The exterior of the new car adopts the "Hammerhead Shark" exterior design, which is not much different from the previously released concept car, and the overall design style continues the previous design elements of TNGA. The new car uses four LED light clusters, which is rare in Toyota's previous models. The lines are angular, and some of the curves are similar to Lexus.
The front of the face looks very sharp. The narrow and long headlights, the daytime running lights above them and the chrome trim strips are connected to form a penetrating visual shape, which further enhances their recognition.
On the side of the body, the two black wheel eyebrows are particularly eye-catching, highlighting the design of the crossover. In terms of body size, the new car has a length, width and height of 4690/1860/1650mm, and a wheelbase of 2850mm. The tail of the bZ4X adopts a slip-back design, the C-pillar has a large inclination angle, and adopts a multi-contrast design, and the sense of technology and muscle coexist. The spoiler movement on the through-type taillights is very strong.
The shape of the rear of the car adopts a design similar to that of a coupe SUV, with a small duck tail above the through taillights, and a large diffuser design that surrounds the upper and lower parts, creating a strong sense of movement as a whole.
The overall design of the interior looks very sci-fi, unlike the home style of Toyota, the bZ4X shows a unique sense of futurism, the 12.3-inch full LCD instrument cluster suspended above the center console can partially replace the HUD function, and the large-size steering wheel is full of various function buttons. The dashboard and the central control screen are not on a horizontal line, showing a different sense of layering.
The central control screen is also a suspension design, although the interface color is relatively single, but the function is powerful, including understanding your mode (smoking mode, weather mode, do not disturb mode, children's mode, each mode starts, there will be corresponding functional changes, such as smoking mode will open the window, only one key operation), vehicle control appliances, intelligent voice control, navigation, QQ music, audiobooks, movie tickets, panoramic images and other functions.
Under WLTC conditions, the Toyota bZ4X can last up to 500 kilometers, the fast-charging mode can charge the battery to 80% in half an hour, and the solar panel on the top can provide an additional 1800 kilometers of endurance per year. It is worth mentioning that the vehicle battery has achieved an attenuation rate of only 10% in 10 years, and it should be known that the 10-year attenuation rate of the usual pure electric model is 23%.
At the safety level, the bZ4X is equipped with the new "TOYOTA Safety Sense 3.0 Smart Mobility Safety Assistance Package", including pre-collision safety system (PCS), lane departure warning system (LDA), dynamic radar cruise control (DRCC), lane following assistance system (LTA), lane change assist function (LCA), high beam automatic control system (AHB), door false opening warning system (SEA), road sign identification assistance system (RSA), More than 10 intelligent driver assistance functions, including emergency driving stop system (EDSS) and predictive active driver assistance system (PDA).

The full name of bZ is "beyond Zero", which means to surpass zero emissions, FAW Toyota bZ4X models not only achieve zero emissions, but also surpass themselves, bZ4X is naturally also placed high hopes by Toyota. Whether it can gain a foothold in the increasingly competitive new energy market may also affect the brand's next trend in the new energy track, but I believe that the future will bring surprises.
