Toyota bZ3. 2022 to date (prod. n/a). 4-door sedan. F/F, 49·92, 65·28 kWh electric. Slippery (C_d 0,23) C-segment fastback co-developed by Toyota, BYD and FAW on e-TGNA platform. Lithium iron phosphate batteries, with optimistic claimed CLTC ranges of 517 and 616 km. Attractive styling, masking its height (1,475 mm). High seating position, though not as perched as in a crossover. Reasonably well equipped, with soft-touch materials inside, including quartic steering wheel and “floating” centre console, and plenty of active safety features. Unusually, indicator controls were located on the steering wheel itself. Smooth ride.
