Looking for a family EV that feels more like a living room than a car? The new Toyota bZ3X might be just what you need. Just launched in China, this electric SUV is all about everyday comfort, smart features and space inside.
Global and India Launch Plans
Right now, the Toyota bZ3X is sold only in China. It’s built there through Toyota’s joint venture with GAC.
As for other countries, Toyota is evaluating a European launch but nothing is confirmed yet. An India launch is out of the question. Instead Toyota is working on a separate EV for the Indian market based on the Urban SUV concept which will be launched later in 2025.
Design and Cabin Feel
The bZ3X looks sleek and aerodynamic with sharp LEDs, floating roof and hidden door handles. But the real magic happens inside, Toyota calls it a “cozy home” on wheels. The rear seat legroom is so generous a child can stand up. Front and rear seats can even fully recline to make a bed-like space for a short nap or long trip breaks.
Features That Matter
There’s a big 14.6-inch central touchscreen, wireless phone charging, panoramic roof and over 30 storage areas to stash your daily stuff. The digital cockpit is clean and clutter-free and even the voice assistant supports commands from all four corners of the cabin.
Highlights:
- 11-speaker Yamaha audio
- Vegan leather and soft-touch materials
- Qualcomm 8155 chip for infotainment
- Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
Power and Battery
It shares its underpinnings with the Aion V and offers a mix of motor and battery options. The highest-spec model claims up to 610 km range (CLTC) and supports quick charging up to 80% in under 30 minutes.
