Toyota revealed its all-electric C-HR+ SUV, a concept of which was first shown in 2022. The new EV from Toyota will launch in select European markets by late 2025 and join the larger bZ4X and the recently unveiled Urban Cruiser EV. By 2026, Toyota plans to have six EVs, at least in international markets.

Toyota C-HR+ EV battery, range and performance
57.7kWh and 77kWh battery options
Notably, the Toyota C-HR is a popular hybrid model sold overseas but the new battery electric vehicle (BEV) is technically unrelated to the former. Based on the e-TNGA platform, also underpinning the bZ4X SUV, the Toyota C-HR+ will be offered with either a 57.7kWh or 77.0kWh battery pack. The 57.7kWh battery will run the 167hp front-wheel-drive model, while the larger 77kWh battery will power 224hp front-wheel-drive and 343hp all-wheel-drive versions of the CH-R+.
Up to 600km range
The new Toyota EV is expected to have a range of up to 600km range on the WLTP cycle. An 11kW charger will be provided as standard; 22kW charger for high-spec models. The C-HR+ will also support DC fast charging speeds of up to 150kW.
Toyota C-HR+ EV design, length, wheelbase
‘Hammerhead’ front-end
The production car has retained many elements from the 2022 concept, including the ‘hammerhead’ front-end design and raked roofline. While the width-wide LED taillights were also carried over, the front no longer received the connected light treatment.
Longer than Urban Cruiser EV
At 4,520mm long, the C-HR+ will be positioned above the electric Urban Cruiser SUV. While the width and height dimensions were not disclosed, Toyota claims the electric vehicle’s 2,750mm wheelbase has resulted in greater cabin space than rivals.
Toyota C-HR+ EV features
The feature list of the C-HR+ comprises a 14-inch touchscreen, two wireless smartphone chargers, rear AC controls, ambient lights and a panoramic roof. Toyota has given the cabin lots of physical buttons and is not as radical as carmakers sometimes do with EVs.
ADAS standard safety feature
Toyota will offer its ADAS as a standard offering with the C-HR+. All variants will come with blind-spot monitoring and adaptive high-beam headlights, while park assist and panoramic view monitoring features will be exclusive to the top variants.
