A new Toyota electric saloon, the bZ3, will come to Europe to rival the Tesla Model 3 ⚡

The Seal is interesting because a new partnership between Toyota and BYD is set to result in the bZ3 using the Chinese firm’s innovativetechnology, which is said to be a much safer and more energy-dense alternative to the conventional lithium ion items powering its rivals.

Also, UK law will mandate that all car makers have a zero-emissions line-up by 2035, and the bZ3 – at 4725mm long, 1835mm wide and 1475mm tall – seems well placed to take the role of the big-selling , an electric successor for which wasn’t previewed in Toyota’s 15-strong EV concept showcase last year.Specifications published on China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology website reveal that the bZ3 will be available with either 178bhp or 238bhp, weigh 1710-1840kg at the kerb and have a top speed of 99mph – figures that stack it up neatly against its direct rivals. covers 261 miles using a 64.

Toyota has yet to reveal production locations for its upcoming EVs. The bZ4X is built at the firm’s Motomachi factory in Japan and by two other Chinese partners, FAW and GAC, in Tianjin and Guangzhou respectively. Investment into other global sites to ready them for the EV era will be necessary, but it remains to be seen whether the Corolla factory in Burnaston, Derbyshire, will be adapted to build E-TNGA-based cars.
