Our opinion

The practical view.

“Shortlist it for the way it fits your household, not for a headline acceleration or range number.”

Why it belongs on a shortlist

1,500 kg braked towing limit
22 kW three-phase AC charging
Ventilated front seats and panoramic roof

Trim guidance: Toyota's grade specification sheet lists 452 L of cargo space, while its model overview states 422 L. Check usable space if boot fit is important.

Conservative planning allowance derived from the published WLTP figure; it is not a guaranteed real-world result.

Absence of a listed issue is not a reliability claim. Official recalls, manufacturer campaigns, repeated reports, isolated reports and editorial observations are never blended into a fake failure rate.
