In China, FAW Toyota has officially opened sales of the bZ3 in a new Smart Home spec—the brand’s first take on an intelligent, family-focused electric four-door in this format. The range spans four trims—JOY, PRO, PRO+, and MAX—priced from 109,800 to 159,800 yuan, with temporary revised prices for the two entry models set at 93,800 and 103,800 yuan.

Design-wise, the bZ3 keeps its familiar silhouette but adds a new body color. The big changes are digital: a 12.8-inch portrait display and the Momenta 5.0 suite. The car integrates 32 perception components—radars, ultrasonic sensors, and a set of cameras—while the top-spec version further adds a laser lidar. That enables broader driver-assistance functions, including parking memory scenarios. In essence, the update leans more on sensors and software than sheet metal.

Under the skin, there is a single electric motor in two outputs—135 or 180 kW—paired with 303 Nm of torque. Battery options are 49.92 or 65.28 kWh, and the claimed range on a single charge is 517 or 616 km under the Chinese test cycle.

The message behind the launch is straightforward: Toyota aims to blend attainable pricing with a stronger dose of intelligence in its electric sedan—an answer to a market where local brands have long competed on advanced assistance tech.
