Toyota’s 2026 C-HR electric SUV is under review and receiving positive marks for build quality and performance, aiming to undercut Chinese and European rivals with early price cuts.
The 2026 C-HR comes standard with dual electric motors and all-wheel drive, producing 338 horsepower and enabling a 0-60 mph time of around 4.9 seconds. It's built on Toyota's e-TNGA EV platform, with a 74.7-kWh battery pack mounted under the floor. The EPA-estimated range is up to 287 miles for the SE trim with 18-inch wheels, while the XSE trim with 20-inch wheels offers 273 miles. It also features a North American Charging System (NACS) port for access to Tesla's Supercharger network. Under ideal conditions, it can charge from 10 to 80 percent in about 30 minutes. The C-HR's starting price is around $37,000 for the SE trim and $39,000 for the XSE. Competitors include the Volvo EX30, Acura ADX, and Subaru Uncharted. Toyota's plant in Sakarya, Turkey, will produce the C-HR, including plug-in hybrid versions and battery assembly. The plant has a new battery assembly line with a capacity of 75,000 units per year.
