Performance

The 2026 Toyota bZ is designed to make the switch to electric driving feel less intimidating, with improved battery and enhanced driving range, it’s easy to confidently drive your daily commute, run some weekend errands, or road trip around Alberta.
The bZ also eliminates the need for oil changes and many other maintenance items associated with traditional gas-powered vehicles. Combine this with the electricity cost vs. high fuel prices, it’s an SUV that can help save you a lot of money in the long run.

The modern dial-type shifter replaces a traditional gear lever with a simple rotary dial. Just turn it to select Drive, Reverse, or Neutral for a clean, uncluttered driving experience that feels right at home in an all-electric vehicle.

The bZ isn’t just efficient, it’s fun to drive too. The available All-Wheel Drive (AWD) models feature dual electric motors to provide extra traction when roads become slippery. Toyota also positions the battery low in the vehicle, which helps improve stability and gives the bZ a more planted feel when cornering, merging onto highways, or driving in windy conditions.
For added confidence, available X-MODE® and Grip Control are designed to help manage traction in challenging conditions like snow, slush, mud, and gravel roads. Combined with instant electric power delivery, the bZ feels responsive and capable no matter the season.
Level 1: Plug In At Home
Using a standard 120V household outlet, level 1 charging is the simplest way to charge your bZ. It’s best suited for drivers with a shorter daily commute and can leave the vehicle plugged in overnight or for extended periods.
Leve 2: Faster Everyday Charging
Level 2 charging (240-volt AC outlet) is the most practical option for many EV owners. It’s available at home when professionally installed, or at public charging stations. You can fully recharge the battery in 5.5-7 hours, making it easy to start the day full a full charge.
Level 3: Quick Charging on the Go
Level 3 DC fast charging can recharge the battery from 10% to 80% in about 28 minutes under ideal conditions. It’s convenient for when you’re out and about, on longer road trips, or just for when you need to quickly get back on the road.
Design Features

The 2026 Toyota bZ is packed with little features that make everyday life easier. Every model comes equipped with a Smart Key system and push-button start, so you can unlock and start your vehicle without digging through your pockets or bag for your keys.
Loading up is just as simple thanks to the available power liftgate with kick sensor. When your hands are full of groceries, sports equipment, or shopping bags, a quick motion under the rear bumper can open the liftgate automatically, making loading and unloading much more convenient.

Whether you’re headed to the River Valley with your bike, loading up for a weekend in the mountains, or making a run to the hardware store, the 2026 bZ gives you the versatility that SUV shoppers are looking for.
The fold-flat rear seats make it easy to create extra cargo space when needed, and the deep reclining passenger seat helps add flexibility for those longer items like a few snowboards or 2 mountain bikes.

Features like the blind spot monitor & safe exit assist help keep an eye on vehicles and cyclists that might be harder to spot.
For drivers who dread parallel parking downtown or squeezing into a tight parking stall, the available Advanced Park system can help take the stress out of the process. With the push of a button, the system can automatically steer, accelerate, brake, and shift the vehicle into a parking space, making parking easier and more convenient.
