Toyota in Ireland has unveiled the new bZ4X Touring, extending its battery electric car SUV line-up. The SUV is engineered for those looking for space, power, and more freedom, without compromising on sustainability. This new bZ4X Touring claims to marry generous extra load space with rugged styling, and enhanced performance for those bumpy Irish countryside rides.
Joining Toyota’s expanding lineup of battery electric vehicles, the all-new bZ4X Touring will arrive in the first half of 2026. This new bZ4X Touring SUV comes with a powerful 74.7 kWh battery and up to 560 km WLTP range. Spacious design provides 33% more boot space than standard model
The new bZ4X Touring follows Toyota’s principle of offering an EV that gives customers a choice of front or all-wheel drive. The all-wheel drive option, with Toyota’s intelligent XMODE drive control technology and Grip Control, provides the peace of mind of extra traction and surefooted performance on rougher or looser terrains that drivers may encounter when embarking on their next staycation. This improved strength is further supported by extra horsepower giving the bZ4X Touring the capacity to now tow trailers up to 1,500 kg.
The bZ4X Touring battery features Toyota’s latest advances in improving performance and charging times. It incorporates a new water-cooling system and a preconditioning function, which can be activated either manually, or automatically by navigating to a fast-charging station. This will ensure the battery is at optimum temperature when charging starts, which is particularly useful in colder climates.
All of Toyota’s new BEVs come with long-lasting battery quality, durability and reliability guaranteed. Toyota’s Battery Extended Care Program covers the battery each year for up to 10 years of vehicle age or up to one million kilometres driven, subject to an annual service.
Styling
While the bZ4X projects a sleek and high-tech look, the Touring model adopts a series of styling details that emphasise a more rugged and adventurous spirit with a grained black finish for the wheel arches, black wheels and robust roof rails. Toyota has created the bZ4X Touring with a seamless extension of the bZ4X style making it 140 mm longer and 20 mm higher overall increasing the load compartment capacity by more than a third.
The bZ4X Touring is scheduled for release in Ireland in spring 2026, with further pricing, performance and specification details to be confirmed closer to launch.
