After a period of preparation and testing, Toyota (Toyota ) finally ushered in the second work of the bZ series pure electric car series - bZ3 in the Chinese market. In addition to being classified as a sedan style according to the model positioning, this car is also the first time that Toyota has jointly developed a car product for the Chinese market with its own brands BYD and FAW China First Automobile Group.
As previously reported, the bZ3 is a compact pure electric sedan with a body size setting of 4,725 mm in length, 1,835 mm in width, 1,475 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2,880 mm. The overall shape and design are completely shaped by bZ4X, including the overall design including the head and tail light group. The two share most of the design genes. When entering the car, in addition to sharing the instrument, steering wheel, gear shape with bZ4X, bZ3 also has a very exaggerated vertical touch screen, integrating heating and cooling air conditioning switching, various entertainment systems and driving conditions and other monitoring functions.
Of course, both are bZ family cars, so bZ3 and bZ4X share in principle the exclusive chassis platform of e-TNGA modularization, which can ensure a spacious space and functionality in the car to a certain extent, as well as a more flexible and stable control experience than the so-called " oil-to-electric " model. However, what is most noteworthy is that bZ3 is a market strategic product specially designed for the Chinese market and developed for the first time with BYD and FAW. Especially the battery part, it is fully equipped with a blade battery architecture provided by BYD. Compared with the general traditional battery layout method, it is easier to cool, control and manage.
In terms of power system, bZ3 did not disclose relevant data, but emphasized that after the entry of related new battery technologies, this car has a pure electric range of more than 600 kilometers. In addition, although the official has not announced the time when the car was officially launched on the market, some media predicted that it will officially enter the production process by the end of this year, and there may be a clearer answer at that time.
