Toyota’s first electric vehicle, the BZ4X has some unusual design elements

Motor Torque with David Berthon

Driving Toyota first all-electric SUV – the BZ4X you would have seen the
advertising for the BZ4X with owner Barry asked what made him finally go
electric which he proudly proclaims because it’s a Toyota. I look forward to
spending more time behind the wheel but on first impression I found this new
electric Toyota to have some rather strange design elements. Step behind the
wheel and you’re met by a high mounted instrument cluster and a steering wheel
position that completely blocks the instrumentation – the only way to sight the
instrumentation is to put the steering wheel down into your lap which is
downright uncomfortable. A head up display on the windscreen would have been
far superior. I’m glad Barry really likes the BZ4X, because this along with an
awkward gear selector dial, would have to be some of the worst automotive
design features I’ve come across. I’m David Berthon
