  1. Funny if this was a BYD or Geely car you would be going on about the threat to the ONLY pure EV made in Canada the 100 grand Dodge Charger.
    But hey it’s made in Japan a Country Canada actually was at war with and no problem it’s a great car .
    Tell me again why we are supposed to hate Chinese ?

  2. I do believe this is an excellent effort on EV skeptic Toyota. It would be great if it also included the following: glove box, digital rearview mirror, wiper, and 20-30 more miles of range.

  3. Was looking forward to the re-release of the CHR but after viewing this: It’s a Pass… too small and too expensive. I love compact vehicles but you can get the new and remodeled Nissan Kicks for almost half the price with better features than this. I was done once they mentioned JBL speakers 😂😂😂😂

  4. Little high rider and big wheels, reminds me of what the original 4 door Rav4 was like. It's kind of a shame they didn't leave the rear boxy so you get the extra space though.

  5. Materials look a little cheap. Recent Toyota models all seem to have a lot of cheap plastic that scratches easy and gives when you push on it. 🙁

  6. Is the 360 camera view broken? Behind the car we just see the sky, which seems useless. As if the camera housing was mounted upside down. In another video where somebody looked at it in a car show, it was really distorted and cut off close to the car. So, several videos in about this car and I haven't seen one showing the 360 view working…

  7. EV's are dead, sales are tanking. You'll be stuck with a vehicle no one will take off your hands if you buy one now.
    New and lower priced ICE gas-engine vehicles are coming out again in the next two years. Don't waste your money on EV's.

  8. Rivian R2 is pretty much better in every way imaginable and starts at $45,000 US and if you want a CHR alternative the Nissan Leaf is $7,000 cheaper .

  9. thanks for this here is FYI the oil co's are hiding this data
    Engine exhaust contains numerous toxic, cancer-causing chemicals that deeply penetrate the lungs, leading to a high daily death toll from lung cancer, currently 360 Americans.
    Mental Health: Chronic exposure is linked to increased susceptibility to anxiety, depression, and psychological stressDevelopmental Disorders: Prenatal and early childhood exposure is associated with a higher likelihood of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) dCognitive Impairment: Even short-term exposure, such as two hours in a traffic jam, can temporarily lower the brain's connectivity..
    Neurodegenerative Diseases: Research from UCLA Health and Emory University has linked diesel exhaust to an increased risk of Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s
    For those stuck with the old rotary phone ICE vehicle,
    E-85 is much cleaner, mostly less expensive, and helps American farmers.It's now sold everywhere in the states Furthermore, the oil industry's efforts to spread misinformation and obstruct the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs),E.V’s are Zero emissions.

  10. Duck into Canada when the BYD cars get there and you will see so much better vehicles , we have them here in Australia but they’re not the only ones . 😊

  11. First, if I heard correctly, the bZ FWD gets a 57.7kWh battery with no upgrade option in Canada, but the C-HR FWD gets a 77kWh battery. Is that why the bZ FWD is only a $1090 more than the C-HR?
    Second, I was NOT pleasantly surprised that pricing starts well under the threshold for the rebate. Why is it only the wealth get a tax rebate?
    Third, was the NVH of the C-HR similar to the bZ?
