Quick answer: The 2027 Toyota bZ Woodland is a midsize battery-electric SUV with 375 horsepower, standard dual-motor all-wheel drive, 8.4 inches of ground clearance and a 74.7-kWh battery. In the United States, the base model starts at $45,380 MSRP; Premium starts at $47,480 MSRP, before processing, handling and other charges. Toyota lists an EPA-estimated 281-mile range with the standard all-season tires, falling to 260 miles with the optional all-terrain tires. The model offers a manufacturer-rated towing capacity of up to 3,500 pounds.

2027 Toyota bZ Woodland specs: the numbers that matter

Toyota’s August 5, 2026 U.S. model-year release says the 2027 bZ Woodland carries over the preceding model’s technical specifications and adds another model year of availability. It is not the standard Toyota bZ and it is not the smaller C-HR EV. The Woodland emphasizes more ground clearance, load space and selectable traction-control modes rather than maximum highway efficiency.

281 miles versus 260 miles: how much range do all-terrain tires cost?

On Toyota’s U.S. figures, the change from standard all-season tires to available all-terrain tires is associated with 21 fewer EPA-rated miles. That is about 7.5% less than the 281-mile standard-tire rating (21 ÷ 281). This percentage is a comparison of published ratings, not a measured efficiency penalty on a particular journey or a prediction that every all-terrain tire loses exactly 7.5%.

The distinction is particularly useful for drivers shopping this vehicle for outdoor use. All-terrain tires may suit selected surfaces, but the tradeoff is not hypothetical: the official range label changes with the option. For a weekend drive involving highway miles and a short unpaved access road, ask whether the tire option is genuinely needed rather than assuming a rugged EV always requires it.

Temperature, elevation, towing, drive mode and trip speed can change actual range even when the tires are unchanged. Our elevation-and-EV-energy explainer helps separate the effects of hills from the published battery range.

How capable is the bZ Woodland off pavement?

The standard AWD system places electric motors at the front and rear axles. Toyota also lists X-MODE and Grip Control to help manage low-speed traction in difficult conditions. There is 8.4 inches of ground clearance and standard roof rails, plus an available all-terrain tire option.

These features help explain the vehicle’s positioning, but they are not evidence that it can safely cross any trail. Ground clearance does not provide full approach-angle, departure-angle or underbody-protection information, and a vehicle’s traction technology does not override tire grip or road conditions. Drivers should consult the owner’s manual for water, terrain and load restrictions.

Can a 2027 Toyota bZ Woodland tow 3,500 pounds?

Toyota lists up to 3,500 pounds of towing capacity. This is a maximum manufacturer rating, not an indication that every trailer or loading arrangement is permissible. The actual setup must also comply with hitch, tongue-weight, payload and equipment limits in the vehicle’s documentation. A trailer can materially affect aerodynamic drag and electricity use. The published 281-mile EPA driving range is not a towing-range rating; no specific distance with a 3,500-pound trailer can be reliably inferred from it.

Before committing to an extended towing trip, verify charging sites that physically accommodate a vehicle and trailer, identify backup stops and account for the range impact of the actual load. Our EV road-trip checklist offers a useful starting framework.

Base versus Premium: what changes, and what stays the same?

Toyota lists $45,380 as the base Woodland MSRP and $47,480 for Woodland Premium, a $2,100 difference in the published U.S. starting prices. Both grades retain standard dual-motor AWD, the same stated 375-hp combined output and an EPA-estimated 281-mile range on their standard all-season tires. These are not dealer out-the-door prices.

The base trim includes a 14-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen, heated front and outboard rear seats, heated steering wheel, dual Qi-compatible wireless charging pads, roof rails and Toyota Safety Sense 3.0. Premium adds features such as a nine-speaker JBL audio system, ventilated front seats, driver-seat memory, a digital rearview mirror and a fixed panoramic glass roof with power sunshade. Confirm option availability on a particular build; those comfort features do not change the AWD powertrain’s listed output.

2027 bZ Woodland charging: NACS, adapters and cold-weather preparation

The native NACS port is paired with an 11-kW onboard AC charger and a standard dual-voltage 120/240-volt portable charging cable. Toyota says a compatible public DC fast charger can take the battery from 10% to 80% in around 30 minutes under ideal conditions. Real sessions can take longer due to station power, temperature or battery state of charge; the quoted interval is not a promise of zero-to-full charging.

Toyota also specifies included SAE J1772 and CCS1 adapters for charging compatibility, plus battery preconditioning and Plug & Charge support at participating networks. In Toyota’s published feature notes, certain automated functions depend on connected-service trials or subscriptions and available mobile-network coverage; verify requirements before assuming every network will activate automatically. For the difference between a NACS plug and network authorization, read our Tesla Supercharger/NACS compatibility guide.

For home installation planning, see hardwired versus plug-in Level 2 chargers and calculating the full home charging bill. A 74.7-kWh pack rating is not the same thing as the metered electricity used in any single charging session.

When does the 2027 bZ Woodland arrive in U.S. dealerships?

Toyota’s August 2026 announcement said the 2027 model was expected in U.S. dealerships later that year. That manufacturer expectation should not be treated as a guarantee of availability in every ZIP code on the same date. Contact a local Toyota retailer for inventory and the price of a specified vehicle. Canadian-market prices, equipment and range formats differ; do not convert Canadian launch prices into advertised U.S. MSRP figures.

Who should compare this model against the standard bZ or C-HR?

The Woodland has a distinct use case: cargo capacity, roof rails, more ground clearance, standard AWD and a quoted towing rating. A buyer who mostly drives alone and prioritizes maximum efficiency can compare it with Toyota’s standard bZ or the smaller C-HR EV. A buyer with bulky gear, occasional unpaved access roads or a supported trailer setup can begin with the Woodland’s capability information, while still comparing real charging access and total purchase price.

In every comparison, verify the exact trim, wheels and official test cycle. An EPA rating should not be mixed without explanation with a European WLTP range figure. Also, neither range rating is a substitute for an independently measured winter road test.
