The first of Toyota's bZ ('beyond Zero') models is the bZ4X, a five-door, five-seat crossover loosely aimed at the likes of the Volkswagen ID.4 and Nissan Ariya. It's distinctive looking, comfortable and expected to prove dependable. Given Toyota's domination of the new car sales charts in Ireland, you wouldn't bet against this becoming one of the most popular EVs of its type eventually.
