As we all know, for many car companies, especially joint venture brands, engaging in the "two-car strategy" is already their way of being poor in donkey skills, with the lowest cost of car manufacturing, to maximize the interests of the brand, but for consumers, some people threaten "true fragrance", some people are crazy to complain, and this time, Toyota will do the double-car strategy to the extreme.
April 28 is a memorable day for both GAC Toyota and FAW Toyota, because the two Japanese joint ventures opened the pre-sale of the first pure electric SUV model in almost the same period of time on the same day.
Specifically, FAW Toyota bZ4X has launched a total of 5 models, and the pre-price range is 220,000-300,000 yuan, while the bZ4X of GAC Toyota is also a 5-model configuration, and the key is that the pre-price is also 220,000-300,000 yuan. Frankly speaking, 220,000 people buy a medium-sized pure electric SUV, how many ingredients need to be supported by faith?
Since both models are based on Toyota's e-TNGA platform, I also compared most of the day and found that the new car can be said to be almost exactly the same in appearance, semi-enclosed front face, matrix headlight group, and black elements were added to the wheel brow and front fenders. The only difference may be the difference in the tail marker.
The appearance is already so, the interior is naturally a highly consistent design, 12.3-inch suspension central control screen, with a newly designed dashboard, compared to the current fuel model, a change of inherent impression, highlighting the avant-garde fashion style.
It is worth mentioning that in the future, Toyota intends to introduce a "racing driver steering wheel + steer-by-wire steering system", that is, a very cool special-shaped steering wheel, which should be an optional configuration on the top model. But that said, the solar charging dome carried by the two vehicles is very capable, and the annual power generation can be used for the vehicle to travel 1750km.
Speaking of which, I have to talk about the power aspect, Toyota's two bZ4X models are not much different in power, front-drive, four-wheel drive, and according to different battery capacity, the maximum mileage is 615km, decent.
Written in the end: GAC Toyota and FAW Toyota this time like to say good, at the same time pre-sale pure electric SUV, if the price of the listing is also the same, it will be interesting, the real sense of fair competition, all rely on faith.
