GAC-Toyota today officially unveiled the bZ7, a new mid-to-large-sized pure electric sedan, at the 2025 Auto Guangzhou. Following the bZ3X, the bZ7 marks the second model primarily developed by Toyota China’s engineering team, signifying GAC Toyota’s strategic push into the new energy vehicle market with a focus on intelligent features tailored for the Chinese market. The bZ7 is notably the first GAC Toyota model to feature Huawei’s HarmonyOS cockpit and be equipped with a LiDAR for advanced driver-assistance systems.
The bZ7 adopts the unified family design language seen in the bZ3X. The vehicle features a split-headlight design, with the main headlights integrated with the air ducts on both sides. The exaggerated front bumper design aims to reduce the drag coefficient. A LiDAR unit is mounted on the roof.
From the side, the bZ7’s extended profile is accentuated by a three-dimensional waistline. It introduces new semi-hidden door handles and large wheels. The dimensions of the bZ7 are 5130mm in length, 1965mm in width, and 1506mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3020mm.
The rear of the vehicle showcases a dynamic coupe-like design, with the panoramic roof extending into the rear window and down to the tail. This design also allows for a large rear quarter window. The rear features a through-type taillight design, complemented by a dynamic spoiler above the taillights and air ducts on both sides of the rear bumper.
Inside, a large central control screen dominates the dashboard, integrating the Huawei HarmonyOS cockpit for the first time in a GAC-Toyota vehicle. The bZ7 also comes equipped with facial recognition, a head-up display, and multiple speakers throughout the cabin.
In terms of assisted driving, the bZ7 will feature Momenta’s advanced driver-assistance system, utilising an integrated, end-to-end large model that supports high-level assisted driving on both urban roads and highways.
Under the hood, the bZ7 is powered by Huawei’s DriveONE electric drive system, delivering a maximum power output of 207 kW (278 hp). It utilises CALB’s lithium-iron phosphate batteries, enabling a top speed of 180 km/h. According to regulatory filings, the GAC Toyota bZ7 will offer two battery pack options: 88.13 kWh and 71.35 kWh. The 88.13 kWh battery pack provides CLTC range options of 680 kilometres, 700 kilometres, and 710 kilometres, while the 71.35 kWh battery pack offers a pure electric range of 600 kilometres. The bZ7 is expected to hit the market this year.
