Toyota has finally launched a competitive long-range electric vehicle—the C-HR—with up to 377 miles of range. But despite strong specs and pricing, it’s only headed to Europe.

In this video, we break down what Toyota is actually delivering—and why the U.S. market is being left out.

Key points:

377-mile (607 km) range—Toyota’s longest yet
10–80% charging in ~28 minutes
Two battery options: 57 kWh and 77 kWh
Europe-only rollout (no U.S. launch)
Pricing around $45,000 equivalent

Why it matters:
Toyota has long been seen as lagging in EVs. This changes the product story—but raises serious questions about their U.S. strategy and market timing.
