Toyota hopes for a smoother start with its redesigned bZ all-electric SUV


Toyota has unveiled the 2026 bZ all-electric SUV, the successor to the bZ4X, featuring better range and more horsepower.

The change in name may be partly in hopes of distancing the new model in consumers’ minds from the original bZ4X, which began stateside sales in 2022, only to be met with recalls and buybacks. This model will come equipped with the now-standardized North American Charging Standard (NACS) outlet, first developed by Tesla.
