Some time ago, Toyota released 15 pure electric new cars in one go, which is to break its previous "did not want to build an electric car" statement.
In fact, Toyota's electrification attempt began a long time ago. For example, gagac Toyota iA5 is a car, although it is not developed by Toyota, but it is produced by Toyota's factory.
Gac Toyota iA5 and GAC Aean S, are based on GAC's second-generation GEP pure electric platform, and although the iA5 does not hang the Toyota logo, it is crowned with Toyota's name and is also sold in Toyota's 4S store, but this car does not maintain Toyota's consistently high sales.
Judging from the data of the Car 300 used car APP, GAC Toyota iA5 only sold 128 vehicles in December and only sold 5092 vehicles in the whole year of 2021, which is almost at the bottom level compared with the sales of other Toyota models, and it is also more than ten times worse than the Aeon S. Why can't this model with Toyota quality assurance sell?
The front face of GAC Toyota iA5 uses a closed front grille of pure electric vehicle standards, the headlight group shape is eye-catching, LED daytime light source, LED near and far light source, steering auxiliary light, automatic headlight and headlight delay off are standard in the whole series.
The side looks simple and stylish, with a smooth waist line running through the body. Dimensions are 4792/1880/1530 mm and wheelbase is 2750 mm.
The rear maintains the sense of stability of the family car, and the tail light groups on both sides are larger in size and connected by a chrome decorative strip.
The interior provides two colors, one is a stable all-black, the other is a more luxurious black and brown collocation, the material is relatively thick, is based on soft materials and piano paint panels.
In terms of configuration, it is equipped with reversing image, cruise control, front/rear reversing radar, tire pressure display, front keyless entry, leather steering wheel, main/sub-seat front/rear adjustment, 12.3-inch touch LCD screen and other configurations.
Powerly, the car is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous front-mounted single motor, equipped with a single-speed transmission for electric vehicles, with a maximum power of 135 kW and a maximum torque of 300 Nm.
The power consumption of 100 kilometers is 13.1 kWh, the maximum endurance is 510 kilometers, and the manufacturer gives a battery pack warranty of 8 years or 150,000 kilometers.
Overall, the strength of GAC Toyota iA5 is still good, and it is relatively good in terms of mileage, but this car is really awkward in positioning, priced at 16.98-19.28 million yuan, which is 30,000 yuan more expensive than the Aehan S, and in terms of configuration and mileage, the two models are very similar.
Secondly, although GAC Toyota iA5 hangs the name of Toyota, it does not have Toyota's logo, which looks like a domestic car on the surface, but it sells the price of the joint venture car, which will inevitably make consumers worry, and it is not surprising that sales will not go up.
