Toyota will launch an all-electric small sedan in China
 

And it will be affordable

Toyota will launch an all-electric small sedan in China late next year and it will be cheaper than what is on offer in the rest of the world.


Toyota has struggled for years to come up with a small EV that is both competitive on cost in China and doesn't compromise on comfort.

It turned to BYD's less bulky lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) Blade batteries and its lower-cost engineering to help out.

Little known outside China at the time, BYD, or "Build Your Dreams", hit the headlines in 2008 when Warren Buffett bought a 10 percent stake and it has since become one of the biggest manufacturers of so-called new energy vehicles in the world.

Toyota's new EV will be slightly bigger than its compact Corolla, the world's best-selling car of all time. One source said think of it as "a Corolla with bigger back-seat section".
