Introduction
Lead
Have more children and fight. The North-South Toyota bZ4X with the same appearance, interior and power will be staged on the same stage.
Editor/Hongzu Hu said
As the first model under toyota's exclusive e-TNGA pure electric architecture, the bZ4X has always attracted much attention in the industry. In the field of new energy, Toyota, which took the lead in starting with hybrid vehicles and achieved great success, can replicate the glory of the past in the pure electric market, which also makes many traditional car companies "look forward to it". Following FAW Toyota's bZ4X appearance in the 354th batch of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's declaration directory last month, the RECENT GAC Toyota version of the bZ4X also appeared in the 355th batch of public list.
Judging from the declaration information, GAC Toyota bZ4X highly restores the design concept of the concept car, which is the same as the FAW Toyota bZ4X previously exposed, full of futurism and technology. It is reported that GAC Toyota bZ4X will be listed in 2022. At that time, the bZ4X of the North and South Toyota will stage a good performance of competing on the same stage.
How does the same DNA distinguish between looks?
As we all know, in order to expand more market share, many of Toyota's models have adopted a two-car strategy, which is called "having more children and fighting". From Corolla to Leiling, from Velan to RAV4 Rongfang, in addition to looking very similar in appearance, the vehicle interior and even the power are "almost the same", but there is a slight difference in positioning.

Similarly, both GAC Toyota bZ4X and FAW Toyota bZ4X are consistent with overseas versions in terms of styling.
In terms of appearance, the new car adopts a hammer-shaped shark-shaped front face, and the closed middle net is matched with a more aggressive through-type C-type headlight group, which is very technological. On the side of the body, the body lines are dynamic and stretched, and the lines of the two-color roof, the spoiler at the rear, and the rear window and tailgate are very close to the RAV4 Rongfang. In the rear part, the new car uses the popular through-the-tail lights, and the large black surround at the bottom enhances the sense of sport. It can be said that as a newly developed pure electric vehicle, the design style of Toyota bZ4X is different from the fuel models currently on sale.

FAW Toyota bZ4X
Of course, the two Toyota bZ4Xs lack obvious recognition due to "too much alike". To identify them, you have to take a stupid approach such as going around to the rear of the car to see if it is "GAC Toyota" or "FAW Toyota".
Inside the car, there is still not much difference between the two cars, and the interior integrates two elements of technology and machinery. The new car is equipped with a large central control screen and retains some physical buttons. The LCD dashboard will not be on the same plane as the central control screen and will be smaller. It is reported that Toyota will retain the application of One Motion Grip steer-by-wire technology on the bZ4X. In this way, the new car has a smaller radius of steering and is easy to handle.
It is worth noting that the special-shaped steering wheel with very characteristics in the previous concept car can replace the traditional three-spoke steering wheel and appear on the top model, which is worth looking forward to.
Size power same difference only price?
Unlike the previous Toyota sister models, which still have slight differences in body size, the body size displayed in the declaration information of GAC Toyota bZ4X and FAW Toyota bZ4X is exactly the same. Among them, the length, width and height of the new car are 4690mm× 1860mm× 1650mm, respectively. At the same time, thanks to the unique layout of the e-TNGA's proprietary architecture, the bZ4X has an ultra-long wheelbase of 2850mm and a spanning front and rear space of up to 1000mm.
In terms of power, both models are available in front-drive and four-wheel drive versions, of which the front-drive version will be equipped with a single motor with a maximum power of 150kW, and the four-wheel drive version will be equipped with a dual motor with a total output of 160kW, using the X-MODE four-wheel drive system jointly developed with SUBARU, and the newly developed "Grip-Control Intelligent Multi-road Adaptation System", which can be easily handled for both daily home and outdoor light off-road.
In terms of cruising range, the single motor version has a cruising range of 500 km under the WLTC condition, while the dual motor version has a cruising range of 460 km. Compared with Tesla Model Y and BYD Tang EV, it is slightly lower. It is worth mentioning that the bZ4X top-of-the-line model will be equipped with a solar charging dome, which can be replenished when parking, strengthening environmental protection and replenishing the mileage.
In addition, there is news that toyota bZ4X will have 90% battery health performance after 10 years or 240,000 kilometers. In fact, if this is the case, then the second-hand retention rate of the car will be greatly improved.
According to the order of declaration, FAW Toyota bZ4X or before GAC Toyota bZ4X listed. The same exterior, the same interior, the same power, I am afraid that the most suspenseful is the price. After the official listing, the most tested thing is the marketing strength of GAC Toyota and FAW Toyota.
