The Toyota bZ3X is a 5-door SUV from Toyota, built from 2025, in the decade the industry is turning electric.
The background
The Toyota bZ3X (Chinese: 铂智3X; pinyin: Bózhì 3X; lit. 'Platinum 3X') is a battery electric compact crossover SUV produced by Toyota through its joint venture GAC Toyota in China. Forming part of the bZ series, it went on sale in China in March 2025.
The engineering
150 kW is the published figure. It weighs 1690-1760 kg. Work it out per tonne and you get about 89 horsepower — unhurried — enough for the job, not for the bragging. The layout matters: the engine drives the front wheels, the packaging choice that gives a small car a big cabin. The wheelbase is 2765 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Where it sits
Its family tree is legible: assembly was at Guangzhou (GAC Toyota), China. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Renault Boreal, the BYD Sealion 05 EV, the Chery Fulwin A9L — show what else the money bought that year. Its Toyota stablemates include the Toyota Agya and the Toyota Calya.
