Toyota bZ4X Touring: What to Know Before It Arrives in May

IIf you have been watching the bZ4X with interest but wanted something with a bit more room, more performance, or a more distinctive look, the Touring grade is worth understanding. Here is a straightforward rundown of what the grade brings and who it is likely to suit.

What Is the bZ4X Touring?

The bZ4X Touring is the top grade in Toyota’s updated bZ4X family. The rest of the range was also upgraded across driving range, power output, and specification, so the Touring sits at the top of a stronger overall lineup.

The most significant difference in the Touring grade is its extended body. An additional 140mm behind the rear axle, combined with a more upright tailgate, grows the luggage volume from 452 litres in the standard bZ4X to up to 603 litres (VDA) in the Touring. Overall length is 4,830mm, up from 4,690mm, and the flatter roofline adds 25mm of height along with useful extra rear-seat headroom. That is a meaningful jump for a family that regularly loads up for weekends away.

Beyond the body change, the Touring also brings a more distinctive visual identity. Standard features include 20-inch black alloy wheels with aero inserts, front and rear skid plates, ladder-style roof rails rated to 70kg, resin black wheel arch cladding, a bonnet insert, and a rear window wiper that the rest of the range does not have.

Performance and Range

The bZ4X Touring is AWD-only, powered by two 167kW electric motors producing a combined system output of 280kW, with 268.6Nm of torque at each axle. The 0 to 100km/h sprint takes 4.4 seconds. That is the strongest performance output of any Toyota passenger SUV currently available.

The 74.7kWh lithium-ion battery delivers 488km of driving range on the WLTP cycle, with a rated energy consumption of 168Wh/km. For Hills residents who commute to Perth and back, or who use their car for longer regional runs, that is a practical number in real-world terms, with some buffer for heating, air conditioning, and driving style.

Braked towing capacity is 1,500kg (750kg unbraked), which covers most box trailers, bike racks, and small camper setups. Running ground clearance is 211mm.

Current bZ4X range pricing is as follows. All prices are manufacturer’s list price excluding on-road costs.

Optional paint is available at $575 across all grades. A two-tone roof option is available on the AWD at $1,350.

Is the bZ4X Touring Right for You?

The bZ4X Touring is built for drivers who want a practical electric SUV with genuine family carrying capacity, strong performance, and a distinctive look. The 603 litre boot addresses one of the most common practical objections to the standard bZ4X, and the 488km WLTP range covers most everyday and weekend use cases comfortably.

It suits drivers who do the bulk of their driving on sealed roads, whether that is the commute to Perth, school runs, or longer road trips interstate. The skid plates, roof rails, raised ride height and X-Mode off-road settings give it real capability on gravel and unsealed tracks, but it is not designed for serious four-wheel driving. If that is a requirement, the Prado or LandCruiser remain the better options from Toyota’s range.

If you are considering your first electric vehicle, the bZ4X Touring's charging flexibility, battery warranty, and Toyota dealer support network make it a lower-risk way to make the switch.
