Panoramic Glass Roof and Radiant Heat: What Makes the 2026 Toyota bZ Limited Special

Panoramic Glass Roof and Radiant Heat: What Makes the 2026 Toyota bZ Limited Special

The 2026 Toyota bZ Limited AWD is Toyota's most premium all-electric SUV, featuring two standout upgrades: a pillarless panoramic glass roof with power shade and a radiant front heater. Both are new for 2026 and transform the driving experience with open, airy cabin feel and year-round comfort for Ontario drivers.

The Limited grade also includes heated and ventilated front seats, full SofTex upholstery, power-adjustable front seats, and a nine-speaker JBL Premium Audio system. For electric vehicle shoppers seeking innovation, style, and comfort, the bZ Limited delivers a package that stands out in the growing EV landscape.

A Panoramic View Like No Other

The pillarless panoramic glass roof on the 2026 bZ Limited AWD creates an uninterrupted expanse of glass overhead, flooding the cabin with natural light and enhancing spaciousness. Unlike traditional sunroofs with visible support structures, this design offers a sleek, modern aesthetic.

The power shade allows drivers to control light levels with ease. On bright summer days, the shade blocks harsh sunlight and reduces cabin heat. On clear evenings or during scenic drives, retracting the shade opens the cabin to the world above. This level of control ensures comfort in all seasons.

For families or adventurers who value connection to their surroundings, this feature transforms routine commutes into something more engaging. The panoramic roof complements the bZ's extra-wide interior, which already offers legroom equivalent to a large sedan and copious side-to-side space in the rear seat.

Radiant Heat: A Smarter Way to Stay Warm

The radiant front heater is another first for the 2026 bZ Limited. Unlike traditional HVAC systems that heat air and circulate it through vents, radiant heating warms occupants directly - similar to how sunlight feels on your skin. This approach is faster, more efficient, and particularly effective in electric vehicles where conserving battery energy is crucial.

In Ontario's colder months, the radiant heater ensures immediate warmth without waiting for the cabin to heat up. It works alongside the bZ's dual-zone automatic climate control, which includes an automatic air circulation control system. Together, these systems maintain a comfortable environment while optimizing energy use - a key consideration for maximizing electric driving range.

The radiant heater pairs well with the bZ Limited's heated and ventilated front seats, which feature full SofTex upholstery. The Limited grade's climate features adapt to your needs in any season.

Premium Comfort and Technology

The 2026 bZ Limited AWD includes a host of premium upgrades designed to enhance every journey.

Seating and Interior Comfort:

  • Heated and ventilated front seats with full SofTex upholstery
  • Power-adjustable front seats with slide function
  • Driver seat memory system (available on select trims)
  • 64-colour customizable ambient lighting system
  • Heated, SofTex-trimmed steering wheel

Audio and Connectivity:

  • Nine-speaker JBL Premium Audio system
  • 14-inch Toyota Multimedia touchscreen
  • Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration
  • Three USB charging ports
  • Dual 15-watt wireless phone charging docks
  • 1,500-watt A/C outlet with deck plug

Visibility and Safety:

  • Digital rear view mirror with camera washer system
  • Panoramic View Monitor
  • Auto-levelling LED headlamps
  • LED rear combination lamps
  • Rain-, mist-, and moisture-sensing wipers with deicers

These features combine to create a cabin that feels both high-tech and welcoming - a space where drivers and passengers can relax, stay connected, and enjoy the journey.

Advanced Safety and Driver Assistance

The bZ Limited AWD includes several exclusive safety and convenience technologies that build on the already comprehensive Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 suite.

Limited-Exclusive Safety Features:

  • Advanced Park System for simplified parking manoeuvres
  • Lane Change Assist for safer highway driving
  • Parking Support Brake System with object, vehicle, and pedestrian detection
  • Traffic Jam Assist for reduced driver fatigue in congested conditions

These systems work alongside standard features like the Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Safe Exit Assist, Lane Tracing Assist, Emergency Driving Stop System, and a backup camera with back guidance monitor. Together, they create multiple layers of protection and support for drivers navigating Ontario's varied road conditions.

Performance and Capability

The 2026 bZ Limited AWD delivers strong electric performance. Powered by a 77-kWh lithium-ion battery, the all-wheel-drive system produces up to 338 hp. This enables confident acceleration and responsive handling, with the bZ AWD capable of reaching 0 - 100 km/h in approximately 5.1 seconds.

The larger battery also provides a manufacturer-estimated range of 436 kilometres between charges - ideal for daily commutes, weekend getaways, and everything in between. The bZ's North American Charging System (NACS) DC charging port unlocks access to thousands of high-speed charging stations across Canada. Under ideal conditions, DC fast charging can boost the battery from 10% to 80% in around 30 minutes.

For added versatility, the bZ Limited AWD includes:

  • X-Mode with Grip Control for optimized traction on varied terrain
  • Downhill Assist Control for controlled descents
  • Crawl Control for low-speed precision
  • Multi-Terrain Select System with three-setting off-road mode selector
  • Steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters for adjustable regenerative braking

Distinctive Styling Inside and Out


The 2026 bZ Limited stands out visually with newly designed 20-inch alloy wheels and an aero spoiler. The sleek, hammerhead front end integrates slim LED accent lights, while redesigned front overfenders enhance the bZ's curbside presence with colour-matched molding. The flowing silhouette and dynamic character lines emphasize the long wheelbase and balanced proportions.

Inside, premium finishes and soft-touch materials elevate the cabin's style and comfort. The slimmed-down dashboard features the larger 14-inch Toyota Multimedia touchscreen, while the revised console layout includes the dual wireless phone charging docks. The 60/40 split folding rear seat allows for flexible cargo configurations, making the bZ as practical as it is stylish.

The Limited grade is available in nine body colours with a black interior - including four two-tone paint schemes featuring black roofs. One unique two-tone option pairs Black over Blueprint with a light grey interior, offering a distinctive look for drivers seeking something different.
