The Toyota bZ4X Touring is now on sale in the UAE from AED 184,900, and Al-Futtaim Toyota is calling it the brand's first fully electric car sold locally. The longer, more rugged version of the Toyota bZ4X brings 375hp, dual-motor all-wheel drive and up to 480km of range. Here is what UAE buyers get.
Toyota bZ4X Price in the UAE
The Toyota bZ4X Touring price in the UAE starts at AED 184,900 through Al-Futtaim Toyota, the brand's official distributor. That places it in the heart of the mid-size electric SUV class, priced against petrol and hybrid family SUVs rather than premium electric models.

It matters because Toyota has built its electrified line-up in the UAE on hybrids such as the Camry, Corolla and RAV4. The bZ4X Touring gives loyal Toyota buyers a fully electric option without leaving the dealer they know.
Toyota bZ4X Touring Specs and Performance
The bZ4X Touring uses two electric motors, one on each axle, producing a combined 375hp. Toyota quotes 0 to 100km/h in 4.5 seconds, which makes it quicker than most family SUVs on sale in the UAE. A 74.7kWh lithium-ion battery feeds the motors.

Silicon carbide semiconductors in the drive units cut energy losses, which helps efficiency. Toyota has not yet published a top speed or charging times for UAE cars.
Range in UAE Conditions and Off-Road Ability
The Toyota bZ4X Touring is rated for up to 480km on the WLTP cycle. In the UAE, expect less in July and August, when the air-conditioning works hard and Sheikh Zayed Road speeds raise consumption. For daily Dubai and Abu Dhabi commutes, the range is ample.
The Touring adds Subaru's X-MODE system with three settings that adjust power and braking for sand, gravel and wet surfaces. Downhill Assist Control holds a steady speed on steep descents, a useful aid on routes like Jebel Jais or the tracks around Hatta. ECO and NORMAL modes let drivers trade efficiency for response.
Design: What Makes the Touring Different?
The bZ4X Touring wears Toyota's hammerhead nose with slim LED lights, and adds black wheel-arch cladding and bridge-type roof rails for bikes, boxes or camping gear. The rear gets a full-width LED light bar, a large roof spoiler and side spoilers that help the airflow.
Six colours are offered: Crystal White Pearl, Crystal Black Silica, Magnetite Gray Metallic, Sapphire Blue Pearl, Brilliant Bronze Metallic and Ice Silver Metallic.
Interior, Technology and Safety
The cabin pairs a low, horizontal instrument panel for better forward visibility with a 14-inch touchscreen that runs navigation, climate, audio and vehicle settings. At 603 litres, the boot suits families who regularly load up for weekends away, desert camping trips or airport runs.
Wireless charging for two smartphones
Smartphone connectivity
Nine-speaker JBL audio
Tray-style centre console with extra storage
Black or Light Gray upholstery
Toyota Safety Sense is standard, including Pre-Collision Braking and Proactive Driving Assist, which adds gentle braking and steering support when closing on traffic or entering bends. The low-mounted battery also keeps the centre of gravity down.
Ownership and Rivals
Al-Futtaim Toyota has not yet announced the warranty, battery cover or service package for the bZ4X Touring in the UAE, so buyers should confirm these at the showroom. Toyota's strong resale record in the UAE is built on petrol and hybrid models, and electric resale values are still unproven.
In the new car market, the bZ4X Touring faces the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6 and a growing list of Chinese electric SUVs. Buyers who prefer to wait can watch the used Toyota market as early cars change hands.
Verdict: Is the Toyota bZ4X Touring Worth It?
The Toyota bZ4X Touring makes a strong case for UAE families ready to go electric. It offers 375hp, all-wheel drive, a 603-litre boot and up to 480km of range from AED 184,900, backed by Toyota's local dealer network.
