Toyota Adds 20th Electrified Model With 2026 C-HR BEV: High Power, Long Range, Striking Looks

Toyota continues to move its electrified vehicle portfolio forward by announcing its 2026 bZ Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV). For model year 2026, the model makes advancements in range, output, charging performance, and vehicle design. Leading the charge is a larger lithium-ion battery with a higher total capacity of up to 74.7-kWh, equipped on a newly available XLE Front-Wheel-Drive Plus (FWD Plus) model, as well as the XLE All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) and Limited (FWD/AWD) grades. Models equipped with the new battery are projected to have a manufacturer-estimated rating of&nbsp;up to 314 miles&#x2A; of range on a full charge. A 57.7-kWh battery will also be available on a XLE FWD model.
&nbsp;
The 2026 bZ will be equipped with a North American Charging System (NACS) charging port, giving it access to thousands of high-speed charging stations nationwide. Under ideal conditions when using DC fast charging&#x2A; it is capable of charging from 10% to-80% battery capacity in around 30 minutes. The 2026 Toyota bZ also adopts <a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4425982-1&amp;h=1118701590&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fdriveelectric.gov%2Fnews%2Funiversal-plug-and-charge&amp;a=Plug+%26+Charge">Plug &amp; Charge</a>&nbsp;capability, an industry standard protocol that allows automatic identification, authentication and authorization at selected charging networks, reducing the need for multiple mobile charging applications.
Toyota's compact, lightweight and energy-efficient eAxles have also been upgraded. They now use silicon carbide (SIC) semiconductors, which help deliver higher power output. For AWD models, output increases by 50% to 338 combined system net horsepower (hp), making it capable of going from 0-60 MPH in 4.9 seconds on AWD models. Front Wheel Drive models also boost their output, now delivering up-to 221 hp (previously 201 hp). For AWD models, output increases by 50% to 338 combined system net horsepower (hp), making it capable of going from 0-60 MPH in around 5 seconds. Front Wheel Drive models also boost their output, now delivering up-to 221 hp (previously 201 hp).
The model also receives a name change, switching from the Toyota bZ4X to the Toyota bZ, simplifying the name for customers. The 2026 bZ also presents a refreshed exterior design that harmoniously blends form and function. While maintaining its distinctive aesthetic, the updated model incorporates subtle refinements to the front fascia and lighting elements, with slim LED daytime running lights that integrate into a sleek hammerhead front end. Redesigned front overfenders also change the look, with a newly available color-matched moulding that blends into a lower profile front fascia.

Shares of auto and auto parts stocks are trading higher after the US and China agreed to a temporary reduction in most tariffs on each other's goods. This could alleviate supply chain uncertainty in the sector.

Prominent investor Ross Gerber recently shared that, in his view, Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) subsidiary Google-backed Waymo self-driving technology performs better than human drivers, hinting at growing pressure on ride-sharing and autonomous vehicle rivals.
What Happened: The CEO and co-founder of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth and Investment Management shared his experience on his X account after observing a Waymo vehicle navigate through congested beach traffic. 
&#8220;A Waymo navigated by us with precision that was better than a human. Waymos drive extremely well,&#8221; Gerber stated, adding that this development &#8220;is going to be very tough competition&#8221; for Uber Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) and Elon Musk&#8216;s Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>).
Gerber&#8217;s comments came in response to CBS Sunday Morning correspondent David Pogue&#8216;s segment highlighting Waymo&#8217;s achievement of 50 million miles driven without a fatality. According to Pogue&#8217;s report, Waymo plans expansion to 15 cities by year-end, offering rides at the &#8220;same price as Uber.&#8221;

Why It Matters: The assessment from Gerber directly contradicts the position of prominent Tesla bull and Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives, who recently dismissed the Waymo and Toyota Motor Corp&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>) partnership as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45126638/tesla-will-own-the-autonomous-market-dan-ives-says-shrugging-off-waymo-toyota-agreement">threat to Tesla&#8217;s autonomous ambitions</a>. &#8220;Tesla will own the autonomous market in my view and no one can compete with their scale and scope,&#8221; Ives posted, emphasizing Tesla&#8217;s upcoming Austin robotaxi launch in June as a &#8220;key chapter of growth.&#8221;
Waymo has established significant momentum in the autonomous vehicle race, recently announcing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45001569/waymo-announces-250000-weekly-paid-rides-across-four-us-cities-sundar-pichai-says-personal-ownership-an-option-in-the-future">it provides over 250,000</a> fully autonomous paid rides weekly across four major cities. 
The Alphabet subsidiary has formed a strategic partnership with Toyota to develop autonomous technology for personally owned vehicles, combining Waymo&#8217;s driving system expertise with Toyota&#8217;s manufacturing capabilities.

Toyota Mississippi Experience Center Receives LEED Platinum Certification

Noted investor and TSLA bull Gary Black has shared his thoughts on Uber Technology Inc.'s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) earnings call and the company's autonomous taxi plans, which could give Uber an edge over Tesla Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) Robotaxi launch in June.
What Happened: In a post on social media platform X, Black shared an excerpt of Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi's address on Wednesday.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

Black then expanded upon what was said with his thoughts. "For those who think<a href="https://x.com/search?q=%24TSLA&amp;src=cashtag_click"> </a>$TSLA will be only one that can offer an autonomous ride-hailing option, think again." He said.

</figure>
He highlighted how Uber could have an advantage in the autonomous ride-hailing segment, as the company would "welcome any player" to "monetize their vehicles by including them on the UBER platform." Black said in the post.
He also pointed out that Uber already has over 100 Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) Waymo AVs in Austin, Texas. "If TSLA has 10-20 autonomous vehicles and UBER has &gt;100 vehicles in Austin, which platform will an Austin rider choose if they are both offered at the same cost per mile?" the investor said.
Why It Matters: The Tesla Bull's comments coincide with the company's anticipated <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/45002938/tesla-bull-gary-black-says-robotaxi-experiment-in-austin-with-10-20-cars-does-not-warrant-billions-in-valuation-potential">robotaxi launch </a>in Austin, Texas, next month, which Black had called "an experiment."

However, the company still lags behind Waymo, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/45090602/google-backed-waymo-and-toyota-forge-strategic-partnership-to-bring-autonomous-driving-tech-to-personally-owned-vehicles">recently partnered up</a> with Toyota Motor Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>) to develop autonomous driving technology and even explore personal ownership.

Uber Could Outpace Elon Musk's Tesla In Robotaxi Race, Says TSLA Bull Gary Black

Toyota Motor Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>) has projected a one-fifth decline in operating profit for the fiscal year ending March 2026, citing significant headwinds from President Donald Trump&#8216;s tariff policies and a stronger yen just one year after posting record earnings. 
What Happened: Toyota CEO Koji Sato announced Thursday that the world&#8217;s largest automaker expects a $1.3 billion financial impact from U.S. tariffs in April and May alone, with future effects &#8220;very difficult to forecast&#8221; due to extreme uncertainty in global trade relations, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/08/business/toyota-earnings-trump-tariffs.html">reported</a> the New York Times. 
&#8220;The current environment surrounding the auto industry, including trade relations, is in extreme flux,&#8221; Sato said during a briefing. 
The somber outlook represents a dramatic reversal from May 2024, when Toyota reported the highest annual profit ever recorded by a Japanese firm.

Why it matters: According to JPMorgan analyst Akira Kishimoto, Japanese automakers collectively could face a potential hit of 4.46 trillion yen (about $29.44 billion) from the tariffs, though Toyota <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/45049101/toyota-eyes-major-shakeup-with-42-billion-offer-for-toyota-industries">remains JPMorgan&#8217;s top pick given its resilience</a> and strong fundamentals.
Toyota is reportedly considering shifting production of its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44909696/toyota-eyes-us-assembly-of-rav4-in-kentucky-as-a-shield-against-trumps-tariffs">next-generation RAV4 SUV to Kentucky</a> by 2027 to bypass the tariffs, according to Reuters. The RAV4 was America&#8217;s best-selling vehicle in 2024, with over 475,000 units sold, representing approximately 20% of Toyota&#8217;s total U.S. vehicle sales.
Other automakers have made similar downward revisions, with General Motors lowering its 2025 profit forecast by over 20% last week, citing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45150325/gm-cut-its-2025-forecast-on-tariffs-but-core-business-holds-up-says-goldman-sachs">projected cost increases of $4 billion or more</a> from the Trump tariffs.

Trump Tariffs To Cost Toyota $1.3 Billion As Japanese Automaker Warns Forecasting Is 'Very Difficult' Amid Uncertainty

Amazon.com Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) autonomous vehicle company Zoox has reportedly recalled over 270 vehicles to rectify a software issue that led to a crash in Las Vegas, Nevada, on April 8, 2025.
What Happened: A Zoox robotaxi, which had no occupants at the time, crashed into a passenger vehicle in Las Vegas. However, no injuries were reported following the accident, Reuters reported on Tuesday.
Following the crash, the company had reportedly halted operations and initiated a safety review as well as developed a software update to rectify the issue, the report suggests.
Zoox says its software "may make an inaccurate prediction when another vehicle slowly approaches perpendicularly and stops. In these scenarios, the Zoox vehicle may not be able to avoid a crash.&#8221;
The AV company also conceded that the issue may occur at speeds greater than 40 miles per hour when a vehicle "incrementally encroaches" from a perpendicular driveway, the report said.
Why It Matters: The recall comes in as the autonomous vehicle sector in the U.S. is steadily gaining pace, with Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) Waymo leading the charge, followed by Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and Zoox.&nbsp;
Waymo <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/45090602/google-backed-waymo-and-toyota-forge-strategic-partnership-to-bring-autonomous-driving-tech-to-personally-owned-vehicles">recently partnered</a> with Toyota Motor Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>) to collaborate on developing autonomous vehicles, with special focus on personal ownership.

'US House Is Likely to Kill EV Tax Credit, Speaker Johnson Says'- Bloomberg

President Donald Trump says he will personally phone chief executives who make business moves he dislikes, a tactic he deployed last week with Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) founder Jeff Bezos over planned tariff disclosures on the e‑commerce giant's site.
What Happened: In an <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-call-ceos-plans-prices-tariffs-rcna204702">interview</a> on NBC's "Meet the Press," Trump recounted calling Bezos after Punchbowl News reported Amazon might label import fees tied to the administration's new 145% tariff on Chinese goods. "He's just a very nice guy," Trump said. "I asked him about [the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/04/45086459/amazon-pressures-suppliers-for-discounts-may-show-tariff-related-costs-on-haul-site">tariff disclosure</a>]. He said, ‘Well, I don't want to do that,' and he took it off immediately." Amazon later confirmed the low‑cost Haul storefront had only "considered" the idea and dropped it.
Trump insisted he would ring any CEO whose actions he deemed "hurtful to the country." He framed tariffs not as consumer taxes but as incentives to reshore manufacturing. "The company eats the tariff," he told moderator Kristen Welker.
Asked whether fewer toys on store shelves would mark success, Trump replied, "Maybe the children will have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/25/05/45144516/trump-a-grinch-or-santa-for-christmas-children-will-have-two-dolls-instead-of-30-dolls">two dolls instead of thirty</a>. … We don't have to waste money on a trade deficit with China for junk we don't need."

Why It Matters: Economist Peter Schiff <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45152587/trumps-call-to-jeff-bezos-over-amazons-tariff-display-earns-peter-schiffs-ire-type-of-stuff-you-migh">blasted Trump's call</a> to Jeff Bezos, calling it "the type of stuff you might expect to see in China." Sen. Elizabeth Warren followed up with a pointed letter to the Amazon founder, asking if Trump's angry phone call pushed Bezos to kill the tariff‑label plan in exchange for "promises or favors." <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/25/05/45128591/elizabeth-warren-asks-jeff-bezos-if-trump-threatened-retaliation-or-offered-favors-after-calling-him-very-nice-for-amazons-reversal-on-showing-tariff-fees">Warren warned</a> that scrubbing tariff costs "keeps consumers in the dark" and could signal a corrupt quid‑pro‑quo between Big Tech and the White House.
Days later, Trump marked his first 100 days back in office by welcoming more than <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/45060579/nvidia-johnson-johnson-hyundai-toyota-softbank-ceos-to-join-trump-at-white-house-as-he-touts-inv">two dozen corporate chiefs</a> to the White House. He used the "Investing in America" event to spotlight new spending commitments from powerhouses such as NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Johnson &amp; Johnson (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNJ#NYSE">JNJ</a>), Hyundai Motor (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HYMTF#OTC">HYMTF</a>), Toyota Motor Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>), and SoftBank Group (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>), according to officials who briefed Reuters.

Consumer Tech News (Apr 28-May 2): Trump May Ease Auto Part Tariffs,  House Republicans Tabled $250 Charge On EV & More

Uber Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) will operate more self-driving taxis through its platform as the ride-hailing giant announced a partnership with May Mobility Inc.
What Happened: The company plans to deploy "thousands" of May Mobility autonomous vehicles in the multi-year partnership, with a pilot launch set for the latter part of 2025 in Arlington, Texas, according to an official statement released on Thursday.
Under the terms of the agreement, May Mobility will provide a fleet of American-made, hybrid-electric Toyota Motor Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>) Sienna Autono-MaaS vehicles, which Uber will offer to customers as an option on all qualifying rides. The companies will expand operations to other cities in the U.S. in 2026.
"We are thrilled to be partnering with May Mobility to continue to scale the availability of autonomous vehicles across the United States," Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said.
Why It Matters: The news comes in as Uber recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44988070/autonomous-ride-hailing-just-got-real-vw-and-uber-reveal-first-us-city">announced a partnership</a> with Volkswagen Group (OTCPK: VWAGY) for autonomous vehicles starting in Los Angeles.
The autonomous driving segment has been picking up steam with Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Waymo having<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/45090602/google-backed-waymo-and-toyota-forge-strategic-partnership-to-bring-autonomous-driving-tech-to-personally-owned-vehicles"> joined hands with</a> Toyota to collaborate on AVs.
Elsewhere, Elon Musk's Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) is also gearing up to launch its robotaxi services in Austin in June this year, according to the billionaire. The company has already <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/44972108/tesla-quietly-launched-robotaxi-service-for-employees-before-june-debut-now-reports-1500-completed-trips">released a limited rollout</a> in Austin and San Francisco for its employees.
The CEO of Tesla shared in the company's earnings call that it will deploy ‘10 to 20' Model Y robotaxis on the first day, which, among other factors, led TSLA Stock to surge in value after the earnings call.
Price Action: Uber currently trades for $80.89 on the NYSE, according to<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard"> Benzinga Pro data</a>.
