First Look at the 2026 Toyota bZ at Limbaugh Toyota in Birmingham, AL

Get ready, Birmingham – Toyota’s electric future is taking shape, and it’s looking bold, smart, and seriously fun to drive. Say hello to the 2026 Toyota bZ, the next chapter in Toyota’s Beyond Zero (bZ) lineup. If you’ve been waiting for an electric vehicle (EV) that combines everyday practicality with Toyota’s legendary reliability, this is it.

Whether you're commuting through Five Points, running errands in Hoover, or road-tripping across Alabama, the 2026 Toyota bZ is built to fit your life, with zero emissions and plenty of style.

What Is the Toyota bZ?

The “bZ” stands for Beyond Zero – Toyota’s vision for a carbon-neutral future. The bZ lineup includes fully electric vehicles designed from the ground up to go beyond just reducing emissions. The 2026 Toyota bZ expands this family with a sleeker design, advanced performance, and even more intelligent features.

Unlike gas-powered models with EV versions tacked on, the bZ vehicles are born electric, which means better efficiency, more interior space, and a futuristic driving experience from the first mile.

Sleek, Stylish, and Futuristic

From the outside, the 2026 bZ is unmistakably modern. Toyota hasn’t just built another bland EV – they’ve gone all-in on bold lines, aerodynamic curves, and a fresh design language that sets the bZ apart from anything else on the road.

Expect a wide stance, sharp LED lighting, and a confident profile that turns heads in Birmingham traffic. This isn’t a science experiment – it’s an EV that looks like it belongs in your driveway.

All-Electric Performance with Everyday Confidence

Toyota hasn’t released the full specs yet, but the 2026 bZ is expected to build on the solid foundation of the previous model, with:

• Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) models: 221 horsepower (higher trims)
• All-Wheel Drive (AWD) models: 338 horsepower
• Battery options: 57.7-kWh and 74.7-kWh
• Estimated range: Up to 314 miles for the XLE FWD Plus trim

Whether you're navigating the city or exploring outside Jefferson County, the bZ is designed to get you there with no gas, no oil changes, and no tailpipe emissions.

Next-Gen Interior and Technology

Inside the 2026 Toyota bZ, you’ll find a cabin that feels more like a high-tech lounge than a typical crossover. Toyota is leaning into its EV roots with:

• 14.0-inch touchscreen display with built-in navigation and voice commands
• Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ capabilities
• Smart climate control that focuses airflow only where it’s needed
• Two wireless smartphone chargers
• Six-speaker or optional nine-speaker audio system

Advanced Safety, Standard

Like every Toyota, the bZ comes loaded with safety tech. Expect the latest version of Toyota Safety Sense™, which may include:

• Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection
• Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
• Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist
• Road Sign Assist
• Blind Spot Monitor

Toyota doesn’t believe safety should be an upgrade – it’s standard, always.
