Toyota has revealed exterior details of the upcoming 2026 bZ Woodland, an electric SUV designed for off-road capability. The Woodland builds on the existing bZ platform but introduces significant changes to its appearance and performance.
Design Updates
The front end maintains a resemblance to the standard bZ model, though with more aggressive styling. A chunkier front bumper and black wheel cladding emphasize the vehicle’s rugged intent. The most striking alterations are at the rear. The Woodland boasts a straighter, extended roofline, a full-width taillight bar, and a bolder bumper designed for off-road use.
Size and Power
Despite sharing the same wheelbase as the standard bZ, the Woodland is 5.6 inches longer overall. This is likely due to the redesigned rear end. More importantly, Toyota has increased the Woodland’s output to 375 horsepower, a 37-hp improvement over the standard bZ’s dual-motor configuration.
Range and Battery
The bZ Woodland’s battery maintains a usable capacity of 67 kWh, similar to the all-wheel-drive version of the regular bZ. Toyota projects an estimated range of 281 miles on standard tires. However, switching to all-terrain tires will reduce this to 260 miles, indicating a trade-off between off-road grip and efficiency.
The bZ Woodland is a clear signal that Toyota intends to expand its electric lineup into more specialized segments. The design suggests a focus on utility and durability, making it a contender in the growing market for electric adventure vehicles.
