After a slow start with its first fully electric vehicle, Toyota is finally making waves in the US electric vehicle market with its new and improved bZ. The 2026 model has seen a significant sales surge, catapulting it to the top spot among America's best-selling EVs.
With its updated driving range, charging capabilities, and refined interior, the bZ is attracting more demand than Toyota's previous electric SUV. In January alone, Toyota sold over 2,700 bZ models, outpacing popular competitors like the Hyundai IONIQ 5, Ford Mustang Mach-E, and Kia EV9.
The bZ's popularity extends beyond the US, with it being the top-selling domestic EV in Japan in Q4 and setting a new January sales record in Canada. With its impressive features, including up to 314 miles of driving range, native NACS port for recharging at Tesla Superchargers, and more, the 2026 Toyota bZ is poised to make a significant impact in the US electric vehicle market.
The bZ's upgrades have made it easier than ever to find chargers and recharge, even in cold weather. With its starting price of just $34,900, the 2026 bZ is also among the most affordable EVs in the US, making it an attractive option for consumers.
The Toyota bZ's surprise sales surge is a testament to the growing demand for electric vehicles in the US market. With its updated features and improved range, the bZ is well-positioned to attract more consumers looking for affordable and reliable EV options.
