EVERY NEW TOYOTA AND LEXUS COMING IN 2026

EV Channels Review

The video provides a comprehensive overview of upcoming Toyota and Lexus models for 2026, with a particular focus on the significant updates for the RAV4 and the anticipated refresh of the Lexus NX. The reviewer expresses excitement for the hybrid-only RAV4 and praises its potential performance and efficiency. However, concerns are raised about Lexus's aggressive push towards full electrification by 2030, particularly the potential failure of three-row EVs in the US market and the questionable strategy of launching the new ES as BEV-only. The reviewer highlights the discontinuation of several Lexus models (IS-500, LC, LS, ES V6) and expresses disappointment with the potential BEV-only LFA, advocating for hybrid or V8 options. The refresh of the NX is seen as a critical move for Lexus, expected to adopt the RAV4's hybrid system and boost sales. Overall, the review balances anticipation for new models with critical analysis of brand strategies, especially concerning electrification and market suitability.
