2026 Toyota bZ SUV Targets Dubai with Strong EV Upgrade

Abu Dhabi : Toyota’s all-new 2026 bZ is set to hit Dubai’s market with bold range upgrades, strong performance, and advanced design — a fresh contender in the electric SUV space.

• Offers two battery options with up to 314 miles of range.
• AWD variant delivers 338 hp and 0–60 mph in 4.9 seconds.

Toyota is taking a big leap forward in the electric vehicle race with its reworked 2026 Toyota bZ — an evolved version of the bZ4X. With improved battery performance, modern design, and smart features, the bZ fits well into Dubai’s growing love for high-tech, clean-energy cars.

The car is expected to enter showrooms in the second half of 2025, and used models could surface shortly after, giving local buyers early access.

Power and Performance Fit for Dubai Roads

The new Toyota bZ offers two battery choices: 74.7-kWh and 57.7-kWh. These batteries push the range up to 314 miles, depending on the trim and drivetrain. That’s a big win for long UAE drives.

Thanks to its NACS charging port, drivers can reach 80% charge in around 30 minutes using a DC fast charger, and the onboard 11-kW AC charger makes daily charging faster and easier. AWD models now get 338 hp, racing from 0–60 mph in 4.9 seconds — enough punch for quick lane shifts on Sheikh Zayed Road.

Smart EV Features for Everyday Life

Toyota has also added solid tech under the hood. The 2026 bZ uses eAxles built with silicon carbide semiconductors to boost output and energy use.

Built on Toyota’s e-TNGA platform, it stays low and agile, perfect for both city cruising and short off-road trips. With X-MODE and Grip-Control on AWD models, it even manages desert terrain better than before.

Refreshed Looks and a Premium Feel

On the outside, the bZ’s sleek new shape includes slim LED lights and a hammerhead-style front. Color-matched overfenders and bold color choices like Wind Chill Pearl and Heavy Metal add to its appeal. Inside, it’s all about space and smart comfort.

A 14-inch touchscreen, 64-color ambient lighting, dual wireless chargers, and heated SofTex-trimmed steering wheel are standard, while rear passengers enjoy solid legroom at 35.3 inches — good for families and busy professionals alike. Notable feature upgrades include:

• Two battery packs: 74.7-kWh and 57.7-kWh.
• Up to 314 miles of range on one charge.
• AWD: 338 hp, 0–60 mph in 4.9 seconds.
• 14-inch touchscreen, wireless phone chargers, ambient lighting.
• Grip-Control for better handling off-road.

Set to Make Waves in UAE’s Used Market

As early buyers cycle through their vehicles, the bZ will likely appear in Dubai’s used car listings. Known for quick adoption of global trends, the UAE market will welcome this reliable, tech-rich EV with open arms. Buyers looking for trusted performance and modern electric drive in a familiar brand will find the 2026 bZ a solid fit.

With the 2026 Toyota BZ, the brand isn’t just keeping up with the electric wave — it’s aiming to lead. Its mix of long range, power, comfort, and smart tech hits all the right notes for Dubai. Whether new or used, this EV is ready to win over UAE drivers looking for more from their next SUV.
