The all-new Toyota C-HR Plus EV review: Is this Toyota’s best electric SUV yet?

In this first impressions review, Peter gets an early look at the all-new 2026 Toyota C-HR Plus, Toyota's latest fully electric compact crossover designed to strengthen the brand's growing EV lineup alongside the bZ4X. Rather than simply electrifying the existing C-HR, Toyota has developed a dedicated battery-electric model that targets one of the fastest-growing segments in Europe. Toyota will offer the C-HR Plus with two battery sizes—57 kWh and 77 kWh—as well as front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations. Peter believes the sweet spot of the lineup will be the larger 77 kWh battery paired with front-wheel drive. This version delivers over 600 km of WLTP driving range while maintaining an attractive balance between performance, efficiency, and price. Toyota expects this configuration to account for roughly 60 percent of total sales.

7 road cars with race engines hidden inside

Race hardware ends up in road cars through loopholes, homologation rules and wild ambition. The COPO Camaro ZL1 gets an all-aluminum 427 developed for Can-Am racing, while the Ferrari F50 adapts F1 technology into a usable V12 road car. The Fiat Dino exists so Ferrari can homologate its Formula 2 engine, and the Porsche Carrera GT uses a V10 adapted from a canceled endurance-racing project. Mercedes puts an actual F1-derived hybrid powertrain into the AMG One, Ford turns an EcoBoost race engine into the modern GT’s heart, and Jaguar’s XJ220 swaps its promised V12 for a twin-turbo Group B rally-derived V6 that still makes it the fastest road car of its time.
