What buyers get
The Touring is sold in a single VXR all-wheel-drive trim with two electric motors producing a combined 375hp. Toyota quotes 0-100km/h in 4.5 seconds, a 74.7kWh battery and a claimed WLTP range of up to 480km. Charging is up to 22kW on AC and 150kW on DC, and the boot holds 603 litres.
Equipment includes a 14-inch central touchscreen, a JBL audio system, Toyota Safety Sense and a Subaru-developed X-MODE system with selectable driving modes, according to Zigwheels.
Context
DubiCars notes that Al-Futtaim's partnership with Toyota dates back to 1955, and that this is the first pure electric Toyota it has offered in the UAE. It arrives days after Lexus, also under Al-Futtaim, launched the RZ 500e and ES 500e.
The range figure is a manufacturer WLTP claim. Real-world range varies with speed, weather and air-conditioning use, and the sources reviewed do not give a measured UAE summer range.
What This Means for UAE Drivers
Toyota owners who want to move to an electric car now have an option from the brand with the largest UAE network, though the line-up is one trim at a fixed price. Home charging access and the 22kW AC rating matter for daily use. Fleet and leasing buyers should check warranty, battery terms and service capacity for the model directly with Al-Futtaim Toyota.
