- Toyota launched the bZ4X Touring (bZ Woodland in the US) in Europe on Thursday, adding a more powerful rear eAxle and rugged styling.
- Toyota bZ4X Touring AWD delivers 375 hp (280 kW) and 0‑100 km/h in 4.5 s, making it Toyota’s fastest EV and its most powerful vehicle outside the GR line.
- bZ4X Touring uses a 74.7 kWh lithium‑ion battery, giving a WLTP range of up to 367 mi (591 km) for the FWD model and 328 mi (528 km) for AWD.
- bZ4X Touring is 140 mm longer than the standard bZ4X, providing up to 669 L of cargo space (48 % more) and towing capacities of 3,300 lb (AWD) or 1,650 lb (FWD).
- Toyota will sell the Touring in the UK from £45,995 (£51,695 for AWD) starting June with deliveries in July, while US pricing begins at $45,300 with a 281‑mi EPA range.
Why it matters: Buyers gain a higher‑performance, roomier EV at a modest price premium, while Toyota expands its electric lineup to compete more aggressively in the premium SUV segment, potentially shifting market share from rivals.
