Toyota Unveils BZ4X Touring BEV in Japan

Toyota City, Japan, February 25, 2026―Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota) launched the new bZ4X Touring BEV on February 25, 2026, following the bZ4X.

The bZ4X Touring is a new battery electric vehicle (BEV) that combines the original bZ4X's defining qualities―the joy of driving, including strong acceleration and off-road capability, and the everyday convenience of ample cruising range―and is suited for a wide range of situations, including outdoor activities, offering a spacious luggage compartment.

Throughout vehicle development, Toyota revisited customer feedback to make BEVs a more accessible choice. This revealed a significant global demand for enhanced utility in BEVs to support family leisure activities like outdoor adventures.

The bZ4X Touring features approximately 1.4 times more luggage space*1 than the bZ4X. It also incorporates outdoor-inspired equipment throughout, making it a model designed for enjoyable long-distance touring with family and friends.

It also achieves a class-leading*2 cruising range of 734 km*3 and enables rapid charging in as little as approximately 28 minutes*4 under cold conditions. Furthermore, the 4WD model, achieving 0-100 km/h acceleration in just 4.6 seconds*5, comes equipped with X-MODE as standard, further enhancing the joy of driving in outdoor situations.

Toyota will continue developing powertrains aimed at achieving carbon neutrality and expand a diverse range of mobility solutions under its multi-pathway approach, which provides electrified vehicle options tailored to the diverse needs of customers in every country and region. Going forward, Toyota will offer these diverse choices to customers around the world under its new brand spirit of "to you"―carmaking for a specific someone.

  1. Ample cruising range and anytime charging for peace of mind

In addition to improving cruising range and charging performance, Toyota has been developing a charging infrastructure that allows customers to use BEVs with confidence from home to their destination to make them a more accessible option. The standard Toyota 6kW Charger (200V), available as a dealer option, features an integrated charging cable for a comfortable and smooth charging experience, further enhancing the convenience of BEVs.

  • In addition to adopting a large-capacity battery, efficiency improvements in the eAxle through the use of SiC power semiconductors and optimized aerodynamic performance have enabled a driving range of 734 km*11 on a single charge.
