Toyota unveils the extended version of its 100% electric SUV model bZ4X, named Touring, expected in 2026.
The Toyota bZ4X Touring stands out with increased dimensions, enhanced cargo capacity, and technical performance suited for versatile use. Intended to meet the needs of families and active lifestyle enthusiasts, the bZ4X Touring will be available in Europe starting from spring 2026.
With an overall length increased by 140 mm (to 4,830 mm) and a height raised by 20 mm (to 1,670 mm), the bZ4X Touring offers a trunk volume of 600 liters, 148 liters more than the standard model. Its modularity is secured by a 40/60 fold-down rear seat, allowing adaptable space according to needs.
The bZ4X Touring adopts a more adventurous exterior style with black wheel arches, sturdy roof rails (but with a load limit of 70 kg due to the glass roof), and black alloys. The rear features a redesigned bumper and modern LED taillights. A new exterior color, Brilliant Bronze, joins the available color palette.
Inside, the vehicle features a redesigned dashboard, an optimized central console, and a standard 14-inch multimedia screen. The interior finishing offers a new color, City Moss, emphasizing the SUV character.
Technology is not forgotten
The bZ4X Touring is equipped with a lithium-ion battery with a gross capacity of 74.7 kWh, with fast charging capabilities of up to 150 kW in DC. Front-wheel drive versions deliver 224 hp (165 kW), while all-wheel drive models reach 380 hp (280 kW), making the bZ4X Touring Toyota’s most powerful electric vehicle. Toyota’s new eAxle motor systems, using silicon carbide (SIC) semiconductors, improve energy efficiency and reduce component weight. The vehicle can also tow loads up to 1,500 kg, enhancing its versatility.
The bZ4X Touring introduces a pre-conditioning system for the battery, optimizing charging performance, especially in cold conditions. Built-in navigation allows route planning with charging points based on remaining range. Toyota guarantees battery durability through its Battery Care program, offering coverage for up to 10 years or one million kilometers, subject to annual battery condition checks.
The bZ4X Touring adds to a wide range of electric SUVs, including the Urban Cruiser, Toyota C-HR+, and bZ4X, covering B-SUV, C-SUV, and D-SUV segments. With its all-wheel drive, proven off-road capabilities, and now more interior space, it appears well-equipped to compete in an ultra-competitive market.
