Toyota Bz4x Pure electric 400/615km SUV

Toyota Bz4x is a pure electric SUV.

Appearance: Toyota bZ4X adopts a quite avant-garde design language. Under the "Hi-Tech and Emotion" design theme, it has atypical Toyota family characteristics: it is still a Toyota car full of creases. But it is obviously different from the models on sale. The identity of a pure electric vehicle can be seen at a glance: the big mouth air intake of the spindle is closed and decorated to weaken the abruptness of the grille on a traditional car. But it is not a simple decoration. The narrow air intakes on both sides of the front apron are effective aerodynamic components that can optimize the vehicle's dynamic performance. The outline of the bZ4X headlight is very sharp and simple, but a lot of fold lines are used around it. The upper hood is also integrated with the headlights, forming a distinctive hammer-shaped headlight shape. The daytime running lights and the grille trim are integrated into one, forming a through-type visual effect. In terms of light source, the high/low beam is composed of four LED lamp beads with lenses, which enhances the sci-fi look of the front face of the vehicle.

bZ4X is built on the e-TNGA pure electric exclusive platform. The graceful proportions are integrated with the greatly improved SUV characteristics, showing a novel and majestic body outline. The technological sense of BEV gives it a more special aesthetic design: for example, the four wheels firmly positioned at the four corners of the body can form a short front overhang and a long wheelbase while giving the car a more stable visual effect.

In terms of space and size, it is officially positioned as a medium-sized vehicle. The length, width and height of bZ4X are 4690mm*1860mm*1650mm respectively, reaching the top level of SUVs of the same level. The advantages brought by BEV are fully demonstrated in the wheelbase. The wheelbase of 2850mm almost reaches the standard of large SUVs. On this basis, bZ4X has the following data: indoor length 1940mm, indoor width 1515mm, indoor height 1160mm, which is close to the 1000mm leapfrog rear space of medium and large SUVs. The large 5-seater layout provides a more spacious and comfortable riding experience.

The rear shape of the bZ4X is more exaggerated, and the stacking of a large number of straight lines brings a strong visual impact. The tailgate and bumper adopt a trapezoidal shape theme facing the tires. There are black spoilers at the end of the roof and above the taillights. The diffuser-shaped decoration on the lower surround and the low center of gravity design are full of aura. The upper part of the through-type taillight is very simple, while the lower part is combined with a black trim panel to enhance the sporty temperament.

bZ4X adopts the "Activity Hub" as the design concept, and the style is also very sci-fi: in order to create an immersive cockpit feeling, the instrument panel adopts an encircling design and is equipped with a large central control screen. But the original intention of this design concept is to provide comfortable moving space, so you can find a lot of details in the car that are more suitable for the occupants' comfortable riding or use. For example, some physical buttons are still retained on the center console, which is well integrated with practicality in the future. The large-opening sunroof, the instrument panel pulled to the lower part of the window sill, and the sunken design of the center console: everything the engineers have done allows the driver to feel a wider field of vision than conventional fuel vehicles as soon as he gets into the car. Passengers at the front and rear can also deeply appreciate the spacious space that a BEV should have. High-performance soundproof glass and measures to reduce wind noise can also ensure the quietness of the indoor space, further strengthening the inherent NVH advantages of pure electric vehicles.

The TNGA architecture gives Toyota's fuel stations high quality. Pure electric models based on e-TNGA naturally have a complete set of equipment in terms of mechanical skills, making Toyota electric vehicles more fun to drive, safer and more reliable. In terms of power, bZ4X uses a BEV exclusive platform based on e-TNGA. Judging from the information currently available, the maximum power of the AC synchronous motor is 150kW/200 horsepower, bringing the fastest acceleration time to 100 kilometers in 7.7 seconds, and also comes with a knob-type shift that is more intuitive and easy to operate.

The power battery part is equipped with a lithium-ion battery pack jointly developed with CALT and produced in Toyota's exclusive production line. This battery, surrounded by numerous sensors and capable of "preventing" and "timely detecting signs of failure," has a capacity of 71.4kWh and supports bZ4X to achieve a cruising range of approximately 500km (WLTC working conditions standard). bZ4X’s AC charger has a maximum power of 6.6kW and DC charging has a maximum power of 150kW, which can charge 80% in 30 minutes.

All in all, this is a pure electric model that is very suitable for home use, and its cruising range has reached a very high level, which can meet people's cruising needs.
