Future models - Toyota - BZ4X - TouringWagon trail for Toyota with bZ4x TouringBattery electric, all-wheel drive 280kW bZ4x Touring will be quickest Toyota SUV yet19 May 2025 TOYOTA has lifted the covers on a stretched Touring version of its bZ4X electric crossover model, which will feature all-wheel drive, nearly twice the power of the current coupe-shaped model and confirmed Australian on-sale timing for the first half of next year.
Still slowly and cautiously expanding on its battery electric vehicle line-up, Toyota’s bZ4X Touring is another twin-under-the-skin collaboration with Subaru, joining the GR86 (BRZ) sportscar and bZ4X (Solterra) crossover with a version of the Trailseeker wagon Subaru debuted at last month’s New York motor show.
Growing in length by 140mm over the regular bZ4X, the Touring is claimed to yield a 30 per cent increase in cargo volume – tipping it from crossover into SUV territory and builds on the recently announced updated bZ4X that is due locally in the fourth quarter of this year.
Visually, while technically an SUV, the bZ4X Touring still looks very much like a crossover, with a sleek, flowing body that is no way boxy.
“Following on from the bZ4X upgrades announced in March, the bZ4X Touring provides an excellent solution for customers requiring extra cargo space in their electric vehicle,” said Toyota Australia vice president sales, marketing and franchise operations Sean Hanley.
“Along with its additional amenity, the bZ4X Touring will also appeal to customers with its uprated all-wheel-drive powertrain delivering the performance and battery range they desire for long-distance touring.”
What we know so far is that the model will be offered exclusively in dual-motor all-wheel drive guise, delivering a punchy 280kW, making it the most powerful Toyota SUV to date – ahead of the LandCruiser 300 with its 227kW output.
The bZ4X Touring will feature a larger 74.7kWh battery, as used in the updated crossover model due later this year, and Toyota says this will enhance driving range (albeit specifics have not been provided thus far).
For context, the Subaru Trailseeker will offer a driving range of around 420km, so the Toyota equivalent should fall somewhere around that figure.
The smaller updated bZ4X crossover, which also features the larger 74.7kWh battery, has a quoted range of 573km for the front-wheel drive variant and 520km for the all-wheel drive runner.
According to Toyota, the battery will feature a pre-conditioning system that optimises its temperature for charging, which will allow a charge time of around 30 minutes – even in cold conditions.
Pricing and further details to be revealed closer to launch, in the first half of 2026.
