Toyota’s Fully Electric SUV

The Toyota bZ is a battery-electric compact SUV built for buyers who want the utility and daily practicality of a crossover without a combustion engine. It charges at home overnight or at public fast-charging stations, and the driving experience reflects Toyota’s approach to building EVs around real-world reliability rather than maximum specification numbers.

For Monterey Bay drivers who commute along the coast, navigate Highway 1, or make regular runs between Santa Cruz and the greater Bay Area, the bZ fits the pattern of use that makes EV ownership straightforward rather than a planning exercise.

Three Trims

The XLE is the starting point, covering the core features buyers expect at this price tier: a touchscreen infotainment system, standard safety technology, and available all-wheel drive. It’s the right entry point for buyers who want the bZ experience without adding options they won’t use.

The Limited adds premium interior materials, additional technology content, and comfort features that make the longer-range use case more comfortable and connected.

The bZ Woodland is the outdoor-oriented build in the lineup. It adds increased ground clearance, available all-wheel drive tuned for off-pavement conditions, and exterior treatments built for buyers who want an electric SUV that holds up on unpaved routes as naturally as it does on city streets. Given the terrain accessible from Capitola, it’s worth a look for buyers who regularly head into the hills.

EV Incentives

California buyers may be eligible for federal and state EV incentive programs that reduce the effective purchase price of a new bZ. Eligibility and available amounts vary by buyer income, vehicle configuration, and program status. Our finance team can walk through what applies to your situation at the time of purchase.
