Toyota has been practically absent from the electric car. He has done so by his own decision, ensuring that his fight was in the hybrid and in a strategy that he said was based on give each market what was expected of it. But also because Toyota bZ4X It has had an almost testimonial reception. Its production has been a headache, it came with significant construction problems that led to calls for review by problems with your wheels. And the car was expensive for its autonomy, derived from very high consumption. Now, Toyota wants to remake itself and take positions. With an electric car that continues to grow in Europe and encouraged by the recent update of its first electric car that has given it a step up in sales, it arrives with an electric car that the customer seems to be asking for: contained size, commensurate price and a battery that promises good autonomy data. Technical data sheet of the Toyota C-HR+ Toyota C-HR+ Body type. Five-seater SUV. Measurements and weight. 4,520 meters long, 1,870 meters wide and 1,595 meters high. Wheelbase of 2,750 meters.

Deliveries in the first quarter of 2026: Spirit (front-wheel drive): from 36,500 euros Advance (all-wheel drive): from 44,000 euros Why does an electric car have less autonomy than advertised? The expected electric Toyota Although we had already had a first preview of what we could expect with this Toyota C-HR+, it was not until today that all the details have been completely revealed… including its price. Aesthetically, the new Toyota C-HR+, the electric version of the SUV, does not differ much from the already known hybrid models. Of course, it grows in size until it reaches 4.52 meters in length. In width it remains at 1.87 meters and the height goes to 1.60 meters. That is, it grows about 16 centimeters in length and 5 centimeters in height but maintains its width. The battle takes advantage of the fact that the car is stretched and goes to 2.75 meters of wheelbase, 11 centimeters more so the interior size should grow obviously. It continues to use the e-TNGA platform like the Toyota bZ4X but being smaller it places a 77 kWh battery (72 kWh useful) that is combined with two motors. The front-wheel drive model has a single motor with 165 kW (224 HP) and will offer a range of “up to 609 kilometers.” The approved consumption (pending confirmation) Toyota anticipates will be 13.8 kWh/100 km. The all-wheel drive option mounts two motors (one on the rear axle) and together they combine 252 kW (343 HP). In this case, the autonomy will be “up to 500 kilometers.” In this case, the expected consumption is 15.4 kWh/100 km. What does this mean in terms of highway data? In the absence of testing it and checking whether Toyota has improved the efficiency of its electric motors, the aforementioned consumptions indicate runs of more than 400 kilometers without recharging for the single-motor version and around 350 kilometers for the two-motor version. Regarding its charging power, the car can be charged in direct current at a maximum of 150 kW (the brand promises to be able to go from 10 to 80% in 30 minutes) and in alternating current at 11 kW in the single motor version and 22 kW if we talk about the double motor option. Once inside the car, behind the steering wheel there is a seven-inch instrument panel and is accompanied by a 14 inch central screencompatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The top version includes an 800W JBL sound system with a nine-inch subwoofer and eight speakers. As for driving aids, the car comes from the start with Toyota Safety Sense that includes blind spot detector, automatic light control, emergency braking and parking sensors. If you opt for the higher version, front cross traffic alert, lane change assistant and 360º camera are added. In addition, an alert warning is incorporated when opening the doors, whose handles light up red if the presence of an approaching car is detected. Regarding availability, the first units will arrive in the first quarter of 2026 and can be obtained with the following prices before applying the aid from the MOVES III Plan: Toyota C-HR+ Advance 165 kW (224 HP): from 36,500 euros Toyota C-HR+ Spirit 252 kW (343 HP): from 44,000 euros Photos | toyota In Xataka | While half the world doubts the electric car, Toyota smiles: it is achieving the best results in its history

Samsung has just launched its long-awaited rival for Apple Vision Pro. Your new mixed reality glasses are the Samsung Galaxy XRand certainly its benefits are promising. We have a device that does practically everything that the Vision Pro does, but that also does it by opening a new alternative with the Android XR operating system. Not only that: they have achieved it with a lighter design and, above all, with a price that is half that of the Vision Pro. We already tested them at Google I/O a few months agobut finally we have them with us officially. Let’s get to know them in depth. Technical sheet of the Samsung Galaxy XR Samsung Galaxy xr Screens 3,552 x 3,840 Micro-OLED displays, 27 million pixels, 95% DCI-P3 60, 72 and up to 90 Hz refresh rates FOV: 109º (horizontal) / 100º (vertical) SoC Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 Platform Memory 16 GB Storage 256GB Camera Supports 3D (spatial) photo and video capture 6.5MP, 18mm, f/2.0 Sensors Two high-resolution cameras for pass-through Six cameras that capture the exterior Four cameras that capture the eye Five Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) depth sensor Flicker sensor Audio and video Two two-way speakers (woofer + tweeter) Six-microphone array Support Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby Atmos Support 5K Video at 60 FPS, HDR10, HLG Battery Up to 2 hours of general use Up to 2.5 hours of video playback The glasses can be used while the battery is recharging Connectivity Wi-Fi 7 Bluetooth 5.4 Biometrics Iris recognition support for unlocking the device and entering passwords pupillary distance 54-70mm Prescription lenses can be purchased separately Weight 545g (with pads) External battery: 302g Price $1,799 Light, promising… and much cheaper The first thing that surprises about the Samsung Galaxy XR is its weight, which is reduced to 545 grams compared to 800 grams of the Apple Vision Pro (2025) with band included. Samsung’s intention here is evident: to ensure that we can use the glasses for prolonged periods without ending up with any discomfort or those marks around the eyes that the Vision Pro usually leave when used for long sessions. The design of the glasses is similar to that offered by the Apple model, but here we have a kind of “visor”, a pad on the top of the glasses that allows us to barely receive any light from the outside as soon as we put them on. The Samsung Galaxy XR look like somewhat bulkier ski goggles: the front is dominated by glassand behind it you can see several cameras that capture both what surrounds us and the gestures we make with our hands. Inside it has micro-OLED screens that support 4K resolutions at 90 Hz but also allow you to enjoy 8K video at 60 FPS. There are no specific details about the battery capacity, but Samsung promises that in general use it can last two hours and When playing video, this autonomy is extended to a maximum of two and a half hours. The limitation here is similar to that of the Vision Pro, although like them, the Samsung Galaxy XR can be used with the external battery (which weighs 302 grams, slightly more than a large mobile phone) connected. There is another important element in this design: the strap with which we adjust the glasses cannot be separated from the glasses: it is a light plastic band with a padded back and a dial that allows you to adjust it firmly at the head. This seems to be one of the sections in which Samsung has preferred to make sacrifices: the Apple bands are interchangeable and the materials are more advanced, but in the Galaxy XR the objective was to simplify that section and, we suppose, reduce costs. In fact, the price is one of the most powerful arguments of this device: while the Apple Vision Pro costs $3,499, The Samsung Galaxy XR costs $1,799. Practically half the price for a product that promises to do the same thing with the same quality as its rival. If it lives up to that promise, we are looking at a particularly attractive product. A user experience modeled on visionOS… but with Gemini Once we have them on, we can expect a user experience practically identical to that offered by the Vision Pro. To begin with, the cameras allow us to capture the outside and make we can see it at all times thanks to the passthrough which promises to be remarkable although not perfect: we will see everything around us, but there are still differences with seeing that exterior with our own eyes. As in Apple’s glasses, Android XR and the eye-tracking cameras inside the Galaxy The appearance of this interface is that of Android XR, but with a design and interaction that once again They are basically the same as what Apple proposed with visionOS. Samsung promises immersive environments, spatial photos – there is also the option to convert 2D photos into spatial photos – and the ability to connect to a PC or laptop to use the glasses as an external monitor on which to open several windows. However, a potential advantage of these glasses that on Android XR we have the power of Gemini. The executives of Samsung and Google stressed in a conversation with the media that this device had “AI at its core” in reference to the ability to use Gemini to interact with the Galaxy XR. This means that, for example, if we read a physical magazine with glasses on (thanks to passhtrough) we can use the “Circle to search” function at any time to obtain more information about a certain part of the text or an image. If we see an immersive 3D map in Google Maps, we can ask Gemini things about that area. And if we watch a YouTube video, we can open a Gemini Live session, share our screen with the AI ​​and ask questions about what we’re watching because Gemini “will see what we … Read more

Without events and practically a surprise, Apple has officially presented the new 14-inch MacBook Pro with M5 chipan update that promises significant improvements in both performance, autonomy and artificial intelligence, while maintaining the same starting price as its predecessor. The company has also announced the new iPad Pro and its new generation of Vision Pro mixed reality glasses. MacBook Pro M5, technical sheet MacBook Pro 14″ M5 Screen Liquid Retina XDR, 1,600 nits (HDR), 1,000 nits (SDR) Processor Apple M5 Memory From 16GB storage From 512 GB and up to 4 TB connectivity Thunderbolt 4 camera 12 MP with Center Stage technology autonomy Up to 24 hours PRICE From 1,829 euros Apple MacBook Pro M5 14″, 512GB, 16GB RAM The price could vary. We earn commission from these links New M5 chip: improvements in AI and graphics performance The protagonist of this new generation is the M5 chip, manufactured with 3 nanometer technology. Apple assures that it offers up to 3.5 times more performance in artificial intelligence tasks compared to the M4and up to 1.6 times more graphics power. The new processor incorporates a 10-core GPU with a neural accelerator in each of them, which according to the company significantly improves the processing of local AI models, the generation of images and the execution of language models. The CPU, also with 10 cores, promises 20% more multi-core performance compared to the M4, a detail that especially benefits tasks such as code compilation or simultaneous work with several professional applications. Faster storage and greater autonomy Another notable change is the incorporation of Fastest SSD storage technologywhich according to Apple can up to double the performance of the previous model in read and write operations. This translates into shorter times when importing RAW files or exporting large videos. The maximum storage configuration reaches 4TB. Regarding autonomy, Apple announces up to 24 hours of battery life. Apple compares it to the MacBook Pro with M1with an increment of four hours. There is also a notable increase compared to Intel-based models, which would gain up to 14 additional hours. Of course, perhaps the most notable difference in this aspect (and not exactly for the better) is that this new model does not include a power adapter, so if we want it, we must add 65 euros more to the bill for the 70 W one or 85 euros for the 96 W one. A familiar and unchanged design The MacBook Pro M5 maintains the design and screen specifications of its predecessor: 14.2-inch Liquid Retina In addition, the company offers a nanotextured glass option to reduce reflections, also present in previous generations. Connectivity doesn’t change either: three ports ThunderboltSD card reader, HDMI and MagSafe 3 connector for charging. The 12 MP webcam with Center Stage technology (which has made the leap to the iPhone 17), a six-speaker system and Wi-Fi 6E They complete a technical section without news. Price and availability The 14-inch MacBook Pro with M5 chip has a starting price of 1,829 euros in Spain (1,699 euros with discount for education). The equipment is available in space black and silver. The base configuration includes 16 GB of unified memory and 512 GB of storage. Reservations are open from today October 15th through Apple website and the Apple Store app. Customers are expected to start receiving it starting Wednesday, October 22. As for the rest of the models, Apple has confirmed that the M5 Pro and M5 Max they will come laterfollowing the staggered release pattern of previous generations.

Apple has just announced the launch of the new Vision Pro (2025)and in them there is an absolute protagonist. Now these mixed reality glasses are based on the powerful Apple M5 chip, which also debuts in the new 14-inch MacBook Pro and iPad Pro. There is also another interesting surprise: the inclusion of a new headband called Dual Knit Band that will theoretically allow users to enjoy “an even more comfortable fit” for these glasses, Apple says. Technical sheet of the Apple Vision Pro (2025) Apple vision pro (2025) weight 600-650 grams (depending on band and fit pad) The battery weighs an additional 353 grams Screens 2 panels x 11.5 million pixels, micro-OLED Resolution per panel: 3,660 x 3,200 pixels 3D display system, 7.5 micron pixels 92% DCI-P3 Refresh rates of 90, 96, 100 and 120 Hz CHIP 10-core M5 chip (4 performance, 6 efficiency) 10 core GPU 16-core Neural Engine Unified memory bandwidth: 153 GB/s R1 chip with 256 GB/s bandwidth 12 ms photonic latency Cameras Stereoscopic 3D camera system Space photo and video 18mm, f/2.0 aperture 6.5 megapixel stereo Sensors 4 eye tracking cameras 2 high resolution trail cameras 6 front tracking cameras TrueDepth Camera LiDAR Scanner Ambient light sensor flicker sensor Four inertial measurement units (IMU) Biometrics Optical ID sound Spatial audio with dynamic head tracking Audio ray tracing Six-microphone array with directional beamforming Ultra-low latency H2 to H2 connection with 2nd gen AirPods Pro. (with USB-C case) Battery Up to two and a half hours of general use according to Apple Up to three hours of video viewing according to Apple Does not support hot swapping Allows it to be used connected to the power supply (30W USB-C adapter) storage 256/512GB/1TB Connectivity Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) Bluetooth 5.3 Operating system visionOS 26 price From 3,499 dollars plus taxes (3,699 euros) Extra power and autonomy that gains (some) integers The new Vision Pro (2025) maintain the same design and almost all the specifications as the first generation of this device that was presented in February 2024, but there is an important change: M5 chip integrationwhich replaces the M2 that the original models included. This has implications in two sections: Refreshment Rate: The screen now supports refresh rates of up to 120 Hz. In the previous model the maximum was 100 Hz Battery: The greater efficiency of the M5 chips allows the new Vision Pro (2025) to win in terms of autonomy. Thus, we went from two hours of general use to two and a half hours, and from two and a half hours of video viewing to three hours with the new device. According to Apple, the M5 is capable of rendering 10% more pixels on the micro-OLED screens of the Vision Pro, and this SoC is also useful so that we can enjoy some advanced options in which AI is used. For example, when generating “People” – the virtual representation used in videoconferences with these glasses – or when converting 2D photos into spatial photos, a process that thanks to the Apple M5 we can do 50% faster. The other great novelty of the glasses is not in the glasses, but in their fundamental accessory: the support band. Apple now offers the call Dual Knit Banda kind of mix between the Dual Loop Band and the Solo Knit from the previous generation of the device. Of course: it is an optional support that we can purchase for $99 and that is compatible with the original Vision Pro. A strange renovation The renewal with the M5, which had been rumored for months, is undoubtedly a confirmation that Apple continues to trust in this product for the future. The problem is not so much its hardware, which was already spectacular a year and a half ago, but rather the fact that there is barely any content with which to take advantage of it. Until Apple solves that problem – if it ever solves it – the Vision Pro will continue to be a product aimed at enthusiasts both due to price – it is still expensive – and because of the catalog of exclusive applications and content with which to take advantage of it. We could already see what we could aspire to with content specifically designed with the Vision Pro. Sporting events, concerts and immersive experiences take on an absolutely extraordinary level with these glasses, but Apple has barely updated this offer, and that is what could really trigger its use. Variants and prices of the Apple Vision Pro (2025) The new Vision Pro (2025) with M5 chip can now be reserved and will be available next October 22 in stores in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, UAE, UK and US. The price in the United States will start at $3,499 plus taxes, while in European countries such as France or Germany its price will start at 3,699 euros. Spain at the moment still has no availability of these devices. More information | Apple
