Toyota has announced the Toyota bZ3 electric sedan, the second model in its bZ series, jointly developed for the Chinese market by BYD Toyota EV Technology Co. Ltd (BTET). BTET is a joint venture established by Toyota and BYD Company Ltd. (BYD)―and FAW Toyota Motor Co. Ltd. (FAW Toyota).
The electrification system of the bZ3 achieves a maximum cruising range of over 600 km. The battery structure, cooling, control, and safety monitoring systems were all newly designed for this car, making its high-quality electrification system efficient, advanced, safe, and reliable.
The bZ3 electric sedan features the Toyota bZ series' hammerhead shark-like design format. It has a relaxed silhouette, combining the long wheelbase of a BEV-specific package with the long cabin of a fastback. The exterior exudes a highly modulated and elegant profile while the flat door handles, aluminum wheels, and rear bumper is shaped to reduce air resistance resulting in class-leading aerodynamics with a Cd value of 0.218.
The interior features integrate a large vertical center display with a tray-type console. In addition to wireless charging, it integrates functions for linking smartphones and multimedia, providing a new experience for customers. Air conditioning, music, trunk release, and other controls are also integrated into the large display, and voice control greatly advances convenience and innovation.
