The Bozhi 4X from GAC-Toyota is rolling out to dealerships in China. The new model is the first from the sub-brand, with many similarities to the bZ4X, such as the e-TNGA platform and a 66.7 kWh ternary lithium battery. Optional upgrades include X-Mode, an off-roading feature designed with Subaru.

Toyota has launched the Bozhi 4X eSUV in China. The new model, unveiled in November, is the first from the Bozhi sub-brand under the joint venture between Toyota and the Guangzhou Automobile Group (GAC). As its name suggests, this EV has many similarities to the Toyota bZ4X, with several upgrades.

The Bozhi 4X uses the same e-TNGA platform as the bZ4X, with identical overall measurements of 4,690 x 1,860 x 1,650 mm (~185 x 73 x 65-in). The entry-level 615 Air trim of the new SUV has a 150kW motor at the front, with a maximum 266.3 Nm torque, accelerating from 0 to 50 kph (~31 mph) in 3.8 seconds; a 0 to 100 kph (~60 mph) acceleration time is not provided. The range-topping 4WD 560 Max trim has 80 kW motors at the front and rear, with an increased acceleration time to 50 kph (~31 mph) of 3.4 seconds. This version also has X-MODE for all-wheel drive assistance when off-roading. The feature, designed with Subaru, ensures grip is maintained in harsh conditions and helps you on steeper sections.

All versions have a 66.7 kWh ternary lithium-ion battery, providing a maximum estimated China Light-Duty Vehicle Test Cycle (CLTC) range of 615 km (~382 miles), the same as the bZ4X. A 30-minute DC fast charge will increase the range from 30% to 80%. Interior features include a 12.3-inch infotainment screen size with support for Apple CarPlay, Baidu CarLife+ and HUAWEI HiCar. Plus, there are safety features, including lane tracking and a parking assistant. The GAC-Toyota Bozhi 4X electric SUV is now available via dealerships in China with prices starting from 179,800 yuan (~$25,190). The AWD 560Max version costs 238,800 yuan (~$33,460). Whether Toyota plans to launch this upgraded version of the bZ4X in other markets remains unclear.
