The Toyota brand has its own bZ electric vehicle line. The role of its firstborn was performed by the bZ4X crossover, and now two more models have appeared - bZ3C and bZ3X.
The company said that the coupe-like bZ3C was the result of joint work between Toyota and China's BYD and FAW. It is assumed that such a model will primarily attract the attention of young people. The exterior of the novelty is almost no different from the concept: in the production version, the pattern of the main optics is slightly different, the retractable door handles have become more noticeable, and the exterior mirrors have increased in size.
There are more changes in the cabin: Toyota bZ3C was provided with a regular steering wheel (instead of the steering wheel in the concept), as well as a large rectangular screen of the infotainment system, which replaced the unusual curved display of the show car. The two-story central tunnel with a niche for charging smartphones and glass holders is also designed differently.
The company has kept the details of the technology of this "electric train" a secret for now. Earlier it was reported that the serial novelty will appear on the Chinese market this year. Production of the bZ3C will be established at the FAW Toyota Motor joint venture.
The second presented serial crossover of the brand – Toyota bZ3X – has more differences from the bZ FlexSpace concept. It has a different stamping on the hood, all the roof racks and the top are decorated in black, the side mirrors have become larger, and the retractable handles are designed differently. Even the serial version has two-story main optics.
The air intake built into the lower part of the front bumper is also newly designed. The overlays on the wheel arches are made of unpainted plastic. The rear lights are also drawn differently: they extend far into the rear wings and are connected to each other by means of a light strip. The usual steering wheel, a rectangular multimedia screen, a central tunnel with glass holders and a platform for wireless charging of smartphones also appeared in the cabin.
There is no information about the equipment yet either. It is known that the bZ3X crossover was jointly developed by Toyota, Guangzhou Automobile Group and GAC Toyota Motor. Production of the serial SUV should also start this year.
