For the pure electric SUV market, which is gradually growing in demand, the price is within 300,000 yuan, and there are few strong competitors. With the entry of GAC Toyota bZ4X into the market, Japanese pure electric vehicles are expected to lead a new wave. Regarding everything about bZ4X, I believe that there are not a few people who are interested.
GAC Toyota announced that the bZ4X pre-sale price is 220,000 yuan -300,000 yuan after comprehensive subsidies, including the option of the four-wheel drive version. From the perspective of price positioning, it is very suitable for the mainstream class of new energy vehicle consumption in China's cities at present, and it is more affinity than the new power products with a starting price of hundreds of thousands of yuan.
What are the differences in GAC Toyota products?
In addition to the characteristics of the product itself, GAC Toyota has its own set of systems for manufacturing, service and marketing and other consumer links, which is reflected in the market is the verified user trust. GAC Toyota bZ4X is built in GAC Toyota's new new energy exclusive factory, and the product quality is guaranteed by its "zero defect rate" quality control standard.
Users who want to buy a car can directly order from the manufacturer through the GAC Toyota bZ mini program, check the order status of the vehicle "scheduling, production, transportation, and arrival" online, and learn about the consumption progress at any time. This full transparency model should be new and unfamiliar to many Chinese consumers. In addition, GAC Toyota also plans to create a user exchange and co-creation community for new cars to create a modern experience.
Important features of bZ4X
GAC Toyota has promised to develop a high-performance, low-decay battery for the bZ4X with a capacity retention rate of 90% after 10 years, which means that the battery performance will be guaranteed to be excellent throughout the product lifecycle. For battery safety, Toyota has designed an all-round collision response structure. GAC Toyota bZ4X is equipped with a high-efficiency three-in-one motor system, which can achieve a pure electric range of 615 kilometers under CLTC operating conditions. The bZ4X is also equipped with the "TSS 3.0 Smart Mobility Assist Kit".
GAC Toyota bZ4X uses a high-efficiency solar charging dome that can be used to supplement battery life by absorbing solar energy. GAC Toyota says it receives electricity each year to increase the cruising range by about 1,750 kilometers. The intelligent equipment of the new car is similar to gazco Toyota's flagship products, including the digital in-vehicle ecosystem in the cockpit, digital keys, and multi-scenario intelligent parking assistants with memory functions.
Toyota's e-TNGA architecture still features low center of gravity and high rigidity, and the new OMG (One Motion Grip) driving control kit, that is, the combination of the racer's steering wheel and steer-by-wire system, is a major feature of the bZ4X series. For the average consumer, the vehicle still offers a traditional steering wheel configuration. The new car has X-MODE 4WD off-road assist mode and is equipped with Grip-Control intelligent creep mode.
Gac Toyota bZ4X adopts Toyota's design concept called "Activity Hub", with a hammer-shaped shark-shaped front face and three-dimensional lightsaber taillights. Although the details of the vehicle are somewhat complicated, the overall recognition is not low. The new car is 4690 mm long, 1860 mm wide, 1650 mm high, 2850 mm wheelbase, and the battery pack is arranged under the vehicle, forming a more spacious interior space, as well as a reasonable front and rear axle load distribution.
What else do I get when I buy a new car?
GAC Toyota provides a series of generous car purchase policies for new car users during the pre-sale period, including limited-time pre-sale waiting rights, Toyota old friends exclusive rights, and super basic rights and interests. It involves configuration options, charging card rights, priority pick-up, replacement subsidies, maintenance and maintenance, charging pile installation and vehicle networking services. Although the bZ4X is the first all-electric product launched by GAC Toyota, they are clearly fully prepared.
GAC Toyota plans to increase its sales share of electrified models to nearly 60 percent by 2025 and 100 percent by 2035. Based on the current product series, the introduction of electric drive systems will bring huge growth space to the development of GAC Toyota. Starting with the bZ4X, we also need to have a new understanding of Toyota's pure electric products.
