Meet the 2026 Toyota bZ Woodland
Toyota is turning up the voltage on adventure with the debut of the 2026 Toyota bZ Woodland, a bold new entry in its growing all-electric lineup. Designed for drivers who want zero-emissions capability without sacrificing power, space, or rugged styling, the bZ Woodland blends serious performance with real-world SUV utility. It’s expected to arrive in U.S. dealerships in March 2026 with a starting MSRP of $45,300 (excluding dealer fees), positioning it as a compelling option in the midsize electric SUV segment.
Powerful Performance with Trail-Ready Confidence
At the heart of the bZ Woodland is a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system producing an impressive 375 horsepower in net combined output, making it the most powerful bZ model yet. Toyota estimates a brisk 0–60 mph time of just 4.4 seconds, underscoring that this SUV is as quick as it is capable. Standard AWD with X-MODE® enhances traction and stability across challenging terrain, while Grip Control helps modulate power delivery at low speeds to maintain steady progress in snow, mud, or on uneven surfaces. With 8.4 inches of ground clearance and up to 3,500 pounds of towing capacity, the Woodland lives up to its name, offering legitimate adventure credentials alongside its all-electric powertrain.
Impressive Range and Easy Charging
Range and charging capability are essential for any EV, and the bZ Woodland delivers practical numbers for both everyday driving and longer road trips. It offers up to 281 miles of EPA-estimated driving range, or 260 miles when equipped with available all-terrain tires. Its 74.7-kWh lithium-ion battery supports DC fast charging from 10% to 80% in around 30 minutes under ideal conditions.
One of its standout features is the inclusion of a North American Charging System (NACS) port, giving drivers access to thousands of DC fast-charging stations across the U.S. Battery pre-conditioning helps optimize charging speeds by bringing the battery to an ideal temperature, and Plug & Charge capability streamlines authentication at compatible networks. An 11-kW onboard charger and a standard dual-voltage 120V/240V home charging cable further enhance flexibility for at-home charging. Steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters allow drivers to adjust regenerative braking strength, capturing energy during deceleration and feeding it back into the battery.
Rugged Design with Extra Utility
Visually, the bZ Woodland distinguishes itself from its bZ sibling with a tougher, more adventurous design. Black overfenders add a rugged touch to Toyota’s signature hammerhead front-end styling, while nearly six inches of added length and a slight increase in rear height give the vehicle a more substantial presence. That additional length translates directly into greater cargo capacity—74.3 cubic feet with the rear seats folded flat, compared to 67.1 cubic feet in the standard bZ model.
Standard roof rails further enhance its utility, making it easy to mount bike racks, cargo boxes, or other adventure gear. Riding on 18-inch aluminum wheels with aero covers and offering available all-terrain tires, the Woodland strikes a balance between modern EV design and trail-ready toughness.
A Spacious, Tech-Forward Interior
Inside, the bZ Woodland combines spaciousness with a tech-forward atmosphere, thanks to Toyota’s dedicated e-TNGA battery-electric platform. Passengers benefit from generous legroom and side-to-side space, while the standard 14-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen anchors the cabin with intuitive connectivity.
SofTex®-trimmed seating comes standard, along with heated front seats and heated outboard rear seats, a heated steering wheel, dual-zone automatic climate control, dual wireless Qi chargers, multiple USB-C ports, customizable ambient lighting, and Digital Key capability. The overall effect is a cabin that feels both practical and premium, equally suited to daily commuting or weekend escapes.
Two Well-Equipped Grades
Buyers can choose between two well-equipped grades: the bZ Woodland AWD and the bZ Woodland Premium AWD. The base Woodland model already includes the full 375-horsepower AWD setup, 281-mile estimated range, X-MODE® with Grip Control, roof rails, power-adjustable front seats, and extensive comfort features.
Stepping up to the Premium grade adds a JBL® 9-speaker audio system with subwoofer, ventilated front seats, radiant foot and leg heaters for the front seats, driver’s seat and mirror memory settings, a digital rearview mirror with HomeLink, and a fixed panoramic glass roof with a power sunshade. Both trims offer the available all-terrain tire option for drivers who want even more off-the-beaten-path confidence.
A Strong Step in Toyota’s Electrified Future
With the introduction of the bZ Woodland, Toyota continues to expand its electrified portfolio, which now spans 21 electrified models across battery-electric, hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and fuel cell powertrains. The Woodland represents a clear statement of intent: electric SUVs can be powerful, practical, and genuinely adventure-ready.
For drivers seeking an EV that feels less like a compromise and more like a true utility vehicle, the 2026 Toyota bZ Woodland stands out as a compelling new choice—electric capability wrapped in unmistakable SUV toughness.
