Facelifted Toyota bZ4X Gains New ‘Touring’ Variant in Europe

The facelifted Toyota bZ4X gains a new ‘Touring’ variant in Europe, featuring rugged and wagon-inspired design tweaks.

Just months after making its debut, the facelifted Toyota bZ4X has gained a new ‘Touring’ variant in Europe. And as its name suggests, this electric crossover gains several rugged and wagon-inspired design tweaks that make it ready for adventure across European wilderness.

By far the biggest and most important change granted to the bZ4X Touring is in its dimensions, where the EV SUV has been stretched by 140 mm in length to make it look more like a proper estate. Its height has also been increased by 20 mm, giving it a more jacked-up off-roader SUV look.

Further accentuating its off-road readiness is the plastic underbody cladding that is now extended to the fenders, while the more robust roof rails look ready to accommodate any extra load or equipment. Topping off the design changes for the bZ4X Touring are the redesigned LED taillights that feature a thicker light bar, a more rugged rear bumper, new all-black alloy wheels, and the exclusive Brilliant Bronze paint scheme.

Thanks to its stretched-out exterior, the bZ4X Touring gets a larger boot space of 600 litres, which is 148 litres larger than the ones on its vanilla twin. Other than that, the Touring model adopts the same cabin setup as the facelifted bZ4X, featuring key amenities such as a larger 14-inch infotainment screen and a redesigned central console with a rotary-style gear selector, while the City Moss interior hue is exclusive to the Touring variant.

Beneath its rugged facade, the new bZ4X Touring is essentially a Toyota-badged version of the new Subaru Trailseeker, as both cars underpin the same e-TNGA platform and the dual-motor AWD powertrain setup. Unlike the previous bZ4X AWD, the new dual-motor setup on the bZ4X Touring features two identical electric motors for better off-road balance. Combined, this powertrain setup delivers 376 HP, up from the 338 HP output from the standard bZ4X AWD variant, thus making it the most powerful Toyota EV to date.

Similar to its SUV twin, the bZ4X Touring draws its power from a sizable 74.4-kWh battery pack, which can be charged via either an 11 kW AC or 150 kW DC. Although Toyota has yet to reveal its claimed WLTP range, we can expect the Touring to get slightly less range than its vanilla twin, considering it boasts a more potent total system output.

Sales for the all-new Toyota bZ4X Touring are expected to commence sometime later in spring 2026, with the UK poised to become among the first European markets to get it. In the North American market, this rugged SUV estate is known as the Toyota bZ Woodland, which is also slated to arrive in early 2026.
