On April 28, FAW Toyota bZ4X officially opened pre-sale, launching a total of 5 models, with a pre-sale range of 220,000-300,000 yuan, which also opened the curtain on Toyota's electrification transformation in China.

This new pure electric SUV has recently taken the lead in overseas listing, of which the United States priced from 42,000 US dollars, about 267,000 yuan, Japan from 6 million yen, about 302,000 yuan, and then look at the domestic pre-price, FAW Toyota bZ4X is still quite generous.
I believe that there are many consumers who can't remember the name bZ4X, in fact, the meaning is very simple, of which bZ is the abbreviation of "beyondZero", which contains the idea that Toyota wants to provide consumers with the value of zero emissions (ZeroEmission); the number 4 represents the size (compact level), and the X represents the body type (SUV).
As the pioneering work of Toyota's "electric drama", the bZ4X is based on the e-TNGA architecture, which completely subverts our previous understanding of Toyota models in terms of styling, and adopts a design concept called Hi-TechandEmotion, which looks very futuristic.
Under the avant-garde appearance is Toyota engineers' understanding of new energy design, such as the closed mid-grid modeling, which not only highlights the pure electric identity, but also can efficiently direct the air flow into the huge air ducts on both sides, which is conducive to reducing the wind resistance of the whole vehicle, thereby reducing the power consumption, and the LED headlight group on both sides is connected with the hood, creating an excellent sense of integrity.
The body side lines are slender in proportion, and the A and D pillars are tilted at a great angle, creating a smooth and rhythmic visual effect, and you will also feel a bit of a crossover taste. The new car has a length of 4690mm/1860mm/1650mm, a wheelbase of 2850mm, combined with a pure electric platform and a very short front and rear overhang design, so that the bZ4X has the compact SUV body, mid-size SUV space performance.
The rear part of the car is more "stealing the scene" than the front of the car, the most eye-catching is definitely the penetrating lightsaber taillights, while the styling design is very exaggerated, and the "double tail" design of the double spoiler + duckling tail is also eye-catching enough. In terms of details, the lack of drive shaft components makes the vehicle chassis very regular, and it can be seen that engineers have also added many hollow designs to the bZ4X baseplate, in order to reduce weight and better weight ratio.
Coming to the car, the new car also subverts our understanding of the previous Toyota models, and the advanced concept of the sense of science and technology it shows is quite outstanding, and the cascading layout of the full LCD instrument and the 12.3-inch LCD screen not only avoids the safety hazards caused by looking down at the instrument, but also has a sense of déjà vu of driving a spaceship.
The interior materials of the new car are also very bold, such as the weaving material covering the entire center console, and the seat is also a combination of weaving and leather, highlighting environmental awareness.
It is worth mentioning that the bZ4X has realized Toyota's attempt to apply the special-shaped steering wheel + steer-by-wire steering to the mass production car, this special-shaped steering wheel abandons the mechanical connection between the steering wheel and the tire, it combines the steering steering technology, and the steering angle of ± the 150° steering wheel can be completed without changing hands and wheels, which is safer and also brings a visual sense similar to formula racing, so the combination of pulling wind is very likely to be launched in domestic mass production next year.
In terms of power, the new car will be available in two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive options, with a maximum power of 150kW in the two-wheel drive version, a maximum total power of 160kW in the four-wheel drive version, and a maximum cruising range of 615km in the CLTC.
The new roof model is also equipped with an efficient solar charging dome, if measured according to the annual driving range of 10,000 kilometers, the annual solar power generation can be used to drive 1750km, which is equivalent to a full 3.6 batteries. The battery equipped with the car also has the characteristics of high performance and low attenuation, which can achieve more than 90% of the battery capacity after 10 years.
As Toyota's pioneering efforts to fully enter the electric vehicle market, the bZ4X has too many responsibilities and missions, and this is just the beginning. Faw Toyota took the lead in domestic production, which gave us greater confidence in the bZ4X. To know that FAW Toyota has a customer base of 9 million in the country, covering 700+ dealers in 1-5 tier cities across the country, backed by Toyota's 25 years of electrification technology coupled with FAW Toyota's mature system, whether it can be a hit, it is almost the final price.
