Recently, some netizens on Master Jiao's car purchase consultation platform asked: He has 300,000 yuan in cash in his hand and wants to buy a pure electric model, the only requirement is, "I don't want Tesla, I only want anything else, ask Toyota how about the latest bZ4X?" "In this article, we will talk about this car.
Toyota bZ4X is the first product under the Toyota e-TNGA architecture, the platform is actually a very similar pedigree "three brothers" came out, bZ4X is considered a "big brother", the other two brothers, one is Subaru's Soltera, the other is Lexus RZ.
Let's first look at the core selling points of the new car:
The exterior design of the Toyota bZ4X is different from the rest of the family, and the designers have adopted a highly recognizable Hi-Tech and Emotion design theme. But do you like that look? Master Horn personally feels that it will take a while to get used to.
In terms of performance, the battery pack on the bZ4X is a 71.4 kWh ternary lithium battery pack jointly developed by Toyota and CATL, and the CLTC has a pure electric endurance of 615 kilometers. At the same time, Toyota promised that the 10-year capacity of this battery pack would maintain a capacity rate of 90%. This will take time to prove.
The dual-motor version of the bZ4X comes with a four-wheel drive system, which was jointly developed by Toyota and Subaru. This X-MODE 4WD off-road assist mode is combined with Grip-Control intelligent creep mode to cope with more complex road conditions. Of course, if you want to use it to get into hiding, you have to ask if the battery is yes or not, and whether there are enough charging stations along the way.
Interestingly, Toyota also introduced a solar charging dome for the bZ4X. Don't be happy, it is not used to charge the battery pack, but to power the 12V battery, further reducing the power loss during the driving process. If you choose to install it, it can add nearly 1800 kilometers of cruising range to you a year.
In addition, bZ4X will also introduce OMG driving control set, you can call it "beat up the ga", the most eye-catching set is similar to the Tesla Yoke steering wheel of the racer steering wheel, with a steering system in line, which can achieve a steering wheel ± a 150° rotation angle, so that the bZ4X has a more accurate handling performance. Of course, before the Infiniti Q50 is also equipped with a steer-by-wire system, the control feels like playing a video game, I don't know how Toyota's in-line steering feels? Exciting.
In terms of safety, Toyota's bZ4X, which it sells specifically in China, has enhanced its driver assistance system to cope with china's complex road conditions. The VEHICLE's TOYOTA Safety Sense Intelligent Safety Assistance System has been upgraded to version 3.0, including Intelligent Panoramic Monitor (PVM), Pre-Collision Safety System (PCS), Lane Departure Warning System (LDA), Dynamic Radar Cruise System (DRCC), Lane Following Assistance System (LTA), High Beam Automatic Control System (AHB), Road Sign Recognition Assistance System (RSA), Emergency Driving Stop System (EDSS), Door False Opening Warning System (SEA), Predictive Active Driver Assistance System (PDA), etc.
Market Analysis:
After seeing the selling points of the new car, we will analyze the future market prospects of this car in China. At this time, at the press conference, Toyota announced the pre-price of bZ4X, 220,000-300,000 after subsidies, and this price range happens to be the most fiercely competitive in the current domestic pure electricity market, north and south Volkswagen iD.4 series, Tesla Model 3, BYD Han EV, Polar Star 2, and some new car-making forces, such as Xiaopeng P7. But you will find that they are different in size, and the only thing that is the same is the price, from which consumers make a choice, no doubt first consider whether the pure electric endurance performance is true, followed by after-sales service, and the third point is the appearance and spatial performance.
