Toyota sells three electric SUVs in the United States and only one of them tows. The bZ Woodland is rated at 3,500 pounds, stands 8.4 inches off the ground, and opens at $45,300 before a $1,595 delivery fee.
Underneath it is a Toyota bZ, sharing the 74.7-kWh battery, the 112.2-inch wheelbase and 375 horsepower from a motor on each axle.
It is 5.6 inches longer than that bZ and holds 6.1 more cubic feet behind the second row.
Key Takeaways
- $45,300 for the bZ Woodland and $47,400 for the Woodland Premium, both before Toyota’s $1,595 delivery, processing and handling fee. Both grades are all-wheel drive.
- 281 EPA miles on the standard tire, 260 on the optional all-terrain. That tire is the only Woodland option with a published range cost, and Toyota publishes no price for it.
- 3,500 pounds of towing, and the tow hardware produced the car’s only recall. Campaign 26V512000 covers 407 vehicles; owner letters were due September 21, 2026.
- 33.8 cubic feet behind the second row and 74.3 with the seats folded. The JBL audio system standard on the Premium cuts those to 33.3 and 71.8.
- 150 kW DC charging, roughly 30 minutes from 10 to 80 percent, through a native NACS port, with an 11-kW onboard charger for home use.
- Neither IIHS nor NHTSA has crash-tested one. Its IIHS ratings are assigned from tests of related vehicles, and NHTSA has published only a four-star rollover result.
- A bZ Limited AWD costs exactly the same $45,300, so the Woodland’s closest competitor is another Toyota on the same lot.
What the bZ Woodland Is
Toyota builds the Woodland on e-TNGA, the battery-electric architecture it developed with Subaru. Two grades, both all-wheel drive: the bZ Woodland at $45,300 and the bZ Woodland Premium at $47,400.
There is no front-drive version and no smaller battery, both of which the bZ offers.
The 74.7-kWh pack runs at 391 volts and feeds a 167-kW motor at each axle, quoted together at 375 horsepower and 198 lb-ft per motor. Toyota estimates 4.4 seconds to 60 mph. Car and Driver put a Woodland Premium on the all-terrain tire through an instrumented test and got 3.9 seconds, with a quarter mile in 12.5 at 110 mph and a measured curb weight of 4,570 pounds.
Subaru sells the same platform as the Trailseeker, matching it on horsepower, battery and tow rating. The two separate mainly on price and on how much each company publishes.
Price, and What the Premium Adds
Toyota’s February 2026 full-line pricing sheet lists both grades. The delivery, processing and handling fee is set by vehicle class rather than model year, and for this class it now runs $1,595, up from the $1,450 printed on that February sheet.
| Grade | MSRP | With $1,595 delivery |
|---|---|---|
| bZ Woodland AWD | $45,300 | $46,895 |
| bZ Woodland Premium AWD | $47,400 | $48,995 |
Cars delivered in spring 2026 paid the $1,450 fee that sheet printed, which put them at $46,750 and $48,850.
The $2,100 between them buys a panoramic fixed-glass roof with a power sunshade, a nine-speaker JBL system with subwoofer and amplifier in place of six speakers, ventilated front seats, a radiant foot-and-leg heater, a driver memory seat, memory and reverse tilt-down mirrors, and a digital rearview mirror with HomeLink.
Toyota lists that JBL system as taking half a cubic foot from the area behind the second row and 2.5 from the seats-folded figure.
A bZ Limited AWD also lists at $45,300. Toyota prices its own all-wheel-drive bZ at exactly the Woodland’s opening figure, and the 2027 sheet published September 3 keeps the pairing, at $45,380 each. Anyone cross-shopping inside the Toyota showroom is choosing between two cars at one price, grade for grade.
No federal tax credit applies. The $7,500 credit ended September 30, 2025, before the Woodland went on sale.
Range, Charging and the All-Terrain Tire
The EPA rates the Woodland at 281 miles on its standard 235/60R18 all-season tires and 260 on the optional 235/65R18 all-terrains. Both grades carry the same rating.
Twenty-one miles is a lot to give up for a tire, and Toyota does not publish what it costs to buy. For scale, the 20-inch wheels on a Subaru Trailseeker Limited take seven miles off that car.
Charging runs through a North American Charging Standard port built into the car rather than adapted, with J1772 and CCS1 adapters supplied. Toyota’s product information guide puts the DC maximum at 150 kW and quotes roughly 30 minutes from 10 to 80 percent.
Home charging uses an 11-kW onboard charger. Toyota quotes about seven hours on a 240-volt circuit; the EPA lists eight.
Automatic battery preconditioning is standard, with a condition attached: Toyota’s disclaimer says the automatic function requires an active Drive Connect trial or subscription, with a three-year trial included.
Inside the bZ Woodland
A 14-inch touchscreen runs Toyota Audio Multimedia with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on both grades, alongside a 7-inch instrument display mounted at the top of the dash rather than behind the wheel.
Heated front and rear seats are standard from the base grade, as are two wireless phone chargers, four USB-C ports rated 15 watts in front and 60 watts in the rear, SofTex upholstery, eight-way power front seats, a heated steering wheel with regenerative braking paddles, and ambient lighting in 64 colors.
| Interior dimension | Front | Rear |
|---|---|---|
| Headroom | 38.6 in | 38.4 in (37.5 with the roof) |
| Legroom | 42.1 in | 35.3 in |
| Shoulder room | 57.8 in | 56.0 in |
| Hip room | 54.4 in | 44.8 in |
Passenger volume comes to a manufacturer-estimated 95 cubic feet across five seats. The panoramic roof costs 0.9 inch of rear headroom on the Premium grade that carries it as standard.
Toyota fits all-weather floor mats and a cargo liner as standard on both grades, which is unusual at this price.
Cargo and Towing
The Woodland holds 33.8 cubic feet behind the second row and 74.3 with the 60/40 rear seats folded. With the JBL system those become 33.3 and 71.8.
That is 6.1 cubic feet more than the bZ and 2.5 more than the Subaru Trailseeker, though only Subaru names the standard it measures to, so read the Subaru comparison as indicative.
Towing is rated at 3,500 pounds. Neither the bZ nor the C-HR BEV carries a published tow rating. Black ladder-type roof rails are standard on both grades, and Toyota publishes no load rating for them, static or dynamic. Subaru rates the Trailseeker’s at 700 pounds parked and 176 moving, which is the number a rooftop tent buyer needs and the Woodland does not have.
Size, Weight and Ground Clearance
The Woodland is 190.2 inches long, 73.2 wide without mirrors and 65.9 tall with the antenna, on a 112.2-inch wheelbase. Ground clearance is 8.4 inches. Curb weight is 4,500 pounds, or 4,545 for the Premium, against a 5,645-pound GVWR on both.
Against the bZ that is 5.6 inches of extra length, 0.9 inch of height and two tenths of an inch of ground clearance. Against the Subaru Trailseeker the Woodland is six tenths of an inch shorter and a tenth lower at the axles, differences small enough that nothing follows from them.
Toyota publishes no approach or departure angle for the Woodland, and gives no assembly location in its product information guide, its launch release or its vehicle page. Both absences sit oddly on a car sold on its ability to leave pavement.
When It Went on Sale
Toyota revealed the Woodland in May 2025, said it would reach dealerships in early 2026, and named March in its February pricing release.
Toyota’s own March sales summary carries no bZ Woodland line at all. That is how the summary shows a model that has not started selling: the C-HR BEV appears in the same table at 13 units, its first month on record.
By June the Woodland had 294 deliveries for the month and 554 for the calendar year, which puts the 260 units before June in April or May rather than March. The bZ sold 1,953 that month.
Toyota’s U.S. sales summary reports by model every month, but only the March and June 2026 editions are posted, so June is the most recent month carrying a Woodland figure.
The 2026 car is already the outgoing one. Toyota’s September 3 pricing sheet lists only 2027 Woodlands, at $45,380 and $47,480, an $80 increase on each grade.
Safety Ratings Come From Other Cars
IIHS lists the bZ Woodland as Good for driver-side small overlap, Acceptable for passenger-side small overlap, Acceptable for moderate overlap, Good for side impact, Good for both front crash prevention tests and Good for headlights.
It is not a Top Safety Pick.
None of those ratings was measured on a bZ Woodland. Three of the four crashworthiness results are assigned from a 2026 Subaru Solterra that Toyota crash-tested in its own facility, and the fourth from a Toyota bZ XLE that IIHS tested. The headlight and front-crash-prevention numbers carry no tested-vehicle note, but the Good-rated headlight measurements are identical across the Woodland, the bZ, the Solterra and the Trailseeker, which is not what four separate evaluations produce.
NHTSA has published no frontal or side crash rating for the Woodland. It has run the dynamic rollover test, which returned four stars and an 11.6 percent rollover probability with no tip.
The Tow Converter Recall
Campaign 26V512000 covers 407 bZ Woodlands fitted with a tow converter. An electrical short in the converter’s printed circuit board can deactivate the electronic stability control system and leave the brake lights illuminated. Dealers replace the converter at no charge, and Toyota expected owner letters to be mailed September 21, 2026.
Toyota filed it on August 6, 2026. It is the only campaign against the car, and it exists because of the feature that defines it: the Woodland is the only electric Toyota rated to tow, and the tow hardware is what failed.
A 407-vehicle campaign on a nameplate that reached dealers in March is a component-supply problem rather than a verdict on the car. The complaint and recall record for the battery underneath it sits on our 74.7-kWh pack reference page.
Which Grade to Buy
Buy the bZ Woodland AWD if
You want the towing, the ground clearance and the standard equipment without the audio. At $46,895 delivered it already includes the power liftgate, heated front and rear seats, X-MODE with Grip Control and Downhill Assist Control, roof rails, and the all-weather mats and cargo liner.
It also keeps the larger cargo figures, because the JBL system is what shrinks them.
Buy the Woodland Premium if
Ventilated seats or the panoramic roof decide it. The $2,100 is mostly comfort and audio, and it costs half a cubic foot behind the second row, 2.5 with the seats down, and 0.9 inch of rear headroom.
Price the bZ first if
You are not going to tow. A bZ Limited AWD lists at the same $45,300, goes 278 EPA miles against the Woodland’s 281, and offers a 20-inch wheel. Toyota’s bZ release also names a heat pump system, which no Woodland document does.
Wait if
You are putting a tent on the roof. Toyota publishes no roof-rail load rating, and a rating you cannot find is not a rating you can load against.
The Verdict
The bZ Woodland is a bZ with six more inches, six more cubic feet, a tow rating and better standard equipment, sold for the same money as the bZ Limited AWD. On that comparison it is the more useful of the two unless you specifically want the longer front-drive range or the 20-inch wheel. The case against it is narrower: 21 miles is a steep price for the all-terrain tire, the roof rails carry no published load rating on a car sold for carrying things, and the one recall on file is against the tow hardware that justifies the whole exercise. Toyota has also stopped listing the 2026 car, so anything on a lot now is the outgoing model year at $80 below its replacement.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the 2026 Toyota bZ Woodland cost?
Toyota lists the bZ Woodland at $45,300 and the bZ Woodland Premium at $47,400, both before a delivery, processing and handling fee that currently runs $1,595 for this class. That works out to $46,895 and $48,995 delivered. The 2027 versions are $80 higher on each grade.
What is the range of the 2026 Toyota bZ Woodland?
The EPA rates it at 281 miles on its standard 18-inch all-season tires. On the optional all-terrain tire the rating drops to 260 miles. Both grades carry the same figures, and combined efficiency is 117 MPGe on the standard tire and 109 on the all-terrain.
When did the Toyota bZ Woodland go on sale?
Toyota revealed it in May 2025 and it reached dealerships in March 2026. Toyota’s quarterly sales reporting shows no deliveries before that month, and 294 units in June 2026. The 2027 model year is already on Toyota’s pricing sheet as of September 3, 2026.
Can the Toyota bZ Woodland tow?
Yes, up to 3,500 pounds. It is the only electric Toyota with a published towing rating. Toyota publishes no towing figure for the bZ.
How much cargo space does the bZ Woodland have?
33.8 cubic feet behind the second row and 74.3 with the rear seats folded. On the Premium grade, whose JBL audio system includes a subwoofer, those drop to 33.3 and 71.8. The Woodland holds 6.1 cubic feet more than the Toyota bZ behind the second row.
What is the bZ Woodland’s interior like?
Five seats, a 14-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 7-inch top-mounted instrument display, and SofTex upholstery with eight-way power front seats. Heated front and rear seats, two wireless chargers, four USB-C ports and all-weather mats are standard on both grades. Ventilated front seats and a radiant leg heater are Premium only.
How fast does the bZ Woodland charge?
Toyota publishes a 150-kW DC maximum and quotes roughly 30 minutes from 10 to 80 percent. Home charging runs through an 11-kW onboard charger and takes about seven hours on a 240-volt circuit. The NACS port is built into the car, with J1772 and CCS1 adapters supplied.
What is the difference between the bZ Woodland and the Woodland Premium?
$2,100. The Premium adds a panoramic fixed-glass roof with power sunshade, a nine-speaker JBL system with subwoofer, ventilated front seats, a radiant foot-and-leg heater, a memory driver’s seat, memory mirrors and a digital rearview mirror. It gives up half a cubic foot of cargo behind the second row, 2.5 with the seats folded, and 0.9 inch of rear headroom.
Is the Toyota bZ Woodland the same as the Subaru Trailseeker?
They share an architecture, the 74.7-kWh battery, 375 horsepower from a motor on each axle and a 3,500-pound tow rating. Toyota calls the platform e-TNGA and Subaru calls it the e-Global Platform. They differ on trim structure, equipment, wheel options and how much each company publishes.
Has the bZ Woodland been recalled?
Once. Campaign 26V512000, filed August 6, 2026, covers 407 vehicles equipped with a tow converter whose circuit board can short, disabling stability control and leaving the brake lights on. Dealers replace the converter free of charge, with owner letters due September 21, 2026.
Is the Toyota bZ Woodland safe?
IIHS rates it Good or Acceptable in all seven of its categories, but none of those ratings was measured on a bZ Woodland. Three come from a Subaru Solterra that Toyota tested and one from a Toyota bZ that IIHS tested. It is not a Top Safety Pick. NHTSA has published only a four-star rollover rating and no crash-test result.
How big is the bZ Woodland?
190.2 inches long, 73.2 wide and 65.9 tall on a 112.2-inch wheelbase, with 8.4 inches of ground clearance and a curb weight of 4,500 pounds, or 4,545 for the Premium. That makes it 5.6 inches longer than the Toyota bZ and six tenths of an inch shorter than the Subaru Trailseeker.
Specifications, pricing and photography come from Toyota’s USA Newsroom, with range figures from the EPA and ratings from IIHS and NHTSA.
