Whyyyy would you name them that?
Because they don’t actually want to sell any, but they’d like to stop all the bad press that Toyota is actively lobbying governments against EVs adoption to prop up their very profitable ICE engine cars.
There’s another reason, which goes back to the early days of Japanese consumer products being exported.
It’s simple, they make up a model name which looks like a code but if you say it in English it sounds like a word. The word is usually sales orientated, so attaches meaning in a relevant or attractive way.
So this EV is called the Breezy Sea - BZ3.
My camera is made by Fujifilm and it’s called the X-E1 - Sexy One.
This Sounds so stupid, it may BE the truth… thanks for the insight
BZ = breezy
X = sex
BZ3X = breezy sex
BZ3X = breezy sex
Breezy three sex
They have an existing model (BZ3) and they just put X and C on the end. They did the same thing with the Prius derivatives a few years back.
Everybody replying to give me logical thought out answers is not addressing the real problem of why would Toyota name their cars such an awful, forgettable key-mash of a name.
Toyota doesn’t typically name things with random hard consonants and numbers. But Subaru does, and they’re a partner in Toyota’s EV program.
Keysmash names ftw
I have a monitor named that!
Smart. Naming it the same as the SKU code.
So the bz3c is a Model Y and the bz3c is a… big chungus that’s totally not a minivan, look Karen, it’s tall and aggressive
Lol it’s a minivan with the freedom to let your kids ding the doors of whoever is parked next to you
And a smaller cargo area that you can’t fit a sheet of plywood in!
Is this the onion? Really? Bisex? That’s a name I never thought I’d see on a product from a international company.
