faced the booming domestic pure electric vehicle market, and the rapid entry of many independent and joint venture brands once created a prosperous electric vehicle market. As one of the earliest car companies in the world to get involved in electrification technology, Toyota started in-depth research on electrification technology 28 years ago. However, the pursuit of practicality and reliability of the brand concept has allowed Toyota to surpass the definition of domestic new energy vehicles for a long time and directly enter the more convenient hybrid era.
Of course, at the key node of the transition from traditional fuel products to new energy, Toyota has also begun to accelerate its deployment in the pure electric vehicle market, which means that Toyota’s research and development achievements and focus on gasoline-electric hybrid systems have begun to transform into the pure electric field. .
In April this year, Toyota's pure electric matrix launched three arrows-GAC Toyota C-HR EV, FAW Toyota's Yize E Jinqing and Lexus UX 300e. Since the second half of the year, Toyota has carried out test drive activities of three pure electric vehicles in many places in China. The test drive content is mainly composed of straight acceleration, turning around the pile, and multiple continuous sharp bends.
It can be seen that Toyota’s test drive is intended to give everyone a deep experience in both performance and control, proving that its pure electric models can also have driving and control fun beyond imagination.
So, how fragrant are Toyota's pure electric vehicles?
Toyota is not fun?
For a long time, Toyota models have basically not emphasized radical driving experience and handling.
However, as products based on the TNGA architecture have successively landed in the domestic market, driving pleasure has gradually appeared in Toyota's new models, including the C-HR EV from the GA-C platform, the E-jinqing and Lexus UX300e.
You should know that the TNGA architecture introduced the concept of low center of gravity at the beginning of its design. After installing battery packs and box girder structures, the center of gravity has been reduced by 34% compared with fuel vehicles, and the torsional rigidity of the body has increased by 20%. Although the weight of pure electric models is indeed a lot heavier than fuel vehicles due to components such as batteries, the increased importance does not affect the control of these pure electric models.
In this test drive project, the most worth mentioning is the winding piles and sharp curves that test the handling performance of the vehicle and the texture of the chassis.
C-HR EV and Yize E Jinqing both use a front MacPherson + rear multi-link dual independent suspension collocation. This suspension combination and moderate soft and hard tuning make the new car have a very A good bump filtering capability can significantly improve the comfort of passengers, which is in line with the usual style of Toyota vehicles.
In the extreme speed test, the directivity of these two models is very accurate, and the front of the car can basically keep up with the driver's steering consciousness. In addition, the body stability control system (ESP) intervenes in a timely manner, the chassis has an excellent performance, and the stability of the vehicle is very strong, which will not make the drivers and passengers feel uncomfortable.
and Lexus UX 300e use the front McPherson independent suspension and the rear multi-link independent suspension. When cornering, you can feel the car’s chassis is very tough and the support is very good, which can clearly distinguish the two models. Different joint venture models.
In terms of steering, Lexus UX 300e needs more force than Toyota's two pure electric models, but the steering accuracy will be higher. In addition, the quietness of the Lexus UX 300e is still commendable even in extremely fast corners and detours. Compared with battery life, Toyota pays more attention to safety.
In the concept of electric vehicles, Toyota has always been committed to absolute safety. In addition to grasping the safety in design and manufacturing processes, Toyota has repeatedly treated these pure electric models. The vehicle has undergone various tests, such as thermal stability test, high-speed bumpy road durability test, water immersion test, and L-direction extrusion test.
As for the batteries of the core components of electric vehicles, C-HR EV and Yize E Jinqing use Panasonic's square battery cells. Its advantages are the consistency of the battery cells, the battery pack is not prone to failure, and the excellent heat dissipation. Combines stability and security in one. Secondly, in order to prevent the battery pack from catching fire when it is hit by a strong impact, the vehicle's high-voltage electric circuit is set in the center of the battery pack, and the battery pack is surrounded by a cold air duct.
ensures that when the side of the vehicle is hit, the cold air duct can play a buffer role,Can effectively reduce the risk of fire. In addition, the battery pack itself is a sealed structure, and the bottom of the battery pack has been painted twice as thick as the previous one, which can completely achieve dust, water, and rust prevention. In addition, a major feature of Toyota's pure electric vehicles is that the battery pack is designed as a part of the body frame, and the battery pack is protected from the impact of underpinning or impact by using a reinforced material "box beam structure".
So far, Toyota has sold more than 15 million new energy vehicles worldwide, which is enough to confirm Toyota's success, and zero battery accidents are enough to make Toyota proud. Z1z
Postscript
Nowadays, more and more new products are added to the new energy vehicle market, but Toyota has always adhered to its own pace and steadily promoted its own electrification strategy. With Toyota's continuous accumulation and investment in vehicle electrification technology, it is estimated that by 2025, the global sales of Toyota's electrified models will exceed 5 million units. By then, there will also be 10 new Toyota electric models active in the Chinese market .
After this comprehensive evaluation, Toyota vividly showed us that pure electric vehicle products can still be played like this. The three models show excellent power performance and control performance under the blessing of TNGA architecture and the world's leading electrification technology. What's more, whether in the design and manufacturing experience of the full hybrid field, or the reliability and safety of the battery system, Toyota is the industry leader. I believe that under the general trend of domestic pure electric vehicles, the future of these three vehicles can be expected.
