Debuted in 2000, the Toyota bB is built on the same base as the Toyota Vitz and Funcargo, with front-wheel drive and a 1.3 or 1.5 liter engine. The name of this model comes from the English phrase “black box”. The new product entered the market in February 2000. The target audience was young Japanese about 20 years old, who needed a roomy and stylish car. However, the spacious and comfortable bB interior will appeal to even older people. Highly appreciated by the car and women. So the circle of interest in the model turned out to be much wider, and the initial order was about 32,500 copies, which was 6.5 times higher than planned.
 When bB was painted, dark shades were often used - in this case it resembles a “night wanderer”, corresponding to the style of nightlife lovers. In contrast, very bright body colors were suggested, reflecting the richness of everyday life. The bold design of the rounded instruments of the main panel recalls the measuring sensors of diving equipment, which will appeal to sports fans. Inside, Toyota bB has many shelves, niches, and other convenient compartments. The rear seat has a slide for longitudinal adjustment (150 mm), a backrest, divided in a proportion of 60:40, and a double folding structure (2WD). Modification bB X has a “volitional” style grille and aerodynamic body kit, which cannot but attract young drivers. Many other special configurations were offered, the most expensive and full-featured version is the “Z X version” series cars, which are especially effective in the unusual “maziora” body color, which changes depending on the incident light from violet to emerald. Two engine options were offered for the Toyota bB 2000-2003. The 2NZ-FE petrol engine with a displacement of 1.3 liters has a maximum power of 88 hp. and placed exclusively on front-wheel drive models. His own "brother" 1NZ-FE has a volume of 1.5 liters and produces a maximum of 110 "horses" in front-wheel drive and 105 hp. in the presence of 4WD. Engines actually differ only in displacement and piston stroke, while due to the presence of an aluminum cylinder block and other design features, both motors do not belong to the category of “long-livers” to reduce overall dimensions. Equipped with an automatic 4-band gearbox. On one liter of gasoline, depending on the modification, the Toyota bB can travel from 14 to 16.2 km, which is 6.17-7.14 l / 100 km in the usual expression.

 Toyota bB has an independent front suspension (McPherson strut suspension strut). Rear - semi-dependent torsion or dependent (axle on trailing arms) for all-wheel drive vehicles. Front ventilated disc brakes, rear drum brakes. Body dimensions: length 3845, width 1690, height 1645 mm. Wheelbase 2.5 m. Minimum turning radius 5.5 m. Interior dimensions: 1955 x 1375 x 1355 mm (L x W x H). Trunk volume is 600 liters, the maximum volume is 1230 liters.

 The list of Toyota bB 2000-2003 safety systems includes two airbags (driver and front passenger), three-point belts (with pretensioners and stops on the front seats), child seat mounts, side stiffeners, anti-lock brakes with electronic brake force distribution and an auxiliary system braking.  Toyota bB has a fairly reliable, albeit stiffer suspension. Practicality, spaciousness, a transformable interior are the main advantages. Good car and in terms of safety. Design is for everybody. Like Vitz, this model is distinguished by low-cost maintenance, the availability of spare parts. As for engines, it will be preferable to 1NZ-FE with an increased power reserve, and only this option makes it possible to purchase an all-wheel drive car. Engines are sensitive to the slightest overheating, often increased oil consumption. It is worth considering the low clearance, decent overhangs.
In 2001, the Toyota bB modification range was replenished with an open luggage model - Open Deck. This unique car, which is a very flexible “transformer,” is positioned as a bB-based pickup truck, and was first shown at the Tokyo Motor Show in the fall of 1999, before the base model went on sale. In the domestic market, bB OD was offered in a single modification with front-wheel drive, a 1.5-liter engine and an automatic transmission. Despite its small size, bB Open Deck is a real pickup and hard worker. To meet the tasks assigned to it, "OD" has a number of features. This, for example, double-wing swing doors on the left side, opening a huge opening. There is also a back door - where the usual pickup truck has a partition. Moreover, it is also in the two-wing version, with the glass rising up and the lower sash, which leans back to the same level with the folded back row bench. In addition, the front passenger seat can be folded forward. And then even a very bulky cargo will enter the bB Open Deck with the open side of the cargo platform. The rest of the pickup is no different from the usual “bB”, except that the inside is a bit cramped - the interior is shorter.

 As already mentioned, only one engine option was offered for the Toyota bB Open Deck. This is a 1NZ-FE gasoline engine with a working volume of 1.5 liters, which gives a maximum power of 110 liters. with. The presence of an aluminum cylinder block and other design features to reduce overall dimensions does not make the engine a "long-lived". It works in tandem with an automatic 4-band gearbox. The specific power index is slightly better than that of the base model (9.27 kg per horsepower versus 9.45 kg), due to its lower weight - a pickup is about 20 kg lighter than a simple bB. On one liter of gasoline, it can travel up to 15 km, which roughly corresponds to the consumption of 6.7 l / 100 km in the usual expression.

 The front suspension of the Toyota bB OD is independent (suspension strut type MacPherson strut). Back - semi-dependent torsion bar. Front ventilated disc brakes, rear drum brakes. Body dimensions: length 3895, width 1690, height 1670 mm. Wheelbase 2.5 m. Minimum turning radius 5.5 m. Interior dimensions: 1735 x 1375 x 1355 mm (L x W x H).

 The list of Toyota bB Open Deck safety systems includes two airbags (driver and front passenger), three-point belts (with pretensioners and stops on the front seats), child seat mounts, side stiffeners, anti-lock brakes with electronic brake force distribution and auxiliary braking system . Toyota bB Open Deck provides unique transportation capabilities that are completely unusual for cars of this class. The layout features are largely related to it with "adult" two-cab pickups. At the same time, bB "ODi" has a very compact size and in urban conditions feels "like a fish in water." It is alleged that it has a fairly rigid body structure and softer suspension than bB. Good car and in terms of safety. The model features low-cost maintenance, the availability of spare parts. However, the engine is sensitive to the slightest overheating, often there is an increased oil consumption. It is worth considering the low clearance, decent overhangs.
