2026 Toyota C-HR EV: where style meets range

A bold crossover ready for your next adventure

The 2026 Toyota C-HR returns to Canada in a fully electric version. More assertive, more powerful, and better equipped than ever, it joins Toyota’s new generation of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) with a clear proposition: a compact SUV featuring distinctive design, solid driving range, and enhanced performance.

Starting at $44,900 MSRP, it will be offered in three trims: SE, XSE AWD, and XSE Premium AWD.

A coupe-inspired design that stands out

The 2026 C-HR stays true to its bold DNA while adopting an even more pronounced coupe-like silhouette. Its hammerhead-inspired front design, flowing lines, and wide stance give it a dynamic presence on the road.

Built on Toyota’s dedicated e-TNGA electric platform, it features balanced proportions:

  • Length: 4,520 mm
  • Width: 1,870 mm
  • Wheelbase: 2,750 mm
  • Height: 1,620 mm

The result is a spacious cabin despite its compact footprint. Cargo capacity reaches 720 litres behind the rear seats and up to 1,685 litres with the 60/40 split rear seatbacks folded flat.

A modern and technology-focused cabin

Inside, the 2026 C-HR delivers a cabin that blends technology and comfort. All trims come equipped with:

  • 14-inch touchscreen with Toyota multimedia system
  • Fully digital instrument cluster
  • Two front wireless chargers
  • Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
  • Up to four USB-C ports

Customizable ambient lighting adds a premium touch, while materials vary by trim—from fabric/SofTex to synthetic suede with SofTex trim. The XSE Premium AWD also includes a fixed panoramic roof and a 9-speaker JBL audio system with an 800-watt amplifier.

Fully electric performance

The 2026 Toyota C-HR is equipped with a 77 kWh lithium-ion battery and an 11 kW onboard AC charger.

SE (Front-Wheel Drive)
221 horsepower
Manufacturer-estimated range up to 496 km

XSE AWD (Dual-Motor All-Wheel Drive)

0–100 km/h in approximately 5.2 seconds
Manufacturer-estimated range of 452 km (18-inch wheels)

The low centre of gravity, thanks to the battery positioned under the floor, contributes to overall vehicle rigidity and stability.

Fast charging and intelligent energy management

The 2026 C-HR features a North American Charging System (NACS) port, compatible with DC fast-charging stations across the country.

Under ideal conditions, it can charge from 10% to 80% in approximately 30 minutes using a DC fast charger. It is also compatible with Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging.

  • Plug & Charge capability
  • Battery preconditioning to optimize DC fast charging

These features allow for more precise management of range and energy efficiency.
