car_truckSilent, instant torque and a calm, tech-rich cabin turn every urban errand and highway merge in this 2026 Toyota bZ XLE SUV into a smoother, easier experience—without a drop of gasoline. Finished in sophisticated 0089 Wind Chill, this front-wheel drive, all-electric BEV combines Toyota’s newest battery technology with intuitive driver assistance and a deeply connected cockpit.
Under the hood, an advanced electric powertrain delivers responsive acceleration through a front-mounted, transverse electric motor, supported by a lithium-ion traction battery and a dedicated heat pump for efficient climate control. One-pedal regenerative braking with driver-selectable regen levels lets you slow smoothly while recapturing energy, and Plug and Charge capability simplifies public charging sessions. Hill Start Assist Control, Vehicle Stability Control, all-speed ABS with four-channel braking, and traction control help keep everything composed in changing conditions.
Android Auto and Apple CarPlay take center stage in this cabin, transforming the 14-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen into an extension of your smartphone.
Wireless Android Auto lets you bring Google Maps, podcasts, and your favorite apps into a large, crisp interface without juggling cables, with Google POI data also integrated into the Drive Connect Cloud Navigation (3-year trial) for real-time traffic-aware routing and accurate destination search. Voice-activated audio, steering wheel controls, and a Drive Connect Intelligent Assistant (3-year trial) make it easy to search for charging stations, update routes, or select music simply by speaking natural commands.
Apple CarPlay integration is equally seamless: connect wirelessly and mirror your iPhone’s key apps right onto the primary touchscreen, placing Apple Maps, Messages, and streaming services in clear reach while you keep your hands on the SofTex leatherette steering wheel. Siri-based voice interaction, combined with speed-sensitive volume and standard-grade six-speaker audio, keeps entertainment and communication fluid on every drive.
Beyond smartphone integration, this bZ XLE is loaded with connectivity.
Toyota App access, Remote Connect (3-year trial) for climate preconditioning, Smart device remote start, and Remote Connect Digital Key (3-year trial) let you use your phone to unlock, start, and ready the vehicle before you step outside. Service Connect (5-year trial) helps track service intervals, while SafetyConnect® provides an integrated SOS system and vehicle tracking for added confidence.
Inside, the cabin is designed for comfort and practicality. Heated front bucket seats with SofTex cloth and leatherette upholstery, 8-way power driver adjustment including power lumbar, and a 6-way front passenger seat create supportive seating positions. Dual-zone automatic climate control with rear ducts, a cabin air filter, and illuminated entry enhance everyday usability. The rear bench offers 60/40 folding seatbacks, manual reclining, three head restraints, and a centre armrest with additional beverage holders, while the cargo area includes a roll-up cover, tie-downs, concealed storage, and a tire mobility kit.
A full digital instrumentation display with a 7.0-inch gauge cluster screen provides clear readouts for traction battery level, regeneration status, ECO feedback, and trip information, complemented by warnings for tire pressure, battery charge, washer fluid, and open cargo area.
Over-the-air update capability helps keep select systems current without dealer visits.
Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0 anchors an extensive safety suite: Pre-Collision System with Brake Assist and Low-Light Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Lane Tracing Assist, Road Sign Assist, Evasion Assist, Emergency Driving Stop System, and Automatic High Beams. Blind Spot Monitor, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Intelligent Clearance Sonar with front and rear parking sensors, a rear camera, Safe Exit Alert, Vehicle Proximity Notification System for pedestrians, and multiple airbags—including driver and passenger knee airbags—add layered protection.
Exterior details such as LED projector headlights with auto-leveling, LED daytime running lights, front headlight washers, 18-inch painted aluminum wheels with all-season tires, black bodyside cladding, and a rear lip spoiler give this SUV a modern, purposeful stance.
With only 3 kilometres on the odometer and its advanced electric drivetrain, this new 2026 Toyota bZ XLE stands out as a forward-thinking choice for drivers ready to plug in and move ahead.
