The Toyota bZ3 is a battery electric sedan from Toyota developed for the Chinese market with technology support from BYD. It sits in the compact to midsize electric sedan segment. The body style follows a four door fastback sedan layout with a low roofline and long wheelbase.
Battery options include lithium iron phosphate packs supplied by BYD. Capacity ranges from about 49.9 kWh to 65.3 kWh depending on trim. Driving range reaches about 517 km to 616 km under CLTC testing. The sedan supports DC fast charging, which moves the battery from about 30 percent to 80 percent in roughly 30 minutes. Home AC charging supports standard overnight charging through a wall charger.
Price positioning sits in the lower to mid electric sedan range in China. Buyers who want an affordable electric sedan for daily commuting often choose it. Other electric vehicles from the same brand include the Toyota bZ4X and the Toyota bZ3X. Two alternatives include the Tesla Model 3 and the BYD Seal. Compared with the Tesla Model 3, the bZ3 focuses more on cost efficiency rather than acceleration or software features.
