Toyota's bz3 is the firm's answer to the Tesla Model 3 ⚡ The similarly-sized saloon packs 372 miles of range - but it's China-only for now...

Based on Toyota’s e-TNGA platform, the bZ3 is said to have “responsive performance, with a low centre of gravity and excellent handling stability”.Tesla Model 3Toyota says the bZ3 provides an ultra-low drag coefficient value of 0.218Cd, with air guides and air curtains found across the saloon’s exterior.

It also benefits from flat door handles, a wind-resistent rear bumper and aluminium wheels, which make it one of the most aerodynamic cars in its class – more so than the Model 3, which has a value of 0.23Cd. Under the skin sits a bespoke lithium-ion lithium-iron-phosphate battery, built by BYD, which has been developed to retain 90% of its charge capacity after a 10-year period.

While Toyota hasn’t revealed specific powertrain details such as performance and charging rates, it claims the bZ3 has a range of around 372 miles. The interior of the car has been designed with Toyota’s “family lounge” concept in mind, where cars are seen more as a family space than just transportation.
