Toyota's battery-electric lineup welcomes its most rugged member yet. The 2026 bZ Woodland pairs electric power with genuine off-road capability, offering drivers in Ontario a strong option for adventure without compromise. With 375 horsepower, 452 km of range, and 215 mm of ground clearance, this all-electric SUV is built for both daily commutes and weekend explorations.
The bZ Woodland arrives with standard all-wheel drive, a 74.7 kWh battery, and access to DC fast charging through its North American Charging System (NACS) port. When navigating winter roads or heading off the beaten path, this electric SUV delivers the capability and space families need.
Power and Performance Built for Adventure
The 2026 bZ Woodland features a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system generating 375 horsepower. This electric powertrain delivers instant torque for confident acceleration and responsive handling in all conditions. The battery pack sits flat under the floor, creating a low centre of gravity that enhances stability and cornering dynamics.
A battery cross-framing structure adds rigidity to the chassis, improving overall handling characteristics. The result is an electric SUV that feels planted and composed when merging onto the highway or navigating rough terrain.
Range and Charging Capabilities
The bZ Woodland's 74.7 kWh lithium-ion battery provides up to 452 km of manufacturer-estimated driving range. This range figure applies to models equipped with standard tires. Models fitted with optional All-Terrain tires offer 418 km of range, reflecting the increased rolling resistance of more aggressive rubber.
Charging happens through the North American Charging System (NACS) port, giving you access to an expanding network of DC fast charging stations. Under ideal conditions, the bZ Woodland can charge from 10 to 80% in around 30 minutes using Level 3 DC fast charging. This rapid charging capability makes longer trips more practical and reduces downtime during your adventures.
Rugged Design and Increased Space
Toyota stretched the bZ Woodland by 140 mm compared to the standard bZ model, with an additional 20 mm of height at the rear. These dimensional changes translate directly into increased cargo capacity. With the second-row seatbacks folded flat, the bZ Woodland offers 2,120 litres of cargo volume - 220 litres more than its sibling.
The exterior design emphasizes capability. Rugged black overfenders protect the body panels and give the Woodland a more aggressive stance. Toyota's signature hammerhead front end remains, now complemented by the off-road-ready styling cues. The 215 mm ground clearance ensures you can tackle rutted trails, deep snow, and uneven terrain without hesitation.
Interior Comfort and Technology
Inside, the bZ Woodland prioritizes comfort and connectivity. Standard SofTex-trimmed seating provides a premium feel while remaining durable and easy to maintain. Heated seats are standard in the front and outboard rear positions, with a heated steering wheel completing the cold-weather comfort package.
The 14-inch Toyota Multimedia touchscreen serves as the command centre for entertainment, navigation, and vehicle settings. Toyota's software teams designed this system for straightforward operation. A six-speaker audio system delivers quality sound throughout the cabin.
Dual wireless Qi device chargers keep smartphones powered without cables cluttering the cabin. Digital Key capability allows you to unlock and start the vehicle using your compatible smartphone. Dual-zone automatic climate control ensures both driver and passengers can set their preferred temperature. Customizable ambient interior lighting adds a personal touch to the cabin atmosphere.
Safety and Driver Assistance
The bZ Woodland comes equipped with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, a comprehensive suite of active safety and driver assistance technologies. This system pairs millimetre wave radar and a monocular camera to monitor driving conditions and support driver awareness.
The Panoramic View Monitor with Multi-Terrain Monitor provides a 360-degree view around the vehicle, making it easier to navigate tight parking situations or position the SUV on challenging trails. This system helps you see obstacles that might otherwise be hidden from view.
Power-folding exterior mirrors add convenience while also reducing the vehicle's width in tight spaces. These features work together to make the bZ Woodland easier to manoeuvre despite its increased size and capability.
Towing and Utility
The 2026 bZ Woodland offers a towing capacity of 1,587 kg (3,500 lbs), making it capable of hauling small trailers, boats, or camping equipment. This towing capacity, paired with the generous cargo space, positions the bZ Woodland as a genuinely versatile family vehicle.
The pairing of electric power and towing capability demonstrates how modern EVs can handle real-world utility demands. The instant torque from the electric motors provides smooth, controlled power delivery when towing, eliminating the gear hunting and lag sometimes experienced with conventional powertrains.
Available Grades
Toyota offers the bZ Woodland in two well-equipped grades. The base bZ Woodland includes all the comfort, technology, and safety features mentioned above. The bZ Woodland Premium builds on this foundation with additional premium appointments.
Both grades come standard with all-wheel drive, the 74.7 kWh battery, and the 375 horsepower dual-motor system. This approach ensures every bZ Woodland delivers the same core capability and performance, with the Premium grade adding enhanced comfort and convenience features.
The 2026 bZ Woodland starts at $59,900. Pricing shown reflects the price at the time of writing. Final pricing may vary.
