How it scores for you10 scores
Toyota caution applied to an EV — easy to live with, but a rocky launch recall, unremarkable charging, and steep class-typical depreciation dull the badge's usual case.
Recalled about as often as cars of the same model years; 1 of its 4 recalls was serious. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Adjusted -3 points for its wider reputation.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $650 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 97% of cars we track.
27.7 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 59% of other SUVs we track.
Flat floor and decent rear legroom in a five-seat compact crossover; sloping roof trims headroom.
Soft, quiet, and slow-steering; modest output and eco tuning leave little to engage with.
Modern screens and a full driver-assist suite, but slow DC charging and weak cold-weather range trail EV class leaders.
Smooth, quiet EV ride; cabin materials and seat comfort are mid-pack.
EVs have typically lost value the fastest.
No published tow rating; all- or four-wheel drive available.
