Toyota to extend electric line-up for 2026 with all-new bZ4X Touring

Toyota are looking forward to 2026 already by revealing the all-new bZ4X Touring. This will extend Toyota’s electric SUV line-up. They say that this SUV is engineered for those looking for space, power, and more freedom, without compromising on sustainability.

Estates like the bZ4x is just what weekend adventurers and families who love exploring want, marrying generous extra load space with rugged styling, and enhanced performance for those bumpier Irish countryside roads.

Joining Toyota’s expanding lineup of battery electric vehicles, the all-new bZ4X Touring will arrive in the first half of 2026 with for more details in the coming months.

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 surfaces that drivers may encounter when embarking on their next adventure.

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.

The new 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, and further performance and specification details will be confirmed closer to launch.
