A more powerful 376bhp dual-motor variant will top the range, and with its second motor also delivers all-wheel drive. In order to make the most of this added driveability, Toyota’s X-Mode is fitted, which will augment the power delivery to help in slippery conditions. Official WLTP range figures for this variant haven’t been released as yet, but expect a small dip compared to the single-motor car.
Both powertrain options feature 150kW DC fast charging, and come with an 11kW or 22kW on-board charger for the single and dual-motor options, respectively. These are not quite class-leading figures when compared to many Korean or European rivals, but they’re no longer a million miles away in terms of range, as the previous generation bZ4X was.
In terms of design, the new Touring borrows much from its new Subaru Trailseeker sibling that’ll also be arriving in Europe later this year, but dons a slightly less rugged look with a sleeker front end defined by slim, C-shaped daytime running lights.
Along with the standard bZ4X, the interior’s also been given a scrub up, with a larger central infotainment screen and redesigned centre console that liberates more small item storage space.
Specific UK trims and prices have yet to be set, but we expect things to kick off at around £45,000 for the entry-level model. We’ll find out more closer to the car’s arrival in the spring of next year.
