Plug-in hybrids aren’t fully electric, but 70 miles of electric range is solid and beats the competition.

They also mentioned a full-electric version coming.
All this sounds great until the dealerships slap on huge markups. Then no one can afford them.
Does this mean the bz4x will be gone by 2026?

Hopefully. It’s not a great car in its segment.

And it has a terrible name.
Wait, didn’t Toyota already make an electric RAV4 years ago?

They did, but it was more of a compliance car back then.
No clear specs yet? Feels like they’re late to the game.
There’s so much misinformation in this thread.
Glad I didn’t wait and just got the 2025 RAV4. Gas model still works for me.

Toyota’s hybrid systems are way ahead of their gas-only counterparts.

Got a source for that claim?
@SarahBrown
Toyota’s eCVTs are known for their reliability. Many mechanics have never had to repair one.
@SarahBrown
Toyota hybrids like the Prius have been proving their durability for decades. The simplicity of their transmissions is a big factor.
@SarahBrown
The lack of issues reported and the massive number of these cars on the road speaks for itself.

I actually bought two recent models, both gas versions, and they’ve been fantastic.

Living in Ottawa means dealing with tons of snow and salt. Gas models are just more reliable for that.
Will they keep offering the hybrid option? One of the biggest selling points for this car is how normal it feels to drive. No charging needed, great gas mileage, and lots of space. I know some people like full electric cars, but I’m not ready for that.
@Shay
The article does mention hybrids sticking around as an option.
