Toyota C-HR+ Electric: Specs, Range & Price Revealed
Toyota has begun deliveries of its all-electric C-HR+ in Europe, marking a significant step in the automaker’s broader electrification strategy. The modern model combines a coupe-SUV design with extended range and performance capabilities, while maintaining Toyota’s reputation for quality and reliability. The C-HR+ represents a key component of Toyota’s European electric vehicle portfolio.
The C-HR+ builds upon the design language of the previous C-HR, which sold over one million units in Europe across two generations. The new iteration measures 4530 mm in length with a 2750 mm wheelbase, offering increased interior space while retaining a sporty profile.
Powertrain Options and Range
The electric vehicle is available with two battery options, catering to a range of customer needs. The 57.7 kWh battery pack is offered exclusively in a front-wheel-drive (FWD) configuration, delivering 123 kW of power and a WLTP-estimated range of up to 458 km. The larger 77 kWh battery is available in both FWD and all-wheel-drive (AWD) versions. The FWD model with the 77 kWh battery produces 165 kW and offers a WLTP range of up to 607 km, making it Toyota’s longest-range electric model to date.
The AWD variant, as well equipped with the 77 kWh battery, boasts a system output of 252 kW, achieving 0-100 km/h acceleration in just 5.2 seconds, and a combined WLTP range of up to 548 km. It also offers a towing capacity of 1500 kg, which is notable within its class.
Technology and Charging
Toyota’s latest eAxle technology enhances the efficiency of the powertrains. This compact and lightweight system utilizes new-generation SiC semiconductors to improve performance and efficiency. The battery packs incorporate a heat pump climate control system and liquid cooling to ensure optimal operation. The C-HR+ supports 150 kW DC fast charging, enabling a 10% to 80% charge in approximately 28 minutes. AC charging at up to 22 kW is also available, depending on the trim level.
The C-HR+ features a dedicated eTNGA platform, providing a low center of gravity, a rigid body, and optimized suspension for an enjoyable and stable driving experience. A four-stage regenerative braking system allows drivers to customize energy recovery, while enhanced noise insulation contributes to a quiet cabin environment. Inside, the vehicle features a 7-inch digital instrument cluster and a 14-inch central touchscreen display.

Toyota’s Broader Electrification Push
The launch of the C-HR+ comes as Toyota accelerates its transition to electric vehicles. The company is facing increasing pressure to reduce its reliance on internal combustion engine vehicles, which currently account for 74% of its sales, to avoid substantial penalties under European Union regulations. As reported by Villanyautosok.hu, Toyota aims to increase the proportion of plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and battery electric (BEV) vehicles to 50% by the complete of the year. This shift is part of a broader strategy to compete with rivals like BYD in the European market.
Toyota’s commitment to electrification extends beyond the C-HR+. The company is also investing heavily in battery technology and exploring alternative fuel sources, such as hydrogen. The C-HR+ is expected to play a crucial role in attracting customers seeking a stylish, practical, and environmentally friendly vehicle.
The C-HR+’s arrival also coincides with the expansion of Toyota’s sister brands, Omoda and Jaecoo, into the European market. These brands, along with Toyota, are aiming to capture a larger share of the growing EV market. Chery, the parent company of both Omoda and Jaecoo, regularly hosts events to showcase its latest technologies and strategies to the press and customers.
Looking ahead, Toyota will continue to expand its electric vehicle lineup and invest in charging infrastructure to support the growing demand for EVs. The success of the C-HR+ will be a key indicator of the company’s ability to navigate the evolving automotive landscape and achieve its electrification goals.
