THE 2026 TOYOTA BZ: Stylish, Smart and Ready for Your Everyday Adventures

Whether you’re heading to the farmer’s market, picking up the kids, or planning a weekend escape, the 2026 Toyota bZ is designed to keep up with your lifestyle while helping you make the switch to electric with ease.

Toyota’s latest all-electric SUV brings more range, faster charging, and a refreshed design that’s as sleek as it is functional. “This is going to be a big year for Toyota’s electric lineup,” says Kevin Laurie at North London Toyota. “The 2026 bZ is just the start of some exciting changes.”

Let’s talk range, because convenience matters. The all-wheel-drive model offers up to 460 km on a full charge, while the front-wheel-drive version delivers 378 km. That means fewer charging stops and more time doing what you love. And thanks to a new charging port compatible with thousands of fast chargers across Canada, you can go from 10 to 80 percent in about 30 minutes — perfect for a quick recharge while grabbing coffee or shopping.

Performance-wise, the bZ is surprisingly sporty. With 338 horsepower in the AWD model, it’s quick, smooth, and ready for all seasons. Plus, features like regenerative braking paddles and off-road driving modes make it versatile for everything from city streets to cottage roads.

Inside, the bZ is all about comfort and tech. A spacious cabin, a 14-inch touchscreen, dual wireless phone chargers, and ambient lighting in 64 colours create a cozy, connected space for the whole family. “People are going to love how easy it is to live with,” Laurie adds. “It’s stylish, practical, and packed with smart features.”

Whether you’re new to electric or just looking for a fresh ride, the 2026 Toyota bZ is built for real life and ready to roll with you.
