2026 Toyota bZ Woodland: Airmont Buyers Guide
Quick Answer: The 2026 bZ Woodland
Woodland is an all-new trim for 2026 — the first bZ built for buyers who tow, haul gear, or want a genuine off-road option in an EV. It starts at $45,300 MSRP for Base and $47,400 for Premium, plus $1,450 destination, and it's standard AWD only, with no FWD option. The payoff: 375 combined horsepower, a 396-lb-ft torque figure, 8.3 inches of ground clearance, and a 3,500-pound tow rating — none of it available on the standard bZ XLE or Limited. EPA range runs 260 to 281 miles depending on tire choice (all-terrain tires trade a little range for grip). Premium adds JBL audio, ventilated front seats with memory, a panoramic moonroof, and front radiant heaters. Interstate Toyota is bringing Woodland to 411 Route 59 in Airmont.
The bZ Toyota built for people who actually use an SUV
Every other 2026 bZ is a city-and-highway EV first. Woodland is different by design: standard dual-motor AWD (there's no FWD Woodland, full stop), X-Mode traction management and Grip Mode low-speed torque control borrowed from Toyota's off-road playbook, matte-black wheel arch cladding, and a wagon-style roofline that stretches the body about 5.6 inches longer than a standard bZ. The number that separates it from every other bZ in the lineup, though, is towing — 3,500 pounds, versus zero official tow rating on XLE or Limited. That's enough for a small camper, a boat, or a loaded utility trailer, something no other electric Toyota in this lineup can claim.
None of that comes free on the spec sheet: Woodland's EPA range tops out at 281 miles on the standard all-season tire and drops to 260 miles if you're running the optional all-terrain tire, both below XLE FWD Plus's 314-mile best-in-lineup figure. That's the honest tradeoff for the extra ground clearance, cladding, and towing hardware — Woodland isn't the range leader, it's the capability leader.
Base or Premium
Toyota builds Woodland as essentially one well-equipped grade with Premium as an upgrade package rather than a wholly separate trim, which shows in what's shared: navigation, a power liftgate, adaptive cruise control, heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel, keyless entry, 18-inch wheels, and the full 375-hp AWD powertrain come standard on both. Premium, at $2,100 more, adds JBL premium audio in place of the standard 6-speaker system, a panoramic fixed-glass roof with power sunshade, a digital rearview mirror, ventilated front seats with driver memory settings, and front radiant foot-and-leg heaters — genuinely useful on a cold Rockland County morning waiting for cabin heat to build.
First-year availability
As a brand-new trim for model year 2026, Woodland doesn't have its own owner reviews at Interstate Toyota yet — worth knowing going in. What the dealership's broader EV-buyer feedback does show is a team that's used to walking first-time EV buyers through the differences between configurations. Sebastian W., an 11-year repeat customer who recently bought an all-electric Toyota there, put it this way: "This place builds relationships and puts those relationships first... These people have been taking care of me for 11 years and I'll never ever ever go anywhere else." That's the kind of relationship-first approach worth leaning on for a genuinely new trim like Woodland — ask the sales team directly about current allocation and configuration availability rather than assuming a specific color or Premium package is sitting on the lot.
Frequently asked questions
Can the bZ Woodland tow?
Yes — 3,500 pounds when properly equipped, the only tow rating in the 2026 bZ lineup. XLE and Limited are not rated to tow.
Is there a front-wheel-drive Woodland?
No. Woodland is standard dual-motor AWD only, on both Base and Premium. FWD is available only on the standard bZ XLE.
How much less range does Woodland get compared to a regular bZ?
Woodland tops out at 281 miles (all-season tire) or 260 miles (all-terrain tire), below XLE FWD Plus's 314-mile best figure and XLE AWD's 288 miles. The extra ground clearance, cladding, and towing hardware add weight that trades against range.
What's the difference between the all-season and all-terrain tire options?
Both are EPA-tested configurations, not just a marketing claim: the standard 235/60R18 all-season tire returns 281 miles and 117 combined MPGe, while the optional 235/65R18 all-terrain tire drops to 260 miles and 109 combined MPGe in exchange for more off-road grip.
Is Woodland worth the premium over a Limited AWD?
Depends entirely on whether you tow or want the off-road hardware. Woodland's $45,300 starting price is close to Limited AWD's $45,300, but you're trading Limited's panoramic roof and premium interior touches (unless you step up to Woodland Premium) for X-Mode, higher ground clearance, and a 3,500-lb tow rating Limited doesn't have.
Ask about Woodland allocation
A brand-new, first-year trim like this moves quickly once word gets around a region. Reach out to Interstate Toyota, 411 Route 59 in Airmont, to check current Woodland stock and configuration options.
MSRP excludes the $1,450 destination charge, taxes, title, registration, and dealer-installed options; the dealer sets the actual selling price. Range, MPGe, torque, and towing figures are EPA or manufacturer estimates; real-world results will differ, particularly in cold weather or under load. Equipment and availability subject to change — confirm current specs and allocation timing with Interstate Toyota.
