The Toyota bZ7 EV has been revealed to feature electric drive motors from Huawei, according to details posted to X by Tycho de Feijter.
A document filing with the Chinese ministry of industry and information technology (MIIT) has revealed the exterior dimensions of the bZ7, which list the EV as being 5,130 mm long, 1,965 mm wide and 1,506 mm tall, with a wheelbase of 3,020 mm. In the size stakes among Chinese EVs, this is comparable to the BYD Han L, which measures 5,050 mm long, 1,960 mm wide, 1,505 mm tall with a 2,970 mm wheelbase.
Co-developed by Guangzhou Automobile Group and GAC-Toyota, the bZ7 is reported to feature a Huawei-developed motor that outputs 207 kW (282 PS), which will propel the fastback EV to a claimed top speed of 190 km/h. Details on the Toyota bZ7 powertrain are still thin at the moment, though on this count the BYD Han L occupies a different segment altogether, with up to 1,102 PS from a dual-motor setup.
In addition to its drive motor, there is more Huawei content in the bZ7; this sees the inclusion of the Huawei Harmony operating system for its infotainment, and the top variant is said to feature Huawei-sourced ADAS equipment, including a roof-mounted lidar unit.
From prior details, the bZ7 has been revealed to feature a fairly minimalist cabin, with a large infotainment screen and a slim display for the driver’s instrumentation as is commonplace among Chinese carmakers today, along with a head-up display.
The floating centre console accommodates wireless smartphone charging just aft of the dashboard, with room for storage beneath. Ambient lighting features in the dashboard and door cards of the bZ7, and in the example displayed at Auto Shanghai 2025, the bZ7 cabin also appears to feature open-pore wood trim.
According to the X post, the Toyota bZ7 EV is set for market launch in China in the fourth quarter of this year. This will join the bZ3, bZ3X and bZ5, in addition to the bZ4X that is the sole offering from the range available outside China.

AI Overview :
“Mercedes-Benz is experiencing significant 4S dealership closures in China due to intense competition from local electric vehicle brands”
Mercedes quality has consistently went down after involvement of China shareholders. Remember all the videos of customers complaining here in Malaysia?
geely owned only 10% minority stake in mercedes then you blame ccp for degrading quality? same logic as how somone who wears Anta brand shoes owned by ccp trips and falls because of his own clumsiness then blames the shoemaker .
Geely doesn’t even own 10%. It owns less than that. It also doesn’t have management decision making ability in Mercedes. So I don’t see how Geely can affect Mercedes quality. Mercedes quality is suffering because its own management wants to move it from premium luxury to mass EV company
Since China taking up stakes, there has been a number of systems adopted by Mercedes.
Not really true lah,
Because Many Models also sold globally.
Example Mini Electric Aceman-Ora VWM, Mazda Changan EZ60….
the Mini electric is not directly based on Ora, but rather the two brands are involved in a joint venture where the electric Mini (J01) uses an electric skateboard platform from Great Wall Motors’s Spotlight Automotive, a partnership with BMW. This platform is also used in the Ora Funky Cat, but the Mini electric is not a rebadged Ora.
