New Toyota bZ for Sale nearMaxwell, IA

Is the Toyota bZ a good car?

The 2026 Toyota bZ is a more compelling electric SUV than its predecessor because Toyota has addressed several of the old model’s biggest weaknesses while keeping the price comparatively affordable. It now offers more power, over 300 miles of range, a standard NACS charging port with a CCS adapter, and Plug & Charge capability, all of which make it easier to live with as a daily EV. Toyota also updated the styling inside and out and added a larger infotainment screen, giving the cabin a fresher feel.

That improved package is backed by some clear everyday strengths. The seats are comfortable, the technology is easy to use, and low cost of ownership should appeal to buyers looking for a practical EV rather than a flashy one. The 2026 Toyota bZ is not perfect, though: the driver display is poor, the driver monitoring system can be irritating, and it is not a Top Safety Pick. Even so, the refresh makes it a much more competitive choice than before.

Expert reviews rate the 2026 model among the highest across all years.

The main trade-offs are the poor driver display, the irritating driver monitoring system, and the lack of a Top Safety Pick award.

33.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
