FIRST LOOK AT TOYOTA'S NEW WAGON: HERE'S THE 2026 BZ WOODLAND OFF-ROAD MISSILE

EV Channels Review

The Toyota bZ Woodland marks a significant and welcome return of the wagon body style to Toyota's electric lineup, directly challenging the Subaru Trail Seeker. The reviewer praises its "hammerhead" styling, which is seen as cleaner and more attractive than the bZ4X and even the Subaru counterpart. Key highlights include its standard 375 horsepower AWD system, promising a 0-60 mph time of around 4.5 seconds, and a rugged aesthetic with 8.3 inches of ground clearance and standard roof rails. While the interior shares components with other Toyota/Lexus models, potentially aiding cost reduction, the reviewer notes the circular steering wheel as a positive differentiator over the Subaru. The estimated 260 miles of range and 30-minute 10-80% charging time are considered adequate but not class-leading. The reviewer expresses strong enthusiasm for the vehicle's design and utility, deeming it potentially the most "badass EV" in the current Toyota/Lexus range, despite some reservations about charging speed and range compared to competitors.
