Changing a vehicle's name can be controversial, but not if the new one’s better. The new 2026 Toyota bZ is a refreshed version of what was previously called the bZ4X. It’s still an EV and a compact crossover SUV. However, the 2026 Toyota bZ boasts more power, greater range, updated battery technology, and a tweaked front fascia and dashboard design. The name is easier to remember and say, and the vehicle has improved in several key areas.
Trim Levels
The 2026 Toyota bZ lineup offers shoppers the choice of three well-equipped trim levels: XLE FWD, XLE AWD, and range-topping Limited AWD. Each model features a redesigned front fascia with slim LED daytime running lights integrated into a sleeker design. Body-colored overfenders create a more cohesive appearance on models finished in Wind Chill Pearl, Heavy Metal, or Black paint. All trims ride on modern wheel designs that balance style with aerodynamic efficiency. The XLE models have generous standard equipment, LED lighting, and contemporary exterior styling cues. Limited AWD versions add premium exterior elements, including enhanced lighting technology and additional chrome accents. The charging port relocates to the front right side for easier access at public charging stations.
Range and Performance
The Toyota bZ presents you with a choice of powertrains. XLE FWD models utilize a 57.7-kWh battery paired with a single electric motor producing 168 hp. This configuration delivers an estimated 380 km of driving range under ideal conditions. XLE AWD and Limited AWD models upgrade to a larger 74.7-kWh battery pack with dual electric motors. The all-wheel-drive system generates a combined 338 horsepower for impressive acceleration and enhanced traction in challenging weather. XLE AWD models achieve an estimated 468 km range, while Limited AWD versions offer approximately 436 km. Adopting silicon carbide semiconductors in the upgraded eAxles enables the substantial power increase. All models now feature the North American Charging Standard port to access thousands of DC fast charging stations. Under optimal conditions, the Toyota bZ can charge from 10 to 80 percent in approximately 30 minutes. The upgraded 11-kW onboard AC charger handles Level 2 charging more efficiently than before.
Features and Technology
The 2026 Toyota bZ receives a completely redesigned dashboard centered around a larger 14-inch Toyota Multimedia touchscreen. The slimmer dash design creates a more spacious feel while improving forward visibility. Front and rear ambient lighting with 64 available colors allows drivers to customize the cabin atmosphere to their taste. Dual wireless charging pads accommodate modern smartphone needs without cluttering the center console. All models include a heated SofTex-trimmed steering wheel with regenerative braking paddle switches for one-pedal driving control. The top-mount multi-information display provides critical information without requiring drivers to look down. Generous interior dimensions include 1,070 mm of front legroom and 898 mm in the rear seats. Cargo volume measures 784 liters behind the second row for luggage or shopping. Limited AWD versions add premium features including heated and ventilated front seats, a panoramic moonroof, and a JBL audio system. Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 comes standard across all trims with the comprehensive driver assistance technologies we now expect from a Toyota.
