"For years, Americans have been clamoring for more electric options from Toyota. The brand has a stellar reputation for reliability and a strong association with cleaner, greener driving, but its all-electric lineup has remained relatively skimpy. Since 2022, its sole EV offering in the U.S. has been the bZ4X, now called the bZ. And at the beginning of its run, the crossover was dogged by lackluster range and charging speeds."
"Toyota plans to launch two more crossovers to round out its battery-powered portfolio in 2026. Pricing will make or break how any new EVsincluding the compact C-HR and larger bZ Woodlandperform in a post-tax-credit environment. And, last week, Toyota quietly announced how much its newest EVs will cost. The C-HR will start at $38,450 for the SE trim, while the XSE version will run you $40,450. (All prices quoted here include destination fees.)"
"Curiously, both are notably more expensive than their Subaru counterparts. Toyota and Subaru codevelop EVs, so each Toyota has a nearly identical Subaru twin. The Subaru Uncharted (similar to the C-HR) starts at $36,445. That's for a front-wheel drive model, whereas the C-HR comes only in all-wheel drive. That helps explain the price difference. Comparing apples to apples, the cheapest all-wheel-drive Uncharted will cost $41,245."
Toyota will add the bZ Woodland wagon and C-HR compact crossover to its U.S. EV lineup, priced at $46,750 and $38,450 respectively. Both models cost more than closely related Subaru counterparts developed jointly by Toyota and Subaru. The C-HR is offered only with all-wheel drive, while the Subaru Uncharted has a cheaper front-wheel-drive option, explaining some price disparities. Since 2022, Toyota's sole U.S. EV has been the bZ4X (now bZ), which initially suffered from limited range and slow charging. Pricing and tax-credit eligibility will heavily influence market reception in 2026.
