Description:

The Toyota C-HR returns as a fully electric compact crossover, replacing the previous gasoline-powered model with a new battery-electric platform and standard dual-motor all-wheel drive. The Toyota C-HR targets urban drivers seeking strong performance, modern technology, and practical daily usability rather than maximum interior space or long-distance touring.

Range and Battery of the Toyota C-HR:

  • Equipped with a 77 kWh lithium-ion battery featuring liquid cooling, battery preconditioning, and a heat pump system.
  • EPA-estimated range reaches 496 km (SE) or 452 km (XSE with 20-inch wheels).
  • DC fast charging accepts up to 150 kW, charging from 10% to 80% in about 30 minutes.
  • The 11 kW AC onboard charger completes a full charge in roughly 7 hours.
  • Cold weather can noticeably reduce driving range despite the advanced thermal management system.

Powertrain and Performance of the Toyota C-HR:

  • Dual electric motors produce 252 kW (338 hp) and 438 Nm of torque through a single-speed transmission with standard all-wheel drive.
  • Toyota estimates 0–100 km/h in approximately 5.2-7 seconds, making it significantly quicker than the previous generation.
  • Built on Toyota’s e-TNGA electric platform, shared with the Toyota bZ, using updated thermal management for the battery, motors, and power electronics.
  • Independent suspension, low battery placement, and available 20-inch wheels contribute to stable handling while maintaining a comfortable ride.
  • Regenerative braking works with an electronically controlled brake system that blends motor regeneration and hydraulic braking.

Technology and Features of the Toyota C-HR:

  • Standard 14-inch infotainment display supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
  • Standard dual wireless phone chargers, USB-C ports, and OTA-capable multimedia software improve daily usability.
  • Available 360-degree camera, JBL premium audio, digital key, and panoramic glass roof.
  • Heated front seats, heated steering wheel, and available heated rear outboard seats enhance comfort.
  • Toyota Safety Sense driver-assistance technologies, power liftgate, and NACS charging port are standard across the lineup.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Toyota C-HR covered here is a fully electric compact crossover rather than a conventional Toyota C-HR hybrid. It uses a 77 kWh battery and is offered in front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations. Reviewers describe the electric Toyota C-HR as a substantially different vehicle from the previous gasoline-powered model, despite retaining the same name.
The Toyota C-HR Canada lineup includes the SE FWD, XSE AWD and XSE Premium AWD. The Toyota C-HR SE FWD starts at CAD 44,900, the Toyota C-HR XSE AWD costs CAD 49,950, and the Toyota C-HR XSE Premium AWD is priced at CAD 54,400.
The Toyota C-HR SE FWD has the longest estimated range at 496 km. The Toyota C-HR XSE AWD is rated for 452 km, while the Toyota C-HR XSE Premium AWD offers 438 km. The difference is partly related to drivetrain configuration, equipment and larger wheels on the upper trims. Reviewers noted that heating, speed and cold temperatures can reduce the displayed Toyota C-HR driving range.
The Toyota C-HR SE FWD produces 221 kW and 268 Nm of torque. The Toyota C-HR XSE AWD produces 252 kW and 438 Nm, while the provided specification table lists the Toyota C-HR XSE Premium AWD at 118 kW and 380 Nm. Reviewers found the higher-output Toyota C-HR responsive, with immediate electric-motor acceleration and strong passing performance.
The Toyota C-HR SE FWD accelerates from 0–100 km/h in 7.3 seconds and has a top speed of 160 km/h. Both the Toyota C-HR XSE AWD and Toyota C-HR XSE Premium AWD complete 0–100 km/h in 5.2 seconds and reach 180 km/h. Reviewers considered the AWD Toyota C-HR quick for a compact electric crossover.
The Toyota C-HR requires approximately 30 minutes for a Level 3 DC fast-charge session, typically measured from 10% to 80%. A full Toyota C-HR Level 2 home charge takes around seven hours. The charging system supports up to 150 kW DC and an 11 kW onboard AC charger, which reviewers considered adequate but not class-leading.
The Toyota C-HR has responsive steering, controlled body movement and a low centre of gravity created by the floor-mounted battery. Reviewers found the Toyota C-HR stable through corners and generally comfortable for everyday driving. Models with smaller 18-inch wheels provide a softer ride, while Toyota C-HR versions with 20-inch wheels can feel firmer over rough surfaces.
The Toyota C-HR provides comfortable front seats, but rear-seat space depends on passenger height and expectations. Some reviewers found room for four tall adults acceptable, while others considered Toyota C-HR rear headroom and legroom limited by the sloping roof and compact dimensions. Rear passengers receive reclining seatbacks, air vents and USB-C ports, with heated rear seats available on selected Toyota C-HR trims.
The Toyota C-HR offers approximately 420 litres of luggage capacity in the configuration reviewed. Its adjustable underfloor sections add flexibility, and folding the rear seats increases the available load length to approximately 1.6 metres. However, the Toyota C-HR coupe-style roof reduces vertical cargo room, and there is no front trunk for storing charging cables.
The Toyota C-HR includes a 14-inch infotainment display with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, built-in navigation, USB-C ports and available dual wireless phone chargers. Depending on trim, the Toyota C-HR may also include a panoramic-view camera, digital key, JBL audio system, driver-seat memory, heated rear seats and a fixed panoramic glass roof. Reviewers liked the comfortable seats and physical controls but noted that the Toyota C-HR lacks a glovebox and that the steering wheel can partially obstruct the instrument display.

Pros & Cons

Pros:

The Toyota C-HR XSE AWD produces up to 252 kW and 438 Nm, accelerating from 0–100 km/h in 5.2 seconds. Reviewers consistently found its immediate acceleration strong and considerably more energetic than the previous gasoline Toyota C-HR.
The Toyota C-HR SE FWD offers up to 496 km of estimated range, while the XSE AWD and XSE Premium AWD provide 452 km and 438 km. The smaller wheels and front-wheel-drive layout make the SE the better Toyota C-HR for range-focused buyers.
The Toyota C-HR combines accurate steering, a low battery-mounted centre of gravity and predictable cornering behaviour. Reviewers found the suspension reasonably comfortable for daily driving, particularly with the SE model’s smaller wheels.
The Toyota C-HR received repeated praise for its paint finish, structural feel, underbody construction and quality of electrical, cooling and suspension components. Cabin panels also remained largely free of squeaks and rattles during early test drives.
Every Toyota C-HR includes a large 14-inch infotainment display, wireless smartphone integration, dual wireless charging pads and numerous physical steering-wheel controls. Higher trims add a digital key, panoramic-view monitor and JBL audio system.
The Toyota C-HR supports 150 kW DC charging, completing a 10–80% session in approximately 30 minutes. Its 11 kW onboard charger requires about seven hours for a Level 2 charge, while the NACS port provides access to compatible Tesla Superchargers.
The Toyota C-HR retains a coupe-style profile while adding modern LED lighting, concealed rear door handles and Toyota’s hammerhead front design. Reviewers generally considered it more distinctive and visually cohesive than many conventionally styled compact electric SUVs.

Cons:

The Toyota C-HR has only about 818 mm of second-row legroom, while its sloping roof reduces rear headroom. Taller passengers may find the back seat cramped, making the Toyota C-HR less suitable for families that regularly carry adults.
Although the Toyota C-HR reaches 80% in around 30 minutes, its 150 kW peak rate is no longer class-leading. Faster-charging electric vehicles may be more convenient for buyers who frequently travel long distances.
The Toyota C-HR coupe roofline limits vertical luggage space, and there is no front trunk. The cargo-floor arrangement and lack of convenient rear-seat release levers were also criticized by reviewers.
The Toyota C-HR steering wheel can partially obstruct the 7-inch instrument display unless positioned unusually low. Multiple reviewers identified this instrument placement as an ergonomic weakness rather than a problem limited to one driver.
The Toyota C-HR lacks a conventional glovebox, ventilated front seats and a rear window wiper. Models with 20-inch wheels can also feel firmer or choppier over broken pavement than the Toyota C-HR SE with smaller wheels.
