Toyota Drops A Bombshell: $20,000 Electric SUV Could Shake Up The Entire Aussie EV Market!
0:00 The $20,000 Toyota question
1:48 What the Toyota bZ3X offers
3:17 The GAC Aion V connection and Chinese pricing
5:27 The cheapest electric cars in Australia
7:59 Geely, BYD and the falling price of EVs
11:36 Tesla and Suzuki alternatives
14:11 Why the Toyota bZ4X costs so much more
16:00 Why Toyota has not brought the bZ3X here
I compare a potential $20,000 Toyota electric SUV with seven electric cars you can actually buy in Australia, and the price gap is hard to ignore.
I explain what the Toyota bZ3X is, how its Chinese pricing works, how it compares with the GAC Aion V, and why Toyota has not announced it for Australia. I also break down the BYD Atto 1, Geely EX2, BYD Dolphin, MG4 Urban, Tesla Model 3, Suzuki e Vitara and Toyota bZ4X.
I finish with practical advice on pricing, home charging, resale, warranties, LFP batteries, brakes, tyres and buying nearly new. I also look at what would need to change before Toyota brings a cheaper Chinese-built electric SUV here.
