Toyota Will Launch $28k BZ3 EV Sedan In China this Year, Report Says | Carscoops carscoops
But before you get too excited, here’s the snag: the small four-door EV, which is due to enter production before the end of the year, is a China-only product, at least initially.and only the second vehicle from Toyota’s “beyond-zero” EV program is the result of a tie-up with Chinese automaker BYD who will supply its Blade lithium batteries that are reported to be up to 4 inches slimmer than conventional battery packs and make fitting them into a conventional sedan shape car possible.
Though Toyota has yet to officially acknowledge the project, let alone put a sticker price on the finished product, one of sources suggested it would sell for roughly ¥200,000, which equates to just $28,000. Tesla’s Chinese retail website says the cheapest Model 3 available in the country currently cost ¥279,000 .
due to the Covid pandemic. And those same sources told reporters that while the bZ3 would be approximately the same size as a Toyota Corolla on the outside, it would offer extra rear seat space.by more than $10k would be a smash hit, but that figure doesn’t take account of the tax credits available to Tesla buyers which wouldn’t be available to buyers of the bZ3 because it is made outside North America. Would you like to see Toyota take on Tesla with a bZ3 in the U.
Late last year, Toyota and Lexus showed off a ton of future EV concepts, though it’s not clear if any of these are destined for the Chinese market
