Toyota has revealed a new stretched version of its bZ4X for drivers needing a big boot. The new Touring model is Toyota’s version of the recently announced Subaru Trailseeker, and is due to go on sale in the spring of 2026.

The bZ4X Touring 4,830mm long and 1,670mm tall, which is 140mm longer and 20mm higher than the standard model. This increases the load compartment capacity by a third – an extra 148 litres – to 600 litres.

Both AWD and FWD models are available, equipped with a 74.7kWh (gross) lithium-ion battery and – depending on grade – either an 11kW or a 22kW onboard charger. Maximum fast-charging capacity (DC) is around 150kW. The AWD option has Toyota’s intelligent XMODE drive control technology and Grip Control for better performance on rougher or looser surfaces. 

The battery features Toyota’s latest advances in improving performance and charging times, which were announced as part of the recent bZ4X facelift. It incorporates a new water cooling system and preconditioning function which the driver can activate either manually, or automatically by navigating to a fast-charging station, to ensure the battery is at optimum temperature when charging starts. 

The front-wheel drive model has a 221bhp motor, while the all-wheel drive bZ4X Touring has a total of 376bhp, making this the most powerful Toyota BEV on the market. As well as extra horsepower, the bZ4X Touring can tow trailers up to 1,500kg. 

The principal bodywork changes are at the extended rear section of the car, with a new lower bumper design and LED combination lamps. The exterior colours will include a new Brilliant Bronze. 

Inside, the cabin features a new design similar to the new bZ4X: A new centre console for easy use of digital devices and revised instrument panel design, with a larger, 14-inch multimedia screen fitted as standard. Further vehicle data and details of UK model range and specifications will be released nearer the time of market introduction.
