Overview

At first, Toyota’s bZ4X electric SUV had us scratching our heads. Was this a nameplate left scrambled? An unsolved CAPTCHA? However, after Toyota teased a larger bZ5X SUV, and later this compact bZ3X crossover, the nomenclature makes a little more sense. As another offering in Toyota’s growing bZ (Beyond Zero) model lineup, the bZ3X exists today as a concept, but will eventually fill a C-HR-sized hole in the upcoming bevy of Toyota EVs. Powertrain details including battery size and maximum driving range are still closely guarded, but the bZ3X is an obvious entry into the subcompact crossover segment of the future. This a necessary step in Toyota and Lexus’s plan of 30 new EVs by 2030.

What's New for 2025?

It’s early yet, and Toyota is keeping hush on details about the bZ3X, but we think this almost-production-ready concept could be ready for ordering sometime in 2024.

Pricing and Which One to Buy

The price of the 2025 Toyota bZ3X is expected to start around $40,000 and go up to $45,000 depending on the trim and options.

    We’ll have to wait until Toyota spills the beans on powertrain details and equipment offerings before we can suggest a specific bZ3X, but it’s likely Toyota would give its most compact electric SUV the option of single front-motor or fully loaded dual-motor powertrains. That’s something to keep the starting price somewhat admirable as a base model, and likely a higher-horsepower and longer-range top-tier offering.
