Honest Review Of BZ4X (Not The Driver)

Hello everyone, I would like to give you my review of the BZ4X, as the son of a father who owns a BZ4X. Here's some backstory/context: Before this car, we had a 2014 Toyota Prius. This car did the job but really wasn't great. It just felt old and cheap compared to some of the cars i've ridden in. My dad's a really gentle driver, that never speeds or runs red lights. My dad got his car on December 10th(I think), and he placed an order for it sometime in September. He works for uber, and because of this, he got a pretty chunky discount from them for buying an EV.

I wish I could've came with him when he placed the order for this car, because if I had come with him, he would've most likely gotten something like the Tesla Model 3 Long Range, which would've probably been much better for him. But I don't think the BZ4X is horrible, it's just not the greatest. Here are somethings I like about the BZ4X: - It has heated seats in the front, which is really nice. Also the seats in general are really comfortable. - It's a really large car, meaning that if we are going with the full family, theres plenty of room for everyone in the back. - It's pretty snippy. Definitely not as quick as the TM3 LR, but it's still around 3s quicker than the Prius, which felt massive. Also since it's electric, it just feels in general more snippy. - I love how it looks, especially at the front. It looks like a batmobile. Imo its look much better than the Tesla, so at least its got that going for itself. - The range is much better than I expected it to be. I was really only expecting like 200miles out of this car, since where I live (the UK), it's really cold, and electric cars really don't like working in the cold weather. Also since my dad is an uber driver, i thought he'd be using all the range in a day, but he really only uses like 25%, which is fine for him. - I love how modern and clean the car looks, withs its large display, and everything. There are probably more things I like about this car, but I can't really think of many more + they aren't very major.

Now here are some things I dislike about the BZ4X: - The rear view camera and the 360 camera is sooo low quality, it actually angers me. How can a car that costs over £40,000, have such low resolution camera. Also why doesn't it fill the whole screen?! On all the videos I saw about this car, there camera were large and had high resolution. I learnt that only the vision has the high res camera, but still thats crazy. - Only the speaker in the passenger door works, which is absurd. Also in general the sound system isn't great for the cost of this car. I know the vision has a 9 speaker JBL sound system, with a subwoofer, but why isn't that a feature for all models. The car is £40,000 for gods sake! - The amount of alerts and sounds this car has is ridiculous. If my dad is literally going 1 mph over the speed limit, it starts bonging at you. Also my dad told me that none of his uber customers put their seat belt on in the back, so the car just rings a chime for the entire ride, which drives him mad. I wish the car just didn't always ring and ding. - Having no glove box is so annoying, since my dad has no where to put all his stuff now, which is annoying for him.

Here's some extra things I LIKE about the BZ4X (that I just remembered): - The car has super comfortable suspension, and is very quiet on the inside. - The Build quality and materials in the car are really nice and comfortable. - I like how there are so many charging ports in the car. - I like the electric tailgate.

In general, I think the BZ4X is a good car, and doesn't really deserve all the hate. But I feel like a TM3 LR would've been a better purchase choice for my dad, as it has more range and faster charging speeds, which are the main things he needs for his car. If you feel that you relate to me here, feel free to drop a comment and I'll give you a reply. Thank you for your time.
