Toyota bZ3 electric sedan appears before reveal. The version for China has a combination of the bZ4X e-TNGA platform, but Chinese-made batteries and motor.

The powertrain goes in another direction from the bZ4X as well according to the aforementioned Chinese auto news outlets. The electriccomes in front- and all-wheel-drive trims, the bZ3 is a rear-driver only for the time being. The Chinese version of the bZ4X will get motivating internals from the Toyota-GAC joint venture. The bZ3 sources its internals from a subsidiary of BYD.

We don't know pack capacity yet, but range is estimated to be around 220 miles, which we expect describes the base trim that sits on 16-inch wheels instead of the upper trim on 18-inch wheels. Sitting on the same e-TNGA platform as the bZ4X with the same wheelbase, the bZ3 could also fit the Panasonic-built 71.
