Toyota’s been treating the EV game like a chore—slow, reluctant, and a little grumpy, like a teen dodging trash duty. But something’s shifted.

With theall-electric2026 bZ Woodland, they’re not just showing up—they’re strapping on the hiking boots and headingoff-roadwith surprising swagger. Turns out, when Toyota finally gets moving, they know exactly how to do electric adventure right.

Subaru’s Not Alone in the Wild Anymore

Yep, it’s electric. Yep, it’s anSUV. And for once, Toyota didn’t play it safe—they gave the bZ Woodland 375 horses, standard all-wheel drive, and torque that might make theSubaruTrailseeker question its purpose.

This thing doesn’t just plug in—it shows up, takes off, and tows 3,500 pounds of whatever you’re brave enough to drag through the wilderness. All without spilling your oat milk latte.

You’ll get about 260 miles of range if conditions are just right. No, it won’t rival a Rivian in a coast-to-coast clout chase—but it’ll get you from L.A. to Big Bear without begging for volts behind a roadside diner.

And yes, it’s finally joined the cool crowd with aNACS port. That means charging at Tesla stations—30 minutes and you’re good, assuming the universe is feeling generous.

Now, let’s talk vibes. The bZ Woodland looks like the bZ4X went full REI, hit the trails, and came back calling everyone “dude.”

It’s longer, a bit taller, and wears black overfenders like a badge of honor. With over 30 cubic feet of cargo space, you’ve got room for a tent, your dog, and whatever social media says counts as an “authentic outdoor experience” this week.

Tech Meets Trail

Inside, it’s classic Toyota—no gimmicks, no nonsense, just clean, comfy functionality. It feels familiar in the best way.

You’ve got heated SofTex seats, a massive 14-inch touchscreen, and ambient lighting that turns your night drives into low-key synthwave concerts. Go for the Premium Package, and things get extra: JBL sound, a glass roof, ventilated seats, and front radiant heaters—basically moon-baseluxury, minus the spacesuit.

Yeah, Toyota showed up late to the EV party. But they rolled in with a bottle of bourbon, a Bluetooth speaker, and some surprisingly solid trail cred.

The bZ Woodland isn’t some EV revolution—but it is a sign that Toyota’s finally leaning in. It’s built to be driven, not just displayed: practical, punchy, and totally down for a dusty detour.
