Toyota bZ 2026: A Smarter, More Capable Electric SUV for Canada
Toyota takes another major step forward in electrification with the Toyota bZ 2026, a fully electric SUV that has been significantly redesigned for improved performance, technology, and everyday usability. Building on the foundation of the previous generation, the bZ 2026 delivers meaningful upgrades while maintaining Toyota’s well-known reputation for reliability and quality.
Improved Range and Enhanced Performance
The Toyota bZ 2026 is offered with two lithium-ion battery options, depending on the trim level:
-
57.7 kWh (Front-Wheel Drive): estimated range of up to 380 km
-
77 kWh (All-Wheel Drive): estimated range of up to 468 km
AWD models benefit from a substantial power increase, producing up to 338 horsepower, allowing the bZ 2026 to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in approximately 5.1 seconds. The result is confident, responsive performance well suited to Canadian driving conditions.
Simplified Charging with NACS (Tesla) Compatibility
One of the most significant upgrades for 2026 is the addition of the NACS charging port, the same standard used by Tesla. This gives drivers access to a vast network of fast-charging stations, including Tesla Superchargers, across Canada.
Under ideal conditions, DC fast charging allows the battery to recharge from 10% to 80% in about 30 minutes, making longer trips more convenient and stress-free.
Modern, Technology-Focused Interior
Inside, the Toyota bZ 2026 features a redesigned cabin focused on comfort and connectivity:
-
14-inch touchscreen display

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility

64-colour customizable ambient lighting
-
Dual Qi wireless chargers

Premium materials and refined finishes
Every element has been designed to create an intuitive and comfortable driving experience, whether commuting daily or travelling longer distances.

-
Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection
-
Lane Tracing Assist
-
Adaptive Cruise Control
-
Blind Spot Monitoring
-
Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
These advanced driver-assistance features provide added confidence in all road and weather conditions.

-
