This was in the news. I haven't contacted the dealer yet but it looks like $2210 pay down and $125 a month. My simple math says about $185 a month.
This excludes any dealer discounts. But may exclude some other fees. I have never leased so no clue.
Great as a third car. Note that this model didn't get very good reviews - hence it being priced accordingly.

Toyota built this as a compliance car to fill a gap in the lineup and has zero focus on it or care. If anything, it is the 'look we built an EV, it sucks!'. The first production run had WHEELS FALLING OFF. They recalled every single one! The car is slow and just utterly wild in it's idiocy.
We test drove the badge engineered Subaru version - the Solterra. Same car, different logo.
The list of infuriating choices piled fast. Want to move the driver's seat? BEEPS. CONSTANT BEEPS.
Want to back up? It beeps on the inside and inside only. Who are they warning?! Me? I"M DRIVING THE CAR.
The performance is just bad. It has a quick little bit of torque and then falls on it's face.
Did I mention the range sucks and that the car does not support fast charging so you literally cannot roadtrip it without hour-long-stops?
All in all, it just felt like Toyota was completely uninterested in building it as it is lower margin than gas/hybrid.
Then you have the ioniq 5. Hyundai's focus is straight up on on beating the Tesla Model Y. They are serious and in it. The car is shockingly better looking in person than the BZ4X. The interior feels like tomorrow and has innovative ideas, way more range, way better software, etc.
Korea is currently having the same moment that Japan had in the 90s, Hyundai should be taken seriously, esp in the EV space.
TX offer is $4k down $219 a month plus TTL

Not around zip code 95054 which is Santa Clara, CA. $129/mo with $1,999 due at sign in or $199/mo with $0 down payment.
Single motor
I own this, it's not great, has a lot of kinks, range, charge speed, software updates etc. Traditional car manufacturers are not computer and software guys, let me leave it at that. but having driven it for 4k miles, I'm not going back to ice cars and now Im having a hard time driving my 2021 Infiniti qx

It's a "fine" appliance. Throws you back in the seat when floored, but steering overall a bit numb. Weird position of the driver's instrument cluster.
Wind noise higher than other cars, but good size in the interior. Roomy. Seats are above average, but nothing exceptional.
Overall, fits my expectations for a toyota. Nothing exceptionally good or bad. Styling is a bit polarizing but growing on me.
There just aren't too many brand new crossovers of this size offered at this price point. I'll feel fine for the next 3 years with the savings and trying out Toyota's first dedicated BEV.

I rather have Nimh tbh
Of course they do. I've bought multiple new cars and never test drove one.
If people really get a feel for a vehicle in a 15min test drive cool

That's not true. Hyundai & Kia are also great car makers.
