Toyota bZ4X crashes in ANCAP crash test.


The Japanese crossover Toyota bZ4X passed the safety assessment by the Australian agency ANCAP, which uses a unique methodology different from EuroNCAP standards.

Australian safety assessments focus on active safety systems to prevent accidents. Despite some flaws found during the tests, the bZ4X received the highest rating of five stars in all crash tests. Assessments have shown that under certain conditions, the driver and passengers may receive a number of serious injuries.

The Toyota bZ4X, launched in 2021, received an 88% rating for occupant protection. Pedestrian protection was slightly lower at 79%, but driver assistance systems received the highest rating at 93%, with ANCAP experts particularly praising the crossover's integrated emergency braking and lane control systems.

In frontal rollover accidents, drivers are at high risk for chest injuries, and front-seat passengers can suffer leg injuries. Pedestrians should remember the front pillar of the crossover.

In Ukraine, the Toyota bZ4X is available at a price starting at $28,500.

The ANCAP safety rating highlights Toyota's commitment to improving overall road safety by prioritizing the integration of advanced driver assistance technologies as well as passenger protection.

While the bZ4X may be a bit of a concern under certain test conditions, its overall safety performance and robust driver assistance systems position it as a competitive choice in the crossover market, befitting Toyota's reputation as a reliable and safe car maker.

  Lexus, the long-standing Japanese luxury car brand, has decided to say goodbye to the RC and LC coupes and replace the aging gasoline models with one hybrid model. Although coupes are not extremely popular, they are a point of pride for any car brand. The decision to discontinue the RC and LC gasoline models is not related to a drop in demand. In Japan, the coupe has long been perceived as a niche model. If the coupe can recoup the costs of development and production, it is considered a success and a showcase of the brand's achievements. Such models are evidence of the brand's ability to allocate resources to special cars and set a precedent for competitors. This trend was especially evident in the 1990s, when Japanese manufacturers broke sales records and accumulated significant profits. The next hybrid coupe, which will replace its gasoline predecessor, will have a signature Lexus design. Specific details of the exterior have not yet been revealed, but development has been
