Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2026 bZ.
The 2026 Toyota bZ enters the market with a minimal reliability footprint marked by just nine total owner complaints. Electrical system issues represent the primary area of owner feedback, while a single recall campaign rounds out the official defect record. This sparse data positions the 2026 model year as a limited-data baseline in the bZ's reliability history, indicating controlled initial defect rates but precluding definitive projections regarding long-term durability.
0–60 mph, quarter-mile, horsepower and torque from independent road tests.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
Owner complaints about the 2026 Toyota bZ dominate in one area — the electrical system, 3 of 9 reports (33%), well ahead of the next concern. NHTSA has issued no recalls for this vehicle, so these are owner-reported concerns only. 0 of the reports describe a crash and 0 a fire — a small share of the total, but worth weighing against the electrical system pattern above. These are tallies of what owners actually reported to the federal government, not an editorial score — and higher-selling models naturally rack up more reports.
