Toyota bZ7 in Guangzhou – sleek large sedan with Huawei motor, 281 PS RWD, HarmonyOS, LiDAR

Seven months after the Toyota bZ7 first showed itself to the world at Auto Shanghai 2025, it’s still a sight for sore eyes at Auto Guangzhou 2025. Fastback profile, ‘hammerhead’ face, C-shaped full-width DRLs, end-to-end tail lamps – this sleek-looking thing is expected to launch in China this year.

At 5,130 mm long, 1,965 mm wide and 1,506 mm tall, with a wheelbase of 3,020 mm, the bZ7 is about the size of a W223 Mercedes S-Class, if you can believe it. Co-developed by Guangzhou Automobile Group (GAC) and GAC-Toyota, the bZ7 has a 281 PS Huawei DriveONE electric motor that drives the rear wheels. Top speed is 180 km/h.

According to CarNewsChina, there are 71.35- and 88.13-kWh batteries, both LFP units from China Aviation Lithium Battery (CALB). CLTC ranges, erm, range from 600-710 km.

The bZ7 is the first GAC-Toyota model to feature Huawei’s HarmonyOS cockpit and a roof LiDAR for the Momenta ADAS. The rather-generic-looking interior (that bright colour does help things, though) also features facial recognition and a head-up display. Other Toyota bZ models include the bZ4X, bZ3, bZ3X and bZ5.
