Toyota has announced an exciting addition to its Battery-Electric Vehicle (BEV) lineup with the 2026 bZ Woodland SUV, a powerful and rugged all-electric midsize SUV designed for adventure enthusiasts and eco-conscious drivers alike. Revealed on May 15, 2025, in Plano, Texas, the bZ Woodland combines impressive performance, advanced technology, and practical utility, making it a standout in Toyota’s growing electrified portfolio. With a manufacturer-estimated range of up to 260 miles, 375 horsepower, and standard all-wheel drive (AWD), this SUV is ready to tackle both off-road trails and urban streets with zero-emission efficiency.
Power and Performance for Every Journey
The 2026 bZ Woodland is equipped with a dual-motor AWD system, delivering a robust 375 horsepower through front and rear eAxles. This setup provides exceptional capability, enhanced by Toyota’s X-MODE® and Grip-Control features, which optimize traction and stability on diverse terrains. Whether you’re navigating slippery slopes or rugged paths, the bZ Woodland ensures confident handling. It boasts a 3,500-pound towing capacity and 8.3 inches of ground clearance, making it ideal for hauling gear or exploring off the beaten path. Built on the e-TNGA platform, the SUV offers a low center of gravity and a battery cross-framing structure for enhanced rigidity and a smooth, stable ride. 
Rugged Design Meets Practical Utility
The bZ Woodland’s exterior is designed to impress and perform. Its hammerhead front end features full-width LED lights, complemented by black overfenders that give it a bold, powerful stance. Nearly six inches longer than its bZ sibling, it offers a spacious interior with over 30 cubic feet of rear cargo space, perfect for camping gear or weekend essentials. Standard roof rails enhance its utility, accommodating accessories like luggage or bicycle racks. The SUV rides on 18-inch aluminum wheels with removable covers, and all-terrain tires are available for those seeking extra grip on rough roads.
A Well-Equipped, Tech-Savvy Interior
Step inside, and the bZ Woodland delivers a comfortable and connected experience. It features standard SofTex-trimmed seating, heated front seats, and a massive 14-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen for seamless control of entertainment and navigation. Dual wireless Qi charging pads keep devices powered, while ambient lighting adds a touch of sophistication. The optional Premium Package elevates the cabin with JBL Premium Audio, ventilated front seats with memory settings, a panoramic moonroof, and front radiant heaters. Safety is a priority, with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0™ and a Panoramic View Monitor with Multi-Terrain Monitor providing peace of mind on every drive.
Fast and Flexible Charging
Powered by a 74.7-kWh lithium-ion battery, the bZ Woodland offers a manufacturer-estimated range of up to 260 miles. Its North American Charging System (NACS) port provides access to thousands of DC fast-charging stations, allowing it to charge from 10% to 80% in about 30 minutes under ideal conditions. The Plug & Charge capability simplifies the process at compatible networks, while a pre-conditioning function optimizes battery temperature for faster charging in cold weather. For added versatility, it supports Level One and Level Two AC charging with an 11-kW onboard charger, ensuring you’re always ready for the road ahead.
Availability and Final Thoughts
The 2026 Toyota bZ Woodland is expected to hit dealerships in early 2026, available in a single, well-equipped grade with an optional Premium Package for extra luxury. Pricing will be revealed closer to the launch date. Exterior color options, including the all-new Stepping Stone, capture its adventurous spirit. As Toyota’s third recently announced BEV, joining the refreshed bZ small SUV and the C-HR compact crossover, the bZ Woodland reinforces the brand’s commitment to electrification without sacrificing capability or style. Whether you’re an outdoor enthusiast or a daily commuter, this all-electric SUV promises to deliver power, utility, and innovation in one rugged package.
