Meet the 2026 Toyota bZ Woodland: The EV Built for Your Next Escape

Toyota just gave its electric lineup a rugged upgrade—and it’s not playing. The 2026 Toyota bZ Woodland is here, and it’s all about that off-road-ready, adventure-first vibe. Think of it as the more outdoorsy sibling of the regular Toyota bZ EV, built for Gen Z drivers who want style, sustainability, and substance.

First Look: What’s the Toyota bZ Woodland All About?

So, what makes this bZ Woodland edition stand out? For starters, it’s got standard all-wheel drive and cranks out a solid 375 horsepower from its dual electric motors. That’s enough juice to hit the trails or cruise the highway like a boss.

Oh, and range anxiety? Not a problem. You’re looking at an estimated 260 miles on a full charge thanks to its 67-kWh usable battery. And yep, it comes with a NACS (Tesla-compatible) charging port, meaning fast access to Tesla Superchargers across the map. Toyota claims it can juice up from 10% to 80% in just 30 minutes.

Off-Road Energy, Toyota Style

Even if you squint, the bZ Woodland might remind you of the Subaru Trailseeker—and you’re not wrong. Toyota and Subaru have collab vibes (hi, BRZ and GR86), and their electric platforms are cousins. But the bZ Woodland is a little longer and packs more power.

It rolls with 18-inch wheels, optional all-terrain tires, and 8.3 inches of ground clearance, making it low-key trail-ready. Plus, it can tow up to 3,500 pounds—whether that’s a jet ski, a trailer, or your friend’s “emergency” couch.

And that signature Toyota hammerhead front? It adds some serious edge to the otherwise clean and practical EV aesthetic. Think modern, but with a slight growl.

Interior Vibes: Sleek, Smart, and Spacious

Step inside and it’s classic Toyota EV, but leveled up. The dashboard layout is minimal and clean, featuring a high-mounted digital gauge cluster and a massive 14-inch touchscreen. Everything’s driver-focused and future-forward.

Standard features include:

  • Heated front seats
  • Power-adjustable driver’s seat
  • Choice of black or brown interior
  • Rotary gear shifter + dual wireless chargers
  • 30 cubic feet of cargo space (that’s more than the OG bZ)

Wanna flex a bit more? The optional Premium Package brings:

  • JBL 9-speaker sound system
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Ventilated front seats

It’s all about options, but even the base model is fully stacked.

What’s the Catch? Pricing & Launch

Toyota hasn’t dropped the exact number yet, but word on the street is that the 2026 Toyota bZ Woodland will start somewhere around $50,000. That’s a bit above the Subaru Trailseeker (estimated at $45K), but hey, this one’s coming in a single well-equipped trim, so you’re not gonna miss out on features.

Expect it to hit dealerships early next year—just in time to plan your next weekend escape or mountain trip.
