Toyota bZ4X

Electric cars have traditionally cost more than equivalent petrol, diesel or hybrid models but the market is increasingly competitive and the bZ4X is similar money to the plug-in version of the RAV4. It also looks good value against rivals like the VW ID.4, Skoda Enyaq iV, Kia EV6 and Hyundai Ioniq 5. In terms of costs even with rising energy prices there are potential savings running an electric car like the bZ4X compared with petrol or diesel, especially if you have facility to plug in at home. To that end Toyota throws in a complimentary British Gas charging point and six-month subscription to a wide network of public chargers through a dedicated app. Toyota also offers different ways into the bZ4X, including a flexible, all-inclusive leasing option where all costs are covered in a single monthly payment. More conventional finance packages are also available, including one geared to business users, but the goal of creating more accessible ways for drivers to go electric is laudable.
