In this detailed video, we are going through a full walkthrough of the front cabin—covering the door controls, the physical buttons on the steering wheel, the unique driver display, and the massive Lexus-derived infotainment screen. We’ll also be diving into the My Toyota app to see how you can remotely manage your charging, climate, and vehicle security.

My Toyota App Connectivity: Allows owners to remotely check battery range (with and without AC), set charging schedules, and even use facial recognition for driver login and multimedia setup [08:08], [09:04].
Customizable Driver Experience: Deep settings menus allow you to change the "Meter Theme" colors, adjust headlight sensitivity, and even limit DC charging speeds to preserve battery health [05:32], [06:12].
Practical Center Console: Includes dual wireless charging pads with status indicators, an eco-mode toggle, and a butterfly-opening central armrest storage [07:04], [07:50].
