Toyota has unveiled its new electric SUV, the bZ Woodland EV, which is designed for on and off-road adventures. The upgraded Woodland edition boasts 375 hp, standard all-wheel drive, and a host of outdoor-ready features. Here’s a closer look at what the 2026 Toyota bZ Woodland EV has to offer.
The bZ Woodland EV is a step up from the bZ electric SUV, featuring dual electric motors that deliver 375 hp, 37 hp more than the AWD version of the bZ. With a rugged design and added capability, including a 3,500 lb towing capacity, 8.3″ of ground clearance, and All-Terrain tires, this electric SUV is built for outdoor enthusiasts.
The exterior of the bZ Woodland features Toyota’s new “hammerhead front end” with a full-length LED light bar, black overfenders, and a wide, powerful stance. The vehicle is nearly 6″ longer than the bZ, providing an extra 30 cubic feet of cargo space, along with a standard roof rack and 18″ aluminum wheels.
Powered by a 74.7 kWh battery, the bZ Woodland is expected to have a driving range of up to 260 miles. It also features a native NACS charging port for access to Tesla Superchargers, with DC fast charging capability that allows for a 10% to 80% charge in about 30 minutes. Additional features like battery pre-conditioning and Plug & Charge capabilities enhance the charging experience.
Inside, the bZ Woodland offers a 14-inch infotainment and driver display screens, along with Toyota’s Audio Multimedia system that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The vehicle comes with heated SofTex®-trimmed seats for the driver and front passenger, available in Stone Brown or Black coloring. Opting for the Woodland Premium package adds a premium JBL Audio System, panoramic roof, ventilated front seats, and a front radiant heater.
The bZ Woodland is set to launch in early 2026, joining Toyota’s lineup of electric vehicles in the US. While pricing has yet to be announced, the off-road Woodland model is expected to start around $50,000. Would you consider buying Toyota’s rugged new electric SUV?
