Toyota revealed the bZ4X Touring, a new addition to its pure electric bZ4X range that widens the model’s appeal with even stronger, versatile performance and a significant increase in load space. These are key qualities for customers seeking a car that meets the demands of an active lifestyle or can serve as spacious and flexible family-size transport.
As an authentic SUV, the new bZ4X Touring allows customers to choose an electric vehicle without having to compromise their lifestyle thanks to more space and versatility, combined with fast charging throughout the year, generous driving range and powerful motors.
The bZ4X Touring will further strengthen Toyota’s comprehensive coverage of the key B, C and D electric SUV market categories, joining the all-new Urban Cruiser and Toyota C-HR+ and the new, revised bZ4X in its battery electric vehicle line-up.
All sharing the well-defined DNA of Toyota’s BEV models: true AWD-capacity, SUV body types and the brand’s renowned quality, durability and reliability (QDR). With a range of battery options and the choice of front or all-wheel drive across all these models, Toyota has solutions to suit a great spectrum of customer requirements and preferences, be it performance, cost efficiency, or – with the new bZ4X Touring – a vehicle that’s perfectly tailored for busy family life.
Focus on space
Toyota has created the bZ4X Touring with a seamless extension of the established bZ4X’s SUV body style. It is 140 mm longer and 20 mm higher overall (total figures 4,830 mm and 1,670 mm respectively), dimensions that increase the load compartment capacity by more than a third – an extra 148 litres – to 600 litres.
It maximises the space-saving opportunities offered by Toyota’s BEV powertrain, with compact components and a layout that avoid intrusion in both the cabin and the load space.
The bZ4X Touring has the carrying capacity for a family’s holiday luggage, or for all kinds of leisure and sporting equipment. A 40:60 flexible rear seat arrangement means it is simple and easy to extend the space available when required.
Powertrain and performance
The new bZ4X Touring follows Toyota’s principle of offering a BEV-lineup that provides a breadth of choice for the customer, with both front and all-wheel drive versions available. The AWD option with Toyota’s intelligent XMODE drive control technology and Grip Control gives true AWD capabilities and provides the peace of mind of extra traction and surefooted performance on rougher or looser surfaces – just the kind of roads that might be encountered on a family adventure.
Both are equipped with a 74.7 kWh (gross capacity) lithium-ion battery and – depending on grade – either a 11kW or a 22 kW onboard charger. Maximum fast-charging capacity (DC) is around 150 kW.
The battery features Toyota’s latest advances in improving performance and charging times. It incorporates the new water cooling system and preconditioning function recently introduced in new bZ4X, which the driver can activate either manually, or automatically by navigating to a fast-charging station, to ensure the battery is at optimum temperature when charging starts. This is particularly useful in colder climates.
The targeted maximum output for the front-wheel drive model is 224 DIN hp/165 kW; for the all-wheel drive bZ4X Touring it’s 380 DIN hp/280 kW, making the model the most powerful Toyota BEV on the market.
The powertrain benefits from Toyota’s new eAxle. Using new silicon carbide (SIC) semiconductors, these operate with greater efficiency and produce higher power, while also being lighter and more compact.
As well as extra horsepower, the bZ4X Touring can tow trailers up to 1,500 kg, adding to the SUV’s credentials as a highly capable and capacious vehicle.
Further performance data will be released nearer the time of market introduction.
Peace of mind battery guarantee
In common with all Toyota’s new BEVs, the bZ4X will come with long-lasting battery quality, durability and reliability guaranteed. Toyota’s Battery Care Program covers the battery each year for up to 10 years of vehicle age or up to one million kilometres driven, subject to an annual battery health check.
Presenting a more rugged look
While the bZ4X projects a sleek and high-tech look, the Touring’s spacious, estate-like body adopts a series of styling details that emphasise a more rugged and adventurous spirit, such as a grained black finish for the wheel arches, black wheels and robust roof rails. Another Touring-unique feature is the roof rails, making it even easier to transport sports equipment or long loads allowing for 70 kg roof load.
The principal changes are at the extended rear section of the car, with a new lower bumper design and LED combination lamps that have a more modern, “outdoor” look. The monotone exterior colours will include a new Brilliant Bronze.
Inside, the cabin features a new design similar to the new bZ4X: A new centre console for easy use of digital devices and instrument panel design, with a 14-inch multimedia screen fitted as standard. The interior finish will include a new City Moss upholstery colour, in tune with the model’s authentic SUV character.
The multimedia system provides a BEV navigation function supporting the driver to choose a route and charging points based on the car’s battery state of charge and remaining driving range.
The bZ4X Touring is scheduled for introduction in Europe in the spring of 2026. Further vehicle data will be released nearer the time of market introduction.
