Stunning design and modern features

The car has a lidar sensor for ADAS (Advanced Driver-Assistance System) on the roof. Its roofline is like a coupe, it has large 21-inch wheels and the rear light bar is also thin and horizontal, which makes it even more attractive. Talking about the inside, it has a floating touchscreen, ambient lighting, three-spoke steering wheel and premium materials.
Technical details yet to be revealed
Toyota has not yet given much information about the technical specifications of the bZ7. Along with the bZ7, the Lexus ES Electric was also a hot topic at the event. This model marks the beginning of a new generation of Lexus electric vehicles. Inspired by the LF-ZC concept, the ES BEV is designed to offer a comfortable ride, more space for the rear passengers and great in-cabin features. Electric vehicles are no longer just a small segment in China, but have become a huge market. Toyota’s new steps are an attempt to get ahead in this competition.
