What's more, it does not really explain how with all this time you did not think of something more catchy than bZ4X for the name of the model ...
about the reason for this nickname and another background on which you can read in the knowledge of his world show.
We will move on to what interests the local market.

More on battery issues while Toyota has stated (and was the first to do so) that its batteries are not expected to drop below 90% even after 10 years of use, regarding warranty - the situation is different.
The car has a 3-year manufacturer's warranty, with the option of an extended warranty for the fourth and fifth years.
The battery receives an 8-year warranty and 160,000 km for a reduction below 70% of the capacity. According to the importer's publications, it will be possible to extend the warranty for another year or 15,000 km for an additional fee.
Treatment intervals are the same as for a gasoline car, every 15,000 miles or year.

, a service and maintenance package for car owners that includes a 22 kilowatt home charging station, free charging at Ev-Edge public stations with a travel distance of 3,000 km, a subscription to road services with answering and assistance, and more.
Its offer significantly more powerful base versions at a price of about 190,000 shekels, in Toyota they sent the bZ4X to deal with a very uncompetitive price tag on its face, at least not in the initial comparison stage, when the front-wheel drive version starts at 230,000 shekels and from there goes up to NIS 250,000 for the dual-propulsion version.
