Looking at the current automobile industry, new energy, pure electric has become the main theme, Toyota as a global veteran traditional car company, on the road of electrification transformation has not made much action, and even the old rival Volkswagen's MEB pure electric platform products have been on the market for a year, Toyota still has not launched eye-catching products. Seeing that the Volkswagen ID series products are selling well, Toyota finally can't stand it! On April 28, FAW Toyota's first product from the e-TNGA architecture, the new Toyota bZ4X, finally ushered in pre-sale.
The new FAW Toyota bZ4X launched a total of 5 models in the pre-sale stage, with a pre-sale price range of 220,000 yuan to 300,000 yuan. The new vehicle is positioned as a pure electric mid-size SUV, which will be available in two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive power options, and is expected to be officially put into production in June 2022.
In terms of appearance, the style of the new car has changed the "moderate" and "calm" style of the previous family, and the overall shape and details are handled more radically and stylishly. As a pure electric vehicle, the new car adopts the current popular closed front grille, which is more dynamic with the sharper headlight group on both sides. The front surround of the new car is designed with exaggerated heat dissipation ports on both sides, and with the black trim below, the entire front face is more sporty.
The most eye-catching design on the side of the new car is the wheel eyebrows that match the color matching with the body, and with the upper-back body shape, the sporty atmosphere of the whole car is more intense. The black treatment of the door and window trim with the two-tone rim also makes it more stylish. It is worth mentioning that the new car does not use the current popular hidden door handle, which is one of the few small regrets. In terms of body size, the new car has a length, width and height of 4690/1860/1650mm, and a wheelbase of 2850mm, and the pure electric architecture gives the new car a long wheelbase, which may also bring it better interior seating space.
In the rear part of the car, the angular through-type taillights are in stark contrast with the previous "Toyota car", which is more technological and fashionable. The new car also features an exaggerated diffuser, which is paired with a double spoiler above, making the entire rear of the car more sporty.
In the interior part, although the design of the new car is more radical and bold than the previous "Toyota", it seems that Toyota is still carrying the burden of "calmness" and has not been able to give people a bright feeling. The most surprising thing about the whole interior is the "special-shaped steering wheel" similar to the steering wheel of a racing car, but unfortunately you need to buy a top-mounted model to have it. In addition, the combination of a large-size suspended central control screen and a floating full LCD instrument panel adds a bit of technology to the car. It is worth mentioning that the top version of the new car will also provide digital keys and solar charging functions.
In terms of power, the new car will be available in two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive versions, of which the two-wheel drive version of the motor is arranged on the front axle, with a maximum power of 150 kilowatts (204 hp); the four-wheel drive version is equipped with two front and rear dual motors, and the combined maximum power will reach 160 kilowatts.
