the exterior design and details of toyota's compact electric suv bz3c have been leaked! the bz3c is a dedicated electric vehicle launched by toyota for the chinese market. it was first unveiled at the beijing auto show in april this year. although the detailed information of the bz3c was not disclosed at the time, it is reported that it is ready for mass production. as it is an electric vehicle dedicated to the chinese market, the bz3c was developed in cooperation with byd, china's number one electric vehicle manufacturer, and faw.

this month, china's ministry of industry and information technology released the exterior design and detailed product specifications of the mass-produced bz3c. according to the document from the ministry of industry and information technology, the body size of the bz3c is 4780 mm long, 1866 mm wide, 1510 mm high, and has a wheelbase of 2880 mm.

judging from the body size alone, it is similar to tesla model y. the curb weight is 1920kg, which is quite restrained!

the exterior design maintains most of the design of the bz3c concept released in april this year. in general, it is characterized by the style of a hatchback and is a crossover suv. when it was still a concept car, the surrounding headlight design was similar to the design style of the toyota prius, and it also used hidden door handles, so even though it is a model launched for the chinese market, it is still very toyota.

the battery of bz3c is equipped with lfp battery supplied by byd. the single-charge range is based on china's cltc and can travel 500~600 kilometers. the motor is equipped with a single motor with 268 horsepower (200kw).

there are 18-inch and 21-inch wheels available. a radar sensor on top of the front glass will also be available as an optional feature. there are no images of the bz3c interior in the china ministry of industry and information technology document, but the bz3c concept car unveiled in april this year had a public interior.

the design is also very simple, with a new flavor. in the middle is a large central control screen, below the center console is a hollow storage space, and a knob shift mechanism.

in addition, toyota will start mass production of the bz3c at a dedicated electric vehicle factory in cooperation with faw in tianjin, china, from the fourth quarter of 2024. the bz3c is the third toyota dedicated electric vehicle to be launched in the chinese market after the pure electric suv bz4x and the electric sedan bz3, playing an important role in filling the gap between the two models. the larger bz4c will be launched at the end of this year.
