Toyota bZ Interior Review: What's New in 2026?

Toyota bZ Interior Review: What's New in 2026?

The Toyota bZ (formerly named the bZ4X) is still a five-seat all-electric SUV, but with an overhaul in features, motor efficiency, and trim levels. The interior was adjusted as well; there's a new center console designed with connectivity in mind, an instrument panel that takes up less space, a 14-inch multimedia screen, and a 64-color fully customizable ambient lighting system.

Colors also got shuffled around – gone is the Toyota bZ red interior. But don't worry, the black and light gray interiors remain, keeping your interior simple and welcoming.

Toyota bZ Interior Dimensions

Let's start our comparison at the Toyota bZ specs, since they provide a convenient yet compact shell for up to five passengers. The focus is on the driver and front-row passenger, who have 42.1 inches of legroom and 38.6 inches of headroom to work with. That's not to say the Toyota bZ dimensions are uncomfortable for rear-row passengers either, as they can enjoy 35.3 inches of legroom and 37.1 inches of headroom. Your kids, teenagers, and even young adults will be fully comfortable while you run errands or even take road trips.

With a maximum cargo area of 27.7 cubic feet in the trunk, new Toyota bZ vehicles serve as a comfortable, maneuverable SUV, perfect for families and commuters alike.

Toyota bZ Interior Colors & Upholstery

How does the style of your Toyota bZ work alongside its specifications? While the Toyota bZ with red interior is gone for 2026, there are still two trim levels where you can pick your materials:

  • The XLE is the standard trim and features fabric bolstered by SofTex, a highly comfortable synthetic leather. This level only has black, which suits any exterior shade.
  • The Limited trim – the higher-end bZ model – has more options. With its pure SofTex interior, you'll have your pick between black or gray seats.

Frequently Asked Questions

How customizable is the Toyota bZ interior through settings or trim levels?

The two trim levels of the Toyota bZ – the XLE and Limited – provide two upholstery options: Fabric and SofTex (a comfortable synthetic leather) or just SofTex. The Limited trim also has two color options, Black and Light Gray, rather than just the black of the XLE. Your Limited level includes a radiant foot-and-leg heater, panoramic moonroof, Digital Rearview Mirror, ventilated front seats, and heated rear seats.

How does the Toyota bZ interior layout support EV-specific driving features?

The most relevant feature for EVs comes from the 7-inch LCD, which displays a speedometer and charging settings for ease of access. This is also where you'll see your drive modes, including regenerative braking with four selectable settings, freely adjustable via paddle switches. The interior is also comfortably quiet, in large part thanks to an all-electric engine that keeps the volume down through every mile.

What materials are used throughout the Toyota bZ cabin?

The Toyota bZ is primarily upholstered with SofTex, a synthetic leather that's comfortable and easy to clean. On the XLE, this synthetic leather is bolstered by fabric, creating a stunning contrast for your seating – which is heated in the front row as standard, and can be heated and ventilated on the Limited trim level.
