2026 Toyota bZ4X 2WD price and equipment As per 2024 when it first launched, there are two models in the bZ4X line-up, the 2WD we're testing here and the flagship AWD (all-wheel drive). The headline is the price reduction of $10,010 for the 2WD to $55,990 (plus on-road costs) and the $6910 cut to $67,990 (plus ORCs) for the AWD. All 2026 HiLux models, from the base WorkMate to the Rugged X, are powered by the 1GR 2.8-litre diesel engine, backed by either a 6-speed automatic or 6-speed manual depending on the grade.
The engine produces a claimed 150kW and 420Nm with the manual gearbox, or a claimed 500Nm when paired with the automatic. Huge kudos to Toyota Australia for continuing to offer the choice of a manual.
