Toyota BZ3 Is A Chinese-Market Tesla Model 3 Rival With A 373-Mile Range | Carscoops carscoops
. But sadly for Toyota fans in the rest of the world it looks like it won’t be leaving China.
A low-rise brother to the bZ4X, the bZ3 was co-developed with China’s BYD and will be sold through the FAW Toyota network. The angular styling bears a strong family resemblance to the bZ4X’s, and both cars rely on Toyota’s e-TNGA architecture. But the the sedan is fitted with BYD’s slimline lithium-ion batteries allowing a much lower roofline.
Dimensionally, the bZ3 comes up predictably close to its Tesla rival, but is fractionally larger in every metric. It measures 186-in from bumper to bumper, stands 58-in tall and rides on a 113.4-in wheelbase. And while the 0.218 Cd factor doesn’t set any world records, it’s still impressively slippery, and surely contributes to that 373-mile range capability. The bZ4X SUV is far less slippery, at Cd 0.29.The two bZs are also separated by their approach to interior design.
