The new Toyota bZ4X, as the first SUV model in the series of Toyota pure electric series, was previously displayed at the 2021 Guangzhou Auto Show, and the design of the exterior and interior was more bold, and a more innovative solar charging module was also available. It is expected to be listed in China, the United States, Japan, Europe and other markets in 2022.
The body appearance adopts a large number of lines full of three-dimensional feeling. The front face adopts a closed grille, no elements of the grille are designed to be more flat, and the standard color scheme of the car has been redesigned to blue.

Xiaopeng Automobile currently has the early development of pure electric SUV model G3, followed by the launch of pure electric cars P7 and P5, the launch of the Xiaopeng G9 flagship SUV model in 2022, is the fourth product of Xiaopeng.
On the surface, the Benchmark model of Xiaopeng G9 seems to be the ideal ONE or NIO ES8 for sale. However, the ideal ONE is indeed a range extender plug-in hybrid model, matching the 1.2T range extender, not pure electricity; the WEILAI ES8 is priced at 468,000 yuan, claiming to be the benchmark luxury brand BBA series, which is obviously different from the price positioning of the Xiaopeng G9. The author believes that the Xiaopeng G9 is more like aiming at the market of BYD Tang EV, before the successful experience of BYD Tang's market, after having its own product characteristics, presumably also to break out of a world.

The side part gives people an atmospheric stretch feeling, a very straight and smooth waist line runs from the front of the car to the rear, and the lower part is surrounded by black color decoration, which increases the sense of stability of the body and also appears more layered. The rear of the car is still a penetrating taillight, which echoes the shape of the front of the car.
The design of the interior has not yet been made public, but according to the P5 recently released by Xiaopeng, it should also adopt a large-screen-based technological design to collect many vehicle functions.
