Toyota bZ3X RHD: Electric SUV starting price 229,600 HKD

The Toyota bZ3X right-hand drive (RHD) version has officially gone on sale in Hong Kong, with a starting price of 229,600 HKD (about 29,500 USD). This is the cheapest model in the Toyota portfolio in this market, cheaper than the Sienta Luxury priced at 239,460 HKD (about 30,800 USD). The product was developed by the GAC-Toyota joint venture with GAC Group and Toyota Motor Corporation, assembled at the GAC Toyota Nansha factory (Guangzhou).

The model has been on sale in China since March 2025, achieving sales of more than 46,000 units and repeatedly leading the new energy vehicle group of joint ventures. The RHD version is tuned for specific urban conditions: narrow roads, small parking spaces and the need for frequent, short trips.

Launch background and technology highlights

The fact that the bZ3X has a RHD version shows the direction of expansion into right-hand drive markets. According to CarnewsChina, after Hong Kong, the bZ3X RHD can be distributed in Japan, UK, Singapore and Australia. The electric drive configuration, 70 kWh LFP battery and convenient technologies such as V2L (reverse power supply to the outside) create a flexible platform for urban use as well as short-term excursions.

Urban design thinking

The bZ3X has overall dimensions of 4,600 x 1,850 x 1,660 mm, with a wheelbase of 2,765 mm. The body proportions show a priority for interior space and urban flexibility, while maintaining a tall SUV silhouette. With a length of 4,600 mm, the bZ3X is in the size group that is convenient for maneuvering and finding parking in the dense traffic environment of Hong Kong.

Cabin focuses on digital experience

Inside, the bZ3X focuses on digital interfaces and everyday convenience. The 14.6-inch central screen combines with an 8.88-inch digital clock cluster to create a modern display axis on the dashboard. The system supports wireless Apple CarPlay and English voice control to serve the connection habits of urban users.

Entertainment equipment includes an 11-speaker Yamaha sound system. The front seats are electrically adjustable, heated and cooled, while the rear seats recline from 117 to 137 degrees, increasing comfort when moving continuously in the city. The centralized control cluster organization makes operation more intuitive in the typical stop-go situations in Hong Kong.

Powertrain and performance

The bZ3X uses a 150 kW permanent magnet synchronous motor, powered by a 70 kWh LFP battery. At this power level, the electric SUV aims to meet the needs of acceleration and stable road holding in the short urban-highway speed range, while exploiting the advantages of durability and thermal stability of LFP chemistry.

The claimed range is 565 km on the NEDC cycle; CLTC is around 500–520 km. The car supports 6.6 kW AC charging for overnight needs at home or in a parking lot and 90 kW DC fast charging, suitable for popular fast charging points today. The V2L feature allows for reverse power supply, useful for camping equipment or situations requiring temporary power.

Safety and driving assistance

Advanced driver assistance features (ADAS) and safety ratings for the Hong Kong version have not been announced in detail. Information on active intervention systems such as adaptive cruise control or lane keeping assist will vary by market and delivery time.

Price, market and possibility of coming to Vietnam

In Hong Kong, the bZ3X starts at HK$229,600, the lowest in the Toyota lineup and below the Sienta Luxury (HKD239,460). According to CarnewsChina, after Hong Kong, the RHD model could be brought to Japan, the UK, Singapore and Australia, reflecting the international expansion of electric vehicle platforms developed in China.

It is not yet clear whether the bZ3X will be distributed in Vietnam or not. In the Vietnamese market, GAC has been present since 2024 with MPV models such as the M6, M8, M8 Pro, but the high selling price has limited its appeal. Toyota Vietnam is focusing on expanding its range of internal combustion and hybrid products such as the Corolla HEV, Yaris Cross HEV, Camry HEV; in the near future, it is expected to bring the Innova HEV to replace the gasoline version that is temporarily discontinued.

Conclude

The bZ3X RHD is Toyota's strategic move into right-hand drive markets: a 70 kWh LFP battery, a 150 kW motor, a claimed range of 565 km (NEDC) and a digital-first cockpit. A starting price of HK$229,600 makes this electric SUV the most economical option in Toyota's Hong Kong portfolio.

Pros: Approachable price in Toyota's Hong Kong portfolio; 70 kWh LFP battery; V2L; connectivity-focused interior with 14.6-inch display, wireless CarPlay; heated and cooled front seats, 117–137-degree reclining rear seats; suitable size for urban conditions.
Points to clarify: ADAS package and safety rating for Hong Kong version not yet announced; distribution in Vietnam not yet confirmed; detailed performance indicators (charging time by percentage, acceleration, consumption optimization) not yet stated.
