2026 Toyota bZ Woodland Premium: Airmont Buyers Guide
Quick Answer: The bZ Woodland Premium
The top bZ Woodland grade starts at $47,400 MSRP ($48,850 with the $1,450 destination charge) — $2,100 over the base Woodland — and spends every dollar of that on cabin comfort rather than performance. The powertrain is identical to the base grade: 375 combined horsepower, standard AWD, 396 lb-ft of system torque, and 281 miles of EPA-estimated range on the standard tires. What the Premium adds is a panoramic fixed-glass roof, a 9-speaker JBL audio system, ventilated front seats with radiant foot-and-leg heating, a digital rearview mirror, and driver memory settings — the version to pick if you want the Woodland's off-road capability without giving up the creature comforts of a top trim.
What $2,100 actually buys
Every performance number on this page is identical to the base Woodland — same 375 hp, same 396 lb-ft, same 4.4-second 0-60, same 3,500-lb tow rating, same X-Mode and Grip Mode off-road software. The Premium's money goes entirely into the cabin. A panoramic fixed-glass roof with a power sunshade opens the interior up in a way that matters on the short, gray days of a lower Hudson Valley winter. The stock 6-speaker audio system is swapped for a 9-speaker JBL setup. A digital rearview mirror replaces the standard glass, which is a genuine visibility upgrade with three rows of cargo or passengers behind you. And the front seats go from heated to heated and ventilated, with radiant foot-and-leg heating added on top — the kind of feature you don't think you need until the first below-freezing commute on Route 59, at which point it's the reason you're glad you paid for Premium.
Interior, up close
The bZ Woodland's cabin redesign carries over unchanged between grades — a 14-inch Toyota Multimedia touchscreen, a 7-inch digital gauge cluster raised higher on the dash so the steering wheel doesn't block it, and SofTex faux-leather seating with standard all-weather floor mats and a cargo floor cover. On the Premium, that same layout gets the panoramic glass overhead and driver memory settings that recall seat position, mirrors, and climate preferences — useful in a household where more than one person drives the car.
Still the same off-road-ready EV underneath
It's worth repeating because it's easy to assume "Premium" means softer or more road-biased: it doesn't. Ground clearance stays at 8.4 inches, the matte-black wheel-arch cladding and raised roofline are unchanged, and the Premium can be ordered with the same optional 235/65R18 all-terrain tires as the base grade — which trade the standard tire's 281-mile range for 260 miles and a bit more bite off pavement. The EPA figures on the base 235/60R18 all-season tire — 127 city / 107 highway / 117 combined MPGe — apply here too, since neither grade changes the drivetrain or curb weight enough to move the number on its own EPA test.
What buyers say
Interstate Toyota's reputation for EV buying help extends across the bZ line — reviewers consistently single out the sales team's patience walking first-time EV owners through range and charging questions before they sign. One recent buyer summed up the overall experience: "Yani was really good in assisting me with getting my new bZ... made the transition from my old car to the new very easy and simple." With a top trim like the Premium, that same team can also walk you through which comfort features actually earn their keep for your commute versus which ones you'd be fine skipping — a conversation worth having before you commit to the $2,100 step up.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Woodland Premium faster or more capable off-road than the base grade?
No — power, torque, towing, ground clearance, and off-road traction software are identical between the two grades. The Premium's price difference is entirely comfort and audio equipment.
Does the Premium's panoramic roof cut into headroom?
Toyota doesn't publish a headroom delta specific to the roof glass, and we won't guess at a number that isn't documented — the honest answer is to sit in one at Interstate Toyota before deciding, especially if you're on the taller side.
Is the range different with the panoramic roof and JBL system?
The published EPA figures (281 miles standard tires, 260 with all-terrain tires) apply to both grades. Toyota hasn't published a separate Premium-specific range figure, so treat the numbers as consistent across trims.
What's the destination-inclusive price?
$48,850 — $47,400 MSRP plus the $1,450 destination charge — before tax, title, registration, and any options.
Can I get the all-terrain tires on the Premium?
Yes, the 235/65R18 all-terrain tire option is available on both Woodland grades, with the same range trade-off (260 miles vs. 281).
Compare before you decide
If the extra $2,100 is a stretch, the base Woodland guide covers everything the powertrain and off-road hardware do — which is identical here. And the pricing & leasing guide lays out what Rockland County's 8.375% sales tax adds to either sticker.
MSRP excludes the $1,450 destination charge plus taxes, title, registration, and dealer-installed options; the dealer sets the actual selling price. EPA range and MPGe figures are official ratings for the standard-tire configuration; real-world results vary with weather, driving style, and tire choice.
