Toyota has just unveiled a new electric version of its popular C-HR model. The new Toyota C-HR+ will be a key part of Toyota’s electric SUV strategy in Europe, combining eye-catching design with strong performance.
A Sporty SUV Design
The Toyota C-HR+ builds on the coupe-inspired design of the existing Hybrid C-HR but with an even more aerodynamic and streamlined look. It maintains its sporty proportions without compromising on space and comfort.
The rear is sharply defined with a steep rear window and integrated spoiler, while the front features unique LED headlights and an exclusive front grille that sets it apart from other electric models in Toyota’s lineup.
The design is inspired by the Toyota bZ4X but has its own identity with a more compact and sharper profile. Toyota has worked extensively on aerodynamics, evident in the low drag coefficient and details like hidden door handles and streamlined side mirrors. The roofline is designed to maintain a coupe-like silhouette without sacrificing rear headroom.
High on comfort
The cabin of the Toyota C-HR+ is designed with comfort and functionality in mind. It has a wheelbase of 2,750 mm, ensuring good space for rear passengers. The trunk offers 416 liters of cargo capacity, and the interior features high-quality materials and a modern layout similar to that of the bZ4X.
Inside, you’ll find a large 14″ infotainment screen, two wireless smartphone chargers, and a panoramic glass roof. Additionally, the Toyota C-HR+ comes with a range of new features to enhance convenience for both driver and passengers, including a digital key that allows locking and starting the car via a smartphone and a new voice recognition system that can control various car functions through simple voice commands.
One of Toyota’s most powerful models
The Toyota C-HR+ will be available with two battery sizes:
- 57.7 kWh (available exclusively with front-wheel drive)
- 77 kWh, which can be configured with both front- and all-wheel drive
Depending on the variant, the range can reach up to 600 km (WLTP), positioning it among the top electric SUVs in its class. Toyota has developed a new battery management system that optimizes energy consumption and improves battery durability.
The vehicle also features a new battery preheating function to ensure optimal charging speed in cold weather. Charging is handled via an 11 kW onboard charger as standard, while higher trim levels get a 22 kW onboard charger for faster AC charging. Fast charging supports up to 150 kW, allowing the battery to charge from 10-80% in about 30 minutes under ideal conditions.

Toyota has focused on both efficiency and driving pleasure in developing the C-HR+. The most powerful variant with all-wheel drive delivers 343 hp, accelerating from 0-100 km/h in just 5.2 seconds. The front-wheel-drive versions produce either 167 hp with the 57.7 kWh battery or 224 hp with the 77 kWh battery.
The dedicated e-TNGA platform ensures a low center of gravity and dynamic driving characteristics, while the suspension and steering have been finely tuned for an engaging driving experience. Toyota has refined the chassis with a new suspension and damping system for better grip and stability. Additionally, the electric power steering has been optimized to provide a more precise and direct feel, making the car more dynamic and fun to drive.
Possibly coming to Scandinavia in 2026
Toyota plans to launch the C-HR+ in select European markets by the end of 2025, with a broader rollout across Europe—including Denmark—expected in 2026. The C-HR+ will be positioned between the new Urban Cruiser and the bZ4X. We also hope to see the stylish bZ3C make its European debut in the future.
