   It’s a Subbie Outback dressed up like a Toyota minus the X mode.

   Reminds me of Subaru Foresters. Fugly but looks chunky. Hopefully it is as robust.

      A restyled (in my opinion better looking) version will be available, probably for cheaper as the Subaru e-Outback soon. In the states it’s called the Trailseeker, but since the normal Outback won’t be available in Europe anymore in Europe it’ll be the e-Outback.

   Look at that loading threshold. It’s still a SUV, cosplaying as a wagon.

   The white window stickers on the left side of the car is… so odd. What on earth? 😅

   Will it send a bing-bong notification to the insurance company?

   Nice looking motor, but price is a bit much when comparing it to other brands IMO, maybe demonstrators/used will be better value

    If we can’t get a proper estate, a suv estate will have to do! Looks great! Wish it just had a 10 kWh bigger battery option. Winters here in the Nordics are pretty brutal on range.

       Please convey the following to Chinese car manufacturers: I hope all Chinese automakers will take the following measures: From now on, all vehicles (including trucks) will come standard with an air suspension system (air springs + air dampers). This system provides passengers with a very comfortable driving experience. At the same time, I also hope your company will require its global dealers to upgrade older models that require an air suspension system. For older models, each component of the air suspension system requires only a hose and a tire valve. All four suspension components can be inflated manually using an external air pump, and air distribution within the front and rear suspension systems can be ensured using tire pressure gauges. This eliminates the need for air compressors, air tanks, sensors, and electronic control units, thus reducing costs. Furthermore, the automotive glass produced by your company can block 100% of headlights (especially glare) and sunlight, protecting the driver’s eyes. This glass completely blocks the sun’s heat, reducing the need for air conditioning and saving fuel. This glass is also suitable for older models. Owners can replace their old windows with this new protective glass to shield their eyes from car headlights, sunlight, and heat. It also provides comprehensive thermal insulation for the bus body. The bus is equipped with a carbon monoxide detection system that triggers an alarm in case of a leak. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, and toxic gas that is difficult to detect. The bus also has ventilation fans to remove odors from the passenger compartment. When not in use, the fans are covered with a tight-fitting cover to prevent dust and exhaust fumes from entering. The ventilation fans should be installed in front of the engine, for example, and connected to the passenger compartment via a hose. Additionally, the system emits an audible alarm when the bus approaches a speed bump (for example, within 150 meters), as many roads in various countries lack warning signs for speed bumps. I would like the bus to have a low floor, eliminating the need for steps and making it easier for passengers, especially the sick, elderly, and those with disabilities, to board and disembark. I would also like your company’s buses to be equipped with facilities for wheelchair users. Furthermore, each bus should be widened and lengthened to accommodate passengers’ luggage and equipped with restrooms and a rest area for the driver’s assistant. Providing these facilities on your buses will contribute to increased sales. Thank you very much.
       (Please share this information across all technical media platforms. Thank you.)

    8:10 I have the Lexus version (-ish) of that car, the RZ 450e, though it is somewhat older. The ‘bing bongs’ are easy enough to get rid of. Car settings, driving assist, top item on the menu to the left, give it a good swipe up which will cause it to scroll alllllll the way down and you set the item at the bottom, and then the bottom item on the menu to the left, and set the item at the top. I agree, it’s not ideal, but I don’t find it quite that big a deal either. My previous car (VW Arteon, top spec) was decidedly more annoying in that area.

    I´m pretty sure they didn´t add 200mm on top – that´s close to 8″

    £52k for the 4WD version? Toyota must be off their heads. Who in the name of God would pay that for one? Expect to see these heavily discounted on Company Car lists I reckon. That might make sense against and MG

       That’s a very reasonable list price these days. There’s also a cheaper one anyway.

    We almost got back an estate with this new Toyota bZ4X Touring😅⚡🤟
    But still this is actually looking like Toyota making some effort in to giving is good, competitive electric car, that is also quite good off-road and the infotainment system is just huge upgrade. Personally I prefer it’s Subaru cousin the e-Outback (was hoping that Subaru version would be actually more proper lifted estate as an old Outback), also other shared models are to me more attractive on the Subaru side – maybe because of their rally legacy.
    And Nicola great to see you experiencing this new Toyota in our beautiful sLOVEnian country side, probably making the bZ4X Touring even better😅😅😅.
    Electrifying team can’t wait you get your hands on Subaru Uncharted 🤟⚡

    What’s up with the chapter timestamps? They are not referring to the correct times in the video? 😀

    Nicola, the Japanese terms and their pronunciations at the beginning of the video were reversed – the audio didn’t match the words on screen. 🔄😁

    The first word was shown, but the audio played the pronunciation of the second. Later, the second word appeared, but the audio played the pronunciation of the first. 🇯🇵🇬🇧
