The upcoming 2026 Toyota C-HR will feature a fully electric powertrain, marking a significant shift from its earlier gasoline models. This subcompact SUV aims to address previous criticisms, such as limited passenger space and a noisy ride, while enhancing its bold styling with improved performance and technology.
Equipped with a combined output of 338 horsepower from front and rear electric motors, the C-HR's all-wheel drive system promises a zero to sixty time of just 4.9 seconds. The vehicle will offer two trim levels, the SE and XSE, with driving ranges of 287 miles and 273 miles respectively. All models will come with a 74.7 kWh lithium-ion battery and support for fast charging via the Tesla Supercharger network.
The 2026 C-HR includes features such as an 11-kW AC charger for home use and regenerative braking, which can be controlled through paddle shifters. Toyota has designed the new model to deliver a more comfortable and efficient driving experience as it returns to the market after its discontinuation in 2022.
