Toyota Rolls Out New “Woodland” Adventure Concepts

Toyota unveiled five lifted “Woodland” concept vehicles—based on the RAV4, Grand Highlander, Sienna, Crown Signia, and the battery-electric bZ SUV. The concepts were created by Toyota’s North American design studio, CALTY Design Research, to explore how its most popular nameplates can be adapted for off-road use while retaining on-road comfort. All models share a Horizon Blue exterior paint inspired by 1960s Toyota models such as the Stout, Crown, and Corona, a contrasting black roof and hood, a lift kit, large over-fenders, satin-black wheels, All-Terrain tires, roof racks, cross-bars, and an exclusive “Woodland” badge on the tailgate. The roof racks bear the Yakima logo, and the wheels are fitted with Yokohama Geolander X-AT tires, some of which display tiny “Woodland” badges.

Toyota did not release detailed powertrain specifications for most concepts, but it noted that the RAV4 Woodland Plug-In Hybrid and Sienna Woodland concepts illustrate how electrified and family-focused models can adopt a more adventurous role. The bZ Woodland concept signals the brand’s electric-future direction. According to Toyota, the 2027 bZ Woodland will feature a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system delivering 375 horsepower—37 hp more than the standard bZ AWD—and will provide 8.3 inches of ground clearance plus a towing capacity of up to 3,500 lb. These upgrades are complemented by the same All-Terrain tires, black side molding, roof rails, and black wheel-arch cladding used across the lineup.

The five Woodland concepts will be displayed at the 2026 SEMA Show, beginning on November 3. Toyota indicated that the exhibition will serve as a testbed for potential future production versions.
