PLANO, Texas, May 14, 2025 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Today Toyota announces the all-new 2026 Toyota C-HR Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV), an all-new model set to be a bold entry in its electrified lineup. With an impressive 338 horsepower combined system output, and standard All-Wheel Drive, it has a performance-inspired spirit with a manufacturer estimated 0-60 mph time of around 5 seconds. The C-HR couples its dynamic performance with a coupe-like design, a well-appointed interior, and up-to 25.4-cubic feet of rear cargo space behind the rear seats for compact crossover utility.

The 2026 C-HR BEV brings cutting-edge style and high-tech features. It will be powered by a 74.7 kW battery and have a manufacturer-estimated all-electric range rating of 290 miles*. It will come equipped with a North American Charging System (NACS) port, giving it access to thousands of DC charging stations nationwide. It will also be capable of charging on Level One and Level Two AC power sources. Steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters that control regenerative braking power are also standard. When activated, four different levels of regenerative braking power can be selected to convert kinetic energy to electric energy, adding charge to the traction battery.

It will come in SE and XSE grades and have great standard interior features like a 14-inch touchscreen that runs the Toyota Audio Multimedia system, fully digital gauge cluster, dual wireless chargers in the center console, and the Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 system. The cabin also brings comfort, with seating choices from fabric and SofTex®-trim to synthetic suede and SofTex-trim.

On the outside, key standard equipment like a power liftgate, low-profile roof rails, and rain-sensing wipers bring functional value. There will be 18-inch and 20-inch wheel options and a variety of available exterior paint colors in single and two-tone paint options.

Developed from a compact BEV concept Toyota first presented in 2022, the new C-HR BEV is the 20^th electrified model to be added to the Toyota lineup. The model carries forward Toyota’s multi-pathway powertrain approach, which includes a variety of models available across its lineup to fit customers’ lifestyles, including BEV, Hybrid, Plug-in Hybrid, and Fuel Cell (CA and Hawaii only) powertrains. The 2026 C-HR BEV is expected to arrive at Toyota dealerships nationwide in 2026.

Spacious Style

The Toyota C-HR BEV is designed as an expression of the fun-to-drive, exhilarating character of electric vehicles. Built on Toyota’s dedicated e-TNGA battery electric vehicle platform, its flowing body lines and wide stance convey a dynamic drive. The vehicle’s compact coupe silhouette is formed by Toyota’s signature hammerhead front end flowing seamlessly into a compact cabin and angular rear.

The C-HR has compact crossover proportions with an overall length of 177.9-inches, overall width of 73.6-inches, wheelbase of 108.3-inches, and overall height 63.8-inches. This helps give it spacious accommodation, with generous headroom and ample cabin space. The interior design is clean and open, with a slim driver’s display and easy-to-access center console. For an added touch, it also has customizable ambient lighting for setting just the right mood. Altogether, it has a comfortable, high-tech cabin that is stylish and functional.

It also provides drivers and passengers alike with plenty of comfort and convenience, such as two wireless smartphone chargers and rear cabin USB ports to ensure everyone on board can be connected when on the move; rear cabin air conditioning controls; and an available panoramic roof that brings natural light to all parts of the interior.

Electrifying Performance

The 2026 Toyota C-HR BEV comes equipped with standard AWD with electric motors housed in the front and rear eAxles. Altogether, the model is expected to be capable of going from 0 to 60 miles per hour in around 5 seconds. Its coupe-like lines are complemented by a low center of gravity, thanks to the underfloor-mounted battery pack that is surrounded by a cross-framing structure for overall vehicle rigidity. In addition to the fundamental strength, rigidity and agility of the dedicated BEV platform, suspension parts have been precisely tuned for the new C-HR, including spring and damper performance and the stiffness of the anti-roll bars.

It will have a lithium-ion battery with a total capacity of 74.7-kWh and an 11-kW on-board AC charger. It will have a NACS charging port that is compatible with Level Three DC fast-charging, giving it access to thousands of high-speed charging stations nationwide. When using fast charging the C-HR will be capable of recharging from 10% to 80% battery capacity in around 30 minutes under ideal conditions*. The 2026 C-HR will also be capable of charging on Level One and Level Two AC power sources.

A battery pre-conditioning function is also included on C-HR. This system brings the battery to an optimal temperature for DC fast charging, enabling faster charging in colder climates. This function can be activated manually or automatically by setting the navigation system destination to a fast-charging station.  

The 2026 C-HR also features steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters to activate and adjust regenerative braking. Regenerative braking is the process of converting energy created by the movement of the vehicle, also known as kinetic energy, into electrical energy. The driver can adjust the amount of regenerative braking power from four levels using the paddle shifters.

Two Style and Value-Packed Grades

The all-electric 2026 C-HR will be available in an SE and XSE grade. Exterior paint options on both grades will include the all-new Overcast and Tandoori colors, along with Cement, Midnight Black Metallic, and Wind Chill Pearl (premium paint option).

The remote climate features include the ability for in-cabin temperature controls, including remote activation of the available seat heaters/ventilators, steering wheel heater, defroster, and the ability to schedule a timer to activate in a daily routine.

Remote charging capabilities are also included with Remote Connect trial or subscription on the C-HR, which includes the ability to check charging status, start/stop charging with a vehicle that is already plugged in and even edit charging schedules, allowing for enhanced controls of the C-HR’s charging. The Toyota App also provides an easy-to-use map to find charging station locations near you or along your route.

Active Safety & Driver Assist Technology

The C-HR features Toyota Safety Sense 3.0™, Toyota’s suite of active safety and driver assistance features designed to support driver awareness, decision-making, and vehicle operation. Please note that Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 systems and driver assist features are not a substitute for safe and attentive driving. The safety suite includes:

• Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection (PCS w/PD): Designed to help detect a vehicle, pedestrian, bicyclist, or motorcyclist and provide an audible/visual forward-collision warning under certain circumstances. If you don’t react, the system is designed to provide automatic emergency braking.
• Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DCRR): An adaptive cruise control system that is designed to be set at speeds above 20 mph. DRCC uses vehicle-to-vehicle distance control to help maintain a preset distance from the vehicle ahead of you.
• Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist (LDA w/SA):  Detects lane markings or the road’s edge at speeds above 30 mph. LDA w/SA is designed to provide an audible/visual warning if an inadvertent lane departure is detected. If no corrective action is taken, Steering Assist is designed to provide gentle corrective steering for lane-keeping assistance.
• Lane Tracing Assist (LTA): Designed to help keep the vehicle in the center of a lane. LTA assists the driver with steering control while DRCC is in use.
• Road Sign Assist (RSA): Uses the forward-facing camera to recognize specific road signs, such as speed limit, stop, and yield signs. RSA provides sign information to the driver via the Multi-Information Display.
• Automatic High Beams (AHB): Designed to detect headlights of oncoming vehicles and taillights of preceding vehicles. AHB automatically toggles between high and low beams as appropriate.
• Proactive Driving Assist (PDA): Uses the vehicle’s camera and radar, when system operating conditions are met, to provide gentle braking and/or steering to support driving tasks such as distance control between your vehicle and a preceding vehicle, pedestrian, or bicyclist. PDA can also provide gentle braking into curves.

For complete details on TSS 3.0, please visit Toyota.com/safety-sense.

Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert is also standard. The BSM system uses rear side radar sensors installed on the inner side of the rear bumper, on both the left and right sides, to assist the driver in confirming safety when changing lanes. The RCTA function uses the same sensors installed behind the rear bumper. This function is intended to assist the driver in checking areas that are not easily visible when backing up.

Safe Exit Alert is also standard on the C-HR. This system is designed to detect vehicles or cyclists approaching from the rear and judge if there is a possibility of a collision with an open door or passengers who are exiting. Safe Exit Alert will illuminate an indicator in the outer mirror and provide an audible alert to notify vehicle occupants.

The Toyota C-HR is also equipped with Toyota’s Star Safety System, standard. This system includes Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction Control (TRAC), Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BA) and Smart Stop Technology® (SST).

Driver assistance features include Traffic Jam Assist, Lane Change Assist, and Front Cross-Traffic Alert, standard**.

In terms of battery safety, Toyota uses many measures to help protect cell integrity, thanks to the design and a multiple monitoring system intended to protect the vehicle’s battery system. This includes:

• Redundant monitoring of battery voltage, current and temperature designed to detect signs of abnormal heating to maintain optimal battery temperature and help prevent cell damage
• Utilization of a high-resistance coolant circulation system is designed to help prevent a thermal event from short circuits even in high battery load conditions due to repeatedly switching between high-speed driving and rapid charging

Limited Warranty

Toyota’s 36-month/36,000-mile basic new-vehicle warranty applies to all components other than normal wear and maintenance items. Additional 60-month warranties cover the powertrain for 60,000 miles and corrosion with no mileage limitation. The Electric Vehicle Driving Components, including the traction battery, are covered for 8 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. Toyota dealers have complete details on the limited warranty.

The Toyota C-HR also comes with ToyotaCare, a plan covering normal factory-scheduled maintenance, for two years or 25,000 miles, whichever comes first, and three years of Roadside Assistance, regardless of mileage.

TAMPA BAY, Fla., May 12, 2025 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Being involved in a Florida car accident can be overwhelming. You may be dealing with painful injuries, vehicle damage, and the emotional shock of the crash. However, the actions you take immediately after the accident can directly affect your ability to recover full compensation. As any experienced Dennis Hernandez accident lawyer or personal injury attorney will tell you, proper documentation is one of the most effective ways to protect your legal rights when filing a motor vehicle accident insurance claim. Collecting the right evidence strengthens your claim and increases your chances of recovering damages for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. We’ll explain what to document after a Florida car accident, what types of evidence support a personal injury claim, and how your car accident lawyer can use this information to build a strong case on your behalf.

What Should You Do First After a Car Accident in Florida?

Understanding what to do after a car accident in Florida is crucial for protecting your rights and supporting your claim. After ensuring everyone is safe and calling emergency services, begin documenting the scene. If you’re physically able to do so, take the following key steps to take after a car accident in Florida:

• Take accident scene photos and videos of the accident scene, including damage to all vehicles, road conditions, traffic signs, skid marks, and any injuries.
• Capture wide shots to show context and close-ups for details.
• Photograph vehicle license plates and any identifying features.

Your phone’s camera is a valuable tool—use it generously to record anything that may later be useful for your case and the car accident claim procedure.

Why Is Collecting Contact and Insurance Information Important for Your Case?

The Florida traffic crash driver information exchange is a critical part of the accident claims process. Exchange contact and insurance information with the other driver(s), and be sure to gather:

• Full names and phone numbers
• Driver’s license numbers
• Insurance details (company name and policy number)
• Vehicle make, model, and license plate numbers

Also, if there are any witnesses nearby, ask for their names and contact information. Independent witness statements can significantly help verify your account of what happened and support your Florida car accident injury claim.

How Can a Police Report Help Your Accident Lawyer?

Many people wonder, “Do you need a police report to file an insurance claim in Florida?” While it’s not always mandatory, a police report for a car accident in Florida can be invaluable. The responding officer will create an official car accident report, which is often a critical piece of evidence in personal injury claims. Make note of the officer’s name and badge number, and ask how you can obtain a copy of the report. In Florida, most police reports are available online within a few days, adhering to Florida accident reporting requirements.

Why Should You Write Down Your Own Account of the Crash?

Memories fade quickly, especially in stressful situations. As soon as you’re able, write down everything you remember about the accident:

• Time and location
• Weather and road conditions
• What you saw, heard, and felt
• Actions of the other driver before the crash

This personal statement can serve as a valuable reference for your attorney later on, especially when dealing with an at-fault accident in Florida.

What Documents Should You Save After a Florida Car Crash?

Documenting car accident injuries and keeping thorough records is essential for your claim. Keep a dedicated folder—physical or digital—for any documents related to the accident, including:

• Car accident medical records and bills
• Car repair estimates and receipts
• Insurance company correspondence
• Lost wage records

This level of organization makes it easier for your attorney to present a clear, comprehensive case when negotiating a settlement or pursuing a lawsuit under Florida car accident laws.

Should You Post About Your Car Accident on Social Media?

Even if you’re documenting everything for legal purposes, avoid sharing photos or statements about the accident on social media. Insurance companies may monitor your posts and try to use them to dispute your claim during the negotiation process.

Is Dennis Hernandez Injury Attorneys the best law firm for me?

At Dennis Hernandez & Associates, we understand how overwhelming the aftermath of a car accident can be. That’s why we’re here to guide you through every step of your legal journey, including the complexities of a Florida truck accident claim if applicable. When you document the accident thoroughly, you give your legal team the foundation they need to fight for the compensation you deserve.

Remember, there’s a statute of limitations for filing car accident claims in Florida, so prompt reporting and seeking legal assistance is crucial. Our experienced insurance adjusters and attorneys can help you navigate the claims process, deal with insurance coverage issues, and ensure you receive appropriate PIP benefits and compensation for bodily injury and property damage liability.

“There is great importance for, after a crash, you to do these things: Call 911 and be seen by a medical doctor right away; take extensive photos of the scene of the crash and all of the vehicles involved in the crash; have law enforcement called to the scene to report the crash; do not speak with the insurance company about your injuries; contact Dennis Hernandez Injury Attorneys at 855-529-3366, 813-250-0000 or visit us at dennishernandez.com “

It also has an impressive manufacturer estimated 42 combined MPG rating for all Hybrid grades.

Gas-powered models have the Dynamic Force 4-cylinder, 2.0-liter DOHC 16-valve engine with Dual Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i) paired to a Continuously Variable Transmission with intelligence and Shift Mode (CVTi-S). Overall, it produces a punchy 169 horsepower on the gas model and has a physical first gear for an engaging driving experience.

For those who choose a gas-powered AWD model, Toyota’s clever Dynamic Torque Control system directs up to 50% of power to the rear wheels when it’s needed – and disengages completely when it’s not. This feature helps Corolla Cross’ fuel economy – another strong suit for this powertrain – with a manufacturer estimated 30 combined MPG rating on AWD models; FWD equipped models have a manufacturer estimated 32 combined MPG rating.

Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 Standard

True to Toyota form, modern safety is key for Corolla Cross. That’s why all grades come standard with both the Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 (TSS 3.0) suite of advanced active safety equipment and convenience features, as well as Toyota’s signature STAR Safety System.

There are also available safety and convenience features like Blind Spot Monitor and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, standard on LE and XLE and SE and XSE grades, and Front and Rear Parking Assist with Automatic Braking, standard on the XLE and XSE grades. All grades come with nine airbags throughout the cabin standard to help protect occupants.

• Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist (LDA w/SA)

Additional 60-month warranties cover the powertrain for 60,000 miles and against perforation from corrosion for 60 months with no mileage limitation. Corolla Cross Hybrid-related components that require repairs needed to correct defects in materials or workmanship are covered for 8 years/100,000 miles, whichever comes first from original date of first use when sold as new.

One of Five in Mississippi for Green Building Council’s Highest Level of Distinction

BLUE SPRINGS, Miss., May 8, 2025 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Platinum is the new gold standard at Toyota Mississippi after its Experience Center received a LEED Platinum certification.

The 15,000-square foot facility opened in June 2022 with an innovative flare for teaching the Toyota Way to guests from around the world. The concept is rooted in the company’s principles for environmental performance and sustainability spanning across four key focus areas: Carbon, Water, Biodiversity and Circular Economy.

“The Mississippi Experience Center is a blend of innovation coupled with Toyota’s fundamental environmental philosophy to make a better planet,” said Sean McCarthy, Toyota Mississippi engineering manager. “We’re proud our facility is one of five in the state at this level, and we hope it sets an example for others to build sustainably and do what’s right for the future of our planet.”

Carbon:

Taking center spotlight, the facility boasts a dedicated solar farm generating more than 7,000 kilowatt hours each month. That’s enough to power seven Mississippi homes. But the brightest idea was strategically placing the building and windows to align with the stars—well, the only star in our solar system—leveraging natural light and LED fixtures to reduce light usage by 50 percent.

Water:

Toyota then opened the flood gates on water conservation and alternative usage methods. Whether from a subtle spring shower or a Mississippi monsoon, raindrops are directed from the building’s roof into a 5,000-gallon underground holding tank to use for flushing the facility’s toilets, saving fresh water for drinking and handwashing.

Biodiversity:

The site’s unique bio-retention pond functions as a natural filtration system for rainwater runoff in the parking lot and provides a thriving eco-system for biodiversity. As storm water flows into the pond, it filters sediment naturally creating a habitat for local flora and fauna including the site’s two indicator species: the Northern Bobwhite quail and Wood duck.

Circular Economy:

As sure as the world turns, so does Toyota’s continued mission for a circular economy, which means optimizing resource use and minimizing waste across the entire production and consumption cycle. Simply put, reduce or eliminate waste, reuse and recycle. The Toyota Mississippi Experience Center leveraged this focus area by using reclaimed materials within the building while minimizing waste sent to the landfill during construction.

This project yielded no shortage of sustainable concepts, and the mission is still growing. Toyota is driving forward with its commitment to minimize environmental impacts, while helping employees create positive impacts on the planet and society.

Come see the Toyota Mississippi Experience Center for yourself. The team provides public tours of the facility and the manufacturing plant, where its 2,400 employees proudly assemble the Toyota Corolla. Book your tour today at www.TourToyota.com/MS.

PLANO, Texas, May 6, 2025 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — For the 2026 model year, the Corolla Hatchback welcomes the FX edition into the fold, igniting the spirit of the legendary FX16. This special edition masterfully blends nostalgic charm with contemporary dynamism, injecting a dose of bold athleticism into the already spirited Corolla Hatchback.

Based on the SE grade, the Corolla Hatchback FX adds a black vented sport wing for aggressive flair and improved aerodynamics. The 18-inch gloss white-finished alloy wheels with black lug nuts give an unexpected wow factor. Other stylish features include a heritage-inspired rear badge reminiscent of the original FX16 from the 80s.

Additionally, this hatchback provides a nimble ride and has a manufacturer-estimated 33 combined MPG rating.

Inside, the Corolla Hatchback FX showcases new black Sport Touring Seats with suede inserts and orange stitching, but the pop of color doesn’t stop there. The bright stitching continues on the door panels, steering wheel and shifter boot. The special edition comes standard with a 7-inch digital gauge cluster that shares useful vehicle information and can be customized to show different layouts based on the driver’s preference.
