Rugged Design and Utility
The bZ Woodland stands out with its hammerhead front end, full-width LED lights, and black overfenders, giving it a commanding presence. It’s slightly longer and taller than its bZ siblings, offering 30 cubic feet of rear cargo space and standard roof rails for accessories like bike racks. The SUV rides on 18-inch aluminum wheels with removable covers, and optional All-Terrain tires enhance its off-road prowess. Exterior colors, including the new Stepping Stone, reflect its outdoor-inspired aesthetic.
Performance and Off-Road Features
Equipped with AWD and X-MODE, the bZ Woodland optimizes traction across diverse terrains. Its Grip-Control system ensures stability on rough roads by modulating motor power at low speeds. The vehicle’s low center of gravity, thanks to a flat underfloor battery, enhances handling, while a battery cross-framing structure boosts rigidity. With a 3,500-pound towing capacity, it’s ready for outdoor adventures.
Charging and Efficiency
The bZ Woodland’s 74.7-kWh battery supports fast charging via a North American Charging System (NACS) port, compatible with thousands of DC stations. A pre-conditioning function optimizes battery temperature for faster charging in cold climates. The SUV also offers Plug & Charge capability, simplifying the charging process, and regenerative braking paddles to maximize energy recovery.
Comfort and Technology
Inside, the bZ Woodland features a spacious cabin with SofTex®-trimmed heated seats, a 14-inch touchscreen, and Toyota’s Audio Multimedia system with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. The Premium Package adds a JBL® audio system, panoramic roof, and ventilated seats. Connectivity features include Wi-Fi Connect, Drive Connect, and Remote Connect, allowing remote climate control and charging management via the Toyota App.
Safety and Warranty
The SUV comes with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0™, offering features like Pre-Collision System, Lane Tracing Assist, and Proactive Driving Assist. Additional safety systems include Blind Spot Monitor and Safe Exit Alert. Toyota provides a 36-month/36,000-mile warranty, an 8-year/100,000-mile battery warranty, and ToyotaCare for two years of maintenance.
The 2026 bZ Woodland blends rugged capability with cutting-edge electric performance, making it a compelling choice for eco-conscious adventurers.
