On March 6th, the price of the first pure electric car bZ3 under FAW Toyota was officially announced. The new car was positioned as a medium-sized pure electric car, and a * * * launched three models with the price range of 169,8-199,8 yuan. Compared with the pre-sale price, the official price of this new car has been lowered by 2 thousand yuan as a whole.
in terms of body size, the length, width and height of Toyota bZ3 are 4725mm, 1835mm and 1475mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 288mm. Although the length, width and height of the new car are smaller than BYD Qin PLUS EV, it has a wheelbase far exceeding the latter based on the pure electric platform.
Toyota bZ3 is also the first model launched after the cooperation between Toyota and BYD. Although it is built on the exclusive platform of Toyota e-TNGA, the motor and battery are provided by BYD.
Next, let's take a look at how to buy this new car made by BYD and Toyota, and which model is more recommended for friends to buy.
Toyota bZ3 223 517km Elite PRO (hereinafter referred to as "Toyota bZ3 Elite PRO") is the lowest model in the whole system, and the price is 169,8 yuan.
as we all know, stack configuration has always been the strength of self-owned brands and the shortcoming of joint-venture brands, but the starting configuration of Toyota bZ3 low-profile models has subverted the professor's stereotype of the latter.
in terms of power and endurance that consumers are most concerned about, the motor of Toyota bZ3 Elite PRO has a maximum power of 135kW and a maximum torque of 33 N m.. With the blade battery with a capacity of 49.92kWh, CLTC's pure electric cruising range has reached 517km.
interestingly, although the three-electric system of Toyota bZ3 comes from BYD, its endurance is even better than that of Qin PLUS EV Premium Edition at the same price, and its power performance is far better than that of the latter. In the professor's opinion, this is shine on you and better than blue.
the motor power determines the absolute performance of electric vehicles, the endurance determines the range of activities of electric vehicles, and the suspension structure can determine the comfort of the vehicles. Toyota bZ3 adopts the front McPherson/rear two-link four-wheel independent suspension system, which is a proper suspension structure for an entry-level medium-sized car.
However, the tyre size equipped with Toyota bZ3 is far beyond the professor's expectation. It comes standard with four 225/5 R18 tires. You know, even the low-profile Asian Dragon is only equipped with a set of 215/55 R17 tires.
In terms of safety configuration, Toyota bZ3 Elite PRO directly fills all active and passive safety configurations. The eight airbags that come standard in the whole system are enough to make many car companies feel ashamed.
in terms of driver assistance, VSC body stability system is only the most basic configuration on Toyota bZ3 Elite PRO. It is also equipped with the latest upgraded Toyota Safety Sense zhixing safety system, which can effectively reduce the probability of accidents and reduce collision injuries.
specifically, Toyota Safety Sense, which is equipped with Toyota bZ3 Elite PRO, covers many functions such as lane departure warning, lane keeping assistance, lane keeping in the middle, road traffic sign recognition, active braking, front collision warning and moving object warning, and can support L2-level full-speed driving assistance.
it is undeniable that China's autonomous driving technology is indeed at the forefront of global car companies, and there is a certain gap between Japanese car companies and some China car companies in cutting-edge autonomous driving technology. However, when it comes to making basic driving assistance a standard, the professor thinks that China car companies have to learn from Japanese car companies.
In terms of comfort configuration, Toyota bZ3 comes standard with leather seats which are more elegant and popular with mainstream consumers in China. Among them, the main driver's seat of Toyota bZ3 Elite PRO also supports 6-way electric adjustment, which is also a conscience among Japanese cars.
In terms of technology configuration, Toyota bZ3, which has always been conservative, has also made some innovations in the use of screens. Among them, the steering wheel integrated customized dashboard and the standard 12.8-inch central control large screen are also unique in Toyota cars. In addition, the new car also supports voice control, digital key, reservation charging, remote control, OTA upgrade and many other functions.
Generally speaking, Toyota bZ3 Elite PRO is a low-profile model, and the professor thinks its configuration is rich enough. The professor can even say responsibly that its configuration richness is no less than that of many self-owned brands with the same price, and Toyota bZ3 Elite PRO is also the model that the professor most recommends everyone to buy.
the price of Toyota bZ3 223 616km long battery life PRO (hereinafter referred to as "Toyota bZ3 long battery life PRO") is 189,8 yuan, which is 2, yuan more expensive than Toyota bZ3 elite PRO. Interestingly, the former is essentially the long-life performance version of the latter.
compared with Toyota bZ3 elite PRO, Toyota bZ3 long battery life PRO has increased the maximum power of the motor to 18kW and the battery capacity of the blade battery to 65.28kWh, so the cruising range has reached 616km.
in addition, the biggest difference between the two is to upgrade halogen high and low beam lamps to LED headlights.
This means that if you spend 2, yuan more, you will get stronger endurance, dynamic performance and a set of high-brightness far and near lights, and that's all. In the professor's opinion, this 2, yuan is not cost-effective.
In the professor's opinion, Toyota with a price of less than 2, yuan is a pragmatic family car. If you pursue high performance, even the Toyota bZ3 with 245 horsepower is doomed not to be your best choice.
in terms of battery life, although the parameter list of Toyota bZ3 Long Life PRO does have 99km of CLTC cruising range, it doesn't mean that you can really run so far. If your car is destined to be charged once on the way, what's the difference between an elite PRO and a long-life PRO?
if you have a hard demand for power performance, and the extra tens of kilometers of cruising range can really solve your cruising anxiety, then you can consider adding 2, yuan to buy Toyota bZ3 long-life PRO. On the contrary, the professor recommended to buy Toyota bZ3 Elite PRO.
the price of Toyota bZ3 223 616km long battery life Premium (hereinafter referred to as "Toyota bZ3 long battery life Premium") is 199,8 yuan. As the top model of the whole system, Toyota bZ3 Long Life Premium is mainly upgraded on the basis of Toyota bZ3 Long Life PRO.
in terms of driver assistance configuration, Toyota bZ3 Long Life Premium has strengthened the Toyota Safety Sense Zhixing safety system, adding new functions such as parallel assistance, fatigue driving reminder, DOW door opening warning and post-collision warning.
in addition, it upgraded the reversing image of the mid-low model to a 36 panoramic image system.
in addition, the upgrade of Toyota bZ3 Long Life Premium in interior configuration materials is also a highlight. It not only adopts a leather steering wheel that supports heating function, but also the co-driver is equipped with an electric seat, and the whole car seat only supports seat heating function.
in terms of technology and audio-visual, Toyota bZ3 Long Life Premium has added facial recognition function, wireless charging in the front row, 31-color interior ambience lights and car air purifier, and upgraded the number of 6 speakers for mid-low models to 7 speakers.
in the professor's opinion, for perfectionists who pursue configuration, performance and battery life, Toyota bZ3 long battery life Premium can be said to be perfect within 2, yuan.
in addition, compared with the 2, yuan that the Toyota bZ3 Long Life PRO has more than the Elite PRO, it seems that the 1, yuan that the Long Life Premium has more than the Toyota bZ3 Long Life PRO is not unacceptable.
I think friends can see from the space occupied by each model. Among the three models of Toyota bZ3, the lowest model recommended by the professor is the Toyota bZ3 Elite PRO.
it is no exaggeration for the professor to say that the power, endurance and configuration of this model still have certain advantages compared with the self-owned brand models at the same price. As for Toyota bZ3 Long Life PRO and Long Life Premium, you can buy them according to your own needs.
