Toyota bZ Woodland Specs: Bigger Build, Stronger Performance, Electric Power |
As we await the arrival of the next-generation RAV4, Toyota is shifting focus to its electric lineup by expanding the bZ series with a new variant the Toyota bZ Woodland. Originally introduced under the bZ4X name now rebranded this electric crossover receives a rugged, trail-ready makeover that sets it apart from the standard model.
Toyota isn’t new to this approach: both the Sienna minivan and outgoing RAV4 offer similar off-road-inspired trims. However, the bZ Woodland isn’t just a trim Toyota is positioning it as a distinct model within the bZ family, much like how Subaru offers the Trailseeker alongside its standard electric SUV.
Taking design cues from the 2026 Subaru Trailseeker, the bZ Woodland adopts a more aggressive, outdoor-ready look. It swaps the standard bZ’s body-colored wheel arches for bold black cladding surrounding new 18-inch alloy wheels. These wheels come with removable covers and can be equipped with optional all-terrain tires for improved off-road capability.
Toyota also gave the EV a slight suspension lift of 0.1 inch, bringing total ground clearance to 8.3 inches. Additional touches like chunky roof rails, flatter taillights, and larger quarter glass windows emphasize the vehicle’s increased size and rugged appeal.

The bZ Woodland is not just a visual upgrade it’s a larger vehicle, stretching nearly six inches longer and gaining almost an inch in rear height compared to the standard bZ. These changes result in an increase in cargo space, now offering over 30.0 cubic feet with the rear seats upright an improvement of 2.3 cubic feet.
Toyota is treating the Woodland as a standalone model, making it the third EV in the brand’s expanding lineup this year, joining the updated bZ and C-HR models.
While the standard bZ offers a choice between front- or all-wheel drive and two battery sizes, the Woodland simplifies things with a dual-motor AWD system paired with the larger 74.7 kWh battery pack.
Toyota estimates the range at 260 miles, which is slightly less than the top-tier bZ variants down 18 miles from the Limited AWD and 28 miles from the XLE AWD. However, the trade-off comes in performance.

Like all bZ models, the Woodland includes a NACS charging port, granting access to Tesla Superchargers. With 30-minute DC fast charging (10–80%), it’s ready for long trips in no time.
The bZ Woodland is the most powerful model in the lineup, producing a total of 375 horsepower 37 more than the standard AWD version. Although Toyota hasn’t released the 0–60 mph time, the mechanically similar Subaru Trailseeker hits 4.4 seconds, making it the fastest-accelerating Subaru ever.
It also retains the same 3,500-pound towing capacity as the standard bZ, although heavy towing will significantly reduce driving range.
The Woodland can be upgraded with the Premium Package, which includes a fixed panoramic glass roof, digital rearview mirror, JBL premium audio system, and ventilated front seats with driver seat memory settings.

New exterior color options include Stepping Stone, joining existing shades like Trueno Blue, Raven Black, Pavement, Steel, and Halo.
Official pricing has not yet been announced, but the Woodland is expected to cost more than the outgoing 2025 bZ4X XLE AWD, which starts at $40,545 including destination. Toyota plans to reveal full pricing closer to the early 2026 on-sale date in the U.S. The model will also launch in Europe and Japan next spring, where it will be known as the bZ4X Touring.
If you prefer a standard bZ model, those are expected to arrive at dealerships in the second half of 2025, though pricing remains under wraps for now. Expect a slight increase over the current base model, which starts at $38,465 for the XLE FWD.
