Put the ultimate family cruiser to the test with our real-world cross-country range and efficiency review of the all-new Toyota bZ Touring. We are taking this space-maximizing EV on an intensive 331 km coast-to-coast run from Belmullet in County Mayo back to Lusk in North County Dublin. Carrying a typical family load—including a passenger, luggage, and our 14 kg beagle, Darwin—we push its 71.4 kWh usable battery through cross-country roads and full 120 km/h motorway tracks to see if it can conquer the journey with zero range anxiety.

Top Features & Test Results of the Toyota bZ Touring

Incredible Long-Distance Efficiency: Across a comprehensive 331 km cross-country loop, the bZ Touring returned a hyper-efficient 15.7 kWh per 100 km [07:23], heavily aided by optimal warm weather (up to 20°C) and a helpful 18 km/h tailwind [08:11].

Dependable Real-World Range: Factoring the final trip efficiency into the 71.4 kWh usable battery, mathematically proves the bZ Touring can reliably cover a solid 454 km on a single charge at highway speeds [07:53], finishing the long drive with an outstanding 35% battery remaining [06:58].

True Highway Cruising Style: Unlike range tests that require driving slowly, this cross-country run was completed using real-world speeds—matching the adaptive cruise control seamlessly to changing 100 km/h and 120 km/h motorway tracks [02:15].

Supple Ride Quality: The combination of an optimized suspension and chunkier, high-profile sidewall tyres on the standard 18-inch wheels ensures a smooth, highly comfortable ride over bumpy road sections [05:03].

No-Compromise Family Practicality: The massive 669-liter boot capacity easily swallowed heavy travel luggage, allowing for uncompromised cabin space while comfortably securing space for a 14 kg family pet in the back [02:54].

Premium Tech & Connectivity: Arrives heavily kitted with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto mirroring working in tandem with an ultra-crisp 14-inch media screen, paired with standard adaptive speed-sign cruise control [04:34].
