In 2022, if there are still traditional car companies that have not launched or are not ready to launch a pure electric vehicle that they have built, it means that this car company will completely lose the right to speak on the track of new energy vehicles.
Toyota is obviously unwilling to give up, so it will release the pre-sale of two pure electric SUVs in the Chinese market on April 28, which are exactly the same sister cars. One of them, from GAC Toyota bZ4X.
Different from the C-HR EV that was previously disliked by consumers, the bZ4X is a new pure electric SUV based on Toyota's e-TNGA architecture, and the pre-price after comprehensive subsidies is 220,000 yuan to 300,000 yuan.
Although the new car is only in the pre-sale stage, the main product information has already been revealed. The author sorted out that there are four highlights of the new car that deserve attention.
1. OMG driving control set
Simply put, it is the special-shaped steering wheel like a racing car on the picture, it is not only a shape pulling wind technology, but more importantly, it is different from the general physical steering system, which is a steer-by-wire steering, which issues instructions by electrical signals. Normal cars, U-turns are definitely going to "turn the plate", but the wire steering is not needed, and the operation is simpler and easier.
2. Solar charging dome
Toyota has arranged a more environmentally friendly and cleaner solar charging dome on the roof of the bZ4X, which can be supplemented by absorbing solar energy to supplement the battery life, and the electricity obtained every year can be increased by about 1750km.
3.X-MODE 4WD
The bZ4X features the X-MODE 4WD Off-Road Assist mode, an off-road system developed by Toyota and Subaru together, equipped with the newly developed Grip-Control Smart Creep Mode, which can achieve light off-road. Nowadays, pure electric vehicles rarely claim to be off-road, and Subaru's full-time four-wheel drive technology has a good reputation, which makes people look forward to bZ4X passability.
4. Up to 615km endurance
Although the 600 km endurance is not a very exaggerated data, Toyota has always been conservative and pragmatic, so this 600 km must be much more reliable than the 600 km of the new power product. Theoretically, when the real endurance of a car can exceed 600 kilometers, calculated by the normal mileage of 10,000 kilometers per year, which means that the number of charging times per year is only 17 times, so is the problem of charging anxiety less "anxious"? Of course, this is only a theoretical judgment, and in fact it cannot be so extreme.
In addition, the new car also has some characteristics in terms of design and intelligent networking, which we will verify when we have the opportunity to test drive this car. In addition, as a product under the e-TNGA architecture, the bZ4X will be manufactured at GAC Toyota's new new energy exclusive plant. We will continue to pay attention to gac Toyota bZ4X and hope that this car can be launched as soon as possible.
