Toyota Even Lifted the Minivan for Its SEMA Woodland Family

Toyota brought lifted, all-terrain versions of the Sienna, RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid, Grand Highlander, bZ and Crown Signia to the 2026 SEMA Show as a new family of Woodland concepts.

All five share one recipe, with lift kits, large over-fenders, satin-black wheels, all-terrain tires, roof racks and cross bars. Each is painted Horizon Blue, a color drawn from the palette Toyota used in the 1960s on models like the Stout, Crown and Corona, and each carries a second tone on the roof and hood.

Toyota announced the group on October 30 in a release that credits CALTY Design Research with the shared look. The release is short on hardware. It gives no lift heights, wheel sizes or tire sizes, and it describes the lineup only as a mix of plug-in hybrid, hybrid and battery-electric vehicles in compact, spacious and premium sizes.

Car and Driver filled in some of what the photos show, spotting Yakima logos on the roof racks and Yokohama Geolandar X-AT tires on Toyota-branded wheels, with small Woodland badges on the rims of some models and a Woodland logo on each tailgate. It also noted that the roofs and hoods are black, and that the Crown Signia has low-profile driving lights worked into the front fascia just above the grille.

The Crown Signia is the newcomer. CarBuzz pointed out that the Grand Highlander, RAV4, Sienna and bZ all have Woodland models in showrooms, while this is the first time the Crown Signia has received the treatment. The outlet put Crown Signia sales at 20,550 last year and said 2026 is on track to match that. The same car is also the base for the lowered Crown Signia GT-S concept Toyota brought to the show, so one wagon appears in Las Vegas both slammed and lifted.

The production Woodland cars are much milder than these builds. The Grand Highlander Woodland Edition that Toyota added for 2027, for instance, gets half an inch of extra ground clearance from taller coil springs, along with matte black 18-inch wheels and all-terrain tires.

Toyota has not said that any of the five concepts or their parts will be sold. Its release calls them special project prototypes, modified with parts and accessories that are not available from Toyota, and warns that those parts may void the warranty, may hurt performance and safety, and may not be street legal. Car and Driver speculated that the mods are mild enough to be a test of public reaction to something that could later be sold through dealers, and CarBuzz suggested official accessories as one possible outcome, but neither outlet cited Toyota on that.

The concepts join the five snow-tracked Snowhunter trucks and SUVs that Toyota announced on October 27. The SEMA Show runs November 3-6 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

The Toyota Report Take

This is the most useful thing Toyota is showing at SEMA, precisely because it’s the least outrageous. Nobody is going to buy a Tundra on snow tracks, but plenty of Sienna owners would write a check for a modest lift, better tires and that Horizon Blue paint, and Subaru has already proved with Wilderness that buyers will pay for this look on a family car.

The Crown Signia is the one I’d watch. Toyota has a wagon that sells modestly and seems unsure what it wants to be, and a real Woodland version would give it a clearer job than a one-off GT-S ever could. If Toyota wants to know whether the idea has legs, it should offer the paint and the lift through dealers and let the order book answer.
