Toyota has opened orders for its upgraded 2026 bZ electric SUV, which introduces more driving range, new styling, a built-in NACS port for access to Tesla’s Supercharger network, and a starting price below $35,000 — more than $2,000 less than the outgoing model.
Replacing the bZ4X, Toyota’s first all-electric SUV, the 2026 bZ is available in two trims — XLE and Limited — and priced from $34,900.

The latest bZ benefits from a significant performance boost, with new SiC semiconductors allowing all-wheel-drive models to produce up to 388 horsepower — around 50% more than the 2025 bZ4X.
