TOYOTA UPDATED THE BZ4X FOR 2024 BUT IT STILL LACKS BASIC EV NECESSITIES! JORDAN'S TRIP TO TOYOTA HQ

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Toyota bZ4X, particularly the Limited AWD trim, receives a mixed review. While the vehicle offers a comfortable ride, a good sound system, and competent driver assistance features, its core EV capabilities remain a significant drawback. The reviewer highlights a real-world range of under 200 miles, which is considered poor compared to competitors. Charging performance is also described as subpar, with limitations on DC fast charging sessions per day and a lack of integrated route planning, forcing users to rely on external apps. Despite some minor software updates, such as displaying the state of charge, fundamental issues like the infotainment screen's usability and the absence of one-pedal driving persist. Toyota's conservative approach to battery technology and electrification strategy is noted as a key factor in these compromises, leading to a vehicle that, while a decent car overall, struggles to compete effectively in the current EV market.
