An Electric SUV Finally Worthy of Toyota?
- Published on 06/05/2026 12:18
More spacious, more powerful, and with a range of 591 km, the new Toyota bZ4X Touring establishes itself as the model of electric maturity for the Japanese giant.
The Toyota bZ4X Touring marks a strategic turning point. By listening to user needs, Toyota delivers not just a new electric vehicle: the brand offers a concrete solution for families and travelers who until now refused to sacrifice space and versatility at the altar of electromobility.
A record trunk volume for adventure
The secret of this Touring version lies in its architecture. By extending the wheelbase by 140 mm, Toyota has transformed the rear habitability. The result is undeniable: a trunk volume of 669 liters, which is an increase of nearly 50% compared to the standard bZ4X.
This increase in space, combined with standard roof rails and a towing capacity of 1,500 kg, makes this SUV the ideal companion for transporting bikes, sports equipment, or bulky luggage without any hassle.
Performance: the most powerful Toyota outside of the GR range
On the powertrain side, Toyota strikes hard. The bZ4X Touring is available in two versions powered by a 74.7 kWh battery:
- Front-Wheel Drive Version (224 hp): Pure efficiency with a range of up to 591 km (WLTP).
- All-Wheel Drive Version (380 hp): A record power for a conventional model from the brand, capable of going from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds.
Thanks to the X-MODE and Grip Control systems, this AWD version does not fear steep paths or difficult conditions (snow, mud), maintaining the adventurer DNA that has made Toyota SUVs successful.
Reliability and charging: Toyota serenity
Thanks to optimized thermal management, the bZ4X Touring can regain 10 to 80% of its charge in 28 minutes, even in cold weather.
But the strongest argument remains the Battery Care Program: Toyota guarantees the maintenance of 70% of the battery’s capacity for 10 years or 1 million kilometers. A unique promise of longevity in the market which, starting at 47,400 euros, could well be the trigger for a definite purchase for many households.
