In this electrifying review by TheStraightPipes, the team takes on the refreshed 2026 Toyota BZ electric SUV, previously known as the B4 ZX. With a design reminiscent of the Toyota Crown Signia SUV, this electric beast boasts matching fender flares in select colors, giving it a unique and stylish look. Inside, changes abound with a new screen, center console, and gauge cluster, promising a fresh driving experience. However, the team confesses to missing out on test driving the B4 ZX or BZ4X due to some rather peculiar wheel issues, leaving them yearning for a taste of the RZ without a yolk.
As they hit the road, the BZ impresses with smooth acceleration and braking, along with standard heated seats, a heated steering wheel, and a generous screen featuring CarPlay. Safety is not compromised, thanks to safety sense 3.0, adaptive cruise, and lane centering, ensuring a secure ride. The BZ's winter readiness shines through with a heat pump and a radiant foot and leg heater option, catering to those chilly Canadian winters. With a 77 kWh battery providing an estimated 460 km of range, the BZ is a promising contender in the electric SUV arena.
The Limited trim's unique wheels and hub caps add a touch of flair, while recommended Continental True Contact Tour tires promise a smooth ride. Despite lacking a sunroof, the BZ offers ample trunk space, accommodating a child seat with ease. The sound system, even without the upgraded JBL option, delivers impressive audio quality, enhancing the driving experience. Priced around 5,000 Canadian more than its predecessor, the BZ's inclusion of CarPlay sets it apart from competitors, making it a compelling choice for those seeking an electric SUV with style and substance.
