New electric SUV, revealed alongside fastback, is being considered for European markets
Toyota has unveiled a new electric SUV, dubbed the bZ3X, at the Beijing motor show. A blocky five-seater developed in collaboration with Toyota’s Chinese joint-venture partner, GAC, it is said to prioritise interior space and comfort. Its minimalist interior relegates most controls to a large infotainment touchscreen, in keeping with the Chinese market’s appetite for uncluttered interiors and digital functionality.
Toyota’s other electric cars – the bZ4X and the Chinese-market bZ3 saloon, which uses batteries supplied by BYD – are both based on the e-TNGA platform, suggesting it is most likely the platform underpinning the bZ3X. This has not been confirmed, however. The bZ3X was unveiled at Beijing alongside the bZ3C, a fastback version of the saloon of the same name. It is expected to use the same BYD-sourced lithium-iron-phosphate battery pack as the saloon, which yields a range of around 372 miles.
