The 2027 Toyota bZ is here for the U.S. market. Toyota’s electric SUV returns with the same basic package as the previous model, but it still offers useful range, all-wheel drive, fast charging, and a starting price below $35,000.
The 2027 bZ is expected to reach Toyota dealers in September 2026. It comes in XLE and Limited trims, with both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive available.
2027 Toyota bZ Price
The 2027 Toyota bZ starts at $34,980 for the XLE front-wheel-drive model. This price is the MSRP and does not include the dealer processing and handling fee.
Toyota’s 2027 bZ pricing is only slightly higher than the 2026 model. The big news is that Toyota has kept the starting price relatively low while continuing to offer a long-range version.
For U.S. buyers, the starting price and range options look like this:
| 2027 Toyota bZ Version | Battery | Range | Drive | Starting MSRP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| XLE FWD | 57.7 kWh | 236 miles | FWD | $34,980 |
| XLE FWD Plus | 74.7 kWh | 314 miles | FWD | $37,980 |
| XLE AWD | 74.7 kWh | 288 miles | AWD | Not listed in base price |
| Limited FWD | 74.7 kWh | 299 miles | FWD | Varies by configuration |
| Limited AWD | 74.7 kWh | 299 miles | AWD | Varies by configuration |
The listed range figures are Toyota’s manufacturer estimates and can change depending on weather, speed, driving conditions, and other factors.
How Much Range Does the 2027 Toyota bZ Get?
Range is one of the strongest parts of the new bZ. The longest-range version is the XLE FWD Plus, which is rated at up to 314 miles on a full charge.
The base XLE FWD has the smaller 57.7-kWh battery and is rated for up to 236 miles. Models with the larger 74.7-kWh battery offer between 288 and 314 miles, depending on the version.
For someone who mostly drives around town or commutes to work, even the base model can offer useful daily range. Buyers who take longer trips may prefer the 314-mile version.
Two Battery Options Are Available
Toyota offers two battery sizes for the 2027 bZ. The base XLE FWD uses a 57.7-kWh battery, while the other versions use a larger 74.7-kWh battery.
The larger battery is used in the XLE FWD Plus, XLE AWD, Limited FWD, and Limited AWD.
This gives buyers a choice between a lower starting price and more driving range.
AWD Model Makes 338 Horsepower
The 2027 bZ is not just focused on efficiency. The all-wheel-drive versions produce 338 total system horsepower, making them much more powerful than the front-wheel-drive models.
Front-wheel-drive versions produce either 165 horsepower in the base XLE or up to 221 horsepower in the XLE FWD Plus and Limited FWD.
AWD can also help provide more grip in rain, snow, and other conditions where extra traction is useful. Toyota also offers X-MODE and Grip-Control on AWD versions.
Charging Gets Easier
The 2027 bZ comes with a NACS charging port as standard. This is the same type of connector used by many fast-charging stations across the U.S.
Toyota says DC fast charging can take the battery from 10% to 80% in about 30 minutes under ideal conditions. The actual time can be different depending on temperature, charger power, battery condition, and other factors.
The bZ also includes battery preconditioning, which helps prepare the battery for faster charging.
What Does the Inside Look Like?
The 2027 bZ has a clean and modern cabin. A large 14-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen comes standard, along with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
The SUV also offers dual wireless phone charging, dual-zone climate control, heated front seats, and customizable interior lighting.
The Limited trim adds more comfort features, including heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and other premium equipment.
How Much Space Does It Have?
The bZ is designed to work as an everyday family SUV, not just as an electric commuter car.
Toyota lists 42.1 inches of front legroom and 35.3 inches of rear legroom. There is also up to 56.9 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded.
That makes the bZ practical for shopping, daily driving, and family trips.
Safety and Technology
Toyota continues to offer its latest safety technology in the 2027 bZ. The SUV also comes with a number of driver-assistance features designed to make everyday driving easier.
The available technology includes Toyota’s connected services, digital key capability, wireless phone charging, and the Toyota app for checking charging information and other vehicle functions.
The 14-inch touchscreen also gives the cabin a more modern feel without making the controls too complicated.
Is the 2027 Toyota bZ a Good Deal?
The 2027 bZ looks interesting for buyers who want an electric SUV without moving into the higher price range of many larger EVs.
Its biggest advantages are the available 314-mile range, standard NACS charging, available AWD, strong 338-horsepower AWD performance, and a starting MSRP of $34,980.
The biggest thing to remember is that the base model does not have the longest range. Buyers who want the full 314 miles will need to move up to the XLE FWD Plus.
The 2027 Toyota bZ is not a major redesign, but Toyota has kept the features that matter most to many EV buyers. It offers up to 314 miles of range, a starting price of $34,980, available AWD, up to 338 horsepower, and a standard NACS charging port.
For U.S. buyers looking for a practical electric SUV, the bZ could be a strong option, especially for those who want a long-range version without paying luxury-EV prices. Toyota expects the 2027 bZ to start arriving at U.S. dealerships in September 2026.
