The new electric Toyota bZ4X Touring offers a 33 per cent increase in load compartment capacity compared to the regular bZ4X; it will be in the UK in spring 2026.
Front and all-wheel drive versions will be available, with 376 bhp of power, and a 74.7kWh lithium-ion battery delivering an electric driving range of up to 348 miles. Toyota says that the bZ4X Touring will have “true AWD-capability”.
The bZ4X Touring will join the all-new Urban Cruiser and Toyota C-HR+ and the new, revised bZ4X in its battery electric vehicle line-up.
The bZ4X Touring is 140mm longer than the bZ4X, resulting in a length of 4,830mm, with an increase in the load compartment capacity by a third – an extra 148 litres – to 600 litres.
The AWD option, with Toyota’s new eAxle, features intelligent XMODE drive control technology and Grip Control, providing extra traction on rough surfaces,
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 and 376bhp for the all-wheel drive bZ4X Touring. The bZ4X Touring can also tow trailers up to 1,500kg.
The Touring adopts a series of styling details including a grained black finish for the wheel arches and black wheels as well as roof rails with a maximum roof load of 70kg.
