The sales volume of Toyota bZ3 is almost the same as Corolla, and its price is similar to Qin PLUS EV. Which one do you choose?

The sales of this Toyota electric car are almost the same as Corolla. Yes, this Toyota bZ3 that was criticized as soon as it was launched and almost delisted sold 4,273 units in April this year, while Corolla only sold 4,320 units. It is understandable to buy Toyota gasoline cars now, because they are fuel-efficient and durable, but why buy Toyota electric cars? The price is so high, and it uses BYD batteries, and the name is so weird.

The Toyota bZ3, which is priced at RMB 169,800 and has a range of 517 km, deserves criticism. But if I tell you that this car can now be discounted by more than RMB 50,000 at the terminal and its actual price is almost the same as the BYD Qin PLUS EV with a range of 510 km, will you change your opinion of this car?

Without further ado, let me share the real market situation of bZ3 in May. The 517km range elite PRO version has a guide price of 169,800 yuan, but now the terminal can offer a discount of 52,000 yuan. The bare car is less than 118,000 yuan, and the landing price is around 123,000 yuan. The 616km long range PRO version has an actual landing price of around 143,000 yuan after the discount.

BYD Qin PLUS EV, the leading model with a range of 510km, has a guide price of 119,800 yuan, which is basically no discount. Compared with it, the entry-level version of bZ3 has much higher configuration, such as active braking, L2-level driving assistance function, sunroof, electric adjustment of the driver's seat, etc., which bZ3 has, while the leading model with a range of 510km does not have. In addition, bZ3 has 4 more airbags and 2 speakers. In terms of power, the motor power of the entry-level bZ3 is 184Ps, and the power of the high-end model is 245Ps, while the maximum power of all Qin PLUS EV models is 136Ps. It can be seen that even in the low-end model, the power performance of Toyota bZ3 is much stronger than that of the other.

Next, let's talk about the main advantages and disadvantages of the bZ3. Listen to these disadvantages and decide whether you can accept them before you decide whether to buy it! There are two main disadvantages of this car. The first problem is that the core technology of bZ3 does not come from Toyota. Instead, the three-electric system is all provided by Fudi Technology, a wholly-owned subsidiary of BYD. This makes many people who believe in Toyota technology feel incredible. It also makes bZ3 look more like a BYD with a different shell. For Toyota fans, many people cannot accept this fact. The second disadvantage is that many people buy this car to use it as an online car-hailing service, so the sense of grade is further reduced.

In addition, the advantages of this car are also obvious. Although the price is not close to the people, the actual landing price is still very attractive when combined with the terminal discount. In addition, Toyota bZ3 is a medium-sized car, with a length, width and height of 4725×1835×1480 mm and a wheelbase of 2880 mm. The sense of size and space performance are much better than compact cars of the same price. Moreover, this car has complete active and passive safety configurations. All models are equipped with active braking and L2-level driving assistance functions, and its performance in active safety configuration is relatively outstanding.

In addition, the bZ3's design is indeed more avant-garde, and many people still feel that Toyota's brand image is still stronger than domestic brands. So as long as the price comes down, many people are still optimistic about this car. So the question is, Toyota bZ3's sales volume is almost the same as Corolla, andits price is similar to Qin PLUS EV, which one would you choose?
