bZ4X is worse than RAV4 PHV in every regard but EV range, bZ4X efficiency is poor - not compared to Volvo, Audi, Škoda ... no, compared to other Toyota vehicles.
bZ4X is not a downright bad vehicle compared to competition, but it is a bad Toyota car.

And also comparing oranges vs apples. That little pure on ev range doesn't give the overall result as the rest of the power delivery is from gasoline. Bz4x has good efficiency.

Otherwise it's a good car so far. Toyota already proven that pair with BYD. I don't what Chinese wanna rich kids found in Tesla toys with trash built quality
Anonymous , 10 Mar 2023But bz3 is really promising with good range, quality and reliability of Toyota Even Toyota is not happy with bZ3 regarding safety ... that does not mean it still won't be a good car. On the other hand bZ3, even with Toyota reputation, which is pretty much zero in China can hardly compete on that particular market.
Regarding previous post - it feels like stating unnecessary information that pretty much every one knows.

Their top selling vehicles are still hev or phev. Ev will be mainstream in coming 5-10 years. Toyota is planning for that being the most advanced in ss battery tech. And with the most amount of liquid money in hand we know what they're able to do. Even they're the most profitable car maker as well.

Special in the US, the highest car sales market outside China. And Toyota's main sales are still not pure evs. They lead all the way in the world. It's not like Ford or GM or VW which are only regional top. Even for ev market Toyota is going to be top sooner or later because they're the most advanced in solid state battery patent. And added up reliability, even old brands can will hardly outnumber Toyota in future.

IMHO, all the criticism pointed at bZ4X is more than deserved, I would be even less nice than EV Arena, because I actually sat in that vehicle.
Would be nice if they would cover new Prius PHV more through. It is looking like an excellent car that might put a lot of pure EVs to shame, but what can you do - it is EV Arena, not Hybrid Arena :D
I'm a bit fed up with the anti Toyota bias in Arena EV. Based on the very low volume of comments in this site it doesn't look like you have readers to spare, and you are about to lose one.
Toyota suffers the same fate Tesla will face as well.
China is an incredibly volatile, fast market and Tesla ... let alone Toyota can't keep up with Chinese brand EVs.
Toyota not having a decent EV platform on the market certainly does not help the efforts when it comes to performance and packaging - bZ3 would be more than enough for Europe (if it would not be saloon) where one of the most sold EVs is tosh like iD4, but on more completive market, they will have much harder time to even catch attention.
