In the era of fuel vehicles, most of the models under Toyota have high popularity and are also very considerable in sales. With its strong premium ability, the price of flagship models can even be comparable to luxury brands. With the general trend of electrification, major brands have made extensive arrangements in the new energy field, and Toyota has begun to lose its seat.
On October 26, FAW Toyota bZ4X was officially launched, with a price range of 199,800 to 284,800 yuan. A total of 4 battery life versions were launched, with a total of 5 configuration models. It is worth mentioning that GAC Toyota bZ4X was launched not long ago, with a price range of 199,800 to 287,800 yuan. Except for the top-end price of these two cars, the prices of the other models are consistent. Before
Before Toyota also launched pure electric models such as C-HR EV and Ize Ejinqing in China, but they were all built on the basis of fuel version models, which is the so-called " oil-to-electric ". In addition, the model is of average popularity, and their sales are obvious to everyone.
The biggest difference between bZ4X and the above models is that it is built on the Toyota e-TNGA pure electric platform and adopts a new naming method. Among them, bZ is the abbreviation of the English "beyond Zero", which means "beyond zero emissions". In the future, all electric vehicles born on the e-TNGA platform will start with the name of bZ; 4 represents the positioning of the vehicle, similar to the ID.4, ID.6, etc. of the Volkswagen ID series; X indicates that this is an SUV, and the sedan will not carry X, like the bZ3 is a mid-size car.
In addition, the exterior and interior of FAW Toyota bZ4X also adopts a brand new design, which looks more personal, changing the mean image given by Toyota models in the past. The front closed grille is formed through chrome trim and daytime running lights. The headlight group uses matrix high and low beam lights, and exaggerated flow diversion grooves on both sides, and black decorative parts are added to integrate the wheel arch.
The side of the new car is designed to tilt forward, creating a low-lying and dynamic body posture. The obvious bulging lines bring a good sense of power to the whole car. The middle of the tail is protruding outwardly, forming a strong three-dimensional effect. The through-type taillight extends outward to both sides, and has a high recognition level whether on the side or directly behind.
Inside the car, the design layout of FAW Toyota bZ4X also looks quite avant-garde. What is more attractive is the 7-inch LCD instrument standing on the center console, giving people the feeling of being in the cockpit of the aircraft. The central control screen is 12.3 inches in size and adopts a suspended shape. Many physical function buttons are retained below, which continues Toyota's usual style in terms of practicality.
The interior design of the new car will undoubtedly look younger and fashionable compared to the fuel vehicles currently on sale under Toyota, but it has not gotten rid of the car manufacturing concept of traditional car companies. Compared with our own brand new energy models, it is still slightly inferior in creating a sense of technology.
In terms of power range, FAW Toyota bZ4X provides front-wheel drive and four-wheel drive models with the maximum power of the motor 150 kilowatts (204 horsepower), peak torque of 266.3 Nm, and the comprehensive range of 400 kilometers and 615 kilometers under CLTC conditions; the four-wheel drive version is equipped with dual front and rear motors, with a total power of 160 kilowatts (218 horsepower), and a total torque of 337 Nm, and the comprehensive range of 560 kilometers and 500 kilometers under CLTC conditions, and is equipped with Subaru X-MODE technology and Grip-Control intelligent multi-way condition adaptation system.
Currently, GAC Toyota bZ4X and FAW Toyota bZ4X have been launched. Compared with the sister models such as Leling / Corolla , Wilanda /RAV4 Rongfang in the field of fuel vehicles, the difference between them is smaller, and it can basically be regarded as the same model being sold on different channels.
In terms of product strength, although the new car is built on the e-TNGA platform, it still continues Toyota's traditional car manufacturing concept, that is, it is useless and without any mistakes.Perhaps the bZ4X is more suitable for consumers who have driven Toyota before, but now want to change to another electric car and pursue Toyota's good stability and reputation. So if you have a budget of more than 200,000 yuan, would you choose this pure electric SUV from Toyota? (Text/Shu Xin)
