Toyota Just Broke Silence on Their Small "Stout" Pickup
The video discusses the strong market demand for a small, entry-level pickup truck in the US, exemplified by the Ford Maverick's success. Toyota ... moreexecutives acknowledge dealer and customer requests for such a vehicle, smaller than the Tacoma and Tundra, but remain tight-lipped about development timelines. The reviewer highlights Toyota's testing of the Ford Maverick and the potential of their own EPU concept, suggesting a hybrid or plug-in hybrid (PHEV) variant would be a hit. The discussion then shifts to Toyota's broader PHEV strategy, aiming for a tenfold increase in availability by 2030, with a focus on performance and extended electric range. Finally, the video touches upon a recall affecting nearly half a million Toyota Tundra trucks due to a lighting issue. The reviewer expresses enthusiasm for a potential Stout PHEV, citing its efficiency and dual-car nature, but notes current PHEV pricing as a significant barrier. less
The 2027 Lexus RX RR Will Have Game-Changing Performance
This video discusses the highly anticipated 2027 Lexus RX 'Morizo RR', a performance-oriented variant poised to redefine the model's ca... morepabilities. The reviewer highlights Lexus's past struggles with offering performance in its F-Sport trims, noting the current RX 500H, while improved, still falls short of German competitors. The upcoming Morizo RR, however, is expected to be a game-changer, targeting an impressive 600 horsepower from a 2.0L turbo hybrid powertrain. Key features discussed include a potential plug-in hybrid system, AWD with a focus on rear-axle electric power, and a specially tuned suspension. The reviewer expresses excitement for Lexus's shift towards high-performance hybrids, potentially phasing out the 'F' branding for 'Morizo RR' and other designations. The video also touches on Lexus's evolving electrification strategy, suggesting a continued focus on advanced hybrids and plug-in hybrids rather than a full transition to battery-electric for global models. The reviewer is about 75% convinced of the Morizo RR's existence and anticipates an official reveal in late 2026. less
Toyota's Cheapest EV Is As Good As A Lexus? // 2026 Toyota bZ XLE 57.7kWh
The 2025 Toyota bZ (formerly bZ4X) reviewed here is the most affordable EV offering from Toyota in the US, presented in the XLE FWD trim with a smalle... morer 57.7 kWh battery. Despite the reduced battery size, the reviewer is impressed, noting it achieves comparable or even better range than previous models with larger packs, estimating around 236 miles. The vehicle boasts a more efficient 168 horsepower motor, improved styling with a new grille and light bar, and the adoption of the NACS charging port. Key interior upgrades include a larger 14-inch touchscreen and a more refined dashboard. The reviewer highlights the comfortable ride quality, comparing it favorably to Lexus, and praises the efficiency, achieving 5 miles per kWh in city driving. While it lacks one-pedal driving and the infotainment system takes some getting used to, the reviewer concludes that this 'cheap Toyota EV' is a "fantastic buy" for in-town driving, offering good value, instant electric response, and a comfortable, refined experience. less
The 2025 Prius Nightshade Is a Beautiful and Efficient Hatch. Can I Still Recommend?
The 2025 Toyota Prius Nightshade, presented in the striking 'Karashi' yellow, is lauded for its dramatic aesthetic transformation and impres... moresive efficiency, achieving over 50 MPG. The reviewer highlights its surprisingly powerful acceleration, with 0-60 mph times around 7 seconds, and praises the refined hybrid system and agile handling, noting it feels like a departure from the traditional Prius image. However, significant drawbacks are identified: the high price point, particularly for the Nightshade trim, is a major concern, with the reviewer suggesting it's overpriced above $30,000. Interior complaints include a lack of rear air vents and a peculiar placement of the volume knob. Rear visibility is also noted as minimal, though not a deal-breaker. Ultimately, while the design and efficiency are strong positives, the high cost makes it difficult to recommend over more value-oriented competitors like the Camry Hybrid or even the base LE trim of the Prius itself. less
Here's Every Upgrade and Downgrade for the Redesigned 2026 Toyota Rav4 Hybrid and PHEV
The 2026 Toyota RAV4 undergoes a significant redesign, moving to an all-hybrid lineup with both HEV and PHEV options. The reviewer highlights several ... morekey improvements, including a more powerful hybrid system (up to 236 hp in AWD models), a significantly enhanced PHEV powertrain with 320 hp and an estimated 50-mile electric range, and the introduction of Toyota's new Aren software platform for improved connectivity and over-the-air updates. The styling is praised, with particular commendation for the Woodland grade's rugged appearance and the GR Sport's performance-oriented tuning. The standard 12-inch digital cluster and improved structural rigidity for a better driving experience are also noted positives. However, the reviewer points out several drawbacks: the discontinuation of the gasoline-only model, the absence of a PHEV option on core trims (LE, XLE, Limited), and the lack of a front-wheel-drive option for the PHEV in the US market. The most significant criticism is the removal of physical climate controls, replaced by touchscreen inputs, which is deemed a major step backward for usability. Additionally, the GR Sport model appears to be compromised in terms of features like a sunroof, accessory power outlets, and charging speeds, and the 1.25-inch tow hitch receiver is seen as inadequate for the vehicle's 3500 lb towing capacity. less
The 2026 Lexus ES is No Longer Playing It Safe - Obtains Flagship Status
The 2026 Lexus ES undergoes a significant transformation, shedding its conservative image to embrace a more assertive, flagship-worthy design. The rev... moreiewer highlights the striking new exterior, particularly the radical hood design and the adoption of Lexus's latest design language, drawing comparisons to the LF-ZC concept and even suggesting it blurs the lines between the ES and LS. While the exterior is praised for its boldness, the interior receives mixed reactions. The materials are generally upscale, with notable mentions of bamboo trim and soft-touch surfaces, but some elements like the thin steering wheel and the shared shifter with the RAV4 are criticized. The reviewer appreciates the hidden physical buttons for climate control and the intuitive cruise control setup. Powertrain options include a hybrid with around 243 horsepower and available AWD, and two BEV models (ES 350e and ES 500e). The ES 350e is estimated at 300 miles of range, while the ES 500e offers AWD and is estimated at 250 miles. The reviewer notes the adoption of NACS charging ports and DC fast charging capabilities. Overall, the new ES is seen as a substantial upgrade, positioning itself as a more premium and visually engaging offering in the sedan market, potentially even taking over the flagship sedan role from the LS. less
Full Tour of 2026 Toyota Rav4 Limited, Woodland, and GR Sport
The 2026 Toyota RAV4 undergoes a significant redesign, marking its 6th generation and a complete shift to electrified powertrains, available as either... more Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) or Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV). The GR Sport trim, a first for the RAV4 in America, boasts GR-tuned handling, aggressive styling, and an exhilarating PHEV powertrain with standard AWD, delivering up to 320 hp and an estimated 50-mile all-electric range. The Woodland grade offers a rugged aesthetic with all-terrain tires, higher ride height, and standard AWD on both HEV and PHEV versions, featuring a notable 1500-watt accessory power outlet. The Limited trim presents a more premium look with chrome accents and optional features like a panoramic roof. Key improvements across the lineup include a more powerful 5th generation hybrid system (236 hp for AWD models) and the introduction of front-wheel-drive hybrid options for the first time. The interior sees upgrades with a standard 12-inch infotainment screen (or 10.5-inch on base models), improved materials, and new technology like Toyota's Arene software. While the GR Sport impresses with its sporty features and performance, the Woodland grade stands out for its distinctive styling and off-road readiness. The reviewer highlights the improved interior quality, especially compared to some Lexus models, and the overall appeal of the redesigned RAV4, positioning it to further dominate the market. less
Toyota's All-New 2026 Rav4 Revealed
The 2026 Toyota RAV4 marks a significant evolution, embracing an all-electrified lineup with both Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) and Plug-in Hybrid Ele... morectric Vehicle (PHEV) options. The reviewer highlights the introduction of the GR-Sport trim, a first for the US market, featuring GR-tuned handling and an exhilarating PHEV powertrain. The Woodland grade also garners praise for its rugged styling and standard AWD. A key improvement is the PHEV's estimated 50-mile all-electric range, a substantial increase from the previous generation. The HEV models now offer up to 236 hp. The interior receives a modern update with Toyota's new Arene software platform and a standard 12-inch digital gauge cluster, though the reviewer expresses mixed feelings about the touch-capacitive climate controls. While the front-end design, particularly on the Woodland, is lauded for its aggressive and modern aesthetic, reminiscent of a 4Runner, the rear design is noted to bear a resemblance to the Nissan Rogue. The reviewer is particularly impressed with the functional steering wheel and the return of a traditional shifter on some models. Overall, the RAV4 is poised to continue its sales dominance with these comprehensive upgrades, though pricing and final specifications are still to be announced. less
This Is the Honda Announcement I've Been Waiting Years For
Honda has officially announced a significant shift in its electrification strategy, prioritizing hybrid (HEV) models to bridge the gap towards full el... moreectrification by 2040. This move comes as the company lowers its global EV sales forecast for 2030 due to a market slowdown and postpones its Canadian EV supply chain investment. The core of the new strategy involves developing robust hybrid systems for larger platform vehicles, including SUVs and potentially minivans, with a target launch starting in 2027. These next-generation hybrids are expected to offer enhanced performance, higher towing capabilities (matching V6 models), and improved efficiency, with a goal of reducing system costs by over 50%. While the Prelude will offer a glimpse of the new hybrid tech this year, the larger vehicles are still 2-3 years away. Honda also plans to integrate advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) into its hybrid lineup, mirroring its EV strategy. This announcement signals a pragmatic approach, acknowledging the current market demand for hybrids and adjusting its roadmap accordingly. less
Lexus Just Revealed The 2026 ES And RZ For America. Here's Why I'm Worried.
The reviewer expresses significant concern regarding the 2026 Lexus ES and RZ models for the American market. For the RZ, the primary disappointment s... moretems from the powertrain offerings, particularly the all-wheel-drive variant, which receives a power output significantly lower (308 hp) than its European counterpart (375 hp) and even some Toyota models. This, coupled with a range of 260 miles, makes it a tough sell against competitors like the Hyundai Ioniq 5N. The ES redesign, while featuring a new design language and hybrid/BEV options, is criticized for prioritizing the BEV over the hybrid, potentially tanking sales of Lexus's best-selling sedan. The interior design, particularly the lack of physical buttons and the perceived reduction in luxury materials compared to previous generations and even some Toyota models, is a major point of contention. The reviewer feels Lexus is losing its value proposition and distinct identity in the luxury market, offering interiors that feel upscale but not truly luxurious, and powertrains that are outpaced by other brands and even within Toyota's own lineup. less
Toyota Grand Highlander Instead? 2025 Lexus TX 500h Review and Buying Guide
The 2025 Lexus TX 500h F SPORT Performance is a competent, comfortable, and quiet three-row luxury crossover, particularly praised for its refined hyb... morerid powertrain and exceptional Mark Levinson sound system. However, the reviewer finds it significantly compromised by its high price point, especially when compared to its Toyota Grand Highlander sibling. Key criticisms include a flimsy and creaky dashboard, a lack of physical climate controls, a confusing touchscreen interface for drive modes, and a disappointing six-seat configuration in the hybrid model. While the powertrain is lauded for its smoothness and power, the reviewer feels the F SPORT trim doesn't deliver a truly sporty driving experience, with excessive body roll at the limit and a steering feel that transmits too many road imperfections. Ultimately, the vehicle is deemed a "solid buy" at best, but its value proposition is severely undermined by the existence of the similarly equipped, more functional, and significantly cheaper Toyota Grand Highlander, making the Lexus badge the primary differentiator for a substantial price increase. less
First Look at Toyota's New Wagon: Here's the 2026 bZ Woodland Off-Road Missile
The Toyota bZ Woodland marks a significant and welcome return of the wagon body style to Toyota's electric lineup, directly challenging the Subar... moreu Trail Seeker. The reviewer praises its "hammerhead" styling, which is seen as cleaner and more attractive than the bZ4X and even the Subaru counterpart. Key highlights include its standard 375 horsepower AWD system, promising a 0-60 mph time of around 4.5 seconds, and a rugged aesthetic with 8.3 inches of ground clearance and standard roof rails. While the interior shares components with other Toyota/Lexus models, potentially aiding cost reduction, the reviewer notes the circular steering wheel as a positive differentiator over the Subaru. The estimated 260 miles of range and 30-minute 10-80% charging time are considered adequate but not class-leading. The reviewer expresses strong enthusiasm for the vehicle's design and utility, deeming it potentially the most "badass EV" in the current Toyota/Lexus range, despite some reservations about charging speed and range compared to competitors. less
Better Than Land Cruiser? The 2025 Jeep Wrangler Willys 41 Is Loads of Fun.
The 2025 Jeep Wrangler 4xe Willys '41 edition offers a compelling blend of retro styling and modern plug-in hybrid technology, though it comes wi... moreth notable compromises. The reviewer praises its unique "41" heritage theme, comfortable and breathable cloth seats, and the surprisingly refined ride quality, especially with the 33-inch all-terrain tires. The plug-in hybrid powertrain, while not class-leading in electric range (achieving around 25 miles in testing, falling short of the 21-mile EPA estimate), is lauded for its flexibility and smooth operation, particularly the regen braking. The reviewer found it more enjoyable to drive than the new Toyota Land Cruiser J250. However, criticisms include the high starting MSRP (though significant discounts are available), the loud cabin at highway speeds, and the poor efficiency of the electric-only mode. Despite these drawbacks, the reviewer's overall enjoyment and preference for this Jeep over other vehicles tested, especially when found at a discount, places it in the 'A tier' category. less
Revived! Toyota's 2026 C-HR is Back in America and It's Faster Than GR Corolla
The 2026 Toyota C-HR makes a strong return to the US market as a stylish, all-electric crossover. The reviewer highlights its significantly improved a... moreesthetics over the BZ4X, praising its coupe-like profile and modern interior featuring a 14-inch touchscreen and customizable ambient lighting. Standard all-wheel drive across both SE and XSE trims provides 338 horsepower, enabling a 0-60 mph time under five seconds, comparable to the GR Corolla. While the battery capacity (74.7 kWh) is slightly smaller than the European version, it achieves an EPA-estimated 290 miles of range, narrowly beating the AWD BZ4X. Cargo space is comparable to the BZ4X, though the C-HR's sloping roofline might impact practicality for some. Key features include DC fast charging with NACS, battery pre-conditioning, and adjustable regen braking via steering wheel paddles, a first for a Toyota EV in the US. The reviewer is enthusiastic about its arrival, deeming it a more attractive and polished electric vehicle offering from Toyota. less
Toyota Just Scrapped The BZ4X // Here's The Vastly Improved 2026 Toyota BZ
The 2026 Toyota bZ (formerly bZ4X) receives a significant overhaul, addressing key shortcomings of its predecessor. The most notable improvements incl... moreude a substantial range increase, with the top FWD model now reaching 314 miles and AWD models seeing a considerable boost in horsepower (338 combined hp) alongside enhanced range. The adoption of the NACS port and improved DC fast charging with battery preconditioning are welcome additions. The exterior gets a restyled front end and optional color-matched overfenders, while the interior features a larger 14-inch touchscreen and updated console. However, the removal of physical climate controls is a point of contention. Despite these upgrades, the reviewer questions if the bZ will capture market interest, especially with the upcoming CHR Plus, which is considered better looking and potentially more efficient. less
EU Is Choking On Their Emissions Regulations!
The European Union's decision to soften its CO2 emissions targets for cars and vans is a pragmatic response to the economic realities faced by it... mores auto industry. The transcript highlights that the original stringent targets, which mandated a rapid shift to EVs, were proving financially unsustainable, potentially costing manufacturers billions and jeopardizing jobs. European automakers are struggling to compete with Chinese EV manufacturers due to a lack of established battery supply chains and higher production costs. The reviewer argues that forcing EVs prematurely, without adequate infrastructure and cost competitiveness, harms consumers and the industry. While the EU's move provides some relief, it's acknowledged that the burden in 2025 will remain significant. The video also touches upon other industry challenges, including potential price hikes for Mitsubishi due to US tariffs and Nissan's job cuts, contrasting these with Audi's cautious optimism regarding trade regulations. Finally, it briefly discusses the upcoming Genesis GV80 Hybrid, anticipating it will compete with Toyota's hybrid offerings. less
Detroit Is Furious With Trump's UK Car Deal
This video delves into the controversial US-UK trade deal, focusing on its implications for the automotive industry. The core issue is the preferentia... morel tariff rate (10%) granted to UK-manufactured vehicles imported into the US, a stark contrast to the 25% tariffs on vehicles from Mexico and Canada, and significantly higher rates for other nations. American automakers, represented by the Detroit Big Three (GM, Ford, Stellantis), express strong opposition, arguing this deal unfairly disadvantages US manufacturers, suppliers, and workers. The presenter highlights that this preferential treatment could set a precedent for future trade agreements, potentially impacting vehicles assembled in North America. The video also touches upon Nissan's abandonment of an EV battery plant in Japan due to slowing EV adoption, LG acquiring GM's Michigan battery plant, incentives for the Hyundai Ioniq 9, and a comparison of the European and US versions of the Toyota Corolla Cross GR Sport, noting the European model's superior lighting and sportier features. The overall sentiment from Detroit is one of frustration and concern over the perceived imbalance in trade policy. less
Toyota Losing Billions on Tariffs...Are Prices Going to Skyrocket?
The video discusses Toyota's financial forecast, revealing a projected 35% drop in net profit for FY2026, amounting to billions lost primarily du... moree to tariffs and a stronger yen. Despite this significant hit, Toyota is not planning to raise vehicle prices in the short term, unlike Ford, which is implementing midyear price increases on models like the Maverick Hybrid. The analysis highlights that tariffs are not the sole cause of Toyota's profit decline; currency fluctuations and rising material costs are also major contributors. The transcript also touches upon Mitsubishi's precarious situation, importing all its vehicles and potentially relying on Nissan for production in the US. The reviewer expresses skepticism about Oldsmobile's potential trademark revival, preferring a return for Pontiac. The video concludes with personal anecdotes and thanks to the viewers for their support. less
California: You Must Buy An EV But This Just Happened
The video discusses the recent US House vote to block California's aggressive EV mandate, highlighting the political complexities and potential e... moreconomic fallout. The reviewer expresses skepticism about the realism of the mandate, particularly for states with colder climates and lower EV adoption rates, citing current EV penetration in California at just over 20%. Concerns are raised about the financial penalties for manufacturers failing to meet targets, potentially leading to reduced vehicle availability and skyrocketing car prices, worse than the chip shortage. The reviewer also touches upon dealer lawsuits against manufacturers selling direct-to-consumer, GM's profit warnings due to tariffs, and current 0% APR deals on gasoline vehicles like the Nissan Pathfinder and Ram 1500, which are presented as more practical and affordable options than EVs. The core argument is that while EVs have their place, forcing rapid adoption without considering consumer needs, affordability, and infrastructure is unrealistic and potentially damaging. less
Hands On The 2026 Honda CR-V Is Adding Off-Road Vibes To The Winning Formula
The 2026 Honda CR-V receives a significant refresh, with the new TrailSport Hybrid trim being the highlight. This variant introduces rugged styling cu... morees, including exclusive Ash Green Metallic paint, all-terrain tires, and unique badging, aiming to enhance its off-road appeal. The reviewer notes that the TrailSport Hybrid is exclusively available with the hybrid powertrain and sits above the Sport Hybrid but below the Sport L Hybrid. Key interior upgrades across the lineup include a larger standard 9-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and a wireless charger. The TrailSport features a cloth interior with distinctive orange stitching and standard all-weather mats, while the top-tier Sport Touring offers perforated leather seats and a Google-built-in infotainment system. A notable omission across all hybrid models is the lack of a spare tire, replaced by a fix-a-flat kit. The reviewer suggests the TrailSport or Sport L trims might represent the sweet spot in the lineup, questioning the added value of the Sport Touring given its price point (which is yet to be announced). The updated all-wheel-drive system with enhanced traction control is also highlighted as a positive for improved capability. less
Toyota Is Doing The Unthinkable
The reviewer expresses surprise and admiration for Toyota's strong performance, particularly in competitive markets like China and Europe, areas ... morewhere he previously underestimated the brand. The video delves into Toyota's Q1 sales and production figures, highlighting significant year-on-year growth in most regions, with notable strength in North America, Asia (especially China), and other global markets, despite a slight dip in Europe for March. A major point of discussion is the proposed $42 billion acquisition of Toyota Industries by Chairman Akio Toyoda, a move seen as potentially consolidating power and strengthening synergies within the conglomerate. The review also touches upon the growing demand for Toyota's electrified vehicles, with hybrids showing substantial growth and plug-in hybrids poised for increased production as the North Carolina battery plant comes online. While BEV sales saw a dip in March, attributed to European market performance, the overall outlook for Toyota remains positive, with Lexus also achieving record sales globally, though facing challenges in the Chinese market. less
Toyota's Lost The Plot. Here's Why I'm Buying This $20,000 Pickup Instead.
The reviewer expresses strong enthusiasm for the Slate pickup, positioning it as a much-needed affordable and customizable alternative to the inflated... more prices of traditional OEMs. Key highlights include its sub-$20,000 target price (after potential federal incentives), its modular design allowing for various configurations (truck, SUV, etc.), and its Made in America manufacturing. The reviewer praises the simplicity of the interior, the lack of overwhelming tech, and the extensive customization options, including wrap kits and accessory installations. However, concerns are raised about the potential impact of the EV tax credit expiring on the final price, the efficiency figures of the battery packs (150 miles from 52.7 kWh and 240 miles from 84.3 kWh), and the limited towing capacity. Despite these points, the reviewer is so impressed that they place a reservation, seeing it as a spiritual successor to older, simpler Toyota pickups but with modern EV benefits. less
Hyundai's New Hybrids Will Disrupt Toyota's Dominance
Hyundai is set to significantly challenge Toyota and Honda's long-standing dominance in the hybrid market with its advanced next-generation hybri... mored system. Debuting in the new Palisade, this system promises substantial improvements in both performance and efficiency, with the Palisade expected to achieve over 600 miles on a single tank. Key innovations include a dual-motor setup for smoother operation and enhanced power delivery, a redesigned 2.5-liter turbocharged engine offering a 19% power increase and 45% better fuel efficiency over its non-hybrid counterpart, and the flexibility to be integrated across multiple vehicle platforms. The system also introduces e-all-wheel drive for improved handling and posture control, and a unique 'top-off' mode for vehicle-to-load power export. While the six-speed automatic transmission offers a more engaging driving experience than CVTs, its long-term reliability compared to Toyota and Honda's systems remains to be seen. Hyundai's strategic stockpiling of inventory ahead of potential tariffs and a commitment to not increasing MSRPs are also noted. However, the review cautions that Hyundai/Kia vehicles may not hold their value as well as Toyota/Lexus models in the long term. less
This Is Toyota's New Camry And It's Fully Electric
The reviewer introduces the Toyota BZ7, an electric sedan revealed at the Shanghai Auto Show, which strongly resembles the Camry and Crown. While prai... moresing its striking design, particularly the front fascia and rear light bar, the reviewer notes it's a joint venture with Huawei and GAC, making its US market arrival unlikely in its current form due to software restrictions. The interior is highlighted for its premium feel, featuring wood accents and ambient lighting, though the reliance on a large touchscreen for climate control is seen as a drawback. Despite the lack of official powertrain or range specifications, the reviewer expresses a strong desire for an electric Camry design to reach the US market, suggesting it could be a compelling alternative to the Crown or even an EV successor to the current Camry, though acknowledges the challenges and competition. less
