Toyota's first pure electric platform model - bZ4X will officially land in the domestic market in the near future, the car positioning pure electric medium-sizeD SUVs, currently in FAW Toyota and GAC Toyota respectively, not only that, Subaru version of the "bZ4X" (Subaru SOLTERA) will also be listed in China. This means that this year alone, there are three versions of "bZ4X" to meet with everyone.
Among them, GAC Toyota version bZ4X and FAW Toyota version bZ4X will open pre-sale on April 28, Subaru version of "bZ4X" has been officially unveiled at last year's Guangzhou Auto Show, has now arrived at some 4S stores, it should be said that these three cars are countdown to the listing.
The three cars are based on the Toyota e-TNGA architecture, each other is a sister model, in the interior and exterior design of the three brothers is almost not much difference, from the following three car comparison chart can clearly illustrate this.

From the Toyota bZ4X, you can clearly feel that it is completely different from the previous Toyota fuel vehicle design, the traditional cautious Toyota seems to be gone, the back-and-back shape, sharp lines, as if it has become an avant-garde pioneer of organic armor.
Although the official positioning is a medium-sized SUV, it is also a standard compact SUV in terms of size, with a length, width and height of 4690/1860/1650mm, and a wheelbase of 2850mm. The less than 4.7-meter car is really not a mid-size SUV, but the wheelbase of the 2850mm is already the same as the Highlander.
Speaking of this, to say a little more, in fact, this is also one of the characteristics of the pure electric platform, will not be limited by the "oil to electricity" layout, pure electric platform will be as far as possible to elongate the wheelbase, the purpose is to create a better space performance. So you will often see a lot of pure electric platform products, although the size can only be considered small or compact, but the space, especially the rear space, compared to the same level of fuel vehicles will be much larger.
Toyota bZ4X obviously has such attributes, you see its three circumferences are almost the same as their own RAV4 Rongfang / Veranda these compact, but the space is much larger, and the rear floor is basically not raised, which is actually one of the benefits of a more reasonable layout of the pure electric platform.
The interior of the bZ4X can be described as sci-fi, which is also an experience that toyota models have not brought us before. Of course, subaru's version of "bZ4X" naturally also shares this interior, the suspension OF LCD dial + suspension style of the central control screen sounds nothing special, but from the design point of view, it is indeed quite unique, but also for the entire interior to bring a sense of staggered.
Toyota bZ4X will have two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive two-wheel drive version, the front-drive version of the motor maximum power of 150kW (204Ps), 100 km/h acceleration of 8.4 seconds, WLTC working condition endurance of 500km; four-wheel drive version of the front and rear motor maximum power is 80kW (109Ps), 0-100km/h acceleration of 7.7 seconds, WLTC working life of 460km.
The Subaru brand, which is known for its horizontal opposition + full-time four-wheel drive, will naturally continue this feature on electric vehicles, so the Subaru version of the "bZ4X" is only a four-wheel drive version (exactly the same as Toyota's powertrain), and the starting price will be higher in the future.
For this kind of electric four-wheel drive of bZ4X, in fact, toyota can see the "cost-saving" side, although it increases the rear-drive motor, but the front-drive motor has become smaller, even if it is four-wheel drive, but the total power and the front-drive model is not much different, but also the additional loss of mileage, some are not cost-effective.
Referring to overseas prices, the Subaru version of the "bZ4X" is only four-wheel drive overseas, starting at $46,220 (about 301,700 yuan), while the Toyota two-wheel drive version of the bZ4X starts at $43,215 (about 282,100 yuan) overseas, and the four-wheel drive version is $45,295 (about 295,700 yuan). Domestic prices should not differ much from them.
