Is the Toyota bZ a good car?

The 2026 Toyota bZ is easier to recommend than its previous iteration because Toyota improved the formula while keeping the price comparatively affordable. The cabin’s comfortable seats and easy-to-use technology are clear strengths, and low cost of ownership adds to its appeal.

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

Recent expert reviews also point to a few recurring trade-offs: the driver display is poor, the driver monitoring system is irritating, and the ride can feel choppy on undulating pavement.
