The short answer
If you searched for a Toyota all electric car, the main update is that Toyota now has more than one battery electric option in the U.S. As of September 19, 2026, Toyota lists the 2027 bZ, 2027 C-HR and 2027 bZ Woodland as battery electric SUVs or crossovers. The 2027 Highlander has also been announced as Toyota’s first three-row battery electric vehicle for the U.S. market, with sales expected to begin in late 2026 and continue into early 2027.
For shoppers, the lineup breaks down clearly. The bZ is the mainstream daily EV, the C-HR is the smaller and sportier compact choice, the bZ Woodland adds more utility and outdoor-oriented hardware, and the electric Highlander is the family-size model to watch.
This guide focuses on U.S. Toyota battery electric vehicles, not hybrids, plug-in hybrids or hydrogen fuel cell models. For more electrification updates, follow the RoadsNews EVs section.
Toyota all-electric lineup at a glance
Toyota’s latest U.S. EV story is no longer about a single nameplate. The company entered the modern U.S. battery electric market with the bZ4X, but its current retail and newsroom material now centers on the shorter bZ name, the new C-HR, the more rugged bZ Woodland and the announced Highlander EV. Model years can be confusing because 2027 vehicles are being announced and listed during calendar year 2026, so the table separates currently listed models from the upcoming Highlander.
| Model | Type and status | Range figure highlighted by Toyota | Powertrain highlights | Likely buyer use case |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2027 Toyota bZ | Compact all-electric SUV listed in Toyota’s U.S. lineup | Up to 314 miles EPA-estimated on XLE FWD Plus | Available front- or all-wheel drive, up to 338 total system horsepower on AWD models | Daily commuting, small-family use and first-time Toyota EV shoppers |
| 2027 Toyota C-HR | Compact all-electric crossover listed in Toyota’s U.S. lineup | 287 miles EPA-estimated on SE and 273 miles on XSE | Standard AWD, 338 total system horsepower and 0-60 mph in 4.9 seconds according to Toyota | Drivers who want a smaller, sportier Toyota EV |
| 2027 Toyota bZ Woodland | Rugged all-electric SUV listed in Toyota’s U.S. lineup | 281 miles EPA-estimated with all-season tires, 260 miles with available all-terrain tires | Standard AWD, 375 total system horsepower, 8.4 inches of ground clearance and up to 3,500 pounds of towing capacity | Outdoor-oriented buyers who need more utility than a standard compact EV |
| 2027 Toyota Highlander EV | Announced three-row battery electric SUV | Up to 320 miles manufacturer-estimated on AWD models with the 95.8-kWh battery | Available FWD or AWD depending on grade, seating for up to seven and vehicle-to-load capability | Families waiting for a larger Toyota EV with three rows |
What makes the 2027 bZ the core Toyota EV
The bZ is the most direct answer for shoppers asking whether Toyota sells a conventional all-electric SUV. Toyota lists the 2027 bZ with a starting MSRP of $34,980 before applicable fees, a standard 14-inch multimedia touchscreen and a North American Charging System port. The longest-range version is the XLE FWD Plus, which Toyota lists at an EPA-estimated 314 miles on a full charge. That makes the bZ the range leader among Toyota’s currently listed retail BEVs, excluding the announced Highlander.
The bZ also shows how Toyota has repositioned its original bZ4X formula. The name is shorter, the charging hardware has moved to NACS, and the lineup now has a clearer split between lower-cost front-drive versions and more powerful AWD models. Toyota says AWD versions produce 338 total system horsepower, while FWD versions produce up to 221 horsepower depending on configuration. In practical terms, the bZ is aimed at shoppers who want an EV that fits into everyday compact-SUV use rather than a niche technology experiment.
Charging is a central part of the bZ update. Toyota lists DC fast charging capability, a NACS port and an included dual-voltage charging cable for home charging flexibility. The company also says the vehicle can charge from 10% to 80% in about 30 minutes under ideal DC fast charging conditions. That figure is best used as a planning reference, not a guarantee, because charger output, battery temperature, state of charge and weather can all slow real-world charging.
Where the C-HR fits in Toyota’s electric plan
The 2027 C-HR gives Toyota a more design-led and performance-focused battery electric crossover. It is not the same product as the older gasoline C-HR that Toyota previously sold in the U.S. Toyota now presents the C-HR as an all-electric model with standard all-wheel drive, 338 total system horsepower and a Toyota-listed 0-60 mph time of 4.9 seconds. For shoppers who do not need a larger cargo area or a three-row layout, it is the sportiest-feeling choice in Toyota’s EV group.
Range depends on trim. Toyota lists the C-HR SE at 287 miles EPA-estimated and the XSE at 273 miles. The lower range on the XSE reflects equipment differences such as wheel and feature content. Toyota’s listed starting MSRP is $37,080 for the SE and $39,080 for the XSE, before applicable fees. Both trims use a 74.7-kWh battery, according to Toyota’s C-HR specifications, and both are positioned as compact crossovers rather than traditional sedans.
The C-HR matters because it broadens the idea of a Toyota electric car. Instead of offering only a practical EV with conservative styling, Toyota is using the C-HR to reach buyers who want sharper design, quicker acceleration and a smaller footprint. The trade-off is straightforward: it does not offer the rugged hardware of the bZ Woodland or the family capacity of the Highlander EV.
Why the bZ Woodland is different from the standard bZ
The 2027 bZ Woodland is Toyota’s utility-focused electric SUV. It shares the battery electric direction of the bZ family but adds more ground clearance, standard AWD hardware and trail-oriented features. Toyota lists 375 total system horsepower, 8.4 inches of ground clearance, X-MODE, Grip Control and up to 3,500 pounds of towing capacity. Those figures make it the most outdoors-focused Toyota BEV currently listed for U.S. shoppers.
Range depends on tires. Toyota lists the bZ Woodland at 281 miles EPA-estimated with standard all-season tires and 260 miles with available all-terrain tires. That difference is a useful reminder that EV range is not only about battery size. Tires, aerodynamics, temperature, speed and cargo load can materially change efficiency. For a buyer who often drives highway trips with bikes, camping gear or a small trailer, that range penalty matters more than it would in a city commute.
The bZ Woodland starts at $45,380 before applicable fees, according to Toyota’s retail listing, with a higher-priced Premium grade also listed. It is not simply a styling package. Its stronger output, towing capacity, utility focus and rugged equipment separate it from the standard bZ. The clearest buyer is someone who wants Toyota EV ownership but would otherwise be shopping an adventure-oriented crossover or light-duty SUV.
The upcoming electric Highlander changes the family-EV question
The 2027 Highlander EV is the most important Toyota all-electric model that is not yet a typical dealer-lot choice as of September 19, 2026. Toyota announced it on February 10, 2026 as a battery electric Highlander with three-row seating for up to seven. The company also described it as Toyota’s first three-row battery electric vehicle for the U.S. market and its first U.S.-assembled BEV. Sales are expected to begin in late 2026 and continue into early 2027, with pricing to be announced closer to launch.
The announced specifications place the Highlander EV above Toyota’s smaller BEVs in size and family usefulness. Toyota lists two battery sizes: a 77.0-kWh pack and a 95.8-kWh pack. The highest manufacturer-estimated range is 320 miles for XLE AWD and Limited AWD models equipped with the 95.8-kWh battery. The XLE FWD with the 77.0-kWh battery is listed at a manufacturer-estimated 287 miles, while the XLE AWD with the same smaller battery is listed at 270 miles. See also: AI.
Beyond range, the Highlander EV adds features that matter for larger households, including three rows, more than 45 cubic feet of cargo space with the third row folded, a 14-inch touchscreen, Toyota Safety Sense 4.0 and vehicle-to-load capability when the required accessories are purchased. The major unanswered consumer question is value. Until Toyota releases final pricing and dealer availability, the Highlander EV should be treated as an announced product, not a fully comparable purchase option.
The charging shift that matters across Toyota EVs
The most significant technical change across Toyota’s recent EV lineup is the move to the North American Charging System port. Toyota says its latest BEVs use NACS for broader access to compatible public fast charging, including parts of the Tesla Supercharger network where supported. Toyota also describes compatibility with other public charging through adapters for CCS and J1772 where applicable. For buyers, this matters because charging access can be just as important as advertised range.
Even so, buyers should not assume every charger will work the same way. Plug type, network participation, payment setup, vehicle software, charger reliability and local station congestion all affect the charging experience. Toyota’s Plug & Charge capability is designed to reduce app juggling on selected networks, but availability can vary. Home charging remains the simplest ownership path for most EV drivers, especially when Level 2 charging is available overnight.
The charging numbers also need context. A 10% to 80% fast-charge time is useful for road trips because charging slows near the top of the battery. In daily use, most owners charge at home or work and rarely need to fast-charge from a low battery. That is why the right Toyota EV is not always the one with the biggest range number. It is the one that matches daily mileage, parking access and occasional trip needs.
How to choose the right Toyota all-electric model
Start with size and use case. If you want the simplest Toyota BEV for commuting and general use, the bZ is the default place to begin. If you want a smaller, quicker and more style-forward EV, the C-HR is more focused. If you need ground clearance, towing capacity and adventure utility, the bZ Woodland is the stronger match. If you need three rows, the Highlander EV is the model to watch, although final price and real dealer timing remain essential details.
Next, compare range by trim, not just by model name. The bZ can show 314 miles in one configuration and much less in another. The C-HR SE has a higher estimate than the XSE. The bZ Woodland loses range when fitted with all-terrain tires. The Highlander EV’s longest estimate depends on the larger 95.8-kWh battery. Shoppers who only compare model names may miss these trim-level differences.
Finally, separate Toyota’s broader electrified strategy from its battery electric lineup. Toyota still sells hybrids, plug-in hybrids and the Mirai fuel cell vehicle in limited markets. Those vehicles can reduce fuel use or tailpipe emissions in different ways, but they are not the same as a battery electric Toyota that runs only on stored electricity. If your search is specifically for a Toyota all electric car, focus on BEV models and confirm the exact trim, range rating, charging equipment and delivery timing before making a purchase decision.
