But can this be considered a price war?
Automakers in China have a practice of inflating the cost of pre-order cars: it turns out that when it comes time for direct retail sales, cars unexpectedly become cheaper. This happened with the newest Toyota bZ3 electric sedan: it was “sold” by pre-order for 27.5 thousand dollars, and now the price has dropped to 24.5 thousand dollars. Moreover, some dealers have been more generous and offer to become the owner of the car for only 22.5 thousand dollars (that is, a discount of 5 thousand dollars).

The Toyota bZ3 is the Japanese company’s first all-electric sedan. In China, it is presented in three versions: Elite Pro with a 183.5 hp power plant. and a traction battery with a capacity of only 50 kWh, as well as Long Range Pro and Long Range Premium with a 245 hp power plant. and a traction battery with a capacity of 65 kWh. Power reserve – from 517 to 616 km (according to the CLTC methodology).
The dimensions of the Toyota bZ3 are 4725 x 1835 x 1475 mm, the wheelbase is 2880 mm (the interior space should be no worse than that of the Camry). The top version accelerates to 100 km/h in 7.5 seconds.
The interior here looks interesting – with a digital instrument panel related to glass and a vertically installed “tablet” of the media system.
