@hi yeah it's the first-gen bZ4X. I like the part where (as a YT review put it) "you get in, and the only thing that differentiates the car from any other Toyota is the extra button that controls regenerative breaking", except that it's a fully BEV.
The software is trash and the efficiency is not as good as some of the other offerings or the newer bZ (which has better range with the same battery + a Lexus software and updated interior).
But it still manages 300+km on a charge (250 in the winter), it's spacious, robust, the driving aids are great. Overall very happy with it.
Our next car will be a Kia PV5 for the #vanlife-potential, but will likely keep the bZ when our lease expires.

kia looks nice

@hi I'm sure the new bZ is nice, but not so much nicer that I'd consider upgrading (esp. that we got ours, an AWD with a heavy discount when the dealerships were getting rid of their old test-drive cars when the new model was coming in, essentially we got it 40% cheaper...)

@hi I don't think you can go wrong with the Kia-s btw, if you find something that fits your taste/requirements, they are very good.
