New 2026 Toyota bZ4X review: has Toyota finally fixed it?

Join Tom as he gets behind the wheel of the fully updated Toyota bZ4X to discover whether this long-awaited facelift has finally changed it into the electric SUV it constantly should have been. After a rocky start, the big question is simple: has Toyota fixed the issues that held the original automobile back?
Out on the road for the very first time, Tom dives into the modified powertrain, chassis tweaks, upgraded software, enhanced charging, and all the small-but-important changes that assure to make everyday driving smoother and more effective. But is it enough?
With competitors like the Škoda Enyaq raising the bar for comfort, range, and functionality, the revitalized bZ4X has plenty to show. Tom delivers his decision: is this now a real rival in the household EV segment, or have these improvements showed up too late to make a real effect?

    Still no glovebox? C’mon Toyota!

      Space under the center console fits more than most glove boxes. Also, easier to reach for the driver. I don’t miss it.

    Great to hear someone call it acoustic glass rather than double glazed

    Nice to hear the BZ4X has greatly improved… It is now up to the standard that we expected from Toyota 4 years ago!
    At least it is an “option” rather than a total “hard pass”.

    The touring looks more interesting.

    As a 2023 owner, it’s nice to see Toyota has addressed its shortcomings. I may need to trade up. Great review as always! Cheers from Canada. 🇨🇦

    Tom first another great review, glad to see you back on Electrifying channel 🤟🤟⚡⚡
    and yes it looks like Toyota is actually getting serious about EVs just look at the new C-HR+, Urban Cruiser , Lexsus ES, and these new BZ4X updates are really big and definitely well needed, now it is actually compelling EV to get especially if it’s still good to drive and capable off-road.

    Good to see Toyota making improvements. Given the wheel issues with the early cars, perhaps this is the car that they meant to launch.
    One bit of constructive feedback, a few weeks ago Ginny said the channel would only be quoting usable battery sizes, but this video had gross sizes quoted. Perhaps it’s time to introduce some standardised graphics to show both.

    Here in the US it is a very unusual combination the smallest battery size in the segment and some of the highest ground clearance while now having competitive range and hp. I’m curious to see a 70 mph test to see if it gets the advertise range/efficiency. Not sure why it needs that weird instrument cluster when none of Toyota’s other cars need it with the exception of the Prius.

    I think I’d go for the CHR+ over this. That is a very cool looking car and one of the best looking Toyotas at the moment.

    Looks much better including the touring version, shame they didn’t change the name 😢

    Do the wheels stay attached?

    So glad Toyota haven’t gone down the route of making door handles impossible to use.
    It’s so nice to see normal door handles. Even if they may affect the cars range by -0.001% or reducing it by a whole 30 yards or so!!

    PS – And I bet they’re a lot cheaper to repair if they don’t work!!
