The Toyota bZ3 is a battery electric compact sedan jointly developed by Toyota, BYD Auto and FAW Toyota through the BYD Toyota EV Technology (BTET) joint venture and produced in China since 2023.[2] It is the first battery electric sedan by Toyota, and the first sedan from the bZ series.

Overview

The Toyota bZ3 is the second model to be part of the Toyota bZ ("beyond Zero") series of zero-emissions vehicles following the bZ4X crossover SUV, which shares the e-TNGA platform with the bZ3.[3] Before its introduction, the design of the bZ3 was previewed by the bZ SDN concept car in December 2021.[4][5]

The bZ3 debuted in October 2022 for the Chinese market. It is powered by a blade lithium iron phosphate battery developed by BYD, which offers a claimed 600 km (375 mi) electric range. The drag coefficient is claimed at 0.218 Cd.[6][7]
