Meet the Toyota C-HR+, a stylish, all-new battery electric vehicle (BEV) that will compete in the heart of Europe’s vital mid-size C-SUV market. Scheduled for launch in the UK in late 2025, it will join the all-new Urban Cruiser and newly refreshed bZ4X to give Toyota a compelling trio of BEVs across the B-, C- and D-SUV segments. Full details will be revealed soon, but this is what we can tell you now…
Toyota C-HR+ is a model in its own right
Though inspired by the current Toyota C-HR, the Toyota C-HR+ is a standalone model and therefore rightly described as ‘all-new’. It is built on our dedicated e-TNGA modular platform for BEVs and has a unique body and interior. The front bumper, grille and headlight designs are also exclusive to the model, while the dynamic coupe-crossover silhouette associated with its namesake is maintained. The coupe-like roofline is achieved without compromising rear headroom, and the steep angle of the rear window culminates in a neatly integrated spoiler and full-LED rear combination lights.
Generous interior space
The all-new Toyota C-HR+ offers greater cabin space and more generous headroom than might be expected of a C-segment SUV. This is because the relatively long wheelbase allows almost a metre between the hip points of the front and rear occupants, while still providing 416 litres of load space. The interior itself is modern and streamlined, creating an open and welcoming feel, with high quality materials and sophisticated ambient lighting.

The equipment features acknowledge how the vehicle will be a shared space and not just about the driver. Hence the provision of two wireless smartphone chargers and rear cabin USB ports to ensure everyone on board can be connected when on the move; rear cabin air conditioning controls; and a panoramic roof that brings natural light to all parts of the interior.
Toyota C-HR+ power and performance
The Toyota C-HR+ will not be a one-size fits-all proposition. Recognising different customer needs and priorities, the model will be available with the following battery and powertrain options.
| POWERTRAIN | BATTERY | POWER |
| Front-wheel drive | 57.7kWh | 165bhp |
| Front-wheel drive | 77kWh | 221bhp |
| All-wheel drive | 77kWh | 338bhp |
Outside of the GR performance car range, the all-wheel drive Toyota C-HR+ will be the most powerful model in our European line-up. Yet thanks to optimised aerodynamics across all models, maximum driving range on the WLTP cycle will be up to 373 miles (subject to homologation), depending on equipment grade and powertrain.
An 11kW onboard charger is provided as standard, with a 22kW unit provided on higher grade models. Fast DC charging will achieve speeds of up to 150kW. Each battery pack is covered by our Battery Care Programme, which covers it for up to ten years of vehicle age, or up to 620,000 miles driven, subject to an annual battery health check. Customers will also appreciate a new battery pre-conditioning feature that will improve charging performance in most conditions. Further benefits are gained from an energy-saving heat pump for the air conditioning system and heated seats, steering wheel and windscreen.
Superior driving experience
Rewarding dynamic performance and a fun-to-drive character are key appeal points. In addition to the fundamental strength, rigidity and agility of the e-TNGA platform, the suspension components have been uniquely tuned and the electric power steering has been remapped for responsiveness. Gains have been made in stability through increased body rigidity and a lower centre of gravity than the Toyota C-HR.
Toyota C-HR+ safety and connectivity technologies
The Toyota C-HR+’s advanced looks and powertrain are matched by the latest onboard technologies. All versions benefit from an array of active safety and driver assistance systems that come within the Toyota Safety Sense umbrella.
A 14-inch multimedia display will be a standard feature of all models, forming a focal point in the front cabin design. Within it, the navigation system includes a dedicated EV routing function that calculates routes with convenient charging station options, according to the car’s state of battery charge and available driving range. The MyToyota app allows owners to monitor and manage key aspects of their vehicle, including charging status, charging time, driving range and usage data.
Details of the all-new Toyota C-HR+ were correct at the time of publishing, with all performance data remaining tentative prior to homologation. The full UK model range and grade specifications will be announced soon, ahead of its launch in late 2025.
