Toyota Australia has confirmed the 2026 bZ4X Touring for a May 2026 launch, priced from $69,990 plus on-roads. Despite the badge it shares with the standard bZ4X SUV, the Touring is a separate, longer, wagon-bodied flagship with a sharper performance brief and a much bigger boot. It also happens to be the Subaru Trailseeker's Toyota-badged twin.

Pricing

Optional paint $575 (2WD, AWD, Touring). Two-tone roof on AWD only $1,350. Prices RRP before on-road costs.

What Makes the Touring Different

The Touring isn't just a higher trim. Toyota has stretched the body 140mm behind the rear axle, raised ride height, and fitted a more upright tailgate so the cargo area opens up to 550 litres. Outside, you get unique 20-inch black alloys, front and rear skid plates, ladder-style roof rails, black wheel arches, a black bonnet insert, a rear window wiper and an optional khaki synthetic leather interior. It looks more rugged and a fair bit more wagon-like than the standard SUV.

Underneath, the platform is shared with the new Subaru Trailseeker. Same e-Subaru Global Platform, same 74.7kWh CATL battery, same dual-motor AWD layout. The two cars are arriving in Australian showrooms within weeks of each other.

Performance and Charging

The Touring's 280kW combined system output and 4.4-second 0-100km/h claim make it the quickest production Toyota EV in Australia. That's actually a tenth ahead of the mechanically identical Trailseeker (4.5s), which Toyota is presumably comfortable claiming on the same hardware after extra calibration work.

Charging is unchanged from the rest of the family: 22kW three-phase AC and 150kW CCS2 DC. A 10-80% top-up takes about 30 minutes on a compatible DC charger. Where Toyota gets clever is the launch deal: every private buyer picks between a complimentary 7kW home charger or a Chargefox public charging subscription. Either choice neatly removes the "but where will I charge it" objection. For more on the local network, see our EV charging guide.

Specifications by Variant

Standard Equipment Highlights

Across the family you get a 14-inch touchscreen, 9-speaker JBL audio, dual-zone climate, eight-way power front seats with heating and ventilation, a fixed panoramic roof, dual wireless phone chargers, and a 1500W power inverter. The AWD adds a digital rear-view mirror and infrared front-seat radiant leg heating, both of which carry over to the Touring.

The Touring layers on the rugged exterior gear, the bigger boot, the increased ride height, and gets the option of a khaki synthetic leather upholstery that will suit the "weekend with the kayak" brief Toyota is clearly chasing. There's also a rear window wiper, which is mysteriously absent on the standard bZ4X.

Warranty

Toyota's warranty package is the strongest of any volume EV brand in Australia right now: 10 years and unlimited kilometres on the high-voltage battery, conditional on dealer-stamped servicing. A separate 8-year / 160,000km warranty covers battery degradation below 70% capacity.

Our Take

At $2,000 above the regular bZ4X AWD, the Touring is the obvious pick if you can stretch. You get more boot, more presence, more performance, and the Toyota dealer network plus 10-year battery warranty Subaru can't match. The Trailseeker is the more interesting design and slightly cheaper at $67,990, but the Toyota wins on after-sales reach.

Honestly, the most compelling number here isn't the price or the 0-100 time. It's the 10-year battery warranty. That's the kind of underwriting that quietly converts "I'm worried about EV resale" into "sign me up."
