"And one of the more promising entries will come from a company that's historically been more reluctant to lean into EVs than others. Slated for debut this year is the 2026 Toyota C-HR: a new, smaller and more affordable member of the Toyota EV family that kicked off with the original bZ4X. That car has been renamed the Toyota bZ for 2026, and it benefits from a wide range of improvements to range, charging, performance and software."
"The C-HRcalled the C-HR+ in other markets, to differentiate its all-electric version from other oneson the same e-TNGA platform as the bZ. But in some ways, it's actually better, in terms of specs. It comes standard with dual-motor all-wheel-drive, eschewing the bZ's front-drive version. That means it packs the same 74.7-kilowatt-hour battery pack in a smaller overall package; it's four inches shorter in wheelbase, two inches shorter and about six inches shorter in total length."
2026 is expected to be a slower year for EV adoption as tax credits disappear, fuel-economy rules relax and tariff pressures mount. Toyota will debut two new battery-powered models, including the smaller, more affordable 2026 C-HR built on the e-TNGA platform. The bZ has been renamed Toyota bZ for 2026 and receives improvements to range, charging, performance and software. The C-HR (called C-HR+ in some markets) comes standard with dual-motor all-wheel drive, uses the same 74.7-kWh battery in a smaller package, targets an estimated 290 miles of range and offers 338 horsepower with an estimated five-second 0-60 mph time. Europe may see more affordable LFP battery options.
