Check Out the 2026 Toyota bZ in Corpus Christi

First Drive of the 2026 Toyota bZ in Corpus Christi, TX

The electric revolution is accelerating, and Mike Shaw Toyota is proud to welcome the 2026 Toyota bZ. Replacing the bZ4X, the new bZ sets a higher standard for efficiency, performance, and design – but with the same affordable and sensible price for Corpus Christi motorists. More range, quicker charging, and a fresh new exterior and interior, all built to fit seamlessly into your world.

Why the 2026 Toyota bZ Excels

Toyota has been at the forefront of electrified vehicles for decades, and the 2026 bZ demonstrates that innovation continues unabated. Its simpler name, enhanced performance, and sophisticated new styling make the bZ built to impress families, businesspeople, and eco-conscious drivers alike. From driving to downtown Corpus Christi to driving up the coast or just running around town, the bZ blends extended range with adaptable comfort.

More Range, More Confidence

Range anxiety has no place here. The 2026 Toyota bZ offers two battery sizes to fit your lifestyle:

• 314 Miles with the XLE FWD Plus and 74.7-kWh Battery
• 299 Miles with the Limited FWD or Limited AWD
• 288 Miles with the XLE AWD
• 236 Miles with the XLE FWD 57.7-kWh Battery

With numbers like these, you’ll have the confidence to explore beyond the city limits without constant stops to charge.

Faster and Smarter Charging

The bZ is convenient to charge, whether at home or away:

• NACS is a charging port for thousands of DC fast chargers across the country.
• 10 to 80 percent charge in roughly 30 minutes under optimal conditions.
• Plug and Charge enables wireless authentication at compatible charging stations.
• 11-kW onboard AC charger for faster Level 2 home charging.
• Next-generation battery preconditioning system for better charging in cold weather.

SUV charging has never been so easy.

Power that Surprises

This electric crossover isn't just efficient – it's also performance-oriented. With up to 338 horsepower in AWD models and a zero-to-60 time of 4.9 seconds, the 2026 bZ is as much fun as it is functional. Even the FWD models are more aggressive, with up to 221 horsepower now available, giving you more ease when merging onto highways or creeping through city roads.

Head Turning Exterior Redesign

Toyota updated the bZ for 2026, starting with a new, sporty front clip. Slender LED daytime running lights and color-tied overfenders give this SUV a more refined, aerodynamic appearance. In bold fashion, colors, and two-tone configurations, the bZ is as bold as its owners.

Smarter and More Comfortable Interior

Inside, the 2026 Toyota bZ blends cutting-edge technology with refined comfort:

• 14-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia Touchscreen Standard
• 64-Color Ambient Lighting to create the Mood
• Dual Qi Wireless Phone Chargers in the Front Console
• Heated SofTex-Trimmed Steering Wheel with Regenerative Braking Paddle Shifters
• Optional Heated Rear Seats and Ventilated Front Seats
