All-New 2026 bZ Electric SUV in Salisbury, NC
First Look at the 2026 Toyota bZ: All-Electric Style and Smarts
Toyota is charging ahead – and the 2026 bZ is leading the way. The refreshed bZ brings more range, smarter tech, and bold new looks, making it the all-electric SUV you’ll actually want to drive every day. If you're curious about going electric in Salisbury, the new bZ is about to make that decision a lot easier.
Here’s what you can expect when the 2026 bZ lineup rolls into Cloninger Toyota.
Sharper Design, Built to Stand Out
The 2026 bZ lineup comes in with an updated look that’s clean, sporty, and modern. From the sleeker front fascia to new wheel designs and color options, this SUV is anything but boring. It has the kind of presence that turns heads at Food Lion, the gas-free edge you want for commuting up I-85, and the comfort to back it all up.
And while it looks great from the curb, it’s just as functional behind the wheel. With improved aerodynamics and smart airflow management, the new bZ doesn’t just look better – it performs better.
More Range, More Confidence
Toyota listened, and the 2026 bZ brings what drivers asked for: more range and faster charging.

Whether you’re making the Charlotte airport run or planning a weekend trip to the Blue Ridge, the 2026 bZ is built for real-world driving, not just city errands.
Tech That Works for You
