Toyota today reveals 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 share the well-defined DNA of Toyota’s BEV models: true AWD-capability, SUV body styles 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 wide 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 140mm longer and 20mm higher overall (total figures 4,830mm and 1,670mm respectively), dimensions that increase the load compartment capacity by 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. The AWD option with Toyota’s intelligent XMODE drive control technology and Grip Control gives 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 AWD and FWD models are equipped with a 74.7kWh (gross capacity) lithium-ion battery and – depending on grade – either an 11kW or a 22kW onboard charger. Maximum fast-charging capacity (DC) is around 150kW.  

The battery features Toyota’s latest advances in improving performance and charging times. It incorporates a new water cooling system and preconditioning function recently announced for the 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 221bhp (224 DIN hp/165 kW)*; for the all-wheel drive bZ4X Touring it’s 376bhp (380 DIN hp/280 kW)*, making this 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 1,500kg, 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 650,000 miles 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 and black wheels. Another Touring-specific feature is the robust roof rails, making it even easier to transport sports equipment or long loads; maximum roof load is 70kg. 

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 revised instrument panel design, with a larger, 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 helping the driver plan a route including recommended charging point locations based on the car’s battery state of charge and remaining driving range. 

The bZ4X Touring is scheduled for introduction in the UK and Europe in the spring of 2026. Further vehicle data and details of UK model range and specifications will be released nearer the time of market introduction. 

* All data are tentative prior to homologation. **Toyota’s confidence in the quality of the battery is reflected in a guarantee it will retain at least 70 per cent of its capacity up to 10 years of vehicle age, covered by the original EV Manufacturing Warranty until eight years of vehicle age or 100,000 miles160,000 kilometres driven, and with the Battery Care Program up to 10 years of vehicle age or 650,000 miles/1 million kilometres driven that is activated by an annual EV Health Check (T&Cs and local national market conditions apply).
