Insights
Toyota's new bZ Woodland SUV strengthens its BEV portfolio with adventure-focused capabilities, addressing a growing market segment while catching up to competitors.
Toyota's announcement of the 2026 bZ Woodland SUV marks a strategic expansion of their Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) lineup, following their refreshed bZ small SUV and all-new C-HR, bringing their total electrified vehicle count to 21 models. This latest addition specifically targets the growing outdoor adventure market with standard AWD, substantial 375 hp output, and an estimated 260-mile range.
The vehicle's specifications reveal Toyota's understanding of what consumers actually need from electric SUVs: 30-minute fast charging (10-80%), 3,500-pound towing capacity, and practical features like 8.3-inch ground clearance and available all-terrain tires. The inclusion of the North American Charging System (NACS) port is particularly significant, granting access to Tesla's extensive charging network while including Plug & Charge capability for simplified authentication.
What separates the bZ Woodland from many competitors is its genuine off-road capability with X-MODE and Grip-Control systems that optimize traction on rough terrain. Most electric SUVs focus on on-road performance, while the Woodland's configuration suggests Toyota has engineered it for actual off-pavement use.
Toyota's cautious approach to BEVs has been criticized, but this model indicates the company is accelerating its electric transition while maintaining its reliability reputation. The timing for early 2026 delivery suggests Toyota is being methodical rather than rushing a product to market. With numerous automakers slowing EV plans amid challenging market conditions, Toyota's steady expansion of its BEV offerings while maintaining hybrid options shows a pragmatic approach to the transition.

"With zero emissions and a powerful drive, the bZ Woodland is bringing outdoor-inspired style to our BEV lineup," said Dave Christ, president, Toyota Group. "This latest entry in our bZ line embraces the spirit of adventure with surprising capability, rugged style, and an all-electric powertrain that's backed by Toyota."
The 2026 bZ Woodland adds a different twist to its bZ sibling's signature style. It takes the Toyota hammerhead front end with full-width LED's and adds wide, black overfenders for a powerful stance. It also has a slightly different vehicle profile due to nearly 6-inches of additional length and just under 1-inch of additional height in the rear, giving it more than 30-cubic feet of rear cargo space. Its standard roof rails are also a different feature, giving it even more utility for accessories like luggage or bicycle racks. For the finishing touch, bZ Woodland-unique 18-inch aluminum wheels with removable covers give it a modern-yet-rugged feel, and All Terrain tires are available for drivers that want to take on rough roads.
The bZ Woodland is the third BEV recently announced by Toyota. It joins the refreshed bZ small SUV and the all-new C-HR compact crossover, bringing the total number of electrified models in the Toyota lineup to 21 vehicles in a choice of BEV, Hybrid, Plug-in Hybrid, and Fuel Cell (CA and
The 2026 bZ Woodland will be available in a single, well-equipped grade. A Premium Package with JBL Premium Audio, a fixed glass panoramic roof, digital rearview mirror, ventilated front seats and memory driver seat/side view mirrors, and optional All-Terrain tires will also be available. Exterior paint options also capture its outdoor spirit, with colors that will include the all-new Stepping Stone, along with Halo, Steel, Pavement, Raven Black, and Trueno Blue. Models are expected to arrive in early 2026.
*Ranges and charging times will vary depending on weather and other factors.
Intuitive, Focused Driving with Off-Road Performance
The bZ Woodland comes equipped with standard AWD with electric motors housed in the front and rear eAxles. Thanks to this system, it will have an impressive towing capability of 3,500 pounds. It will also have the X-MODE system, a function that allows the driver to operate a switch to select a mode according to the road conditions, automatically changing to optimize brake control and power delivery at the wheels for enhanced control and traction.
Another feature of the AWD X-MODE system is Grip-Control. When activated and used at low speeds, the system leverages motor drive power modulation to achieve capable off-road performance. This feature was developed as an added function to react to road surface characteristics and maintain a constant speed to prevent slipping on rough roads.
Its AWD prowess combines with the smooth, yet exhilarating, driving performance inherent in an all-electric vehicle. Its powerful drive is complemented by a low center of gravity, thanks to its battery pack placed flat under the floor. A battery cross-framing structure also adds to overall vehicle rigidity for stable handling.
Charging Up the Woodland
The 2026 Toyota bZ Woodland will have a lithium-Ion battery with a total capacity of 74.7-kWh. It will have a North American Charging System (NACS) port that is compatible with Level Three DC fast-charging, giving it access thousands of DC charging stations nationwide. Under ideal conditions when using DC fast charging it is capable of charging from
A pre-conditioning function is also equipped. This system is designed to bring the battery to an optimal temperature for DC fast charging, which can enable faster charging in colder climates. This function can be activated manually or automatically by setting the navigation system destination to a fast-charging station.
The Toyota bZ Woodland will also have Plug & Charge capability, an industry standard protocol that allows automatic identification, authentication and authorization at selected charging networks, reducing the need for multiple mobile charging applications.
For added charging flexibility, it will also be capable of Level One and Level Two AC charging and have an 11-kW on-board AC charger. The 2026 bZ Woodland will also have steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters to activate and adjust regenerative braking. These paddles turn the system on and dial the regenerative braking force up or down based on driver preference to capture additional energy and transfer it to the battery.
Woodland by Design
Thanks to its BEV-dedicated e-TNGA platform, the spacious cabin provides ample room for passengers. A precision-placed Multi Information Display screen expands the vehicle's feeling of space and displays key information like speed, estimated vehicle range, and charging status. For entertainment and connectivity, a 14-inch touchscreen equipped with the Toyota Audio Multimedia system is standard.
The bZ Woodland will have standard SofTex®-trimmed seats that are heated for the driver and front passenger, with power adjustability for the driver. Interior seating colors stay with the bZ Woodland's outdoor motif and include Stone Brown and Black.
Upgrading to the bZ Woodland Premium package adds a JBL Premium Audio system, panoramic roof, ventilated front seats, and front radiant heater. Keeping devices charged up is easy, thanks to a dual wireless Qi charger in the front, and four conveniently located USB Type-C charging ports throughout the cabin. Passengers can relax with abundant legroom for front and rear seats as well as ample side-to-side space in the rear.
