Model years to avoid

Toyota BZ4X

What it says about you

Opinion

Toyota's first serious electric car, launched with a name nobody can say and a slightly apologetic air. You bought it because it was a Toyota, and that turned out to be the whole thesis.

Not measured, not from the data, and offered in fun. Everything below this is not.

3 model years on record, 34 complaints filed. That is too few to measure against. Every finding on this site compares a year with the same model's other years, and that needs about 40 complaints in a year and 4 years to compare it with. This nameplate has none. So nothing is claimed either way — the recalls and ratings below are the record, and they are the whole record.

Every year

  1. 2025 2 recalls 5 complaints
  2. 2024 3 recalls 24 complaints
  3. 2023 4 recalls 5 complaints
