TOYOTA BZ4X EV WILL BE A DEPRECIATION DISASTER

EV Channels Review

John Cadogan delivers a scathing review of the Toyota BZ4X, labeling it a 'depreciation disaster' and one of the 'world's worst EVs'. He criticizes Toyota's apparent reluctance to embrace EVs, highlighting the BZ4X's significant delays and a critical design flaw that led to wheels detaching. Cadogan dismisses the company's explanations as 'perception bending' and criticizes the automotive media for not holding Toyota accountable. He finds Toyota's new lease offer, which allows customers to pay off the depreciation incrementally, to be a way to 'bend you over' without the immediate shock of a trade-in value collapse. The review concludes that the BZ4X is a poorly engineered vehicle with a dismal future resale value, and the lease deal is merely a way to mask this inevitable financial loss for the consumer.
