2026 C-HR Electric

The all-new 2026 Toyota C-HR joins the automaker’s burgeoning battery electric vehicle (BEV) lineup. With an eye-catching, wide, athletic coupe-like profile, the model joins the revised bZ and the new bZ Woodland SUVs when it goes on sale next month. The C-HR also offers powerful electric performance, with available dual motors and electronic All Wheel Drive (AWD) for 338 combined system horsepower.

Today Toyota announces the all-new 2026 Toyota C-HR Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV), an all-new model set to be a bold entry in its electrified lineup. In Canada, the 2026 C-HR will be available in Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) with a 221 horsepower combined system output and a manufacturer-estimated all-electric range rating of up to 496 km*, or All-Wheel Drive (AWD) with an impressive 338 horsepower combined system output, a manufacturer-estimated 0-100 km/h time of around 5.2-second and a manufacturer-estimated all-electric range rating of up to 452 km*. The C-HR couples its dynamic performance with a coupe-like design, a well-appointed interior, and up to 720 Litres of rear cargo space behind the rear seats.

The 2026 C-HR BEV brings cutting-edge style and high-tech features across the board. It will be powered by a 77-kW battery, and it will be equipped with a North American Charging System (NACS) port, giving it access thousands of DC charging stations nationwide. It will also be capable of charging on Level One and Level Two AC power sources. Steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters that control regenerative braking power are also standard. When activated, four different levels of regenerative braking power can be selected to convert kinetic energy to electric energy, adding charge to the traction battery.

The 2026 C-HR will be offered in two sporty trims in Canada, SE (FWD) and XSE AWD. Key standard interior features include a 14-inch touchscreen that runs the Toyota Multimedia system, a fully digital gauge cluster, dual wireless chargers in the centre console, and the Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 system. The cabin also brings comfort, with seating choices from fabric and SofTex®-trim to synthetic suede and SofTex-trim.

On the outside, key standard equipment like a power liftgate, low-profile roof rails, and rain-sensing wipers bring functional value. There will be 18-inch and 20-inch wheel options and a variety of available exterior paint colors in single and two-tone paint options.

Developed from a compact BEV concept Toyota first presented in 2022, the new C-HR BEV is the 20^th electrified model to be added to the Toyota lineup. The model carries forward a multi-pathway powertrain approach, with a variety of models available to fit customers’ lifestyles, including BEV, Hybrid, Plug-in Hybrid, and Fuel Cell.
