2026 Toyota bZ Limited

The 2026 bZ is Toyota's dedicated electric SUV, slotting below the larger bZ4X and aimed at compact crossover buyers. It competes with the Tesla Model Y, Ford Mustang Mach-E, and Hyundai Ioniq 5 in the crowded electric crossover segment. The bZ feels responsive and easy to place in town, with instant electric torque and a low center of gravity. The ride is composed on most surfaces, though the firmer suspension tuning is noticeable over sharp bumps. Inside, the bZ offers a clean, modern cabin with supportive seats and a straightforward layout. A large touchscreen and standard Toyota Safety Sense come on every trim, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Toyota's reputation for dependability extends to its EVs, though the bZ is too new to have a long-term track record. The Limited is the top bZ trim, adding the most power and luxury features for buyers who want the full experience over the XLE. The Limited's 20-inch black wheels and SofTex seats with heating and ventilation are exclusive to this trim.
