For most of the past decade, a Toyota buyer who wanted a fully electric SUV had exactly one choice, and it wasn't a very good one. That has changed. Toyota now sells three electric SUVs in the United States: the updated 2027 bZ, the rugged 2027 bZ Woodland and the sporty 2027 C-HR. All three charge at Tesla Superchargers through a built-in NACS port, all three start under $48,000, and they overlap more than Toyota's marketing lets on.
That overlap is what makes choosing tricky. Below, we lay out prices, range, power, charging and cargo space for every version, using Toyota's own figures, and tell you which one fits which kind of driver.
All three ride on the same Toyota electric platform and, apart from the base bZ, share the same 74.7-kWh battery. The differences come down to size, power and how much you pay for all-wheel drive.
| Spec | 2027 bZ | 2027 bZ Woodland | 2027 C-HR |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starting price | $34,980 | $45,380 | $37,080 |
| Top price | $45,380 (Limited AWD) | $47,480 (Premium) | $39,080 (XSE) |
| Battery | 57.7 or 74.7 kWh | 74.7 kWh | 74.7 kWh |
| Range | 236–314 miles | 281 miles (260 on all-terrain tires) | 273–287 miles |
| Drive | FWD or AWD | AWD standard | AWD standard |
| Horsepower | 165 / 221 / 338 | 375 | 338 |
| 0–60 mph (Toyota est.) | Not published | 4.5 sec | 4.9 sec |
| Peak DC charging | 150 kW | Not published | 150 kW |
| Max cargo (seats folded) | 56.9 cu ft | 74.3 cu ft | 59.5 cu ft |
| Towing | Not advertised | 3,500 lb | Not advertised |
| Ground clearance | Not published | 8.4 in | Not published |
Prices are MSRP and exclude Toyota's $1,595 delivery, processing and handling fee. Ranges are Toyota's estimates. Where the EPA has rated a version differently, we note it below. The federal clean-vehicle tax credit ended on September 30, 2025, so these prices are what most buyers will actually pay before dealer discounts and lease deals.
The bZ is the renamed and heavily reworked successor to the bZ4X, and it is the only one of the three you can buy with front-wheel drive. That keeps its price down and its range up.
| bZ version | Price | Battery | Range | Power |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| XLE FWD | $34,980 | 57.7 kWh | 236 mi | 165 hp |
| XLE FWD Plus | $37,980 | 74.7 kWh | 314 mi | 221 hp |
| XLE AWD | $39,980 | 74.7 kWh | 288 mi | 338 hp |
| Limited FWD | $43,380 | 74.7 kWh | 299 mi | 221 hp |
| Limited AWD | $45,380 | 74.7 kWh | 278 mi (EPA) | 338 hp |
Toyota's summer press release listed the Limited AWD at 299 miles. The EPA rating for that version is 278 miles, and that is the number to plan around.
The sweet spot is the XLE FWD Plus. For $3,000 over the base car you get the big battery, 56 more horsepower and the longest range of any Toyota EV, 314 miles. Cargo space is 27.7 cubic feet behind the rear seat and 56.9 cubic feet with it folded, per Toyota (measured without the optional subwoofer). The bZ also comes with an adapter kit for older J1772 and CCS chargers, according to Toyota.
The Woodland is Toyota's electric pitch to the outdoorsy, Subaru Outback crowd. It is longer than the bZ, with nearly six inches more cargo length, and it is the only Toyota EV built for towing and dirt roads.
The Premium grade adds a nine-speaker JBL audio system, ventilated front seats, a digital rearview mirror and a panoramic glass roof.
The C-HR name used to belong to a small gas and hybrid crossover. The new one is fully electric, and it may be the smartest buy of the three. It is 177.9 inches long on a 108.3-inch wheelbase, a little smaller than the bZ, and comes in two grades:
Every C-HR has a 338-hp dual-motor AWD system and the big battery. Compare that with the bZ XLE AWD: same horsepower, nearly the same range (288 miles versus 287), but the C-HR SE costs $2,900 less. The trade-off is a smaller back seat and a sloping roofline. Toyota lists 59.5 cubic feet of cargo space with the seats folded, slightly more than its 56.9-cubic-foot figure for the bZ, but automakers measure differently, so bring your gear to the dealer and check.
More choice is coming. Toyota has said a three-row Highlander EV arrives next year, which would give larger families an electric Toyota of their own.
The bottom line: Toyota finally has a real electric SUV lineup, and it's priced to compete. Skip AWD and the bZ XLE FWD Plus gives you 314 miles for $37,980. Need AWD? The C-HR SE gives you 338 hp for $37,080, the best deal Toyota sells. Only buy the bZ Woodland if you'll actually use its 3,500-lb tow rating or its ground clearance. For everyone else, the cheaper two are the smarter buys.
