2023 TOYOTA BZ4X REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Daily Motor team found the 2023 Toyota bZ4x to be a competent, if uninspiring, first effort into the EV market from Toyota. While it boasts Toyota's reputation for reliability and a surprisingly enjoyable driving experience with a unique interior design, it falls short as a compelling EV. The reviewers noted a "floaty" experience and appreciated the steering and overall handling, but criticized its range, charging speed, and infotainment system's lag. They specifically highlighted the unusual steering wheel and cluster placement as a "pod-like" experience, reminiscent of early Priuses, which they found engaging. However, they concluded that while it's a "good car," it's "not a very good EV," recommending potential buyers wait for future Toyota EV offerings, as this model plays it too safe compared to competitors like the Tesla Model Y.
