All-Electric Power Meets Real Adventure
The 2026 Toyota bZ Woodland is not your typical electric SUV. Most EVs are built for pavement. This one is built for pavement, gravel, snow, trailheads, and long weekends up north. If you’ve been waiting for an all-electric Toyota SUV that feels ready for Minnesota life, this is it.
At Walser Toyota in Bloomington, we’re excited about what the Toyota bZ Woodland brings to the table. It combines serious electric performance, real off-road capability, usable cargo space, and everyday comfort in a way that feels practical rather than flashy. This is an EV you can actually live with.
If you’re searching for a 2026 Toyota bZ Woodland for sale near Minneapolis, comparing electric SUVs with towing capacity, or simply curious about Toyota’s newest EV, here’s everything you need to know.
The Toyota bZ Woodland is an all-new all-electric SUV built on Toyota’s bZ platform, but reimagined for drivers who want more than just a commuter vehicle. While the standard Toyota bZ is focused on smooth city driving, the Woodland version takes things further with more power, more clearance, more cargo space, and more capability.
This is a dual-motor, all-wheel drive battery electric vehicle that produces 375 horsepower. That makes it the most powerful Toyota EV to date. It also brings real upgrades that matter in the Midwest, including:
In short, this is not just another electric crossover. It is built to handle real weather and real gear.
The 2026 Toyota bZ Woodland AWD comes standard with dual electric motors producing 375 horsepower. That is a major jump over the standard bZ AWD. Independent testing shows 0 to 60 mph in about 4.3 seconds, which is quick for any SUV, electric or not.
More importantly, it is smooth. Electric torque is instant, which makes highway merging and passing effortless. Around town, it feels responsive without being jerky.
For Minnesota drivers, the real story is traction. The bZ Woodland comes standard with all-wheel drive and Toyota’s X-Mode system. X-Mode works with Grip Control to manage wheel slip and power delivery on snow, gravel, dirt roads, and uneven surfaces. If you regularly deal with icy intersections or head to cabin roads that are not perfectly maintained, this system makes a noticeable difference.
Eco and Normal drive modes are available for everyday driving, but X-Mode is where this vehicle separates itself from typical electric SUVs.
One of the biggest search questions around electric SUVs is towing capacity. The 2026 Toyota bZ Woodland answers that clearly with a dedicated 3,500-pound towing rating.
That means small trailers, utility trailers, lightweight campers, and recreational gear are all within reach. Most electric crossovers in this class are not tow-rated at all. The Woodland changes that conversation.
Add in 8.4 inches of ground clearance and available all-terrain tires, and you have an EV that is comfortable pulling gear while handling uneven terrain.
Range anxiety is still one of the top concerns for EV buyers. The Toyota bZ Woodland delivers competitive numbers:
For commuting in Minneapolis, road trips to Duluth, or weekend drives to Wisconsin, that range covers most daily and weekly driving without issue.
Charging is designed to be simple. The bZ Woodland uses the North American Charging System, giving drivers access to a growing fast-charging network. It supports Level 3 DC fast charging that can take the battery from low charge to around 80 percent in under 30 minutes under ideal conditions.
At home, a Level 2 240-volt charger can bring the battery from 0 to 100 percent in roughly seven hours. That means you can plug in overnight and wake up to a full charge.
Toyota also includes an 11-kW onboard AC charger and dual voltage charging cables to make ownership easier.
*Under ideal conditions.
The Woodland version adds real utility over the standard bZ. Toyota stretched the cargo area by about six inches in length and added an extra inch of rear height.
With the rear seats up, you get over 33 cubic feet of cargo space. Fold the seats flat and that number grows to more than 74 cubic feet. That is enough space for camping gear, mountain bikes, tools, or a serious Costco run.
Roof rails come standard and are designed to handle the weight of kayaks, bikes, and cargo boxes. Optional cross bars expand your carrying options even further.
Inside, the cabin seats five comfortably and is built around a large 14-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen. The layout is clean, tech-forward, and easy to use. There are three USB-C ports, dual wireless phone chargers, and a 120V 1500W AC outlet that can power tools, camping equipment, or electronics.
For Minnesota winters, heated front seats, heated rear seats, and a heated steering wheel come standard. Premium trims add ventilated front seats and a front radiant heater for even more cold-weather comfort.
The 2026 Toyota bZ Woodland is available in six exterior colors:
Interior color options include Black and Stone Brown, both using SofTex materials that are durable and easy to clean.
Matte black overfenders, rugged wheel arch molding, black badging, and bold styling details give the Woodland a tougher look than the standard bZ.

The electric SUV market is crowded. But very few EVs offer real towing, real ground clearance, real AWD capability, and real cargo space all in one package.
The 2026 Toyota bZ Woodland feels purpose-built for active drivers who still want the environmental benefits of a battery electric vehicle. It gives you the quiet ride and instant torque of an EV while keeping the versatility that SUV buyers expect.
