Summary

In this episode, we’re on location in Ojai, where Toyota unveiled its expanding electric vehicle roadmap. We get a first look at the upcoming 2027 Highlander EV, then hit the road to test-drive two key models shaping Toyota’s EV push: the 2026 bZ Woodland, an off-road–focused evolution of the original bZ, and the 2026 C-HR, which returns to the U.S. market as a fully electric compact SUV.
