2026 Toyota bZ4X facelift – EV updated in Thailand with larger battery, up to 525 km WLTP; from RM198k

Toyota has launched the bZ4X facelift for Thailand, where the electric crossover is on sale in two variants, three years on from when the model first arrived in the market.

According to Autolife Thailand, the updated bZ4X as the Long Range FWD is priced at 1,529,000 baht (RM197,507), and the Long Range AWD is priced at 1,649,000 baht (RM213,008), the latter priced slightly less than the dual-motor AWD that was the sole variant at the model’s 2022 market launch in the kingdom.

Starting with the Long Range FWD, this gets a single-motor powertrain producing 224 PS and 269 Nm driving the front wheels, powered by a 73.1 kWh lithium-ion battery providing up to 600 km of range on the NEDC cycle (525 km WLTP). Acceleration from 0-100 km/h is attained in a claimed 7.4 seconds.

The Long Range AWD, as the name indicates, drives all four wheels through a dual-motor powertrain that outputs 343 PS and 338 Nm, powered by the same 73.1 kWh battery that yields up to 570 km of range on the NEDC cycle (481 km WLTP). The 0-100 km/h acceleration benchmark is elapsed in a claimed 5.1 seconds.

      The previous chr is made in Thailand and was sold in Malaysia right? Ask yourself why it can’t sell, then it’s discontinued so the very reason is going to happen to the coming all new Land cruiser fj you mark my word

    it’s so funny to me that umwt is doing who knows what and their endless teaser for this car has spanned multiple years, through an actual facelift, and through the entire duration of our ev tax holiday. make it make sense. it’s so frustrating too because it’s not like they’re offering other cars that are appealing. where on earth is the rav4 ?? and the new prius ?? nope…instead they keep rebadging peroduas and brainwashed people are gaslit to think the toyota version is the ‘better’ car. so many other cool cars they could sell here like the landcruiser, or the highlander or dare i say the 4runner. man i want one of those. but hey lets rebadge more peroduas they say !!

      because umw/toyota/perodua, and honda/drbhicom are both quasi-GLC companies so they operate as so.

    • Just so you’re aware. The Perodua’s are rebadged Daihatsu’s, a company that’s owned by Toyota. When they feed sales numbers up to region, they count Daihatsu as theirs. Also unless the vehicle is CKD, there’s no way they can compete with the pricing of local cars. By bringing in the Rav4, Prius or a Landcruiser CBU would yield low sales volumes for them. Focus is on mass market cars like the vios, cross, hilux etc. If you really wanted those cars, nothing is stopping you from bringing them in recon yourself.

      because umw and drbhicom are quasi-GLCs so they operate in a similar manner

    When it was in 2022:
    In one of the photos, a slide showed the suggested retail price of the bZ4X, which will apparently be 1,865,888 baht without value-added tax (VAT), well below the previous estimate. Said figure is without subsidies factored in, but with it, the sum drops to 1,715,888 baht.

    Today the dual motor Long Range AWD 73.1 kWh 343PS, 5.1s to 100km/h at 1,649,000 baht!

    Toyota in Malaysia still in denial. Overpriced sub-par spec compared to China made ones. I’d rather get a Zeekr than this. Well, good luck anyways.
