The 2024 Toyota BZ3 is the result of a collaborative effort involving Toyota, BYD Auto, and FAW Toyota, facilitated by the BYD Toyota EV Technology (BTET) joint venture. This compact battery electric sedan represents the amalgamation of innovation and expertise from these automotive leaders. Continuing in the footsteps of the Toyota bZ4X, the bZ3 upholds this shared legacy
Exterior
The vehicle showcases the hammerhead shark-influenced design language from Toyota’s bZ series, featuring a relaxed silhouette that melds the extended wheelbase typical of BEVs with the sleek, fastback-like cabin. The exterior exudes a sense of strength and stability, with its thoughtfully crafted profile conveying a seamless impression of motion. This attention to aerodynamics is evident through the bumper’s corner air guides and curtains, as well as the flat door handles, aluminum wheels, and aerodynamically shaped rear bumper, contributing to a remarkable Cd value of 0.218. Furthermore, the vehicle’s dimensions include a length of 4,725 mm, width of 1,835 mm, height of 1,475 mm, and a wheelbase of 2,880 mm.
