The C-HR also offers everyday utility, including up to 59.5 cubic feet of rear storage space with the 60/40 split rear seats folded flat. Designed for daily use, its 74.7-kWh battery has a manufacturer -estimated 287-mile** range rating on the SE grade with 18-inch wheels and the XSE grade with 20-inch wheels has a manufacturer-estimated range rating of 273 miles**.

Developed from a compact BEV concept Toyota first presented in 2022, the C-HR BEV carries forward Toyota’s multi-pathway approach to electrification as one of three BEV’s that sit alongside Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid models. The 2027 model remains unchanged from the previous model year.

The 2027 C-HR grades are expected to start arriving at Toyota dealerships this September. The Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price will start at $37,080 (SE grade), excluding Dealer Processing and Handling fee, click here for more.

Expressive and Functional
The Toyota C-HR BEV is designed as an expression of the fun-to-drive, exhilarating character of electric vehicles. Like the bZ and bZ Woodland, the C-HR is built on Toyota’s dedicated e-TNGA battery electric vehicle platform. Its flowing body lines and wide stance convey a dynamic driving character. The compact coupe silhouette is formed by Toyota’s signature hammerhead front end flowing into a compact cabin and angular rear.

The C-HR’s proportions include an overall length of 177.9 inches, an overall width of 73.6 inches, a wheelbase of 108.3 inches and an overall height of 63.8 inches. This helps provide spacious accommodation with generous headroom and ample cabin space.

The interior design is clean and open, with a slim driver’s display and easy-to-access center console. Customizable ambient lighting adds a personalized touch. The cabin is designed to be comfortable, high-tech, stylish and functional.

Standard convenience features include two wireless smartphone chargers, front and rear seat USB-C ports, and dual zone climate controls with rear seat vents. A panoramic fixed glass roof with power sunshade is available on the XSE grade.

Electrifying Performance
The 2027 Toyota C-HR BEV comes standard with AWD using electric motors housed in the front and rear eAxles. It produces 338 net combined system horsepower and 198/125 lb.-ft. of torque from the front/rear electric motors. The vehicle has a manufacturer estimated 0 to 60 mph time of 4.9 seconds.

Its coupe-like lines are complemented by a low center of gravity, aided by the underfloor-mounted battery pack and cross-framing structure for vehicle rigidity. Suspension components have been tuned for the new C-HR, including spring and damper performance and anti-roll bar stiffness.

The vehicle uses a lithium-ion battery with a total capacity of 74.7 kWh and an 11-kW onboard AC charger.

Under ideal conditions, the battery can recharge from 10 percent to 80 percent in around 30 minutes*.
