140-Character Blurb

The 2026 Toyota C-HR is an all-new, fully electric subcompact SUV with up to 290 miles of range.

Cons

Power, Ride, and Handling

Driving Impressions

When it comes to performance, Toyota is promising big things for the 2026 C-HR. How about zero to 60 mph in around 5 seconds, according to Toyota’s stopwatch? That puts it in the same league as the Volvo EX30. Both are about a second quicker than the current bZ4X. We don’t strictly scrutinize such things; however, those that do place the Kona Electric in the neighborhood of 7 seconds to make the standstill to 60 mph run, which is about the same as the Kia Niro EV.
Producing 338 horsepower, the electric powertrain is more powerful than the bZ4X or the Kona Electric or the Kia Niro EV. The EX30 with dual motors delivers 422 hp.
We have nothing but praise for the TGNA architecture that underpins many a Toyota vehicle, including the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/prius/">Prius</a> and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/camry/">Camry</a>, among a host of others. We expect the C-HR to provide satisfactory driving dynamics and better-than-average ride quality.
Paddle shifters on the steering wheel allow the driver to pick among four degrees of regenerative braking. We suspect this is basically the same arrangement found in the bZ4X; consequently, we don’t expect one-pedal driving in the C-HR either. Both the Niro EV and Kona Electric do allow for one-pedal operation. All-wheel drive is standard.
<h3>Range and Charging</h3>
A critical number for any EV is its range, and Toyota pins the C-HR’s number at 290 miles. Not too shabby at all, especially when compared to the Kona Electric’s maximum of 261 miles, and that’s an upgrade that comes with the more expensive SEL trim.
Good news for future C-HR owners is that it will come with a North American Charging System (NACS) port, the Tesla-style connector that&#8217;s becoming the industry standard. Such a charger can take the battery from a 10% charge to 80% in around 30 minutes, quicker than the Kona Electric or the Niro EV.

Familiar Face

Exterior

Although the new C-HR&#8217;s shape is a bit of a throwback to the earlier C-HR, its face is Toyota’s current signature hammerhead design. LED front lights and a chiseled backside also contribute to the overall curb appeal.

FAQs

Our Favorite Features And Tech

Favorite Features

Wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto 
Standard in both trims, the ability to integrate phones into the infotainment system without using a cable is wonderfully convenient.
Toyota Safety Sense 
This set of advanced safety features is standard in every C-HR. It includes forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, plus the ability to detect not only pedestrians but also cyclists (in low-light conditions), motorcyclists (in daylight), and guardrails. Blind-spot monitoring is also standard.
Wi-Fi Connect 
An available subscription offers 4G connectivity for up to five devices, essentially turning the C-HR into a Wi-Fi hotspot.
Hey, Toyota 
Luxury German cars have had this kind of thing for years, but the C-HR comes with a digital assistant summoned by saying, “Hey, Toyota.” Then a command given in natural speech — like “lower the cabin temperature by 5 degrees” — is obeyed.
Front &amp; Rear Parking Assist w/Braking 
Standard in every C-HR, this system senses obstacles in front of or behind the C-HR when parking. Not only does it sound an alert, but it also automatically brakes the vehicle. We find it a real benefit when slotting into a crowded parking space.
Power Liftgate 
We appreciate things that make our lives easier. Thus, a power liftgate like the one standard on every new C-HR takes all the strain out of opening and closing the rear hatch.

Efficient Interior

Interior

Toyota has yet to release any interior measurements other than cargo space behind the second-row seat, which is 25.4 cubic feet. This basically matches the Kona Electric. Because the C-HR is more than half a foot longer than the Kona, with a wheelbase exceeding the Kona&#8217;s by more than 4 inches, we have to think that, unless Toyota has mismanaged the passenger space, there should be measurably more legroom in the C-HR’s passenger compartment than in the Kona’s. However, we’ll need to wait and see.
Commanding the instrument panel is a 14-inch infotainment touchscreen that oversees the Toyota Audio Multimedia system with its 6-speaker audio system. Wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto is also standard. The driver faces a fully digital gauge cluster. Fabric with SofTex trim will cover the seats in the SE, with synthetic suede and SofTex trim covering the XSE seats. The split 60/40 second-row folds flat with the cargo floor.
The standard features include a power liftgate, rain-sensing wipers, heated front seats and steering wheel, two wireless smartphone chargers, three USB-C ports, and lots more.

KBB Editors' Overview

The 2026 Toyota C-HR is a fully electric subcompact SUV with an estimated range of 290 miles. Although it shares a platform with the Toyota bZ compact electric SUV, it is somewhat smaller by every measure. Crammed full of advanced technology, including the latest in advanced safety tech, the C-HR is the latest return from Toyota’s ongoing electrification strategy.

Optional Equipment

Pricing - Dynamic

We expect the 2026 Toyota C-HR to start around $35,000. This estimate is based on the compact <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/bz4x/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Toyota bZ4X&#8217;s</a> current starting price of $38,465, as well as the base prices of competitors.

</table>

Pricing - Static

We think we could be quite happy with the SE grade. It’s well equipped with cutting-edge infotainment tech, advanced safety/driver-assist technology, and highly sought-after convenience features. We admit shelling out the extra cash for the XSE has serious benefits like a digital rearview mirror (camera as a mirror), lane-changing assist, and a Panoramic View Monitor. However, we could easily live with the more affordable SE.
If you somehow missed it, the Toyota bZ is a larger EV SUV alternative for those who need more interior space and want to stay within the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/">Toyota</a> brand.
Occupying roughly the same space as the C-HR is the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/kona-electric/">Hyundai Kona Electric</a>. The two are well matched in price, dedicated cargo space, and up-to-date gadgetry. Other alternatives include the pricier <a href="https://www.kbb.com/kia/niro-ev/">Kia Niro EV</a> and the higher-end <a href="https://www.kbb.com/volvo/ex30/">Volvo EX30</a>.

Battery and Efficiency

Under the Hood

A 74.7-kWh battery feeds a dual-motor arrangement (one on each axle). A preconditioning function brings the battery to an optimal temperature for DC fast charging. This is a real benefit when charging in colder temperatures.
3-year/36,000-Mile Warranty
Toyota’s new vehicle warranty lasts three years or 36,000 miles, whichever happens first. Powertrains are covered for five years or 60,000 miles. These are typical among mainstream manufacturers, but not as good as Hyundai and Kia. The lithium-ion battery has an 8-year/100,000-mile warranty. Toyota also provides free scheduled maintenance for the first two years or 25,000 miles, plus two years of roadside assistance (unlimited mileage).
Safety
The C-HR has a full suite of advanced safety tech like automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, lane-departure alert with steering assist, lane-tracing assist, high-beam assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and more.

What's new for 2026

<a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/toyota-c-hr-returns-for-2026-all-electric-this-time/">All new for 2026</a>, the C-HR is a revival of the C-HR model name but not a resurrection of the tiny gas-fueled <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/c-hr/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">C-HR</a> that anchored Toyota’s SUV lineup from 2018 to 2022. For one thing, the second-generation C-HR is larger than its namesake and, oh, it’s fully electric. Although its profile is somewhat of a throwback to the original C-HR’s coupe-like looks, unlike that SUV’s rather tepid performance, today’s C-HR packs a serious amount of unbridled thrust. And, whereas the original C-HR was strictly front-wheel drive (FWD), this C-HR comes standard with all-wheel drive (AWD).
<h3>When Will the 2026 Toyota C-HR BEV Come Out?</h3>
Toyota promises the 2026 C-HR will arrive in showrooms sometime in 2026. We suspect that because it is designated a 2026 model, and Toyota has already provided a plethora of details about it, we will probably see its arrival in the first half of the year.

The 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 9 is a spacious, comfortable, and upscale electric midsize 3-row SUV with over 300 miles of range in every configuration.

<ul>
<li>Expensive upper trims</li>
<li>Subpar performance in base trim</li>
</ul>

The 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 9 is powered by a 215-horsepower electric motor with rear-wheel drive in its base configuration. The SE and SEL models use a 303-hp dual-motor setup with all-wheel drive, and the trims with &#8220;Performance&#8221; in their name turn up the heat with 422 hp and all-wheel drive. The one we drove was a Performance Calligraphy model, and we were impressed with the electric powertrain&#8217;s confident acceleration, both from a standstill and at speed on the highway. Most families will be well served by the mid-range 303-hp powertrain, and in our experience driving the single-motor version of the Kia EV9, it was a bit underpowered for an SUV this size.
One of the things that stood out to us the most in our testing of the Hyundai Ioniq 9 is that it&#8217;s remarkably quiet. Most EVs are quiet, but even by EV standards, the cabin of the Ioniq 9 is a sanctuary with minimal mechanical noise from the motors or road noise from the tires. This hushed ride contributes to the generally serene experience of driving the Ioniq 9. The handling and braking are adequate and predictable for a midsize SUV, and we noticed the steering firming up quite a bit when we switched to Sport mode. Overall, for daily commuting and long-distance cruising, the Hyundai Ioniq 9 is one of the most comfortable and peaceful ways to get around, this side of a luxury SUV.
<h3>Range and Charging</h3>
Range is a strong suit of the 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 9. It&#8217;s rated at 335 miles with the single-motor, rear-wheel-drive powertrain, 320 miles with the dual-motor setup in the SE and SEL models, and 311 miles with the Performance trims. In the small world of non-luxury 3-row EVs, the Hyundai Ioniq 9 has the best range, and it&#8217;s the only one with a 300+ mile range in every configuration.
The charging speed is similarly impressive. With public DC fast charging, a 350 kW charger can charge the car from 10% to 80% in as little as 24 minutes. With a Tesla V3 Supercharger, it takes 41 minutes. With Level 2 charging, which can be installed in your garage, charging from 10% to 80% takes an estimated nine hours and 40 minutes.

Sleek Exterior

The striking exterior design of the Hyundai Ioniq 9 is smooth, slippery, and aerodynamic, contributing to its efficiency and outstanding range ratings. Although its body is curvy, it has blocky design elements in the light signatures front and back. Hyundai told us the blocky look was partially inspired by Minecraft (no, really). We think it&#8217;s a great marriage of squares and curves to create an interesting design that doesn&#8217;t look quite like anything else outside of Hyundai&#8217;s Ioniq subbrand, strengthening the unique visual identity of Hyundai EVs.

Our Favorite Features and Tech

300+ mile range 
Some EVs have a big gap between the max range rating and the range of the one you actually want. Not so much with the Hyundai Ioniq 9. Its max range in the rear-wheel-drive configuration is 335 miles, and even its least efficient variant goes 311 miles on a full charge.
DC Fast Charging 
The Hyundai Ioniq 9 charges from 10% to 80% in as little as 24 minutes with DC fast charging in ideal conditions. This greatly reduces the waiting time involved with keeping your EV charged up on a long drive.
NACS port 
The Hyundai Ioniq 9 comes native with a Tesla-style North American Charging System (NACS) port. This makes it easy to charge up at Tesla charging stations, and you can use any other fast charging station with a CCS adapter, maximizing the charging network that&#8217;s available to the owner.
Highway Driving Assist 2 
Hyundai&#8217;s Highway Driving Assist 2 is one of our favorite semi-autonomous highway driving systems. You still have to keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road, but this natural-feeling system makes the drive safer and more relaxed by keeping you centered in your lane at a safe distance from the car in front of you.
Dual 12.3-inch displays 
The Ioniq 9 has a pair of 12.3-inch displays in a single housing, so they look like one wide screen. The one directly in front of the driver handles instrument cluster duties. The one in the center is a touchscreen for infotainment functions. The look is becoming common, but it’s common because it looks great, and more upscale than this car’s price tag.
Wireless smartphone connectivity 
This SUV comes standard with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. These features make it easy to bring maps, music, and more to the screens in the car without removing your phone from your purse or pocket.

Classy Interior

The sleek and futuristic design of the Ioniq 9&#8217;s exterior carries over into the interior. The front seats are roomy and comfortable, and although you can&#8217;t get real leather, the H-Tex upholstery in the SEL trim and up feels premium. Two-tone interior color schemes are optional, and we&#8217;re especially fond of the Dark Teal two-tone look available in the Calligraphy trims.
A few features that are standard across the board include heated front seats, dual 12.3-inch displays, wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, wireless phone charging, and tri-zone automatic climate control. Upgrade to the upper trims to unlock luxury features like an Ergo Motion driver&#8217;s seat (derived from the Genesis luxury brand), a panoramic sunroof, power-folding third-row seats, Bose audio, and a head-up display.
Seating space is impressive in all three rows, by midsize SUV standards. The second row is comfortable for adults of just about any size. The front center console is accessible to the second-row passengers thanks to a dual-hinged lid, and a big drawer slides out on the bottom to hold the passengers&#8217; tablets, headphones, snacks, or other sundries. Second-row captain&#8217;s chairs in the Limited and Calligraphy models make the second row more comfortable and the third row easier to access.
The third row has 32 inches of legroom, which is a little more than the Kia EV9 and the gas-powered Hyundai Palisade. It&#8217;s a little tight for adults but suitable for kids. There&#8217;s 21.9 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row, 46.7 cubic feet behind the second row, and 86.9 cubic feet behind the first row. These dimensions also beat the EV9 and Palisade. In the case of Hyundai SUVs, going electric comes with no compromise on interior practicality.

Until quite recently, getting an electric vehicle with three useable rows of seats meant springing for an expensive luxury model. The 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 9 (<a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/report-hyundai-ioniq-7-to-become-hyundai-ioniq-9/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">formerly and briefly known as the Ioniq 7</a>) is among the first 3-row all-electric SUVs from a mainstream manufacturer. It builds on the virtues of the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/palisade/">Hyundai Palisade</a>, the brand&#8217;s stellar gas-powered midsize 3-row SUV, with an even roomier interior, a whisper-quiet ride, and, of course, electric efficiency. This aerodynamically designed EV achieves excellent range ratings, going over 300 miles on a full charge regardless of the trim or motor configuration. With an interior that&#8217;s both practical and upscale, a pleasant driving experience, class-leading warranty coverage, fast charging, and excellent range, the Hyundai Ioniq 9 is simply one of the best 3-row EVs money can buy.
We’ve spent hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/electric-car/best-electric-suvs/">electric SUVs</a>, including the 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 9.

The 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 9 is <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/2026-hyundai-ioniq-9-starts-around-60k-rebate-eligible/">priced</a> close to the Kia EV9 when similarly equipped, and the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/">Hyundai</a> has a slightly lower cost of entry if you want all-wheel drive. It&#8217;s a more affordable alternative to 3-row electric luxury SUVs like the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/rivian/r1s/">Rivian R1S</a> and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/volvo/ex90/">Volvo EX90</a>. Another option worth mentioning in 3-row EVs is the similarly priced <a href="https://www.kbb.com/volkswagen/id-buzz/">Volkswagen ID. Buzz</a>.
Before buying an Ioniq 9, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should really pay. It&#8217;s too early to predict the resale value of the Hyundai Ioniq 9, but the similar Kia EV9 enjoys resale value that&#8217;s above average for an EV. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

<ul>
<li>300+ range in every trim</li>
<li>Quiet and roomy interior</li>
<li>Class-leading warranty</li>
</ul>

Every 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 9 uses the same lithium-ion 110.3 kWh battery pack. The base single-motor configuration with rear-wheel drive makes 215 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. Upgrading to the SE and SEL trims brings a dual-motor setup with all-wheel drive producing 303 hp and 446 lb-ft of torque, and the range-topping Performance models pump out 422 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque.
The combined efficiency ratings for the Ioniq 9 are 92 MPGe (miles per gallon equivalent) for the S trim, 88 MPGe for the SE and SEL models, and 85 MPGe for the Performance trims. For reference, the Kia EV9 gets between 80-89 MPGe, while the VW ID. Buzz gets 83 MPGe with rear-wheel drive and 80 MPGe with all-wheel drive. In this competitive set, the Ioniq 9 gets the most miles out of the juice in its battery, translating to low fuel costs compared to similar 3-row EVs.
<h3>Class-Leading Warranty</h3>
The Hyundai Ioniq 9 is backed by a 5-year/60,000-mile basic warranty and a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. This is tied with the Kia EV9 for best-in-class warranty coverage for a midsize electric SUV.
<h3>Safety</h3>
The Hyundai Ioniq 9 hasn&#8217;t been crash-tested by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings">IIHS</a>) or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NHTSA</a>). A long list of standard Hyundai SmartSense safety tech features includes forward collision-avoidance assist, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, driver attention warning, Highway Driving Assist 2, and parking sensors. Optional safety features include a surround-view monitor, a blind-spot camera, and reverse automatic emergency braking.

The 2026 BMW 4 Series is a range of compact luxury cars offering coupe, convertible and 4-door versions. They each have their charms.

<ul>
<li>Not so enjoyable from the back seat</li>
</ul>

Power, Ride and Handling

The engine in the entry-level 430i is superb. It’s refined yet muscular, making 255 horsepower and able to accelerate from standstill to 60 mph in a brisk 5.5 seconds. That’s almost a second quicker than the entry-level Mercedes-Benz CLE 300 4Matic Coupe (also with 255 hp).
It isn’t just what the 4 Series does, it’s the way that it does it. The suspension and steering definitely have an enthusiast edge, with a feel for the road and the ability to respond crisply to driver inputs. This sportiness requires a bit of a firmer ride than something like an Audi or Mercedes-Benz, which won’t be to everyone’s taste. Take a test drive over some rough roads to see if it works for you. But also make sure to try it on some entertaining roads to let the 4 Series really shine. We’ve found that even the brakes feel confident.
The hugely enjoyable M440i develops 386 hp and will hit 60 mph in about 4.6 seconds.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
We never fail to be impressed by BMW’s ability to create engines that are energetic and efficient. The 430i Coupe achieves 31 mpg in combined city/highway driving. Subtract one mpg when all-wheel drive (AWD), also known as xDrive, is in the picture. The convertible with the same engine is only a little thirstier (30/28 mpg combined). For reference, the Mercedes-Benz CLE 300 4Matic coupe (with all-wheel drive as standard) manages 27 mpg combined while the rest of the CLE lineup returns 26 mpg combined.
The rear-drive M440i Coupe runs to 27 mpg combined. Other variants with this engine are only an mpg or two behind.

Three Body Styles

Not only have our owner reviews enthused about how great the 4 Series feels to drive, but many of them also mention how much they like the styling. As always, buyers have a choice of the 4-door Gran Coupe (with a hatchback), the 2-door Coupe with a fixed metal roof, or the Convertible with a power-retractable soft top.

BMW Curved Display 
A standard feature across the 2026 4 Series range (added in 2024), it includes a digital instrument cluster and a 14.9-inch infotainment screen. This is the technological heart of the cabin and offers features like augmented video for the navigation, and Remote View through the MyBMW app to check on the car’s surroundings.
iDrive 
We think BMW’s infotainment system is smart and user-friendly, with a menu structure designed for greater efficiency and less distraction while on the move.
Engines 
We have a long-standing admiration of BMW engines because of their ability to deliver excellent and responsive power, while still achieving competitive fuel economy.
Premium package 
This options bundle brings several extra luxury items like a heated steering wheel, wireless charging, keyless entry, and a head-up display.
Driving Assistance Professional package 
Although the 4 Series has plenty of standard safety equipment, this package adds more driver technology. Among the features are adaptive cruise control with steering assistance, Lane Change Assistant, evasive steering assistance, and Extended Traffic Jam Assist.
Dynamic Handling package 
A sport suspension and stronger brakes are part of this package, tipping the usual balance between pliancy and poise more into fun territory.
Harman Kardon audio 
Gotta have music as well, right? The 4 Series offers this excellent surround-sound system.

Balanced Interior

It’s a classy, high-quality interior in the 4 Series. Like other BMW cabins, this one is focused primarily on the serious business of driving fun, with things like excellent ergonomics and supportive front seats. Yet it also brings an air of luxury and technology. It’s where three worlds converge, not just two. BMW cars have a fine dynamic balance and their interiors are calibrated just as carefully &#8212; nothing is lacking, nothing is overdone.
The 4 Series is a compact car, so although there’s sufficient space up front, rear passengers aren’t so well accommodated (particularly in the convertible), while trunk space goes from an acceptable 12 cubic feet in the coupe to a tight 10.6 cubic feet in the convertible. Then again, no one is likely to make a major expedition to Ikea or Costco in a 4 Series.
Unless it’s the 4 Series Gran Coupe. Lifting the hatchback reveals 16.6 cubic feet of luggage area behind the rear seats, expanding to 45.6 cubic feet when those seats are folded. Compare these figures with the 22.6/36.6 cubic feet of the latest Audi A5.

Although based on the 3 Series, the trio of 4 Series models takes that platform in a different direction. The first indication of this is the styling, which we might describe as uncompromising &#8212; it doesn’t try to please the largest number of people, just the ones for whom it resonates. Nor does the 4 Series try to please any adults sitting in the back, but the ones in the front will enjoy the tech, quality, and supportive seats. The driver, meanwhile, gets to experience the kinetic kicks. And the 4 Series offers an inline 6-cylinder engine, a <a href="http://www.kbb.com/bmw/">BMW</a> hallmark, for even greater thrills.
When information comes through for the 4-door Gran Coupe version of the 2026 4 Series, we’ll update this review. In the meantime, a lot of things mentioned here, like engine power and technology, will also apply to the Gran Coupe.
We’ve logged hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/cars/best-luxury-compact-cars/">compact luxury cars</a>, including the BMW 4 Series.

The 2026 BMW 4 Series Coupe has a starting sticker price of $52,675, with the range-topping M440i xDrive Convertible kicking off at $76,225.

We will add pricing for the 2026 BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe when it becomes available. A direct rival for the Gran Coupe would be the recently renewed <a href="https://www.kbb.com/audi/a5/">Audi A5</a>, starting in the $50K region. A popular choice is the base 430i Coupe (2-door) with rear-wheel drive. The only other car keeping the traditional coupe and convertible flame alight is the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mercedes-benz/cle/">Mercedes-Benz CLE</a>, with starting prices higher than these BMW counterparts.
Before buying a new 4 Series Gran Coupe, Coupe or Convertible, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should be paying. Resale values are a touch below the class average. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

<li>Great engines</li>
<li>Enjoyable driving experience</li>
<li>Choice of body styles</li>
</ul>

The engine in the 430i version of the 2026 4 Series is a turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder unit, augmented by a mild hybrid system for optimum efficiency. It makes 255 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque.
The turbocharged 3.0-liter 6-cylinder engine in the M440i enjoys a total of 386 hp and 398 lb-ft. It also includes a mild hybrid setup.
In both cases, energy goes to a standard rear-wheel drive (RWD) configuration or an optional all-wheel drive system through an 8-speed automatic transmission.
There’s a <a href="https://www.kbb.com/bmw/m4/">high-performance M4</a> that we review separately, plus an <a href="https://www.kbb.com/bmw/i4/">all-electric BMW i4</a> that also has its own review.
<h3>4-Year/50,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
BMW’s new-vehicle and powertrain warranties last four years or 50,000 miles, whichever happens first. This is typical among European luxury car marques. Roadside assistance is included for that period, with unlimited mileage. Scheduled maintenance is free for three years or 36,000 miles, which is not so typical.
<h3>Safety Ratings</h3>
The 4 Series hasn’t been crash-tested by any agencies in the United States, but it has earned a maximum score of five stars from the Euro NCAP safety program.

Following a minor update last year, the 2026 4 Series receives no significant changes.

sedan Archives - Kelley Blue Book

The 2026 BMW 5 Series is one of the pillars of the midsize luxury sedan class, thanks to a wide range of talents and tech.

The popular 530i employs a 255-horsepower turbocharged engine, energetic enough to accomplish the sprint from standstill to 60 mph in a lively 5.9 seconds. If all-wheel drive is in the picture, shave off another tenth. The Genesis G80 is in that same ballpark, while the Mercedes-Benz E 350 4Matic is just a couple of tenths behind.
We’re compelled to add that this is perhaps the smoothest 4-cylinder engine we’ve ever encountered, with virtually no vibration. The power delivery is so sweetly linear, it’s a joy to experience. It even turned out to be a little faster than our initial expectations.
BMW says the 540i xDrive can apply its 375 hp to hit 60 mph in 4.5 seconds. That’s only a tenth behind the most powerful BMW Z4 sports car. This happens courtesy of a turbocharged 3.0-liter 6-cylinder engine. Most of the time, maximum torque is 384 lb-ft, but a mild hybrid system on board pushes that to 398 lb-ft for short bursts. It also smooths out the fuel-saving engine stop/restart function.
The 550e xDrive is a plug-in hybrid making a total of 483 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque, and with the ability to hit 60 mph in 4.1 seconds.
We’ve always admired and enjoyed the way <a href="https://www.kbb.com/bmw/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BMW’s cars</a> manage to combine an engaging driving experience with refinement and suppleness. The 5 Series is enhanced even further by subtle automatic braking to individual wheels for greater effectiveness through quick corners. Overall, the 5 Series is wonderfully pleasant to drive. If there was a bit more of a wow factor, though, we’d be even happier. We realize this seems odd when talking about a BMW, but here we are.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
The rear-drive 530i achieves 31 mpg in combined city/highway driving. All-wheel drive reduces that by just 30 mpg. To compare, the Mercedes-Benz E 350 4Matic manages a still-respectable 27 mpg combined.
The 540i xDrive is rated at 28 mpg combined. The 550e xDrive can cover an impressive 34 miles on battery power alone.
We’re using last year’s figures here, but there shouldn’t be any change for 2026.

Smart Exterior

The entire 5 Series exterior styling plays it kind of safe, nothing too radical. We think that’s a smart move by BMW. The optional M Sport package adds larger front air intakes and 19-inch light-alloy wheels. An illuminated grille is also available. Paint choices include one solid finish, 10 metallic treatments, and three special (more expensive) finishes.

Curved Display 
The jewel of the 5 Series’ dashboard, it incorporates a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 14.9-inch infotainment touchscreen into one cool, curved unit. This is standard equipment.
iDrive 8.5 
BMW’s infotainment system is enhanced by voice activation, over-the-air updates, phone integration, and Wi-Fi. The most commonly used functions are accessed with the least amount of touchscreen taps. We’d prefer it if there were fewer icons on the home screen, however. Augmented reality for the navigation system is also available.
Automatic Park Assistant 
Every new 5 Series has this as standard. It’s a self-parking system for both parallel and perpendicular spaces. The optional Parking Assistant Plus package adds more features such as a 360-degree camera system and remote real-time viewing using an iPhone app.
AirConsole 
This is a gaming platform. It starts out with around 20 titles, which will be expanded in the future. Players can use their phones as controllers &#8212; while the car is parked, we hasten to add.
Interaction Bar 
An option in combustion-powered versions of the 5 Series, this item is integrated into the dashboard and provides the front passenger with touch controls for various functions. It’s also part of the ambient lighting setup.
Highway Assistant 
This is part of the optional Driving Assistance Professional package, bringing hands-free and feet-free driving in certain conditions. One exciting aspect, in our opinion, is Active Lane Change with eye activation. The system may suggest changing lanes, which the driver can set into motion just by looking at the corresponding side mirror. No need to click the turn signal.

Contemporary Interior

This latest 5 Series generation brings a few innovations, like the almost-invisible air vents set into the dash and the large one-piece/dual-display feature. Although the standard seats have been designed for optimum comfort and adjustability, the 5 Series also offers multi-contour front seats, which we’ve found to be among the best in any car. And a simulated (and perforated) leather called Veganza comes into the cabin, covering seats, door panels and the steering wheel (which is a good idea, since non-meat-eaters may not relish holding a steering wheel covered in cow skin).
Real leather is available as an option, however. And an optional M Sport package brings a mix of Veganza and Alcantara (a suede-like material). The Panoramic Sky Lounge is another option. It’s a fixed glass panel pretty much the size of the entire roof.
Rear legroom measures 37 inches, somewhere around average for the class. In real life, it’s sufficiently spacious without being remarkable. Trunk area of 18.4 cubic feet eclipses the Genesis G80 and gets close to the generous 19 cubic feet of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class. A couple of golf bags will go in easily.

Even if the 5 Series isn’t quite the benchmark of its class in the same way that the BMW 3 Series is among compact luxury sedans, we still think it’s something special. It’s wonderfully capable, offers a choice of excellent drivetrains, and there’s plenty of great tech available. <a href="https://www.kbb.com/bmw/">BMW</a> has also given the 5 Series a certain finesse. If there was a 5 Series on our hypothetical driveway, we’d consider ourselves extremely fortunate.
We’ve logged hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/luxury-car/">midsize luxury cars</a>, including the BMW 5 Series.

The 2026 BMW 5 Series has a starting sticker price of $59,875, with the range-topping (M variants notwithstanding) 550e xDrive kicking off at $74,575.

We’re happy enough to recommend the base 530i, with or without all-wheel drive (AWD). It’s a popular choice and we’ve enjoyed driving it.
Looking at the rivals, the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mercedes-benz/e-class/">Mercedes-Benz E-Class</a> (our pick for the class benchmark, by the way) and the new-for-2026 <a href="https://www.kbb.com/audi/a6/">Audi A6</a> start higher.

The 530i’s engine is a turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder unit making 255 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. Rear-wheel drive (RWD) is the basic setup, all-wheel drive (which BMW calls xDrive) is optional. The Genesis G80 starts out with a little more muscle, but this is more than adequate.
The 540i xDrive has all-wheel drive as standard, as its name implies. It employs a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline 6-cylinder engine developing 375 hp and 384 lb-ft of torque. A mild hybrid system provides a temporary boost to 398 lb-ft of torque.
The 550e xDrive pairs a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline 6-cylinder engine with an electric motor for a substantial total output of 483 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque. This goes to all four wheels.
Every gasoline-powered 5 Series employs an 8-speed automatic transmission.
We cover the high-performance version of the BMW 5 Series, the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/bmw/m5/">M5</a>, in a separate review. There’s an all-electric 5 Series as well, the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/bmw/i5/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BMW i5</a>, which we also review separately.
<h3>4-Year/50,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
BMW protects its new vehicles and their powertrains for four years or 50,000 miles, whichever happens first. This is typical among European luxury car makers. The 550e’s hybrid battery is covered for eight years or 100,000 miles. There’s also roadside assistance for the first four years, with unlimited mileage, plus three years or 36,000 miles of free scheduled maintenance.
<h3>Safety Ratings</h3>
This generation of 5 Series has been named a Top Safety Pick by the <a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Insurance Institute for Highway Safety</a>, the agency’s second-highest accolade. Standard safety equipment includes forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, lane departure alert, and Active Blind Spot Detection with rear cross-traffic alert. Our one gripe here is that adaptive cruise control costs extra in what is already a pricey luxury car.

This generation debuted just two model years ago, so there are only a few changes to the 5 Series this time around. The list of paint choices now includes Frozen Portimao Blue metallic, while Dark Violet or Taupe paired with Atlas Grey leather are fresh interior color schemes. And the 550e Drive plug-in hybrid can now charge its battery quicker than before.

2025Lexus RZ

2025Lexus RZ Archives - Kelley Blue Book

$43,500 - $48,499

$43,500 - $48,499 Archives - Kelley Blue Book

The 2025 Lexus RZ is a plush, hushed, well-equipped luxury compact electric SUV with plenty of standard features and tech.

<ul>
<li>Range could be better</li>
</ul>

The RZ 300e is the starting model, sporting a single front-mounted electric motor driving the front wheels with 201 horsepower. The RZ 450e adds a second, rear-mounted electric motor and all-wheel drive (AWD), increasing output to 308 hp.
Both models have a composed suspension, with responsive steering and natural brake feel. The RZ 450e’s five-second zero-to-60-mph time is brisk, and its all-wheel drive gives sure-footed traction. The RZ 300e accelerates from a standstill to 60 mph in about 7.4 seconds — still quick enough for most people, and about on par with the combustion-powered Lexus RX.
Range and Charging
The RZ 300e has an EPA rating of up to 266 miles with 18-inch wheels or 224 miles with optional 20-inch wheels. The more powerful RZ 450e achieves 220 miles with the 18-inch wheels or 196 miles with 20-inch wheels.
Onboard charging with the RZ is limited to 240-volt Level 2 charging, refilling the battery in about 9.5 hours. Fortunately, the RZ is also capable of DC fast charging, replenishing the RZ 300e’s battery to 80% in about 35 minutes, or the RZ 450e’s in about 30 minutes. The RZ employs a CCS1 charging connector for DC charging.

Bumper to bumper, the RZ is a modern Lexus design with crisp angles, flowing surfaces, and bold details. The company&#8217;s distonct spindle grille is inverted into a smooth, aerodynamic form at the nose, while the rear’s muscular fender haunches blend seamlessly into the tail.
The RZ is not especially large, despite all that interior space. It’s a bit shorter than the gas-powered RX, and about the same size as the Model Y. The GV60 and EX40 are a bit shorter overall.

Wireless phone integration 
Both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are wireless in the RZ, as is phone charging. If you prefer to plug in, there are five USB-C ports. For passengers, there’s also Wi-Fi.
Frequency Reactive Dampers 
These computer-controlled dampers absorb and diffuse the worst of the road’s imperfections while also providing great stability. The RZ is the first Lexus to get this advanced technology.
Mark Levinson audio 
Even if you don’t identify as an audiophile, you’ll appreciate the crisp highs and deep bass of this optional audio upgrade. With 13 speakers and 1,800 watts of surround-sound power, this one is worth the extra money.
Advanced Park 
This self-parking system controls the steering, throttle, and brakes to maneuver into or out of tight or tricky parking spaces.
Panoramic View monitor 
This system, standard in the Premium and Luxury trims of the RZ 300e and RZ 450e, uses cameras to provide a 360-degree view of your surroundings. It is perfect for avoiding obstacles or making sure pets and/or kids are clear of the vehicle.
Infotainment system 
The 14-inch screen no longer qualifies as “big” in a world of dash-spanning monoliths, but it’s plenty spacious and clear for interacting with Lexus’ easy-to-use infotainment system. If you prefer, you can control many of the vehicle’s functions through voice commands.

Comfortable and Spacious Interior

The RZ’s 5-seat cabin is a familiar place if you’ve driven other modern Lexus vehicles, and that’s a good thing. The materials are rich and textured as well as visually pleasing, and the controls feel solid and substantial. The front seats are comfortable and spacious, although some of us have noted the seating position feels a bit higher than normal.
This year’s new addition to the RZ range, the base model, makes its cost savings by doing without some of the more opulent elements of the higher trims while retaining the core luxury staples. For instance, the base models of the 300e and 450e don’t offer any form of ambient lighting, while the Premium and Luxury trims offer increasingly complex lighting themes. On the other hand, the base model uses the same NuLuxe-trimmed  (simulated leather) upholstery as the Premium trim, and all three trims have the same 8-way power-adjustable front seats.
The RZ has a good balance between size and space. The second row offers 37.5 inches of legroom, about the same as the GV60 and EX40 but a bit less than the Model Y. The RZ’s cargo area is the largest of the group, however, with 34.9 cubic feet behind the second row. That’s about five to 10 cubic feet more than most of the competition, and more than double the EX40’s 16 cubic feet.

The Lexus RZ’s all-electric nature suits Lexus’ whisper-quiet cabins and plush accommodations to perfection, making the most of its quiet drivetrain and supple ride. That’s not to say the RZ isn’t also athletic, with both powertrain variants capable of brisk acceleration. Maximum range is 266 miles, which is plenty for most folks, but not as much as some might want for regular road-trip usage, especially if you’re only charging to 80% for battery longevity. Still, the RZ’s range handily exceeds most people’s daily commuting requirements, and it can be fast-charged to 80% in about 30 minutes or charged overnight at home.
We’ve logged hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/electric-car/best-luxury-electric-suvs/">electric luxury SUVs</a>, including the Lexus RZ.

<a href="https://www.kbb.com/tesla/model-y/2025/">Tesla’s Model Y</a>, the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/genesis/gv60/">Genesis GV60</a>, and the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/volvo/ex40/">Volvo EX40</a> (previously known as the XC40 Recharge) are the closest natural competitors to the Lexus RZ, offering functions and features at similar prices. The Model Y is on the less expensive end of the price spectrum, but it’s also the least luxurious in terms of accommodations and features, starting around $47,000. The GV60 and EX40 both start around $54,000, while the Lexus RZ undercuts them all by a fair margin, starting around $44,000 in the new-for-2025 base trim on the 300e model. Even stepping up to the midlevel RZ 300e Premium or opting for the base 450e only takes the price up to about $48,000. This makes the Lexus RZ a comparative value in the compact luxury electric SUV class.
Before buying a new Lexus RZ, be sure to check our Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to see what you should be paying. The Lexus RZ isn’t old enough to have great resale value data, but after just a couple of years of sales, it’s showing better resale value than either the luxury compact SUV segment or the EV market as a whole. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

<ul>
<li>Outstanding quality</li>
<li>Refined driving character</li>
<li>Excellent technology</li>
</ul>

Battery & Efficiency

Thanks to their different output levels and packaging requirements, the two RZ models deploy slightly different battery packs. The RZ 300e uses a 72.8-kWh unit, while the 450e comes with a slightly smaller 71.4-kWh counterpart. Both variants are extremely efficient, offering up to 125 MPGe in 300e form and 107 MPGe in 450e guise. In both cases, the greatest efficiency is achieved with 18-inch wheels. Those MPGe figures are at the top of the class, tying the Tesla Model Y’s best.
4-Year/50,000-Mile Warranty
The basic Lexus new-vehicle warranty lasts four years or 50,000 miles, whichever happens first, a typical span among luxury vehicles. Powertrains are covered for six years or 70,000 miles, which is better than most European competitors. The battery is covered by an 8-year/100,000-mile warranty.
Safety Ratings
The RZ has previously been awarded the highest accolade of Top Safety Pick+ by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings/">IIHS</a>), and the 2025 RZ earns a 5-Star rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/">NHTSA</a>). A comprehensive array of safety technology is standard in the RZ.

The Lexus RZ was introduced as a single model for 2023, and last year it gained the RZ 300e to complement the range-topping RX 450e. This year, the RZ gains an entry-level trim for both variants, bringing the tally up to three trims each: Standard, Premium, and Luxury.
