TORONTO, February 17, 2026 – Toyota’s most rugged addition to its battery-electric (BEV) lineup, the first-ever 2026 bZ Woodland is expected to begin arriving at Toyota Dealers across Canada next month. Equipped with standard all-wheel drive with X-MODE®, the bZ Woodland has a net combined system output of 375 horsepower and a Manufacturer-estimated total driving range rating of up to 452 km (The Manufacturer-estimated driving range rating is 418 km when equipped with optional All-Terrain tires). It also has midsize SUV utility, with the aforementioned all-terrain tire option, 215 mm of ground clearance, and up to 3,500-pound (1,588 kg) towing capacity.

The 2026 bZ Woodland brings a different twist to the existing bZ’s style. It adds rugged black overfenders to the Toyota hammerhead front end and adds 140 mm of additional length and 20 mm of additional height in the rear. The extra length gives it more space than its bZ sibling, with 2,120 litres of cargo volume with the second-row seatbacks folded flat versus the bZ model’s 1,900 litres.

Its standard roof rails further set it apart from the bZ, providing added utility for accessories like luggage or bicycle racks. For the finishing touch, bZ Woodland’s 18-inch aluminum wheels with removable aero covers give it a modern-yet-rugged feel, and the available All Terrain tires are a great option for drivers that want to venture on the less beaten path.

With its standard 375-hp net combined system output, the dual-motor, all-wheel-drive (AWD) powertrain makes the bZ Woodland the most powerful bZ yet. Toyota estimates the bZ Woodland can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 4.4 seconds.

The bZ Woodland is the third BEV that will be joining the Toyota lineup, along with the refreshed bZ SUV and the all-new C-HR compact crossover. The total number of electrified models in the Toyota lineup, including BEV, Hybrid, Plug-in Hybrid, and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (British Columbia only) powertrains, is now 21 models.

*Manufacturer-estimated range at 100% charge in 20-30 degrees Celsius. Actual range and charging times will vary depending on weather and other factors.

**Plug & Charge requires an Active Remote Connect trial or subscription. 3-year trial included. 4G network dependent.

Intuitive, Focused Driving with Adventurous Flair

The bZ Woodland comes equipped with all-wheel drive with electric motors housed in the front and rear eAxles. It comes standard with X-MODE ®, an AWD function that helps 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 modulates motor power delivery to enhance capability in adverse conditions. This feature was developed as an added function to react to road surface characteristics and maintain a constant speed to improve the driver’s ability to focus on what’s ahead.

Its AWD capability combines with the smooth, yet exhilarating, driving performance inherent in an all-electric vehicle. Its powerful drive is complemented by a low centre 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 comes with a lithium-ion battery with a total capacity of 74.7 kWh and a North American Charging System (NACS) port compatible with Level 3 DC fast-charging. Under ideal conditions when using DC fast charging, the bZ is capable of charging from 10% to 80% battery capacity in around 30 minutes*.

bZ Woodland is also equipped with a Battery pre-conditioning feature. This system is designed to bring the battery to an optimal temperature for DC fast charging, which can enable faster charging in cold weather conditions. This function can be activated manually using system settings or automatically by setting the navigation system destination to a fast-charging station (with an active Drive Connect trial or subscription**).

The Toyota bZ Woodland also features Plug & Charge*** capability, an industry standard protocol that allows automatic vehicle identification, and payment authentication and authorization at selected charging networks.

For added charging flexibility, the 11-kW on-board charger enables Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging. It also comes standard with a dual-voltage 120V/240V home charger, making at-home Level 2 charging as easy as plugging into an applicable 240V outlet. The 2026 bZ Woodland has 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 energy during braking and transfer it to the battery.

Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (BSM with RCTA) is also standard. The BSM system uses rear side radar sensors installed on the inner side of the rear bumper on the left and right side to assist the driver in confirming safety when changing lanes. The RCTA function uses the same sensors installed behind the rear bumper. This function is intended to assist the driver in checking areas that are not easily visible when backing up.

Whether you’re maneuvering into a tight parking space or over rough terrain, the standard Panoramic View Monitor with Multi-Terrain Monitor provides an enhanced view around the vehicle. Multiple angles around the vehicle can be selected to be displayed on the 14-inch multimedia screen.

Safe Exit Alert is also standard on bZ Woodland. This system is designed to detect vehicles or cyclists approaching from the rear and judges if there is a possibility of a collision with an opened door or passengers who are exiting. Safe Exit Alert will illuminate an indicator in the outer mirror and provide an audible alert to notify vehicle occupants.

The Toyota bZ Woodland is also equipped with Toyota’s Star Safety System, standard. This system includes Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction Control (TRAC), Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BA) and Smart Stop Technology® (SST).
