Thank you for covering this vehicle. Excellent comments. Maybe you can share your thoughts on fully electric versus hybrid and not just for this particular vehicle. It seems the later would give more flexibility to run on gas or electric esp. if occasionally have trips over 200 miles (e.g. across East Texas where not a lot of charging now nor planned for future). Living in Tyler and sometimes needing to go farther than in town, I am just a little reluctant to go fully electric but maybe I am just being too old school?

The positioning of the control panel as opposed to the steering wheel is awkward. I'm not crazy about where I have to position the steering wheel, but a few days into ownership, it's growing on me.

The fingerprints on that NIGHTMARE. lol! That is the first thing I would change.  

The manual passenger side seat is not acceptable in this trim level OR price point. Toyota needs to get with it!

All in all, we find it a very comfortable ride compared to the Rav4 we traded for it.

Hello. I have toyota bz4x. Please report the defects of this car to the Toyota headquarters. For example, a small battery is installed in a car of this size and its consumption is quite high. and other problems
