- Toyota introduced five lifted Woodland concepts based on the RAV4, Grand Highlander, Sienna, Crown Signia and bZ electric SUV, extending the badge beyond the RAV4, Sienna, bZ and Grand Highlander versions it already sells.
- CALTY Design Research designed the concepts for on- and off-road use, giving each a lift kit, large over-fenders, satin-black wheels, All-Terrain tires, two-tone roof and hood, roof rack and crossbars; Horizon Blue paint draws inspiration from Toyota’s 1960s Stout, Crown and Corona.
- bZ extends the Woodland theme into Toyota’s battery-electric future, while the RAV4 plug-in hybrid and Sienna concepts apply the adventure role to electrified and family-focused vehicles.
- Toyota did not reveal powertrain specifications or other details for the concepts, while saying the family includes plug-in hybrid, hybrid and battery-electric applications.
- Toyota will put all five concepts on display at the 2026 SEMA Show starting November 3.
- bZ Woodland pairs a standard dual-motor all-wheel-drive powertrain with 375 horsepower for the 2027 model—37 hp more than the standard AWD bZ—plus 8.3 inches of ground clearance and towing up to 3,500 pounds.
- bZ Woodland is offered for 2027 in Base and Premium trims starting at $45,380, more than $10,000 above the standard bZ.
Why it matters: Toyota is bringing five nameplates into the profitable U.S. off-road market through concepts, while the $45,380 bZ Woodland turns the theme into a production model more than $10,000 above the standard bZ. The November 3 SEMA debut sets a public showcase date, and that premium makes the adventure treatment’s cost concrete despite the concept vehicles having no disclosed specifications.
