2027 Toyota bZ Woodland: Capability, Cargo and Range
2027 Toyota bZ Woodland: Capability, Cargo and Range Explained
Standard all-wheel drive, 8.4 inches of ground clearance and up to 3,500 pounds of towing capacity. A closer look at Toyota’s rugged electric SUV.
The 2027 Toyota bZ Woodland is back for its second year, and Toyota says its features and specifications remain unchanged from 2026. Toyota describes it as blending midsize SUV utility with electric performance, with a rugged design and an adventure-ready twist on the bZ family. For High Desert drivers who spend weekends hauling gear, this guide covers what the Woodland adds, where its limits are and how the tire choice affects range.
Manufacturer figures from Toyota. Towing capacity, driving range and other figures vary by equipment and conditions.
Built for the Trailhead
Every bZ Woodland has all-wheel drive, with electric motors in the front and rear eAxles, and it comes standard with X-MODE. According to Toyota, X-MODE is an AWD function that helps optimize brake control and power delivery at the wheels for enhanced control and traction.
The system also includes Grip Control. When activated at low speeds, it modulates motor power delivery to enhance capability in adverse conditions, and Toyota says it is designed to react to road surface characteristics and hold a constant speed so the driver can stay focused on what is ahead.
- Standard AWD with X-MODE
- Grip Control for low-speed traction
- 8.4 inches of ground clearance
- 375 total system horsepower
- 0-60 mph in an estimated 4.5 seconds
- Battery pack flat under the floor for a low center of gravity
A fair expectation to set: the Woodland is a crossover SUV with extra clearance and traction aids, not a dedicated rock crawler. It is well suited to dirt roads, trailhead access and weekend trips, and it is worth matching the terrain to the vehicle.
Made for Gear: Cargo, Roof Rails and Towing
This is where the Woodland separates itself most from the standard bZ. Toyota says it adds nearly 6 inches of cargo length and nearly 1 inch of cargo height, for up to 74.3 cubic feet of rear cargo area with the second-row seats folded flat. Roof rails are standard on both grades, and a 120V/1500W outlet in the cargo area can power small gear and accessories.
- Up to 74.3 cubic feet of rear cargo area
- Roof rails standard
- Up to 3,500 pounds of towing capacity
- Matte black overfenders
- 18-inch aluminum wheels with black aero covers
About that towing rating: up to 3,500 pounds suits a small trailer, a bike or gear carrier or a light utility load. It is not a heavy-duty tow vehicle, so if you pull something larger, plan accordingly.
Tires and Range: The Trade-Off
The Woodland uses a 74.7-kWh battery, and its manufacturer-estimated range depends on the tire you choose. All-terrain tires are available on both grades.
| Tires | Manufacturer-estimated range |
|---|---|
| All-season tires | 281 miles |
| Available all-terrain tires | 260 miles |
Driving ranges vary depending on speed, outside temperature, accessory use, how and where you drive, charging habits and other factors.
That is a difference of 21 miles. If most of your driving is pavement, all-season tires give the longest estimated range. If you head for dirt roads and rougher surfaces regularly, the all-terrain option may be worth the shorter estimate. Speed and temperature also matter, and Toyota lists both among the factors that change range.

The Woodland comes in two grades, both with standard AWD and SofTex-trimmed seating.

Seeing around you
Both grades include a Panoramic View Monitor with Multi-Terrain Monitor and a 360-degree overhead view, plus front and rear parking assist with automatic braking. These are useful features at a crowded trailhead or when you are maneuvering around obstacles. Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 is also standard on both grades.
Charging and Tech in Brief
The Woodland has a standard NACS port. Under ideal conditions, Toyota says DC fast charging can take the battery from 10% to 80% in around 30 minutes, and battery preconditioning helps optimize fast-charging performance in cold weather. An 11-kW onboard charger, a standard 120-240V home charging cable and J1772 and CCS1 adapters are included. A 14-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen is standard, and Toyota’s 8-year/100,000-mile coverage applies to the traction battery. Connected services come with 5-year trials and require a subscription afterward.
