But don’t underestimate the importance of this car’s landing. Toyota’s our largest brand by a distance, and while late to market with its first full EV, the BZ4X’s arrival validates the electric car revolution to many a sceptic.

It’s mind-blowing, if not quite in the re-wire brain territory of the Porsche Taycan Turbo S. What a great getaway car. That’s daft acceleration.

Time spent driving the small crossover on motorways, country roads and city streets means we’re now able to judge whether Nissan is over-hyping or under-selling e-Power.
