FAW Toyota Eze IZA launched

FAW Toyota's first small SUV, the EIZO, was officially launched, with three new models equipped with a 2.0L+CVT powertrain. It is reported that FAW Toyota will provide 19 modification options for EIZO users.

New car profile: radical personality in appearance

I'm sure you are no longer unfamiliar with the appearance of the EIZO. The car as a whole uses complex lines on the body to "recklessly" outline the car, thus looking very flamboyant. The slender headlights on the front with the striped front air intake below, bringing a sense of movement are also extremely strong. Compared to the domestic Toyota C-HR, the biggest difference of the Eze IZA is the addition of silver trim on the lower part of the front bumper bar air inlet, thus distinguishing the identity.

As for the rear, the new car is almost indistinguishable from the domestic C-HR, with the "door handle" at the back hidden in the blackened C-pillar, which looks chicer. The rear of the car is more concave and convex, and the unique boomerang-style taillights are quite individual as if they are independent of the body, which is expected to meet the aesthetics of young consumers nowadays.

The interior is also not conservative

The interior of the FAW Toyota Eze IZA is a copy of the design of overseas models, with a center console that favors the driver's side and integrates a suspended center screen, horizontal air vents, and physical control buttons. At the same time, the center console also has a piano lacquer material, creating a stronger sense of quality.

Safety features are very generous

In terms of configuration, the new car is equipped with a 9-inch center display, a three-spoke steering wheel, rear air conditioning vents, and other practical features as standard. At the same time leather seats, automatic air conditioning, keyless entry + a key start, and other configurations in the higher models are also equipped. As for safety features, in addition to the common tire pressure monitoring, body stability control system, etc., 10 airbags (main/passenger seat, front/rear side airbags, left/right side air curtain, main/passenger seat knee airbag) and even adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, per-crash safety system are standard on the Eze IZA.

Space performance is general, rear space is hard

The length, width, and height of the Eze IZA are 4405/1795/1565 mm, and the wheelbase is 2640 mm, which has a certain advantage over other small SUVs in the same class. However, the rear space is not ideal due to the too-sporty rear shape. After our actual test, a 180 cm-tall experienced person sat in the front row and adjusted the seat to the lowest level to get 3 fingers of head space; keeping the front row unmoved, the same experienced person sat in the back row to get more than 1 fist of leg space, but the roof shape causes the head space to be very limited, and the narrow windows make people feel very depressed.

All 2.0L+CVT

Power, the new car is equipped with Toyota's latest 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 171 hp, an engine compression ratio of 13:1, a thermal efficiency of up to 40%, and a peak torque can reach 203 NM. The transmission is equipped with Toyota's latest Direct Shift-CVT continuously variable transmission, which has a gear ratio change speed that is 20% faster than before.

New car background.

The history of Eze IZA can be traced back to the C-HR concept car released at the 2014 Paris Motor Show, and the cool production version of the concept car was officially unveiled at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show thereafter. The small SUV was introduced into the country and divided into two versions, the FAW Toyota EIZO and the GAC Toyota C-HR, with only minor differences between the two vehicles on the bumper.

Competitive models.

As the two sales juggernauts of the joint venture brand small SUVs in recent years, Honda XR-V/Binzhi two small SUVs are subject to this adjustment all the time, and this listing of the Eze IZOA is also intended to compete for their market share. However, from the point of view of product positioning, Eze IZA is not the kind of large space of the Colorado / XR-V home attributes, it is more suitable for young people who do not have high utilization of the rear row. In addition, the upcoming entry-level compact SUV Volkswagen T-ROC Tango will also have a competitive relationship with it.

Summary.

As a long-awaited small SUV, Eze IZA shows very distinctive features, extremely personalized appearance, a technology-rich power system, rich safety features, etc. will make domestic consumers shine. However, the rear space with a hard wound is also destined to be not suitable for the needs of families with multiple passengers.
