I want a crown signia woodland. I’d want a hybrid powertrain instead of full ev for road trips.
I’m not a fan of Toyota’s current exterior desig, but it’s cool that Toyota is offering wagons in their lineup.
I feel like this is perfect for those moms and dads as a daily vehicle for going to their office work and the grocery stores, with enough capabilities that gives them a sense of escapism, but rarely take advantage of.
"Charging paraphernalia"? 0:27 okay then lol
Are you saying this doesn’t have V2L? Isn’t there a plug in the trunk area?
They should offer a hybrid model and call it Camry X (cross)
I haven’t seen a detailed comparison, but I wonder why the Toyota is $5000 more expensive
So Subaru is getting the same vehicle but priced cheaper? Wow, that's nice. Toyota EVs don't have all the nerdy bits with data and advanced tech, but for those who want regular door handles, buttons, and nobs, and got Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, they got an EV for the average driver.
Sure hope that skid plate has drain holes.
I’d love to see this without the awful black cladding and normal wheels.
I’m automatically cancelling and Toyota with that steering wheel. It’s atrocious 😂
why are we playing as if all these type of limited adventure vehicles make sense? some sort of false reality poser mindset has taken over.
This is just essentially an electric Toyota Crown Signia.
Am I the only one that don't want a wireless phone charger in my car? Could use that room for a lot more and oh yea a freakin glove box.
With Toyota's patented "Let's purposely lose sales by making it ugly" black plastic fender flairs that nobody asked for.
While Ford focuses on Trucks, Toyota is everywhere every market, Ford, Chavy wake the F up.
Now do one with zero off road pretenses, Toyota.
Looks very nice, seems much more practical than that CHR.
Needs the new RAV4 dash and infotainment system setup; new UI and TSS 4.0.
With all the hype that has been public about the Rivian R2, I think the BZ Woodland may be a better option – particularly since it will actually be priced in the mid to upper $40s, and will have Toyota (or Subaru) quality built in. So I personally see this as selling well – not likely in the numbers of the Tesla Y, but perhaps in the 50K numbers. I also personally like the looks of a sporty wagon, that it has.
It still won't sell as a full EV with a slow charging rate.
So what do you get for that extra $5k over the Trailseeker?
I wish it had the Camry’s hybrid system with a real sunroof that opens.
This is what the new Outback should have looked like.
The tiny 3rd brake light looks so cheap! Nice job Toyota.
Good review. Looks like a certified suburban runabout with some chops to get you to a hiking or mountain biking trail. I had to look up the press launch, I knew I recognized Ojai!
They look the same shit with the New 2027 Highlander
Toyota look kind a cheap car 👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾🤣
Matt watson… Is that you? 👀
Great video!😸
It's an electric Outback
There's no such thing as truly offroad e.v.
The cladding makes it looks so cheap
I found the huge center console in the new Solterra really obstructs driver knee and foot room, so much so that the console partially blocks view of my right foot. The Solterra basically shares the same interior as the other Toyota and Subaru EVs. I think the side-by-side dual phone chargers create too much bulk in the center console.
4:24 that extra battery shield is the most-removable/additional shield I've seen on an EV like this. Love that it's replaceable.
To me this would only work as a city car. Range is crap for long distance travel and a 30 minute charging. No thanks. Ill stick to hybrids with 450+ mile ranges and refill in 5 minutes.
I like this more than the RAV 4
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
When is trailseeker review coming?
On this version of the BZ the black body cladding actually makes sense and looks good.
Looks pretty good, would prefer the Subaru myself but that’s just me. Agree V2L would be nice to have.
The bZ is one bumpy EV, glad they gave it ground clearance.
Now I see where the Highlander styling came from.
1st…
