New 2026 Toyota bZ3X Price, Reviews, Engine

New 2026 Toyota bZ3X Price, Reviews, Engine   –  While Toyota pioneered the gas-electric hybrid, their next effort at an all-electric car is the brand-new bZ3X, set to debut in 2026. I called the one-of-a-kind vehicle, which goes by the name Beyond Zero 4WD Crossover, the thriving forest, so I could remember it better when it was new. The two base models only come with FWD, even though that’s what the name suggests.  New 2026 Toyota bZ3X Price

Subaru, makers of the almost identical Solterra (offered exclusively with all-wheel drive), were involved in its development as part of a joint venture. My LE tester costs $51,880, while the base FWD-only L model starts at $46,880. Before any tax refunds are applied, both of these prices include a non-negotiable delivery fee of $1,890. For $56,880 you may get the all-wheel-drive (AWD) XLE, and for $64,640 you can get the Technology package. At this time, the bZ3X can only be purchased in Quebec and British Columbia.

New 2026 Toyota bZ3X Redesign and Update Plan

Exterior and Interior

The standard features of the base model bZ3X L include an eight-inch touchscreen, USB Type-A and Type-C charging ports, cloth seats, automatic climate control with dual zones, heated mirrors, variable intermittent wipers, and auto-leveling LED headlights. My next-level LE model had a 12.3-inch center screen rather than the eight-inch one; it also included a motorized tailgate, heated front seats and the steering wheel, under-dash radiant leg-and-foot warmers, and rain-sensing wipers.  New 2026 Toyota bZ3X Price

Plush amenities found on the XLE include a panoramic sunroof, an auto-dimming mirror, fabric and imitation leather upholstery, a cargo privacy cover, and a wireless charger. A hands-free tailgate, ventilated front seats, an adjustable driver’s seat, advanced parking assistance, and 20-inch wheels are all part of the optional Technology package, which improves this.

New 2026 Toyota bZ3X Specs

The bZ3X’s rear legroom is greater than those of all-electric rivals like the Nissan Ariya and Subaru Solterra, but being less than the 858 liters found in the Volkswagen ID.4. As should be standard equipment in any SUV, the liftover is low, and hooks are provided for attaching shopping bags. Because the battery pack is housed in the engine compartment, a trunk is unnecessary. There is no glove box in the bZ3X, which is unusual compared to other cars. It is said that this is done to create space for the radiant leg-and-foot warmer. Still, there’s an open bin with compartments on top of it under the center console for storage.  New 2026 Toyota bZ3X Price

Engine and Performance

An electric motor producing 196 pound-feet of torque and 201 horsepower (150 kW) powers the front wheels of the bZ3X L and LE. A single-speed automatic transmission is also included on the bZ3X LE and L models. Identical to the Subaru Solterra, but with 229 pound-feet of torque instead of 207 horsepower, this is the Volkswagen ID.4. The rear-wheel-drive-only Kia EV6 has more power and torque than both of them, with 225 horsepower and 320 pound-feet, respectively. Selecting the bZ3X with two motors and all-wheel drive results in a combined 214 hp and 248 lb-ft of torque.

My tester did all I needed it to, even if it was not as powerful as the AWD version. It has the guts to pass when needed, gets up to highway speeds fast, and accelerates sharply from a stop.  New 2026 Toyota bZ3X Price

New 2026 Toyota bZ3X Fuel Economy

The range of the bZ3X is 406 kilometers with front-wheel drive (FWD) and 367 kilometers with all-wheel drive (AWD). Several factors, including driving habits and local weather, will obviously play a role in determining that. At one point, when the gauge was fully charged on a sunny day, it showed an encouraging range of 455 kilometers. But the range dropped to 360 kilometers the second I turned on the climate control. Although I expected some reduction in range when the cabin was heated or cooled, the amount I saw was the most significant I’ve yet seen in an electric vehicle.  New 2026 Toyota bZ3X Price

The Nissan Ariya, the Chevrolet Bolt EUV, the Volkswagen ID.4, and the Kia EV6 are all comparable two-wheel drive vehicles with around the same number of kilometers rated (348, 397, 336, 443, and 499, respectively). When driven in a mixed manner, the bZ3X achieves 2.0 liters per hundred kilometers, 2.2 liters per hundred kilometers on the highway, and 1.8 liters per hundred kilometers in the city. (This is relative to its rivals to within a decimal point, when comparing the electrical energy to the right quantity of gasoline energy for liters equivalent.)

New 2026 Toyota bZ3X Safety Features

One among these was the revised side-impact test, which now more faithfully mimics the effects of being hit by a much bigger SUV. Regardless, receiving a “Poor” headlamp grade disqualifies it from one of the most prestigious awards given by the group.

Complete with the mandatory backup camera, lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control, and emergency front braking, all trim levels come standard on all new vehicles. Nevertheless, the XLE and LE trim levels are the only ones that come with blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic warning. Also included at this top specification level are emergency rear brakes.  New 2026 Toyota bZ3X Price

New 2026 Toyota bZ3X Price and Release Date

The base price of the bZ3X L AWD starts at $46,880 while the base price of the LE FWD starts at $51,880. The two available all-wheel-drive trims are the XLE ($56,880) and the XLE Technology ($64,640). This Toyota-Subaru relative is only offered with all-wheel drive and costs between $56,290 and $64,090.  New 2026 Toyota bZ3X Price

Starting prices for the Volkswagen ID.4, Kia EV6, and Nissan Ariya are $49,000, $49,995, and around $52,500, respectively. The Chevrolet Bolt EUV is less costly than a number of other two-wheel-drive automobiles. Delivery is already included in all of these prices, but any potential subsidies are not. Although electric vehicles are still not cheap, the 2026 Toyota bZ3X is priced cheaply compared to other vehicles in its class. While driving my tester, I didn’t feel like I was in a vehicle that cost over $52,000. If you’re ready to plug it in, you should check out Toyota’s first electric vehicle.
