On April 28, auto business reviews learned from the official office of FAW Toyota that its first pure electric medium-sizeDUV model bZ4X officially opened pre-sale, and a total of 5 models were released for new cars, with a pre-price of 220,000 yuan - 300,000 yuan (after subsidies). At the same time, FAW Toyota has also brought generous and intimate benefits, among which the "freedom to buy a car" includes a variety of financial service products such as pre-sale exclusive custom packages worth 2,000 yuan, replacement subsidies of up to 8,000 yuan, 6,000 yuan of additional purchase subsidies, 2 years of 0 interest rates / minimum 60% of value-preserving repurchases within 3 years, and so on. The "freedom of use of the car" can enjoy the purchase of a car to send the charging pile and free door-to-door installation, 10 years or 200,000 kilometers of free basic maintenance, 10 years or 200,000 kilometers of electric drive system free warranty. It is not difficult to see that FAW Toyota has given consumers enough sincerity in the pre-sale stage of new cars.
As a mid-size SUV based on Toyota's e-TNGA architecture, the bZ4X first gave a complete freshness in terms of appearance.
While the former Toyota SUV was mostly moderate and bland in design, the bZ4X achieved a three-hundred-and-sixty-degree reversal, and the new car adopted a rare drooping shark design of the same class, which not only looked very sporty, but also full of aggression. The sharp shape of the LED headlights on both sides is visually unified by the black trim panel and the vertical air intake below, which strengthens the recognition of the front face.
Coming to the side, the bZ4X design is also very personal, the angular body, the sharp roof line, the eye-catching black wheel eyebrows and the unique shape are highlighting the cross-border attributes and futuristic sense of the new car, such a design you have never seen on any Toyota car before, because it is indeed too innovative. In terms of size, the new car has a length, width and height of 4690/1860/1650mm, and a wheelbase of 2850mm, which is consistent with highlander, and the interior space can be guaranteed.
The rear of the car adopts a slipback shape, the double spoiler design above is matched with the novel style of through-led taillights, which once again creates a good impact on people, it is worth mentioning that as a pure electric SUV, the new car is also equipped with a huge diffuser at the bottom, which has the visual sense of the performance car. Would you like such a design?
Moving to the car, the interior design of the bZ4X is somewhat similar to the starship in the science fiction movie, the 12.3-inch LCD dashboard is moved forward by position, maximizing the head-up effect, improving the sense of safety of driving, and the three-spoke special-shaped steering wheel has integrated various functional buttons in the center, resembling a flight controller. The floating central control screen is integrated with the piano paint trim panel, highlighting the visual simplicity, while the combination of a large number of woven fabrics and leather on the center console and seats adds a warm feeling.
In terms of power, it is a place of great concern to many consumers, bZ4X is based on Toyota's e-TNGA architecture, providing two power drive forms: front-drive and four-wheel drive. Among them, the maximum power of the front-drive motor is 204 horsepower, 0-100km/h acceleration of 8.4 seconds; the maximum power of the four-wheel drive version of the front and rear motors is 109 horsepower, 0-100km/h acceleration of 7.7 seconds. In terms of endurance, the new car CLTC has a maximum cruising range of 615km, which is a normal level in the same class.
Write at the end:
As we all know, Toyota has been exploring pure electric technology for 30 years, but in terms of electrification transformation, Toyota has always been very cautious. This is because any technical transformation needs to have a lot of research and development experience and market reputation as a support, and the blind pursuit of the final result of pure electrification will only become an island after the ebb tide and be forgotten by the market.
Fortunately, Toyota has always adopted a thick and thin tactic in the field of pure electricity, from the THS hybrid system in the 90s of the last century, the later PHEV, and then to the birth of today's bZ series.
Obviously, FAW Toyota bZ4X will be toyota's integrator in the field of pure electricity, and will play a decisive role in Toyota's breakthrough in the pure electricity market in China.
With news that the new car is expected to roll off the production line in June, will you expect this new model to arrive?
