The name "b Z4X" doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue, which is probably one of the reasons that Toyota has renamed its electric compact SUV to just "bZ" for 2026. The bZ's updates go well beyond just its new name, with sizable improvements made to its electric powertrain, charging tech, and interior layout. The bZ is still offered with the choice of front- or all-wheel drive, and both receive a much-needed bump in power. Some FWD models now have 221 horsepower, and the AWD model has 338 horsepower. Combined with higher range capabilities from all-wheel-drive trims and tweaked styling both inside and out, the updated bZ is a more appealing package in both name and capability.
