Toyota expands its range of electric models in the United States with the bZ Woodland SUV

Toyota has just unveiled the new bZ Woodland 2026, the latest all-electric model from the Japanese manufacturer, joining its ever-growing range of electric vehicles for the US market. This five-seat SUV, measuring 4.83 metres in length, stands out for its all-wheel-drive system with two electric motors, capable of delivering a combined output of 276 kW. This level of performance makes it the most powerful in the entire bZ range.

The bZ Woodland 2026 will reach US dealerships next March with a starting price of $45,300. This model features a battery pack with a capacity of 74.7 kWh, thanks to which it can cover up to 281 miles (452 km) under the EPA homologation cycle. This range is slightly reduced to around 260 miles (418 km) when fitted with optional all-terrain tyres.

The bZ Woodland comes as standard with an NACS charging port and supports DC fast charging, allowing the state of charge to be increased from 10 to 80 percent in approximately 30 minutes. This model is also compatible with Plug&Charge to make the charging process easier and features a built-in 11 kW charger for AC charging using a wallbox.

It should also be noted that, in order to improve efficiency, Toyota has added a battery preconditioning system that activates manually or automatically when a route to a fast-charging station is programmed.

Unstoppable

The impressive technical specifications of this new electric SUV also include its acceleration from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.4 seconds, with a top speed of 111 mph, around 180 km/h. Its practical design is completed with a ground clearance of 8.4 inches (almost 22 cm), and it is also capable of towing a trailer of up to 3,500 pounds (1,587 kg).

Built on the e-TNGA platform, the bZ Woodland from Toyota offers generous cargo space, with up to 2,104 litres at the rear of the vehicle with the rear seats folded down. Standard equipment highlights include the 14-inch Toyota multimedia screen, a dual wireless charging system for mobile devices, connected services and the full suite of driver-assistance systems Toyota Safety Sense 3.0.
