Toyota teases new EV; Third model under its bZ brand

There is no timeline regarding the unveil or launch of the new bZ model.

Toyota unveiled its all-new bZ3 EV in China earlier this month. The new Toyota bZ3 is a fully-electric mid-size sedan offering and sits below the bZ4X SUV in the sub-brand's product lineup.

Post the unveiling of the bZ3 electric sedan, the Japanese carmaker also released a teaser for a new model. While there are no details of the new offering, it is said to be the third bZ-branded model from Toyota.

The teaser image showcased the rear three-quarters of the new model, with a notchback-style sloping roofline. Reports suggest that the new model could carry forward a front-end design similar to that of the recently unveiled bZ3.

The new Toyota bZ EV could also carry forward the same powertrain as the bZ3. However, Toyota is yet to fully reveal the specifications of the electric motor and battery on the bZ3 itself. What is known though, is that the powertrain has been jointly developed with China's BYD car brand and offers the bZ3 a maximum range of 600 km on a single charge.

There is no timeline regarding the unveil or launch of the new bZ model. However, reports suggest the new EV could be unveiled sometime in 2023.
