Therefore, in recent years, Toyota has been focusing on hybrid power, and both HEV, PHEV and FCEV technologies are at the top of the industry pyramid. On the other hand, the development of pure electric field is always slow, especially in the speed of introducing pure electric products.
As Toyota's first pure electric SUV in China, it subsidizes GAC Toyota C-HR at a price of 225,800-249,800 yuan. EV strength geometry? Let's talk together today.
Exquisite interior and exterior design
As the first pure electric SUV launched by Toyota in China, you can see GAC Toyota C-HR from the model name. EV (hereinafter referred to as: C-HR? EV) is consistent with the overall design style of the fuel version, but some design details are adjusted to make it more refined visually, and it also has the characteristics that should be possessed as a pure electric vehicle.
C-HR？ The front face of EV not only adds fenders on both sides of bumper, but also adds details at the intersection of China Net, which looks very stereoscopic. At the same time, the LED headlights of the progressive turn signal cooperate with the unique "EV" logo, which further enhances the recognition of the whole vehicle and is more advanced visually.
On the other hand, C-HR? The side line of EV is still the same as the fuel version. The wheel arch protruding outward, together with a large area of bottom surrounding and rich waistline design, makes the whole car more powerful. The new "electric" logo on the 17-inch rim and fender with resin fittings is also more visually novel.
In terms of size, C-HR? The length, width and height of EV are 4405/ 1795/ 1575mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2640 mm ... The rear can be said to be the place that best reflects the sports style. The tail shape with upward posture, decorated by the top tail and C-shaped combined taillights, is absolutely in line with young consumers' pursuit of sports.
Entering the interior is still a familiar style, and the center console tilted to the driver's side improves the driver's convenience in driving.
Equipped with 12.3-inch full LCD instrument (high-equipped model) and 8-inch suspended central control panel, the overall interior looks quite advanced under the interior color scheme with black as the main color.
C-HR？ The 8-inch central control panel equipped with EV has built-in Toyota Intelligent Interconnection System, which integrates many functions such as remote control, charging, negligence reminder and maintenance reminder. At the same time, it is also equipped with two interconnected systems, CarLife and Fun Drive Welink, which are enough to meet the daily use needs of current car owners.
The information displayed on the 12.3 inch full LCD instrument is rich enough, such as energy recovery and adjustment, which can be seen on the LCD screen. The digital display style once again enhances the technological atmosphere of the interior. As for the resolution and fluency of the two screens, it has also been greatly improved compared with the previous models.
High-end equipment and safety are a big advantage.
The safety of pure electric vehicles has always been a concern of many users, which may be the reason why pure electric vehicles have been studied since the 1980 s, but they have not been introduced in the domestic market until now.
From C-HR? On EV, we can also clearly feel the hard power of this person who has rich "actual combat" experience in pure electric technology.
Visible security aspects, C-HR? EV low-profile models are equipped with 8 airbags as standard, and high-profile models are equipped with 10 airbags, leading the same class.
In the intelligent driver assistance system, except for the leading version of the lowest model, all other models are equipped with Toyota's latest generation of Toyota? Safe? Sense Zhixing safety system, including PCS pre-collision system, DRCC dynamic radar cruise control system, LTA lane tracking auxiliary system and AHB automatic high beam adjustment system, has realized L2 automatic driving and greatly improved driving safety.
In terms of stealth safety, C-HR? EV is built on TNGA compact car platform, which brings together Toyota's advanced electrification technology. Its ternary lithium ion battery has the characteristics of cold resistance, heat resistance and durability.
Whenever we see the spontaneous combustion accident of pure electric vehicles, we don't lament Toyota's strength in safety technology. The most typical example is that since the first generation Prius was mass-produced in 1997, there has been no battery fire in the world's total of over140,000 electric vehicles, which shows that Toyota attaches great importance to safety.
Full of power, with sports poles.
In terms of power system, C-HR? EV is equipped with permanent magnet synchronous motor with maximum power 150kW and peak torque of 300Nm. The acceleration from 0 to 50 km/h takes only 3.4 seconds.
As for the battery, the newly developed large-capacity Ni-Co-Mn ternary lithium-ion battery is adopted, with a total capacity of 54.3kWh, a NEDC comprehensive cruising range of 400km and a comprehensive power consumption of 13. 1kWh per 100 km. In addition, it is equipped with sports, economy, standard/comfortable driving mode and supports three-speed adjustable power recovery.
In terms of charging, C-HR? The charging interface of EV is located on the left and right sides of the tail, the fast charging interface is on the left, and the standard charging interface is on the right. In the fast charging mode, it takes 50 minutes to charge the battery from 20% to 75%, and in the slow charging mode, it takes 6.5 hours to charge it with an ordinary household interface.
Having said what C-HR EV looks like, let's see how it actually works.
In terms of driving experience, C-HR? The steering force of EV is moderate, neither light nor heavy, and it has good maneuverability whether crawling at high speed or crawling at low speed. In the three driving modes, the difference between them is also very obvious. In normal mode, stepping on the pedal of the electric switch can obviously feel the smooth acceleration of the vehicle.
In sports mode, the acceleration response becomes very positive, and gently opening and closing the pedal will give you a certain feeling of pushing back. Even when driving at high speed, you can easily speed up again without procrastination.
When you shift the gear to B, releasing the switch pedal will trigger energy recovery. Although there is a three-speed adjustable recovery mode, it will not make you feel uncomfortable on the whole, but it is still very good.
As for the chassis and suspension, C-HR? EV has always maintained excellent quality. The weight of the chassis equipped with power battery makes the center of gravity of the whole vehicle move down, and the overall performance of the chassis is more solid. The front McPherson independent suspension and the rear E-type multi-link independent suspension are also used to completely deal with bumpy roads.
abstract
Finally, as the first pure electric SUV launched by Toyota in China, although C-HR? EV is positioned as a small SUV. The cruising range of 400km and the subsidized price range of 225,800-249,800 yuan are not dominant in the highly competitive domestic market, but with its durable and worry-free characteristics, it can still attract many consumers who like the brand to pay for it.
