With the deepening of the double points policy, joint venture brands have also launched pure electric vehicles to respond to policy or market demand, but at present, joint venture brands are still cautious about the market prospect of pure electric vehicles, which is not as radical as independent brands. To this end, Guangzhou Auto Toyota will launch the first hanging Toyota target pure electric model-C-HR EV, the appearance has been adjusted. Some netizens said, can it be any uglier?

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced the latest new car declaration information, Guangzhou Auto Toyota C-HR EV model officially announced, from the appearance compared with the fuel version has obvious differences, and the use of pure electric drive mode.

The car, which has been publicly unveiled at this year's Shanghai Auto Show, is a veritable "oil-to-electricity" model. In terms of appearance, the front face of the Guangzhou Automobile Toyota C-HR EV canceled the intake grille, the whole front of the car is more rounded, and the extended area of headlights on both sides is larger, so the coordination and adaptation are not very consistent. The appearance and shape of the original C-HR is controversial, and after the new model has no original design, it always feels a little abrupt.

The side shape is novel, but it is also the most controversial part of C-HR. The overall waistline of the new car is very high, especially the design of the rear waistline, resulting in a small visual space of the rear windows and a more depressing feeling in terms of riding. In addition, the back row uses a hidden door handle design, which is also a place that consumers need to get used to.

The tail continues the "strange" design of C-HR, and the interior is expected to change little from the fuel version. In terms of power, the declaration information shows that the new car is equipped with a motor with a maximum output of 204 horsepower, matching ternary lithium batteries, and NEDC mileage data have not been released.

GAC Toyota has launched two pure electric models, the Guangzhou Auto Toyota ix4 EV and the iA5, both of which are GAC MOTOR's replacement models and also use the GAC logo, and the C-HR EV is the first pure electric vehicle to hang Toyota's logo.

The design and shape of C-HR is controversial originally, of course, radish and cabbage have their own preferences, some consumers think that they are good-looking and sporty, while others will have no feeling at all. The styling of the Guangzhou Auto Toyota C-HR EV has been adjusted on the fuel version, causing many netizens to complain. "can it be any uglier?" One netizen said so. Some netizens think that they don't want Toyota to be like this!

Toyota is currently at a disadvantage in pure electric, but it also has some forward-looking layout and research and development. At this year's Tokyo Motor Show, Toyota showed electric vehicles with solid-state batteries. Toyota believes that the advantages of solid-state batteries are smaller size, higher battery density, half charging time, and little difference between cost and lithium-ion battery. and can greatly extend the driving range of electric vehicles, but it will be late to achieve mass production of cars with solid-state batteries. In addition, Toyota and BYD announced a joint venture to cooperate in the research and development of pure electric vehicles and power batteries.

Therefore, Toyota's real pure electric vehicle has not yet appeared, and the launch of C-HR EV is more in response to the double points policy and market demand.
