    The bZ3X is the production version of the BZ FlexSpace concept, previewed at last year’s Auto Shanghai show. It is a two-row electric SUV featuring a boxier design. The EV sports the brand's signature hammerhead-style lighting at the front, with the main headlamps positioned lower down for a unique and contemporary look. The rear is adorned with a simpler full-width light bar, adding a touch of elegance to the overall design.

    There is also a roof-mounted Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) sensor, likely incorporating lidar technology for enhanced safety and autonomous driving capabilities. 

    Inside, the focus remains on modern functionality and driver-centric design with most vehicle functions accessible through a central touchscreen interface. This touchscreen-centric approach enhances user interaction and lends the cabin a clean layout. Other notable highlights include - a slim digital instrument display, white upholstery, a large panoramic sunroof, and a dual-tier centre console.
