The Toyota C-HR+ is a battery electric compact crossover SUV (C-segment) manufactured by Toyota. The vehicle was unveiled in March 2025. It is expected to be released in Europe in late 2025.[3][4] In North America, the vehicle is marketed simply as the Toyota C-HR.
Named after the smaller hybrid electric Toyota C-HR, the C-HR+ is a larger vehicle built on a separate e-TNGA platform shared with the bZ4X.[5]
Overview
[edit]The design of the C-HR+ was previewed by the bZ Compact SUV concept car presented in 2022 in Europe and the US.[6] With the production version, the model drops the bZ moniker in favour of an existing nameplate, the C-HR, as Toyota abandoned its bZ naming strategy for battery electric vehicles.[5]
The C-HR+ will be offered with both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations. The single-motor version, paired with a 57.7 kWh battery, produces 123 kW (165 hp; 167 PS). When equipped with the larger 77 kWh battery, output increases to 165 kW (221 hp; 224 PS). Depending on the variant and trim level, the estimated maximum driving range is up to 600 km (373 mi) based on the WLTP cycle.[7]
The dual-motor version uses the larger 77 kWh battery and delivers a combined output of 252 kW (338 hp; 343 PS). It is one of Toyota’s most powerful vehicles, excluding the Toyota GR Supra. It accelerates from 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in approximately 5.2 seconds.[5] All-wheel drive models use two permanent-magnet motors without axle disconnect.[8]
Markets
[edit]Europe
[edit]The C-HR+ is scheduled to launch in select European markets by the end of the year, with broader availability across Europe planned for 2026.[5]
North America
[edit]The North American market model is marketed simply as the C-HR, or alternatively C-HR BEV. It debuted on 14 May 2025. The C-HR models for the U.S. market are equipped exclusively with the larger 74.7 kWh (usable) battery pack and a dual-motor all-wheel drive system, producing 252 kW (338 hp; 343 PS). Under EPA standards, the model has an estimated range of 290 mi (467 km).[8]
