Today's automotive industry, rather than saying that "new energy vehicles are the general trend of the future automotive industry", it is better to say that "the present is the era of new energy vehicles". In addition to the new power brand, in the traditional car companies, Toyota has been imperceptibly passing on to consumers since the end of last year, and in the future, in the field of new energy, I am a "big family". On April 28, the bZ4X, an important model of Toyota's pure electric strategy, officially opened pre-sale in China, with a total of 5 new models launched, and the pre-sale price range after subsidies was 220,000-300,000 yuan, which will be put into production at FAW Toyota and GAC Toyota respectively. Today I will help you analyze which model is the most worth starting.
As toyota's first truly pure electric model launched in the domestic market, the bZ4X not only represents the beginning of Toyota's electrification transformation, but also means that the e-TNGA architecture has officially entered the Chinese market. bZ4X is built based on Toyota's e-TNGA architecture, positioning pure electric medium-sized SUV, the front-drive model CLTC comprehensive endurance of 615km, the four-wheel drive model CLTC comprehensive endurance of 560km.
The front of the new car adopts a closed mid-mesh design, similar to the shape of the hanging shark, the sense of movement is very strong, more in line with the wind direction of the current new energy model, the integrated light group adopts a matrix LED light source, the light group is equipped with aerodynamic components below the light group, and the hollowing process can further optimize the wind resistance coefficient. The large-area double color block design of the front and rear wheel arches greatly enhances the sense of visual contrast and enhances the sense of technology of the whole car.
The body lines are crisp and clean, with shorter front and rear overhangs and a layout close to the four corners of the four wheels, coupled with the back of the car and the blackened wheel arch, which has the shadow of a crossover SUV. The vehicle's fast and slow charging interface is located on the left and right front fenders, which is significantly different from the charging interface position of many cars. Measuring 4690mm long, 1860mm wide and 1650mm high, the vehicle has a wheelbase of 2850mm thanks to the e-TNGA pure electric platform.
In the rear part of the car, the taillights of the new car are strangely shaped, and the black decorative pieces allow the taillight shape to continue to be extended. The large inclination of the rear window forms a turn at the taillights, forming a small ducktail, which is combined with the huge diffuser at the bottom to create a strong sense of movement.
The interior design adopts a simple and atmospheric style, the lcd instrument of the new car is placed on the top of the center console, the official said that it can effectively reduce the movement of the line of sight and make it easier to drive, and the right side provides a 12.3-inch central control screen.
The special-shaped steering wheel equipped on the previous concept car can be seen on the top model on the mass production car, and the low-end model still adopts the traditional steering wheel shape. The heavy use of fabric materials in the center console highlights the bZ4X's environmental protection concept. The co-pilot's glove box was removed to create a more comfortable space for the co-pilot.
In terms of configuration, the new car adopts the Toyota safety Sense3.0 intelligent travel safety system, which includes pre-collision safety, dynamic radar cruise control and multi-faceted driving assistance to ensure the safe driving of the driver.
These are the basic information of the entire bZ4X series of models, of course, in addition to the configuration, I think the new energy vehicle should be from the power form and endurance as the premise of model selection, so we start from the power form to analyze.
The new car will be available in two power forms, front-drive and four-wheel drive, the front-drive version is equipped with a single motor with a maximum power of 150kW (204Ps), a peak torque of 266N·m, and a 0-100km/h acceleration of 7.5 seconds, and a four-wheel drive version with a maximum power of 80kW front and rear dual motors, a maximum power of 160kW (217Ps), a peak torque of 337N·m, and a 0-100km/h acceleration of 6.9 seconds.
Front-drive models
In the pre-sale of 5 models, provided 3 two-wheel drive models, two-wheel drive aggressive version, two-wheel drive version and two-wheel drive version, the price is 220,000, 240,000 and 260,000, respectively, the difference between the three models is a good comparison, that is, the battery capacity is the difference in endurance and configuration. Among them, the entry-level two-wheel drive aggressive version is equipped with a 50.3kWh ternary lithium battery, the CLTC comprehensive working range is 400km, the two-wheel drive version and the two-wheel drive version are equipped with a 66.7kWh ternary lithium battery, and the CLTC comprehensive working range is 615km. The two-wheel drive aggressive version and the two-wheel drive free-flow version have a price difference of 20,000 yuan, and the biggest difference between the two models is the battery size, that is, the endurance is different, the two-wheel drive enterprise version of CLTC comprehensive working range is 400km, and the two-wheel drive version of CLTC comprehensive working range is 615km.
In addition, the two-wheel drive free-flow version only has more PM2.5 air filter function than the two-wheel drive aggressive version, and comes with a home AC charging cable, and the rest of the configuration is exactly the same. Basically can be understood as more than that 20,000 yuan, buy a larger battery, get a longer range, but the two-wheel drive aggressive version of the 400km CLTC comprehensive working mileage is placed in the present, many models of endurance has even exceeded 1000km, is not 400km more or less some can not say, even if there is a household charging pile, for bZ4X a whole family to use the car, weekend self-driving may be difficult, so in this advice everyone do not stingy that 20,000 yuan, The 2WD Version is a better choice.
Two-wheel drive free-flow version and two-wheel drive free-flow version price difference of 20,000 yuan, battery capacity and endurance are exactly the same, mainly the difference in configuration, below we will see what we can get this 20,000 yuan, the car machine system, two-wheel drive free-flow version with 12.3-inch multimedia entertainment system, face recognition function, intelligent voice interaction system, providing a panoramic sunroof, roof rack, LED headlights from single-eye lens to three-eye lens with better lighting effect, in addition to including automatic anti-glare rearview mirrors, Induction wipers, leather seats, driving position adjustment direction is also raised from 6 to 8 directions, increased by 2 waist adjustment, to provide better waist support for the driver, the front row is also equipped with seat heating, leather steering wheel, steering wheel heating and other comfort configurations, as well as digital keys, keyless entry, rear dual USB interface, mobile phone wireless mobile phone charging function, safety configuration, with parking assist braking function and PVM panoramic monitoring system. From the perspective of quantity and price alone, 20,000 yuan is indeed a lot, but in fact, in addition to the front seat heating, intelligent voice interaction system can not be used much in daily life, it is not recommended to spend more than 20,000 yuan, so the two-wheel drive version is not recommended.
Let's take a look at the four-wheel drive version of the model
Four-wheel drive version with two configurations
Four-wheel drive free version and four-wheel drive free PRO version are also different by 20,000 yuan, the price is 280,000 and 300,000 respectively, the endurance of the four-wheel drive free version CLTC comprehensive working range of 560km, the four-wheel drive free PRO version 500kmCLTC comprehensive working range of 500km, the configuration, the four-wheel drive free PRO version compared to the four-wheel drive free version more rear spoiler, external rearview mirror memory function, exterior mirror reversing linkage, exterior rearview mirror foot lighting function, rear central armrest box increase chrome decoration, Kick induction electric tailgate, keyless entry for the whole vehicle, welcome light for the inner door panel, front and rear foot welcome light, intelligent parking assistant, high-definition PVM panoramic monitoring system, BSM parallel blind spot monitoring system, SEA door misopening system, RCTA reversing side rear blind spot warning system. In fact, most of them are driver assistance functions, which may be of great help to very few novices, but from the perspective of long-term cost performance, it is not recommended to choose the four-wheel drive free PRO version.
In summary, for the bZ4X model, two schemes, better focus on the choice of endurance price of 240,000 yuan two-wheel drive version of the model, focus on performance, have higher requirements for power to choose a four-wheel drive free version priced at 280,000 yuan, CLTC comprehensive working range of 560km can also meet daily use.
In order to obtain a part of the audience at the time of listing, Toyota also provides a pre-sale policy for potential consumers, of course, the price is only a pre-price, maybe in the future, when the bZ4X is listed, Toyota will bring you some surprises. Let's look forward to it.
