Toyota bZ7 Ultra

The Toyota bZ7 Ultra (full name: 710 Ultra LiDAR Edition) is the flagship trim of the Toyota bZ7, a full-size battery-electric sedan produced by GAC Toyota (the joint venture between GAC Group and Toyota).

It is part of Toyota’s “beyond Zero” (bZ) EV lineup and was developed primarily by a local Chinese team (the second such model after the bZ3X). It is based on GAC Aion’s Hyptec A800 platform. The production model debuted at Auto Shanghai 2025, entered pre-sales in early 2026, and went on sale in late March 2026. 

Key Dimensions and Design

• Length: 5,130 mm (202.0 in)
• Width: 1,965 mm (77.4 in)
• Height: 1,491 mm (Ultra trim; other trims ~1,506 mm)
• Wheelbase: 3,020 mm (118.9 in)

This places it in the full-size/executive sedan class—roughly the size of a short-wheelbase Mercedes-Benz S-Class or larger than many competitors such as the Xiaomi SU7 or BYD Han. It has a sleek fastback-inspired coupe-like profile with a continuous front light bar (“hammerhead” design language), split headlights, semi-hidden/flush door handles, a panoramic roof flowing into the rear, and a high-mounted rear light bar. Drag coefficient is reported as low as 0.23 Cd.

Powertrain and Performance

• Motor: Single rear-mounted Huawei DriveONE permanent-magnet synchronous motor
• Power: 207 kW (278–282 hp / 281 PS)
• Torque: 320 Nm
• Drivetrain: Rear-wheel drive
• Top speed: 180 km/h (112 mph)
• 0–50 km/h: ~3.8 seconds (official figure for the Ultra); 0–100 km/h figures are not officially highlighted but estimated in the mid-to-high 5-second range in some reports.

Battery and Range

• Capacity: 88.13 kWh
• CLTC range: 710 km (441 miles)
• Fast charging: 3C rate — capable of adding roughly 300 km of range in about 10 minutes
• Also supports external discharge (vehicle-to-load)

Chassis and Ride

The Ultra trim uniquely standardizes dual-chamber air suspension with SDC (intelligent variable damping) and “magic carpet” / pre-scanning intelligent suspension. It can adjust ride height and stiffness in real time by scanning the road ahead for a more refined, adaptive ride.
