New Toyota bZ for Sale nearPorterville, CA

Is the Toyota bZ a good car?

The 2026 Toyota bZ is a more appealing electric SUV than its previous iteration because Toyota has improved the formula in several meaningful ways 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 address some of the biggest concerns shoppers had with the earlier version. Toyota also shortened the name for 2026 and tidied up the styling inside and out, giving the bZ a cleaner, more modern feel.

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

The main trade-offs are a poor driver display, an irritating driver monitoring system, and safety ratings that fall short of a Top Safety Pick designation.

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