Just ordered one, company car. Not had chance to test drive. Sat in one, feels really premium, looks okay, and fully loaded for £40k. Managed to bag the JBL / Panoroof option too. 20" wheels seem to knock range a bit, but should still get 250-280 miles realistically.

Looked at a Kia EV4 which seemed nice enough, and seemed best for range. Also considered the new Nissan Leaf but none available to sit in yet.

Coming out of a leggy 5yo Polestar 2 (145k miles!). Did have a Polestar 4 ordered through Salary Sacrifice, then the business fell out with the provider and now we are back to plain old company cars with a fixed monthly allowance and no additional contributions / cashback.

Think the biggest shock will be going from a 400bhp EV rocketship to the relatively sedate 230bhp Toyota.

There was one of these parked outside me office the other day. Looks great.
I have its bigger brother the bz4z, which I still think looks ace, i have no idea how similar they are but it all works as it should. Have had it nearly 2 years and the connectivity was a bit iffy to start with but now is much better. I like the drive / reverse selector that seems to be common to toyotas, and the low set wheel / dash arrangement works well.
Will be interested to hear how you get on as i fancy one when err indoors Volvo xc40 goes back at the end of the year
