The 2027 Toyota bZ is now officially on sale, with pricing and specifications announced for both the US and Canadian markets. Building on the success of the previous model year, Toyota has refined its electric SUV with improved range, more power, and enhanced technology. The new bZ will begin arriving at US dealerships in September 2026.
2027 Toyota bZ Pricing and Trims
The 2027 Toyota bZ starts at $34,980 (~AUD 49,209) in the US, with a delivery fee of $1,595 (~AUD 2,244), bringing the total starting price to $36,576 (~AUD 51,454). In Canada, the base price is $33,167 (~AUD 46,658). The model is available in XLE and Limited trims, with both Front Wheel Drive (FWD) and All Wheel Drive (AWD) options.
The FWD Plus model, offering a longer range, is priced at $37,980 (~AUD 53,429) before delivery. Canadian buyers can choose from three grades, also with FWD or AWD.
Battery Options, Power, and Range
Toyota offers the 2027 bZ with two battery packs: a 57.7 kWh unit for the base XLE FWD, and a 74.7 kWh pack for the XLE AWD, FWD Plus, and Limited trims. FWD models deliver either 165 hp (XLE FWD) or 221 hp (XLE FWD Plus and Limited FWD), while AWD variants produce a combined 338 hp.
The base XLE FWD has an EPA-estimated range of up to 236 miles (~380 km), while the FWD Plus model reaches up to 314 miles (~505 km). In Canada, the base XLE FWD provides up to 468 km (~291 miles) of range, and AWD versions with a 77 kWh battery also deliver up to 468 km (~291 miles).
Charging and Technology Features
A built-in NACS charge port allows drivers to access Tesla Superchargers without an adapter. Charging from 10% to 80% takes around 30 minutes. The 2027 bZ also features battery preconditioning for improved cold-weather charging and Plug & Charge for easier payment.
Inside, the SUV is equipped with a 14-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a dual Qi wireless phone charger, ambient lighting, a top-mount Multi-Information Display (MID), and a 7-inch customizable instrument cluster. All models are Toyota Digital Key-capable, enabling smartphone-based access.
Limited Trim Upgrades
Upgrading to the Limited trim gains 20-inch alloy wheels, a panoramic fixed-glass moonroof, heated rear seats, SofTex-trimmed seating, and a digital rearview mirror. A premium nine-speaker JBL sound system is also available as an option on the Limited grade.
Why this matters
The 2027 Toyota bZ continues to build on Toyota’s momentum in the electric SUV segment, following its position as America’s fourth top-selling EV in the first half of the year. With competitive pricing, improved range, and access to the Tesla Supercharger network, the bZ is positioned to appeal to a wide range of EV buyers in North America.
The inclusion of features like battery preconditioning, Plug & Charge, and a comprehensive suite of interior technology demonstrates Toyota’s focus on addressing key concerns for electric vehicle owners.
What this means for buyers
With the 2027 bZ now arriving at dealerships, buyers have access to the latest updates and features without a significant price increase over the previous year. Those interested in the best value may also find attractive deals on remaining 2026 models as inventory is cleared.
Shoppers should consider their range and feature needs when choosing between the XLE and Limited trims, as well as between FWD and AWD configurations.
