Toyota bZ4X Touring Hits Australia: Road-Trip Accessories for Toyota's Electric Wagon
CarMoods TeamToyota has finally given Australia a second fully electric model, and it's not the city hatch many expected. The bZ4X Touring, driven by local media earlier this month, is an electric wagon pitched squarely at weekends away — think camping trips, gravel roads and a boot full of gear. It's priced at $69,990 plus on-road costs.
The Touring stretches the standard bZ4X by 14 centimetres to 4.83 metres, opening up a generous 603-litre boot. Its 74.7kWh battery delivers a claimed 488km of WLTP range, and the roof is rated to carry 300 kilograms — enough for a roof tent. Reviewers at The Driven called it smooth, quiet and genuinely fun through the hills, with 0–100km/h dispatched in 4.4 seconds.
Whether you're eyeing the new Touring or already drive a RAV4, Corolla or Camry, the road-trip pitch applies to every Toyota. Here's how to set up your car for touring, with picks from our Toyota accessories, travel and road trip essentials and interior accessories collections.

Why the bZ4X Touring Matters for Australian Road-Trippers
Toyota's pitch for the Touring is refreshingly specific: it's designed so that going electric doesn't ruin your weekend. With 211mm of ground clearance, all-wheel drive and three selectable terrain modes — Normal, Snow/Dirt and Deep Snow/Mud — it's built for gravel and unsealed roads rather than hardcore off-roading.
It also brings vehicle-to-load capability, meaning the car's big battery can power camping gear at your destination. Developed jointly with Subaru (which sells its version as the Trailseeker), the Touring shares DNA with the much-loved Outback — in Europe, Subaru literally calls it the electric Outback.
The bigger picture: Toyota says it will have four full battery-electric models here by the end of next year, including an electric HiLux and the C-HR+. For Toyota loyalists who love a long drive, the electric era is finally arriving in a body style that suits it.
Packing the Boot for a Weekend Away
A 603-litre boot is a gift — but only if you pack it well. Touring trips reward gear that earns its space: portable power, weather protection and mats that shrug off mud.
If you're camping off the back of any car — EV or not — a compact power station keeps lights, phones and a portable fridge running without touching the car's battery.

If you're touring in an EV, pack your charging cable where you can reach it without unloading the boot. A dedicated corner or organiser box near the tailgate opening saves real frustration at a charging stop.
Comfort Upgrades for Long-Distance Touring
Reviewers praised the bZ4X Touring's suspension tune and quiet cabin — but no factory seat suits every body on a four-hour stint. Proper neck and lumbar support is the cheapest fix for long-drive fatigue there is.
