The original #ToyotaCHR started life out as an entry-level #Scion designed to be cheap, small, and quirky for younger buyers. When #Toyota finally brought the #CHR to market, the Scion brand died but the #CoupeHighRider lived on as Toyota’s entry-level sub-compact SUV slotting below the RAV4 in the lineup. For 2026, the C-HR returns as a fully electric sporty SUV with sports car like acceleration and nearly 300 miles of range, all for an attractive $37,000 base price. Its not the same slow and cheap feeling model you remembered from 2017.

Byd sealion7 is by far much much better than this piece of crap
it’s a great video of course, but same complaint as usual, nobody is interested in the 0– 100% charge time, it’s a silly statistic that only turns people off of EVs. Nobody will ever do that charge to their car, but new EV buyers freak out when they hear the number. It’s totally meaningless brother.
You missed commenting on a very important feature for an EV. That is route planning that includes routing to charging stops. I wouldn't buy it unless that feature was available on the native navigation app.
Man i wish the same team that designs the new body would desing the inside dash. Car looks really cool on the outside but im not bying that hidious interior.
Been shopping for the BZ but it’s been out of my budget. I am going to look into this when my dealer has it available.
Can we please stop with the fast-back designs? Traditional wagon/hatch mostly vertical rear glass with a window wiper is the best for both internal space, visibility, and practicality. Stop butchering a good design and making it worse!
That ugly steering wheel ruins that car.
43 thousand for this? Range, 273 miles….? No thank you, get a Tesla, better design and features……this shouldn't start higher than 35, but Toyota has brilliantly bumped up all the prices of their cars since Covid….we'll see, but no thank you for me on this one.
I just don't care for electric automobiles what's the style is very nice🇺🇲👽🇱🇷
The anti- EV company is turning out EV. Go figure. 😂
I'll definitely be looking at one of these when it comes time to replace my Volvo C40. It almost feels like they're related
I hope this car with extremely successful and makes GM and Ford crying to sleep over their recent pullbacks from Evs….
Don't understand why Toyota skipped the entry level version fwd with 224ps….far more affordable.
If Toyota can price these cars aggressively, Tesla is finished!
That top speed is disappointing. Nice car though!
That’s quicker than a Buick Grand National and nearly 1000 pounds heavier.
The BZ costs a bit more but offers much more space. I suspect the BZ will outsell the C-HR 5 to 1.
Such a huge price for such a small range on a single charge? Cheaply assembled and made of cheap plastic. Toyota has completely lost its mind. Idiots.
What kind of battery chemistry? LFP?
Sofyan’s laugh whenever he does the 0-60 test is my fav
Baby step KING 🤴
Crazy that this new CH-R is so fast.
Why are Toyota cars always so ugly, the interior looks cheap
I can't understand Toyota; they manufacture products to compete with each other. This C-HR is almost a RAV4, and on top of that, there's the Toyota Corolla Cross. They killed the Avalon and made the Crown, which you hardly ever see on the streets. They launched the BZ-4, and I've only seen a few of them to this day. They restyled the Venza and stopped producing it a few months later. Let's see what they'll do with the Camry.
Baby Venza
That’s the Mazda Soul Red.
will toyota only discontinue chr hybrid in USA?
Thanks
If this had 500+ hp, I would sell my 2024 Model Y Performance tomorrow and buy this instead
I don’t see how this is a better vehicle
It alienates a good portion of buyers not wanting to live with or unable to charge electric
The last thing we need is more expensive cars
No one drives full throttle every day all the time
$43k for this lil thing? N yet the New BZ starts at $35k? Make that make sense…
43000 is too much
I will need to replace my 24 EV six in October when the lease is up. This looks like a good candidate to replace it. Now, if Toyota will have any good lease deals on it. Which they usually do not.
Akio Toyoda owns us an apology
Toyota has really been cooking lately
Not a great looking car inside or out
the traction light comes on holy crap! 18:42
Electric? Not interested
Just give us what America wants and that is the Crown Sport hatchback
But can I get remote start without a subscription or have it as a hybrid?
Looks nice. I’d still get a Model Y for about the same $. More range, cargo, reliability, etc.
It will also be nice to find out how the winter cold affects the battery range in the new chr, woodland, bz awd trims.
Looking forward to the Uncharted review next week!
People still buy EVs? Lol good luck loser
