Toyota is expanding its electric SUV portfolio with its most rugged BEV yet. The first-ever Toyota bZ Woodland is set to arrive at dealerships across the United States next month, delivering serious power, standard all-wheel drive and true utility for adventure-focused drivers.
Positioned as the most capable model in Toyota’s growing EV family, the bZ Woodland blends off-road styling with impressive performance and everyday practicality.
375 Horsepower and Standard AWD
Under the hood — or rather, beneath the floor — the bZ Woodland features a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system producing a net combined 375 horsepower. That makes it the most powerful bZ model to date.
Toyota estimates a 0–60 mph time of just 4.4 seconds, putting it squarely in performance SUV territory.
The standard AWD system includes X-MODE with Grip Control, designed to optimize traction on slippery or uneven surfaces. Combined with 8.4 inches of ground clearance and available all-terrain tires, the Woodland trim is built for more than just paved roads.
Up to 281 Miles of EPA Range
The 2026 bZ Woodland is powered by a 74.7-kWh lithium-ion battery pack and offers:
– Up to 281 miles of EPA-estimated range
– 260 miles with optional all-terrain tires
For charging, the SUV comes equipped with a North American Charging System (NACS) port, giving U.S. drivers expanded access to public DC fast-charging networks.
Under ideal conditions, DC fast charging can take the battery from 10% to 80% in about 30 minutes. Battery pre-conditioning helps optimize charging speeds, especially in colder climates.
At home, the 11-kW onboard charger supports Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging. Toyota includes a dual-voltage (120V/240V) charging cable as standard equipment.
Midsize SUV Utility with Real Capability
The bZ Woodland isn’t just about power — it delivers practical SUV versatility for U.S. families and outdoor enthusiasts.
Key capability highlights:
– Up to 3,500 pounds of towing capacity
– 74.3 cubic feet of cargo space with rear seats folded
– Standard roof rails
– 18-inch aluminum wheels with aero covers
Compared to the standard bZ SUV, the Woodland gains nearly six inches in length and additional rear height, translating into more usable cargo room.
Rugged Design with Modern EV Styling
Visually, the bZ Woodland adds black overfenders to Toyota’s signature hammerhead front design, reinforcing its off-road personality.
Exterior color options include: stepping stone (new), halo, steel, pavement, raven black and trueno blue.
Inside, buyers can choose stone brown or black interior themes with SofTex-trimmed seating surfaces.

Expanding Toyota’s U.S. EV Strategy
