As the Toyota family's new pure electric SUV model, bZ4X brings a new design and good configuration this time, and while highlighting the new energy characteristics, it also creates a good sense of sportiness. So how does this pure electric SUV perform in terms of configuration? Which of the five models has a higher cost performance? Let's take a look together.
. Appearance styling
In terms of appearance, bZ4X adopts the "Activity Hub" design language, the overall lines are sharp and without losing the sense of technology. The front face part is a closed grille shape commonly found in new energy vehicles, and the headlight group also has multiple lenses inside. It is combined with the imitation air intake design with the folded line shape on both sides of the front bumper, which also creates a strong sense of power.
The lines on the side of the body are extremely rich, outlining a layered light and shadow effect. In addition, the contrasting colors on the fenders are also very eye-catching and create a wide-body effect, which also enhances a certain sense of sportiness with the sloping back body. The small triangle window in the A column part brings a better field of view and reduces the blind spot of the view on the side of the car body, which is of some help to safety. In terms of body size, its length, width and height are 4690/1860/1650mm respectively, and its wheelbase is 2850mm.
The shape of the rear part of the car is very bold. The rear window at the rear is very large and has a good field of view. The edges of the through-type taillight group also have a reverse C-shaped design, which brings a strong visual impact with the raised shape on the tailgate. In addition, the ducktail and the diffuser shape at the bottom also have a certain sense of sportiness. In addition, this model also offers 6 bicycle colors and 5 dual-car colors, namely, Funan Black, Distant Mountain Ash, Twilight Gold, Bright Moon Silver, Snow White, Nebula Red; Far Mountain Ash, Twilight Gold, Black, Twilight Gold, Black, Bright Moon Silver, Silver, Black, Nebula Red and Black.
2. Interior configuration
In terms of interior, bZ4X creates a strong sense of technology through the large-size central control screen shape and irregular polygonal LCD instrument panel, and the overall design also looks very three-dimensional. In addition, touch buttons and some air-conditioning control physical buttons are retained at the bottom of the screen, which is more convenient in operation than a design that is fully integrated into the interior of the screen. The digital vehicle-mounted ecosystem of the Smart Enjoy Cockpit can support voice recognition, OTA software upgrades and other functions. In terms of configuration, bZ4X provides fixed sunroof, roof rack, front camera, reversing radar, rain sensor , solar panel roof, on-board ETC, etc.The safety configuration part is standard for the entire system with PCS pre-collision safety system (front pedestrian identification), DRCC dynamic radar cruise control system (full-speed domain following), LDA lane departure warning system, LTA intelligent lane tracing system, AHB high beam automatic control system, RSA road sign identification assistance system, EDSS emergency driving stop system, PDA prejudgment active driving assistance system, ABS anti-locking belt EBD electronics Braking force distribution, VSC body stability control system , HAC slope start assist control system, TPMS tire pressure monitoring system (with numerical display), BM reversing image, driver's second-level front SRS air bag, co-pilot front SRS air bag, driver's knee SRS air bag, co-pilot knee SRS air bag, front side SRS air bag, side curtain SRS air bag and other configurations.

The configuration changes in other aspects are very small, and the range has also been reduced from 615 kilometers to 560 kilometers. From the practical point of view, the price difference of 19,000 yuan was exchanged for the four-wheel drive system, and the range was reduced by 55 kilometers, which seemed not that worth it.
⑤X-MODE four-wheel drive Ultra Official guide price: 287,800 yuan
X-MODE four-wheel drive Ultra added/upgraded configurations include 20-inch aluminum alloy wheels (cutting), tire size (235/50R20), electric folding exterior mirrors (turn signal + heating) (automatic folding + memory + reversing linkage), front blinds-shaped lower grille (silver trim), side window chrome trim, roof spoiler; interior ambient lights, driver's seat memory and intelligent entry and exit functions, rear seat center armrest and cup holder (plated chrome decoration); parking assisted braking function (stationary objects + vehicles + pedestrians), BM reversing image (high-definition camera), PVM panoramic monitoring system (high-definition camera), BSM line-converged blind spot monitoring system (with door opening alarm function), RCTA reversing side blind spot warning system; smart key (digital key), touch door lock (keyless entry) (5 doors), nanoe (nanoeuvre water particles ion), smart parking assistant, smart anti-clip electric induction tailgate, external power supply (220V/1500W), advanced audio system (JBL 9 speakers); digital key (switch doors, keyless entry), front and rear battery capacity 66.7kWh, CTLT range is 500 kilometers, the front and rear motors are both 80kW (109 horsepower), and the peak torque is 168.5 Nm in front and rear. As the top version, the price of
X-MODE four-wheel drive Ultra has increased by 19,000 yuan again. It has a lot more configurations compared to the X-MODE four-wheel drive Pro, which is also a four-wheel drive. The entire series has exclusive 20-inch tires. At the same time, the intelligent driving assistance and comfort configuration have reached the top, but the battery life has been reduced to only 500 kilometers. However, overall, the cost-effectiveness of this model is still much higher than that of the X-MODE four-wheel drive Pro, suitable for friends with a more affordable budget.
Editor's recommendation:
Comprehensive configuration analysis, it can be seen that from the perspective of practicality and comprehensive cost-effectiveness, the highest-end long-range Pro version among the two-wheel drive models performs the best, and there is no doubt that it has found a good balance between price and configuration. Therefore, we believe that this model has the best overall performance and lists it as the preferred recommended model.
In addition, among the two four-wheel drive models, the X-MODE four-wheel drive Ultra is also cost-effective, which is worth buying for users with sufficient budget and requirements for four-wheel drive and higher configurations.
