at the 2024 beijing auto show held in late april, toyota, together with faw toyota and gac toyota, officially unveiled the bz3c and bz3x concept cars at the auto show. the manufacturer also stated that both models will be mass-produced within a year, but the motor specifications and range performance of the concept models are unknown; and in the recent database of the ministry of industry and information technology, faw toyota also officially sent the bz3c for inspection, which also means that the new car is getting closer to the market. the preliminary specifications of the mass-produced version of the bz3c are also known from the ministry of industry and information technology, including a power output of 200kw (about 268 horsepower), and the length of the car exceeds 4.7 meters and reaches nearly 4.8 meters.

the mass-produced version of bz3c appears for the first time

the bz3c concept car unveiled at the 2024 beijing auto show was jointly developed by toyota, byd toyota ev technology co., ltd., faw toyota motor co., ltd., and toyota (china) co., ltd.'s intelligent electric vehicle r&d center (iem by toyota). it focuses on the pure electric hatchback market. the manufacturer emphasized that bz3c was designed around the concept of "restart" and focuses on creating an interesting personal driving space for young generation z customers. it will be equipped with the latest generation of toyota's autonomous driving assistance system and smart cockpit design. as time goes by, the mass-produced version of bz3c also appeared for the first time in the ministry of industry and information technology's database.

from the information from the ministry of industry and information technology, we can see that the mass-produced version of bz3c continues the design elements of the concept car. its overall contour shape and details are even somewhat similar to the prius series, especially in the front part, which uses slender, sharp, through-type lights to present a dynamic and simple appearance; as for the shape of the rear of the car, it is obviously different from the prius. the taillight shape echoes the headlights, and the visual presentation is also quite three-dimensional. at the same time, the wheels underfoot are available in two different styles: 18 inches and 21 inches.

data from the ministry of industry and information technology revealed the dimensions of the bz3c, which measures 4,780mm in length, width and height, and has a wheelbase of 2,880mm. the dimensions are significantly larger than the prius and closer to the size of the bz3. the models tested have different configurations, with vehicle weights of 1,920kg, 1,950kg, 2,010kg and 2,020kg.

focusing on the electrical specifications and power, it is a pity that the information such as battery capacity and cruising range are not shown in the data, but it is speculated that the cltc range should be about 500 kilometers to 600 kilometers. at the same time, according to the information from the ministry of industry and information technology, both the lfp lithium iron phosphate battery and the electric motor system are produced by byd's fudi power company, and the power data of 200kw (about 268 horsepower) is also better than the bz3's maximum 180kw (about 241 horsepower). the top speed is also limited to 160 kilometers per hour. the bz3c is also expected to be produced at faw toyota's tianjin plant at the end of the year.
