The FAW-Toyota bZ5, an all-electric SUV, is officially set to launch on June 10th, following its recent rollout from the production line in Tianjin. This new model, built on the e-TNGA platform, is poised to enter the market with competitive pricing and a focus on advanced technology and range.
The bZ5 will be offered with two range options: a 550 km CLTC range version, with pre-sale prices expected to be under 130,000 yuan (18,000 USD), and an L2 advanced driving assistance trim also with a 550 km range, priced under 160,000 yuan (22,200 USD). A 630 km CLTC range option is also available.
A key highlight of the bZ5 is its power source: BYD Blade batteries. The vehicle is driven by a 200 kW (268 hp) front electric motor provided by BYD’s subsidiary FinDreams.
In terms of design, the bZ5 sports a distinctive “hammerhead shark” front face and a sleek, fastback profile with hidden door handles. It measures 4780mm in length, 1866mm in width, and 1510mm in height, with a 2880mm wheelbase. LED lights and 21-inch alloy wheels further enhance the exterior.
The interior boasts a minimalist design centred around a 15.6-inch floating central control screen and LCD instruments. Comfort features include a 1.44-square-meter panoramic sunroof, 256-colour ambient lighting, and four “nap modes.” Nine airbags ensure safety.
