The Toyota bZ3X electric SUV has made its first appearance in Hong Kong and Macau with the official launch of the right-hand drive (RHD) version. The bZ3X, which debuted on September 27 at the Kowloon Bay flagship showroom, is the first Toyota battery-electric car created especially for Hong Kong.
The Toyota bZ3X is priced at 259,000 HKD (about USD 33,100) in Macau, but the price in Hong Kong is still pending and could be different.
Toyota bZ3X Performance and Battery

Charging: CCS2 compatible, 6.6 kW AC charging and 90 kW DC fast charging

Toyota bZ3X in Mainland China vs. Hong Kong/Macau
With a starting price of 109,800 yuan (USD 15,100), the Toyota bZ3X made its debut in mainland China in March 2025 through the GAC-Toyota joint venture. There were several battery configurations available:
- 50.0 kWh pack – 430 km CLTC range
- 58.4 kWh pack – 520 km CLTC range
- 67.9 kWh pack – 610 km CLTC range
Navigate on Autopilot without HD maps was made possible by the inclusion of Robosense lidar and Momenta 5.0 ADAS in the top trims.
The Hong Kong/Macau version most closely resembles the 520 Pro+ trim but uses a larger 70.0 kWh battery, retains the 150 kW motor, and adds premium features like the YAMAHA audio system and panoramic roof. It excludes the lidar-assisted driving and higher-output 165 kW motor found in the 610 Max trim, though.
Price comparison:
Mainland China 520 Pro+: 139,800 yuan (USD 22,445)
Macau RHD version: 259,000 HKD (USD 33,100)
This represents about a 47% price increase due to regional taxes, RHD production scale, and market positioning.
Toyota bZ3X Global Outlook
The right-hand drive (RHD) market expansion into Japan, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore is also made possible by the introduction of the Toyota bZ3X in Hong Kong and Macau. This action demonstrates Toyota’s plan to expand its range of electric SUVs globally while adjusting to various driving systems across the globe.
