Get ready for an electrifying adventure with the all-new Toyota bZ4X Touring. This longer, more upright, and rugged-looking variant of the facelifted bZ4X is set to grace Australian roads during the first half of 2026. In this article, we delve into the details of the bZ4X Touring, its features, performance, and competitive edge.

Key Features and Availability

The bZ4X Touring will be available exclusively with a dual-motor all-wheel drive setup, boasting 280kW of power. While Toyota hasn’t released performance figures for the bZ4X Touring yet, its almost identical counterpart, the Subaru Trailseeker, achieves a 0-60mph (0-97km/h) time of 4.4 seconds with the same drivetrain. The vehicle comes equipped with a 74.7kWh battery pack, offering a range of up to 418km under the US EPA testing regime.

In terms of dimensions, the bZ4X Touring is 150mm longer and 25mm taller than the regular bZ4X. These increased dimensions result in an expanded boot space of 850L. The vehicle also features a ground clearance of 211mm and a more rugged appearance, thanks to its dark grey wheel arch extensions.

Toyota Australia has confirmed that the lengthened version of the bZ4X will hit Australian showrooms in the first half of 2026. A facelifted version of the standard bZ4X is slated for arrival in Australian showrooms in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Standard Features and Optional Extras

Standard features on the US market models include a 14.0-inch infotainment touchscreen, 360-degree camera system, faux leather seats, radar-guided cruise control, lane keeping assistance, six-speaker audio system, and heated front seats.

Available options in the US market include a nine-speaker JBL sound system, Wi-Fi hotspot, ventilated seats with memory settings, digital rear view mirror, and a panoramic glass roof.

Competitive Edge

Compared to the Subaru Trailseeker, the bZ4X boasts a distinct front bumper design with C-shaped upper headlights, a unique rear diffuser/bash plate, and a smaller Toyota logo integrated into the rear tail-light bar.

Conclusion

The bZ4X Touring offers an exciting blend of performance, design, and technology. With its rugged appearance, impressive powertrain, and extended range, it promises to be a formidable player in the EV market. Stay tuned for more updates as we approach its Australian launch in 2026.
