The 2027 Toyota C-HR+ is the European-market version of Toyota’s compact electric coupe-crossover, and it marks a complete reinvention of the nameplate from a hybrid hatchback into a battery-electric SUV. Toyota unveiled the C-HR+ in March 2025 and began European customer deliveries in March 2026. In North America the same vehicle is sold simply as the Toyota C-HR, without the plus. This article explains what the C-HR+ is, what it offers in Europe, and how it relates to the electric C-HR sold in the United States.
What the 2027 Toyota C-HR+ Is
The C-HR+ is a battery electric compact crossover SUV in the C-segment, with a five-door coupe-SUV body. It is built on Toyota’s e-TNGA electric platform and is closely related to the bZ4X, sharing eAxle technology. A rebadged version is sold by Subaru as the Uncharted, and the platform family also includes the Lexus RZ. According to Wikipedia, production began in September 2025 and the vehicle was released in Europe in October 2025, with model years running from 2026 onward. Toyota’s European announcement describes it as a showcase for efficient driving dynamics within Toyota’s multi-pathway electrification strategy.
Battery, Range and Power
Toyota offers the C-HR+ with two battery options and a choice of front- or all-wheel drive. Under the WLTP test cycle, Toyota quotes the following figures:
- Front-wheel drive, 57.7 kWh battery: 167 DIN hp, up to 458 km (about 285 miles) of WLTP range.
- Front-wheel drive, 77 kWh battery: 224 DIN hp, up to 607 km (about 377 miles).
- All-wheel drive, 77 kWh battery: 343 DIN hp, up to 548 km (about 341 miles).
The 77 kWh front-drive version delivers the longest range in Toyota’s European BEV lineup at up to 607 km. The all-wheel-drive model produces 343 DIN hp and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in about 5.2 seconds, making it one of Toyota’s quickest vehicles outside the GR sports-car range. All-wheel-drive models use two permanent-magnet motors without an axle disconnect.
Charging and Ownership
A 150 kW DC fast charger is standard, and higher grades add an onboard 22 kW AC charger for quicker home and public charging. Toyota fits a battery cooling system as standard and includes battery heating and pre-conditioning functions to improve charging times in cold weather. The battery carries a 10-year warranty, which Toyota says guarantees it will retain at least 70 percent of its capacity.
Design, Size and Interior
The C-HR+ measures roughly 178 inches long, 73.6 inches wide and 62.8 inches tall, with a 108.3-inch wheelbase. Its coupe-SUV silhouette is designed to look athletic without sacrificing cabin space, and the car uses a stiffened eTNGA platform with dedicated suspension tuning for responsive handling. Inside, higher grades get a 14-inch Toyota Smart Connect multimedia system with wireless Apple CarPlay, a 7-inch digital instrument cluster and dual-zone automatic climate control. Safety content includes Toyota T-Mate and Toyota Safety Sense with over-the-air updates, a 360-degree Panoramic View Monitor and pre-collision systems with intersection detection.
North America: Sold Simply as the Toyota C-HR
Toyota does not use the C-HR+ name in North America, where the same vehicle is marketed as the C-HR or C-HR BEV. The U.S. version is specified differently from the European car: Toyota’s 2027 U.S. announcement says every American C-HR comes with standard all-wheel drive, 338 total system horsepower and a 74.7-kWh battery, with a manufacturer-estimated range of 287 miles on the SE grade and 273 miles on the XSE. It uses a North American Charging Standard (NACS) port capable of a 10 to 80 percent charge in around 30 minutes, and it is offered in SE and XSE grades.
The C-HR Nameplate’s History
The original Toyota C-HR debuted in 2016 as a subcompact crossover with striking, heavily sculpted styling. The first generation ran from 2016 to 2023 and was sold as a hybrid in most markets and with a 2.0-liter gasoline engine in North America. For its second act, Toyota reused the nameplate for a dedicated electric vehicle rather than continuing the hybrid line, keeping the C-HR’s distinctive design language while switching to battery power.
Price and Availability
European deliveries of the C-HR+ began in March 2026, with broader availability across Europe through 2026. In the United States, the equivalent C-HR starts at $37,080, and 2027 models were expected to arrive at dealerships beginning in September 2026. European pricing varies by market and grade.
Our take
The C-HR+ is the most convincing electric Toyota yet, largely because it looks like a car people would buy for reasons other than fuel cost. Its 607-km European range and available all-wheel drive make it genuinely usable, and the fact that North America gets the same car as the C-HR without the cumbersome “plus” branding is a rare case of Toyota’s naming discipline working. The main question is price: a $37,080 U.S. starting point puts it well above a base RAV4 Hybrid, so the C-HR has to sell on style and electric performance rather than value alone.
