AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)06/17 Report--
According to Yuan Qicong, a well-known car critic, the bZ4X, Toyota's first all-electric new car, which was scheduled to go on sale today, has suddenly cancelled the launch event, and the exact time has yet to be determined. According to the car critic, after consulting the factory leader, the answer was that "Toyota has postponed the price release in order to ensure the interests of users because of the recent uncertainty in the supply chain." is setting a price that is more consumer-friendly. At the same time, it revealed: "in a recent test, Toyota found that the bz4X battery management system could go wrong in a cold environment, resulting in a failure to recharge." The source said that this may be due to the design of the power supply temperature control mechanism, because the heating power is not enough to meet the working temperature requirements of the battery in the cold environment, resulting in failure. If the news is true, it is a design error and a low-level mistake. However, as the battery suppliers of the Chinese version are different from the overseas version, it is not known whether the defect is a special case of the Chinese version or an overall design error. Toyota's Chinese version of bz4X will not be available until this defect is resolved.
Toyota officials have not responded to the news. As of press time, GAC Toyota bZ4X is not listed yet.
According to previous reports, the bZ4X is based on Toyota's e-TNGA architecture, and the new cars will be listed by FAW Toyota and Guangzhou Automobile Toyota respectively. The two models are sister models to each other. It should be noted that whether it is Guangzhou Automobile Toyota or FAW Toyota, the new car name is "bZ4X". It is not known whether the official Chinese name will be released.
In fact, the bZ4X model has been preheated online for a long time, and the GAC Toyota bZ4X prototype was unveiled at the 2021 Guangzhou Auto Show. On April 28th, FAW Toyota bZ4X and Guangzhou Automobile Toyota bZ4X started pre-sale at the same time, with a pre-sale price range of 22-300000 yuan. Among them, FAW Toyota bZ4X will launch two-wheel drive progressive version, two-wheel drive smooth version, two-wheel drive free version, four-wheel drive PRO version five models, while Guangzhou Automobile Toyota bZ4X will launch Elite, long-range Elite, long-range Pro, X-MODE four-wheel drive Pro, X-MODE four-wheel drive Ultra5 models.
As sister models, FAW Toyota bZ4X and Guangzhou Automobile Toyota bZ4X are basically the same in appearance, interior decoration, power and other aspects except for different model configuration names. Among them, according to multi-media reports, Guangzhou Automobile Toyota bZ4X originally planned to launch this evening.
As a new pure electric model developed by Toyota, in terms of appearance, Guangzhou Auto Toyota bZ4X adopts a new design style. compared with the current Toyota traditional fuel vehicle design style, the appearance of the new car is more radical. Specifically, in the front part, the new car uses a closed middle net with a very radical penetrating type C headlamp group, while the lower encirclement adopts a penetrating styling design, which has a great sense of science and technology. The overall lines of the new car are strong on the side of the body, and the lines of the two-color roof, rear spoiler, rear window and rear door of the new car are very close to those of the RAV4. In the rear part, the new car is equipped with popular through taillights, and the black encirclement of the bottom area further enhances the sense of movement of the rear.
In terms of body size, the length, width and height of Guangzhou Auto Toyota bZ4X is 4690/1860/1650mm, and the wheelbase is 2850mm, which is similar to that of Volkswagen ID.4X. As a reference, the length, width and height of Volkswagen ID.4X are 4612/1852/1640mm and the wheelbase is 2765mm.
In terms of power, GAC Toyota bZ4X will provide two driving forms: front-wheel drive and four-wheel drive, in which the maximum motor power of the front-drive version is 150kW, and the front and rear motors of the four-wheel drive version are 80kW. In terms of driving range, the maximum mileage of the two-wheel drive model CLTC is 615km; the mileage of the four-wheel drive version CLTC is available in two versions of 560km/500km.
In terms of market competition, Toyota bZ4X is expected to compete with Volkswagen ID.4 and Nissan Ariya, all of which are built on pure electric platforms. As a reference, the data show that the Volkswagen ID.4 family sold 15869 vehicles (including FAW-Volkswagen ID.4 CROZZ and SAIC-Volkswagen ID.4 X) in the first quarter, which is lower than its own brands in the new energy vehicle market, but significantly better than other joint venture brands in the joint venture market. By contrast, Toyota bZ4X and Nissan Ariya are late models, but they are more stylish in design, showing a unique sense of the future of electric vehicles. It is unclear how competitive the two models will be. Based on the current production power of GAC Toyota bZ4X, its market performance still needs to be determined by the final pricing announced later. According to the plan, GAC Toyota plans to account for nearly 60% of its electric model sales by 2025 and 100% by 2035.
