Toyota Motor Korea said Friday it presented a Toyota Sienna Hybrid to Kim Yun-ji, who was named the Korean team’s most valuable player at the Milano Cortina 2026 Paralympic Winter Games. The ceremony was attended by Manabu Konyama, president and CEO of Toyota Motor Korea, Korean Paralympic Committee Chairman Jung Jin-owan and Kim's family. Kim, 19, competed in six events across para biathlon and para cross-country skiing at the 2026 Winter Paralympics, winning two gold medals and three silver medals. Her five-medal haul set a record for the most by a Korean athlete at a single Olympic or Paralympic Games, summer or winter. She was later named the national team’s MVP in a vote by journalists covering the Korean Paralympic Committee. Toyota Motor Korea said the vehicle presentation was part of its global “Start Your Impossible” campaign, which emphasizes pushing beyond perceived limits, and was meant to honor Kim’s performance at her first Paralympic Games. “The fighting spirit shown by

The C-HR was one of Toyota’s most affordable SUVs, starting at under $25,000. Toyota is bringing it back as a more powerful, all-wheel-drive electric SUV, but it’s not as cheap as expected. more…
It won't be the EV for everyone, but I'm at least happy to see some personality out of a new mainstream Toyota.

Toyota is on an EV roll these days, introducing the newly all-electric, three-row Highlander SUV, and giving us a fuller picture of the bZ Woodland wagon. Now, the Japanese auto giant is completing the triumvirate with a full detail breakdown of the upcoming C-HR hatchback. We already knew that the C-HR won't be as affordable as we originally thought, coming in at $38,135 (including destination fee) for the base SE trim. That's a lot more than the $25,000-$30,000 some experts were expecting, but definitely a lot less than the $50,000 average transaction price for a new vehicle (or $55,000 for average EV). By comparison, the original gas-en … Read the full story at The Verge.

For years, Toyota was criticized for sitting on the sidelines while the EV revolution swept through the auto industry. Instead of riding the wave, the Japanese auto giant doubled down on hybrids, while rolling out only one pure EV for the US market, the poorly reviewed bZ4X. But as sales growth slowed and governments started eliminating their EV incentives, Toyota's caution was retroactively seen as strategic. Now, as other automakers pull back, Toyota is finally getting off the sidelines. Last week, the Japanese auto giant announced the new Highlander, a three-row SUV with over 300 miles of range, vehicle-to-load capabilities, and some re … Read the full story at The Verge.
The Woodland is essentially a longer and more powerful sibling of the existing bZ electric SUV.
There still aren't that many three-row SUVs with electric powertrains out there, especially not on the more affordable ends of things.
With the new Highlander EV arriving later this year, Toyota will have a full lineup of electric SUVs. Toyota believes the new EVs fill a key gap in its lineup and will help it gain a bigger share of the market. more…

Built in the U.S. with American-made batteries, the 2027 Toyota Highlander will go toe to toe with the Hyundai Ioniq 9 and Kia EV9.
Toyota unveiled the new 2027 Highlander, a fully redesigned midsize SUV that marks the brand's first three-row electric vehicle for the US market and the first Toyota EV assembled in America. It's a familiar name - Toyota has been selling gas Highlanders for over 20 years - with an all-new powertrain aimed directly at one of the most popular vehicle segments in the market today. To say this is Toyota's best chance to best its EV rivals would be an understatement. The announcement comes at a tumultuous time for the world's best-selling automaker. Toyota's strategy of emphasizing hybrid vehicles over pure battery-electric ones seems to have b … Read the full story at The Verge.
