What Owners are Saying About the 2027 Toyota bZ
"Depends what you want"
"Honestly have loved my two year experience. Haven’t personally encountered any of the issues people mentioned in the 1-star reviews. As with buying any new car, you lose the most in depreciation the first couple of years. Re CCS charging, when at a true CCS fast charging station, ie in the bay, it gets 15 to 90% in about 20-40 minutes. Can’t say I’ve timed it. Regardless, enough time for me to get a cup of coffee and run to the bathroom. Not recommended for road trips from NorCal to SoCal. I take it from Sacramento to Bay/SF without any complaints. That said, I don’t drive in the middle of the night to experience the extreme battery charge drop off that is associated with extreme cold temps and most EVs (ie<50 degrees F). Cannot comment. I mostly use it for work commute within Sacramento, home charging. Love the transition from gas to electric so far. As early adopter of EV, as long as you expect you’re paying a premium for it, I don’t have any regrets. And as I am using my dollars to do my small role in electrification, increasing EV competition and diversifying from Tesla, I understand the potential financial impact. You have to accept the financial impact if what you want is similar to me. I trust Toyota as a brand considering I drove my 2000 Camry to 300k miles without issues, I am willing to risk it with the untested (time wise) new EV and model. You need to accept that risk too, otherwise you may leave disappointed."
"Great comfort drive"
"Very spacious interior. Good mileage per charge. Runs very smoothly whether in the high way or city."
"Great car"
"This car was built to be like any other Toyota, it just happens to be electric. So if you want a Tesla, or your car to be more like a Tesla,than this car is not for you. If you want an electric car that just feels like your Toyota Camry or RAV4 when you get in and out, or when you drive. This is the car. Charging speed could be better, but isn't as bad as you are led to believe from other reviews. I've been getting around 250 miles per charge, which is great range as well."
