GAC Toyota Bozhi 3X

¡¾Most Satisfied¡¿
1. Space: The space is very large, with a wheelbase of 2765mm. Especially the rear - seat space can even rival that of the Honda Passport. The rear seats can be reclined backward by about 15 degrees. You can sit in the back row and cross your legs with no pressure at all. The trunk is also quite capacious and can easily hold two 28 - inch suitcases. There is also a hidden space under the trunk cover.
2. Appearance: I opted for the Creamy White. This color is a pearl paint, and it just gets better the more you look at it. It's one notch above the ordinary white. The overall appearance of the vehicle is also quite appealing.
3. Function: It is equipped with a Yamaha sound system, and the sound quality is good. Regarding the seats, there are front - seat ventilation and heating, an entry - exit welcome mode, a one - key ¡°big - bed room¡± mode and one - key reset, three - level seat memory for the driver and front - passenger seats, and automatic rain - sensing wipers. I think they are all quite practical. The air - conditioning also blows cold air strongly in summer. Thanks to the multiple lidars, ordinary radars, and multiple cameras in the intelligent driving version, the car's 360 - degree panoramic view and reverse warning functions are very driver - friendly.
4. Driving assistance: I don't use the driving assistance mode much. Generally, you have to pass an exam on the app first before the intelligent driving function is unlocked. I think this is a good thing. I've used it a few times occasionally, and I feel that the intelligent driving mode is quite good. The driving style is quite conservative.
5. Driving experience: The rear suspension of this car is a torsion beam, which is a drawback. When sitting in the back row, compared with an independent suspension, the difference isn't very obvious on paved roads, but you can definitely feel it on bumpy roads. However, when driving in the front, it's okay. It drives very much like a gasoline - powered vehicle. The chassis tuning really has the feel of a big - name manufacturer. To be honest, this is really good.
6. Energy consumption: In fact, the lowest energy consumption I've achieved is 11.5 kWh per 100 kilometers (in summer with the air - conditioning on, 120 kilometers on provincial roads and about 10 kilometers on the highway). As I said before, it depends on the terrain (uphill or downhill), your driving technique, the road conditions (congested or not), and the weather (extremely hot or cold). All these factors need to be considered. This is the second electric vehicle in my family. After overall experience, the driving method is quite similar to that of a gasoline - powered vehicle. Take the bZ3X as an example. In summer with the air - conditioning on, as long as you don't drive aggressively, the energy consumption can easily stay around 14 kWh per 100 kilometers, or even lower. Just like a gasoline - powered vehicle will consume a lot of fuel if driven violently, the same goes for electric vehicles.

¡¾Most Satisfied¡¿
It has a small body but a large interior space. It's easy to drive and very practical, backed by Toyota's excellent quality heritage. The battery range is decent. The appearance is good-looking, neither exaggerated nor overly low - key, with an obvious family design style for the car series. The vehicle has high - level safety configurations and uses solid materials. All models come standard with 8 airbags and a pre - collision system. The battery safety has already met next year's national standards in advance.

¡¾Least Satisfied¡¿
The intelligent driving experience on urban roads is not very satisfactory. The voice assistant is sometimes difficult to wake up and not particularly smart. The driver's door needs to be closed with some force. The automatic parking system can detect empty parking spaces, but sometimes the execution cannot be initiated by clicking.

¡¾Driving Experience¡¿
The power is more than sufficient. In sport mode, the acceleration is very strong. In energy - saving and comfort modes, the acceleration is smooth and not abrupt.
The start is very smooth, the acceleration is strong enough, and one can have confidence when overtaking. Turning on the air - conditioner has no impact on the power at all, and the air - conditioner cools effectively. Even when the car is fully loaded, the impact on acceleration is minimal. The steering wheel is slightly heavy, but the steering is very precise. The braking is linear. When turning, overtaking, or changing lanes, the car doesn't feel floaty or wobbly, indicating good chassis tuning. However, the noise is relatively large when driving on the highway at speeds over 100 km/h.

¡¾Riding Experience¡¿
Both the front and rear seats have ample space, and the leather seats are very comfortable. The floor of the second row is completely flat. The driver and front - passenger seats can be flattened with one click to form a single - bed mode, which is an excellent configuration for office workers to take a lunch break.

¡¾Power Consumption¡¿
Power consumption on urban roads: For a 14.8 - km commute home with 5 traffic lights, tests were conducted in energy - saving, comfort, and sport modes. The air - conditioner was set at 25 degrees with a 2 - speed fan, and music was played normally while driving gently. The power consumption in energy - saving and comfort modes is similar, ranging from 11.2 to 11.8. In sport mode, it is slightly higher at 13.3. When driving on the highway at a speed of 100 - 110 km/h, it's quite energy - efficient, consuming 15 - 17 kWh per 100 km. At a speed of 120 - 130 km/h, the power consumption reaches 18 - 21 kWh per 100 km.

¡¾Battery Range¡¿
On ordinary roads, the range is about 420 km, which is 80% of the full range. On the highway at a speed of 100 - 110 km/h, the range is 350 km, which is 70% of the full range.

¡¾Driving Experience¡¿
This car doesn't have an independent suspension, but it doesn't sway when driving. It's quite similar to a gasoline-powered car, responding precisely to steering inputs and being rather nimble. My daughter didn't get carsick when sitting in the back row. That's also the reason why I placed an order right after the test drive, as she would get carsick in the back row of the Deepal S05. I don't feel any difference when driving in the city on a daily basis, but it gets bumpy when driving on rough rural roads.

¡¾Range and Energy Consumption¡¿
I use the car mainly for commuting and taking my daughter to and from school and extracurricular classes. Since I have a home charger installed, I'm not very concerned about energy consumption. When driving, I like to use the energy-saving mode, which gives a bit of a one-pedal driving feeling. Releasing the accelerator pedal will automatically apply the brakes. The energy consumption is about 15 - 18 units, and I charge the car once a week. I'm quite satisfied with it.

¡¾Assisted Driving¡¿
Since I mainly use the car in the city, I don't use the assisted driving feature very often. I've used it a few times, and overall it's quite good. I hardly need to take over the control myself. The assisted driving mode is more aggressive than I am, making decisive judgments and quick operations. What I'm most satisfied with is the intelligent parking function. It's so convenient to park! Female drivers love it.

¡¾Intelligence¡¿
I use the Bluetooth key, so I don't need to carry the car key when going out. I can turn on the air conditioner and open the windows in advance on my phone and also make charging appointments. After the recent OTA upgrade, the connection between the car and the mobile device has become much more convenient.

¡¾Least Satisfied¡¿
There are two things I'm not satisfied with: 1. The appearance is boxy and not very good-looking. It's not suitable for female drivers. 2. The charging port is at the front, so I have to drive the car in nose-first for charging, which is very inconvenient.
