# Toyota’s hot $15,000 EV in China costs nearly $50K in this overseas market

> Toyota's bZ3X, its most affordable EV priced at $15,000 in China, is launching in new markets at nearly $50,000. This electric SUV, aimed at younger families, became the best-selling foreign-owned EV in China last month, with 4,344 units sold, surpassing competitors like the Volkswagen ID.3 and Nissan N7.

Toyota’s most affordable EV, which starts at about $15,000 in China, may not be so cheap overseas. The Toyota bZ3X is launching in new markets at a price nearly three times the cost, starting at almost $50,000.

## Toyota’s $15,000 EV is launching overseas

GAC Toyota, Toyota’s joint venture, launched the bZ3X in China this March, a new electric SUV aimed at younger families.

The bZ3X is Toyota’s “first 100,000 yuan-level pure electric SUV.” With prices starting at just 109,800 yuan ($15,000), the budget EV quickly became a hit in China.

Toyota’s electric SUV was the best-selling foreign-owned EV in China last month. With 4,344 models sold, the bZ3X outsold the Volkswagen ID.3 (4,217), Nissan N7 (3,034), BMW i3 (2,605), and VW ID.4 Crozz.
