The overview

Toyota’s first dedicated electric vehicle will undergo a significant midlife freshening for the 2026 model year, bringing more power, increased range, and added features. Output for most all-wheel drive versions now peaks at 338 horsepower--a 50-percent increase. And maximum range on the front-drive models is now 314 miles, up from 252 miles. The AWD versions will have a driving range of up to 288 miles. In our 70-mph highway-range test, our XLE AWD managed just 261 miles. Hardware changes promise faster charge times, and the bZ (formerly bZ4X) comes with a Tesla-style NACS charge port. Inside, the dash, center console, and instrument panel have been redesigned, and the infotainment screen now measures 14 inches diagonally. There is a longer new Woodland version coming in early 2026, boasting 375-horsepower, standard all-wheel drive, and more premium interior features.

Behind the data

Latest source update: September 11, 2026

Vehicle summaries, specifications, pricing and ratings come from Consumer Reports vehicle records. Auto Guide groups these records by model and reported generation start year.

Available years are listed explicitly. Gaps do not imply that a model was discontinued. Prices are source estimates, not live offers. No first-hand road test by Auto Guide is claimed.
