There's one word to describe this :troll:

Gosh... finally a round steering wheel. It'll take it over any non-round / off-round steering wheel, even though the 2-tone colour scheme is still ugly.

It's kinda funny that they're reusing the exact same motors and batteries as in the CHR / Uncharted twins.

Strange that they wouldn't offer the uprated power units that're standard in the BZ Woodland / Trailseeker! Even as an option.

I'm guessing it has to do with prioritizing EV range over power for this segment to stay competitive, whereas the lifted wagon crowd of the Trailseeker are more niche and want a bit more performance. The FWD Highlander with 221hp and 198lb-ft of torque seem to suggest that anyway...

Kia?

White interior in a family car, I can't imagine how fast those seats will shit stain

I don't think it needs more power because Toyota's new inverters and axles are competitive with Ioniq 5 and ID4 performance.
Even with 800lbs extra weight, I think this will be in the range or GLE43/GLS450 speed to 100mph.

Isn't the 338hp one the new SiC and eAxles from the woodland?
ah nvm the Woodland has 375hp.

And then there's the RZ 550e's 408hp version.

Man, I'd love if they made an Uncharted STI w/ one of those setups. They even have simulated gearshifts linked to the paddles, I5N style. Apparently it'll even let you "bounce off the rev limiter" lolol.

Looks like the diff between 308 and 375 hp is just a flash, the RZ450e offers a flash upgrade.

375 to 408 I'm not sure.... probably another flash lol

White interior is fine.

I like how it looks and honestly with a EV drivetrain, you don't really need more power than that most of the time. The X5 had 111hp from the EV motor and it was mostly fine.

77kWh battery is kinda small, that's exact same as EV6/Ioniq 5/Mach-E standard range but with way more weight and worse aero.

96kWh extended range battery is also small, it's same as new CLA/Mach E extended range and smaller than Ioniq9/iX3 which have ~110kWh.

I can't believe you guys aren't shitting on this yet. It's a freakin' Toyota, guys!

oh god it has the awful lexus electronic door handles too
those always get stuck if i don't open the door at the right speed/in the right amt of time

Jesus, thank the Lord. We're back in business and a level of sanity has been restored. :sweetjesus: :fuckyea:

we roast toyota every single time and akio just keeps posting record numbers in a full red outfit like some kind of automotive megachurch scam. the man is untouchable

I hate Toyota! :mad:

(I still want a Crown) :inout:

^ so why haven't you bought one, I don't even see any on the streets, it looks like a prelude kinda thing where there's not enough boomers to sell to, I can't imagine there being any wait-list

Oh, the reason is simple. See answer here

Ok but

^ except replace LC500 with Crown. Also, relocate to Jane & Finch.

Didn't some guy just get shot and died near Jane and Finch? Woodbine Mall or something? :D

Ha I had this exact thought last week when I saw the new RZ - "wish Subaru offered this fake shift in a spicy Uncharted variant" :lol Adding fake shift and some performance bits would turn the Uncharted into a fun little rallycross-inspired model IMO.

Can you elaborate? I never had an issue with the handles when I visit my parents.

maybe they're saving it for a WRX/STi EV variant

The Electric Vehicle Affordability Program (EVAP) launches on February 16, 2026, and the list of new cars eligible to receive either a $5,000 (fully electric cars) or $2,500 (plug-in hybrids) rebate has been made public.

EVs ($5,000 Rebate):

Chevrolet Bolt
Chevrolet Equinox EV
Dodge Charger
Fiat 500e
Ford Mustang Mach-E
Hyundai Kona EV
Toyota bZ

PHEVs ($2,500 Rebate):
Chrysler Pacifica
Ford Escape
Toyota Prius Prime

The Canadian government will continue to update the list. It is important to note that not all cars on the above list will qualify. The rebate is trim-dependent, and the Final Transaction Price must be under $50,000.

Exception: Vehicles manufactured in Canada (like the Dodge Charger and Chrysler Pacifica) are exempt from the price cap.

“Final Transaction Price“ is defined as including the following:

Base price of the vehicle trim (inclusive of incentives or discounts offered by vehicle manufacturers or dealerships)
Optional features, add-ons, and packages
Accessories included at delivery
Manufacturer or dealership fees
It is also interesting to note that the Nissan LEAF, which has an MSRP of $44,998, does not currently make the list. Neither does the Tesla Model Y, which starts at $49,990.

I'm surprised a few AWD models are actually included in the eligible list. If le wifey didn't feel so out of place in the Equinox, I'd be tempted to look more seriously into it.
