“Toyota’s first electric car is a good one. It may be no more of a head-turner than rival EV SUVs, but the way it drives will get people talking. It’s super-comfortable and has plenty of space inside, it’s well made and comes with plenty of tech.”

“Distinctive inside and out but grounded in clear-headed practicality and typically solid engineering, the bZ4X is the equal of class favourites like the Skoda Enyaq iV and newcomers like the Nissan Ariya alike.”

“Stupid name aside, the Toyota bZ4X is a formidable entrant to the bulging E-SUV segment – an impressive first move from such a latecomer to EVs. It’s spacious, good to drive and should prove utterly painless to own whether you’re leasing it for a short spell or hanging onto it for the best part of a decade.”

“It’s very pleasant to drive, practical and looks good, while the sturdy Toyota build quality and long warranty will please those who already own other models from the Japanese firm.”

“Though the Toyota bZ4X doesn’t do much to stand out in a pretty crowded electric SUV sector, its sheer user-friendliness makes it one to consider. You’ll want to look elsewhere for practicality, though.”

“Toyota’s first ever go at a pure electric car is not a game-changer, but there’s a lot of ability and subtle appeal in the bZ4x that takes care of the little hassles of running an electric car. It’s clever, competent and useful.”

“While the Toyota bZ4X doesn’t stand out in any single aspect, it’s also lacking in any major faults or annoyances. It feels like exactly what is it: a crowd-pleasing, mass-market mainstream SUV from the world’s biggest car company that just happens to be electric.” (James Attwood)

“It’s shaping up to be an incredibly dependable option. It’s also very comfortable, with a usefully long range and a sensibly-sized battery helping to keep running costs down. Many of Toyota’s traditional sticking points, such as poor infotainment or a cheap-feeling cabin, have been addressed, leaving the end result as a thoroughly recommendable mid-sized electric SUV.”

“There’s nothing radical, but this family SUV – hybrid specialist Toyota’s landmark debut EV – is all the better for a methodical approach.” (Andrew English)

“It’s already clear that this is a fine all-rounder that won’t make life easy for the Kia EV6 and Volkswagen ID.4. We suspect the front-wheel drive (FWD) model in mid-rung Motion trim will be the pick of the range.”

“Ignoring the demands of a marketing team and building an electric car that isn’t faster, harder or sportier than its rivals has worked wonders for Toyota. The bZ4X blends comfort and practicality with a bit of space-age design to create an electric SUV that’s more appealing – and more capable – than the hybrid RAV4. Add in Toyota’s reputation for reliability and the possibility of a 10-year warranty, and it deserves to be a big hit.”
