2026 Toyota bZ review

Toyota bZ: everyday electric done well enough. Illustrative review

8.0/10 OffLot expert score

The 2026 Toyota bZ is a strong contender in its class. Standard driver-assist suite; roomy second row and flexible cargo floor. Engine gets loud under hard acceleration and third row (where offered) is for kids, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $38,000, it lines up with most direct rivals.

Happy after a year

Bought it for the school runs and road trips and it has handled everything so far. Fuel economy has been close to the sticker in mixed driving.

★★★★☆Grace R. · Columbus, OH · 31 months owned
Would buy again

The cargo room is the standout. My only gripe is the touchscreen climate controls, which I knew going in.
