As the first pure electric vehicle under the e-TNGA structure, FAW Toyota bZ4X has received widespread attention since its debut at the Shanghai Auto Show last year, and on April 28, the new car finally officially opened pre-sale, with a total of 5 models released, with a pre-price of 220,000 yuan - 300,000 yuan (after subsidies).
First of all, to do a small popular science for everyone, the name bZ4X at the beginning of reading everyone may feel more awkward, "bZ" is like "ID", is TOYOTA's pure electric product sequence, meaning "beyond Zero", that is, "beyond zero emissions"; 4X is well understood, "4" represents the body size, similar to Volkswagen ID.3, ID.4, which shows that the model released this time belongs to the intermediate size (C-High). The last letter "X" stands for SUV, and the sedan will not. Toyota plans to launch 7 bZ series models around the world by 2025, learn this little rule first, and the next time you see other bZ models, you should be able to see it at a glance by name.
In terms of exterior design, the new car adopts Hi-Tech and Emotion as the design theme, integrating the bev's sense of technology with the vehicle. The enclosed front grille features a central blackening treatment, and the sharp headlights set with aerodynamic components on both sides of the front of the car highlight the strong aura of this SUV model.
The multi-waist design of the body side and the Y-shaped structure through the taillight group further enhance the bZ4X's fashion sense. Perhaps from the picture, the size of the new car is not particularly impressive, but in fact, FAW Toyota bZ4X has a wheelbase of 2850mm, and a body size of 4690*1860*1650mm (length, width and height), which can definitely meet the daily travel needs of most people.
The interior design is honest, there is not too strong sense of technology, compared with Toyota's fuel vehicles, the change is not much. The simple circular three-spoke steering wheel integrates the physical buttons of more commonly used functions, with reasonable layout and convenient operation. The central control area is a 12.3-inch floating multimedia LCD screen with an L-shaped design on the lower panel.
In terms of power, FAW Toyota bZ4X provides two forms: front-drive and four-wheel drive. Among them, the maximum power of the front-drive motor is 150kW; the maximum power of the front and rear motors of the four-wheel drive version is 80kW. In addition, the four-wheel drive model is equipped with a new intelligent X MODE four-wheel drive off-road assist mode jointly developed with Subaru to achieve better than the same level of vehicles to achieve better than the same level of vehicles.
In terms of battery life, bZ4X is equipped with CATL Cataline era capacity of 50.3kWh and 66.7kWh ternary lithium batteries, according to the battery / drive form of different CLTC comprehensive working conditions of 400 km, 615 km and 560 km respectively. It is worth mentioning that the bZ4X's high-efficiency solar charging dome (optional), by absorbing the electricity converted by solar energy, can increase the cruising range by about 1750km per year. At the same time, the bZ4X is equipped with an external charging function, which can be used as a power supply outdoors or in emergency situations.
In recent years, the rapid development of electric vehicles, but Toyota has not made a big move, to know that they began to explore new energy power technology as early as 1965, can be regarded as a pioneer in the industry.
In 1977, Toyota launched the Toyota Sports 800 gas turbine hybrid, in 1991 launched the pure electric box car Townace Van EV, and in 1993, the oil-electric hybrid research was officially launched, and in 1997, the world's first mass-produced hybrid model HEV-PRIUS was born.
In 2011, after the launch of the Prius PHEV, Toyota seemed to be more optimistic about hydrogen energy models, releasing the world's first mass-produced hydrogen fuel cell sedan Mirai in 2014, and releasing a second-generation hydrogen fuel cell Mirai based on the TNGA architecture five years later.
In 2021, Toyota held an electric vehicle strategy conference, and released 16 pure electric concepts, since then officially forced the electric vehicle market, and bZ4X has also become the first model of the bZ pure electric series under the e-TNGA framework, so on the accumulation of technology, although Toyota came late, but the strength is extremely strong, nothing else, just say that the battery loss of this thing, bZ4X battery to the world's top 10 years after the battery capacity retention rate of 90% for research and development, This alone can beat 99 percent of the opponents currently on the market.
Finally, I will introduce you to the pre-received benefits with the new car, such as pre-sale exclusive value of 2000 yuan custom package, up to 8000 yuan replacement subsidy, 6000 yuan additional purchase subsidy, 2 years 0 interest rate / 3 years of minimum 60% value repurchase and other financial service products.
You can also enjoy free on-site installation of car-ready charging piles, free basic maintenance for 10 years or 200,000 kilometers, and free warranty for 10 years or 200,000 kilometers of electric drive systems.
