Al-Futtaim has launched the all-new Toyota bZ4X Touring, the first battery electric vehicle (BEV) from Toyota to be launched in the United Arab Emirates. This capable crossover SUV will take drivers and passengers along open roads, into the great outdoors and back again, balancing accessibility and lifestyle appeal with Toyota’s desire to make BEVs a natural choice for more customers in the UAE than ever before.
Drive power performance, superior cargo capacity, and ample cruising range are just a few of the things the new bZ4X Touring has to offer. Throughout its development, Toyota drew from extensive customer feedback on the original bZ4X to create a vehicle that speaks to a diverse group of customers who are truly “Eager for Adventure” and believe in the power of mobility to create lasting memories.
The introduction of the bZ4X Touring in the UAE also marks an important milestone in Toyota’s regional electrification efforts. As the company continues to advance its multi-pathway approach toward carbon neutrality, the new model expands the range of electrified options available to Al-Futtaim’s customers while maintaining Toyota’s longstanding focus on quality, durability and reliability.
EV-Centric Architecture
Built on the dedicated e-TNGA platform, jointly developed with Subaru, the bZ4X Touring benefits from an architecture specifically designed for BEVs. This platform enables optimal battery placement and a low centre of gravity, contributing to improved stability, comfort, and driving performance. The bZ4X Touring delivers a driving range of up to 480 km for confident long-distance travel, demonstrating efficient performance across urban, suburban, and highway driving conditions.
The bZ4X Touring is equipped with a dual-motor 4WD system whose high-output front and rear eAxles deliver a maximum system output of 375 hp. Paired with a 74.7 kWh lithium-ion battery, the system achieves 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in just 4.5 seconds. This, coupled with silicon carbide semiconductors in the eAxles for reduced energy loss, and a new 4WD control system for optimal force distribution, translates to a quieter, more efficient drive experience that outperforms standard gasoline-powered vehicles across a range of situations.
The vehicle’s Drive Mode Select includes X-MODE, developed by Subaru to enhance capability across a range of low-traction and uneven surfaces. With three selectable sub-modes, X-MODE optimises drive force and braking to support stability on challenging terrain, including muddy tracks and steep inclines. By leveraging motor drive characteristics, it can sustain low speeds without requiring accelerator or brake input. Features such as Downhill Assist Control help regulate speed on descents, allowing the driver to focus on steering. In addition, ECO mode helps improve driving range by moderating power output, while NORMAL mode delivers stable and balanced performance for daily driving.
Stylish in the city and capable in the outdoors, the bZ4X Touring makes a clear and confident statement wherever it goes. Its exterior combines sleek body lines with a host of practical design features. Approach the bZ4X Touring and you’ll be immediately drawn to Toyota’s signature hammerhead styling, paired with full LED lighting for a high-tech, almost futuristic appearance. Along the side, wide black over-fenders add to the vehicle’s strong and assertive stance.
Circle around to the rear, and the bZ4X Touring reveals a design that emphasises width and presence, brought to life by a full-width LED rear combination lamp extending across the tailgate to form a distinctive single-line light signature. This integrated system includes tail, stop, turn, reverse, and rear fog functions. Functional elements such as bridge-type roof rails support the transport of longer or bulkier items, while aerodynamic performance is optimised through a large roof spoiler, rear side spoilers, and a carefully shaped lower rear bumper to reduce drag.
The interior of the bZ4X Touring combines a simple, open design with a low-profile horizontal instrument panel for maximum visibility and a spacious, airy feel. Generous legroom and cabin width ensure comfort for all occupants, while a flexible cargo area of 603L and multiple storage hooks make lengthier, luggage and equipment-heavy excursions possible with just one vehicle.
The bZ4X Touring’s advanced digital ecosystem centres around a 14-inch display that integrates navigation, climate control, audio, and vehicle functions for intuitive operation. A tray-style centre console streamlines access to key controls, while wireless charging for two devices and seamless smartphone integration supports uninterrupted connectivity. Customers also benefit from a premium JBL sound system with nine speakers that allows for a truly immersive on-road entertainment experience.
Safety is a prerequisite for any modern adventure, and the bZ4X Touring is equipped with a comprehensive suite of safety and driver assistance features designed to deliver a more controlled and reassuring experience for all onboard. Toyota Safety Sense comes with advanced technologies such as Pre-Collision Braking and Proactive Driving Assist, which provide deceleration and steering support in response to preceding vehicles and road curvature.
Adventure-ready in any setting, the bZ4X Touring is offered in six bold exterior colours, including: Crystal White Pearl, Crystal Black Silica, Magnetite Gray Metallic, Sapphire Blue Pearl, Brilliant Bronze Metallic, and Ice Silver Metallic.
Inside, refined finishes such as black trim and interior colour options in Black and Light Gray blend practicality with a premium, outdoor-oriented character. Aluminium wheels further define the vehicle’s stance, with black-painted 20-inch wheels offering a more rugged appearance.
