Toyota’s 2026 line-up: cheaper EVs, longer range and an electric Hilux on the way

Toyota is rolling out a wide mix of electric, hybrid and plug-in models in 2026 – giving fleets more choice across cars, SUVs and pick-ups, with a clear focus on cost, range and usability.

Urban Cruiser – Toyota’s entry-level EV

If you’re moving into an EV for the first time, this is probably where Toyota expects you to land.

  • From around £29,995 expected early 2026
  • Up to 264 miles range
  • Compact SUV size

This is the kind of car you’d use for:

  • commuting
  • school runs
  • weekend trips without overthinking charging

The Urban Cruiser is easy to live with and relatively affordable, which is exactly what a lot of drivers still want from an EV.

bZ4X – more range and a new estate option

The bZ4X is Toyota’s more established EV – and now it’s getting more range and even an estate-style version.

  • Typically £40,000+ (depending on spec)
  • Up to 352 miles range
  • New Touring version with 600 litres of boot space

This is the one for:

  • motorway driving
  • families
  • drivers who don’t want to charge all the time

It’s less about price and more about comfort and range confidence.

RAV4 – longer electric-only driving for PHEV fleets

Not everyone wants to commit to a full EV yet – and Toyota knows it.

  • From around £45,000 (plug-in hybrid)
  • Up to 62 miles electric-only driving

This works well if:

  • you can charge at home but still do longer trips
  • you want lower fuel costs without worrying about range

Think of it as a halfway step: electric for the week, petrol backup for longer drives. Model to launch in 2026.

C-HR+ – electric version of a proven fleet favourite

The C-HR has always been a popular company car, this is the fully electric version.

  • Current C-HR starts from around £31,645 (hybrid)
  • EV version expected to sit above that price point
  • Up to 376 miles range

This feels like:

  • a step up from the Urban Cruiser
  • but cheaper than the bZ4X

For a lot of drivers, this could end up being the sweet spot between price and range.

Hilux – first fully electric version

The biggest shift comes with the Hilux, available for the first time as an EV at some point this year.

  • 59.2kWh battery
  • 150 miles range
  • Payload – 715kg
  • Towing – 1,600kg
  • All-wheel drive via dual eAxles

While the range is lower than passenger EVs, the key point is capability. This is aimed at fleets that need a working vehicle, not just a company car.
