2026 Toyota C-HR: Trims, Range & All-Electric Specs

The Toyota C-HR returns for 2026 as a fully electric crossover, a complete departure from the gas-powered original. It pairs bold, coupe-like styling with zero-emissions driving, standard all-wheel drive, and genuinely quick acceleration. The 2026 C-HR is on sale now at North Hollywood Toyota.

Whether you're moving into your first battery-electric vehicle (BEV) or adding an EV to the driveway, our team can walk you through range, charging, and the two available trims so you can decide with confidence.

The U.S. 2026 C-HR is a pure battery-electric vehicle. There's no gasoline engine, and it doesn't operate as a conventional hybrid. Power comes entirely from a lithium-ion battery pack and electric motors, for a clean, quiet, and highly responsive drive. A dual-motor setup is standard across the lineup, providing electronic all-wheel drive for confident traction in changing conditions.

The 74.7-kWh battery and dual motors combine for 338 horsepower, and Toyota estimates a 0–60 mph time of 4.9 seconds — a dramatic change from the leisurely acceleration of the first-generation gas model.

The C-HR is offered in two well-equipped trims, the SE and the XSE. Both share the identical dual-motor AWD powertrain and 74.7-kWh battery, so every C-HR delivers the same 338 horsepower and standard all-wheel drive. The SE rides on 18-inch wheels, while the XSE steps up to 20-inch wheels and adds upgraded upholstery, additional exterior styling accents, and extra convenience features. Both trims are available to configure and view in our 2026 C-HR inventory.

2026 C-HR SE vs. XSE at a Glance

Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 and the standard NACS charge port are included on both trims.

TSRP on new inventory covers manufacturer/distributor equipment and logistics fees, all of which are subject to revision. It does not account for taxes, registration, dealer-installed additions, or other local charges. TSRP is not a retail advertisement; actual dealer pricing will vary. The dealer sets the final price.

Every C-HR centers on a 14-inch touchscreen running Toyota's Audio Multimedia system, paired with a 7-inch digital gauge cluster set high on the dash. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, along with dual wireless charging pads, multiple USB ports, and cloud-based navigation. Comfort features standard on both trims include heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, dual-zone automatic climate control, customizable ambient lighting, and a power liftgate. The XSE layers in upgraded upholstery with synthetic suede, a power-adjustable front passenger seat, and driver-seat memory.

For a subcompact, the C-HR is practical. It offers up to 25.3 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats, expanding to up to 59.5 cubic feet with the 60/40 split rear seatbacks folded flat. It seats up to five and measures 177.9 inches long on a 108.3-inch wheelbase.

Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 comes standard on every 2026 C-HR. The suite includes a Pre-Collision System with pedestrian and cyclist detection, full-speed adaptive cruise control, lane departure alert with steering assist, lane-tracing (centering) assist, road sign assist, and automatic high beams. A blind spot monitor, rear cross-traffic alert, and front and rear parking assist with automatic braking are also standard.

The XSE adds lane change assist, traffic jam assist, and a surround-view camera system.

Range differs slightly by trim, because wheel size affects efficiency. The SE returns an EPA-estimated 287 miles of range and an EPA-estimated 117 MPGe combined. The XSE, with its larger 20-inch wheels, carries an EPA-estimated 273 miles of range and an EPA-estimated 112 MPGe combined. Either way, that's enough for a full week of local commuting, errands, and weekend trips without plugging in every night.

EPA-Estimated Range & Efficiency by Trim

For charging, every C-HR includes a standard North American Charging System (NACS) port with DC fast-charging, plus an 11-kW onboard AC charger. On a public DC fast charger, the battery goes from 10% to 80% in about 30 minutes, with peak charging around 150 kW. On a 240-volt Level 2 home setup, a complete 10% to 100% charge takes roughly 7 to 8 hours, so you can plug in overnight and wake up to a full battery. A battery preconditioning function warms the pack for faster DC charging in colder weather, and steering-wheel paddle shifters let you dial regenerative braking through four levels.

Because the NACS port is standard, the C-HR can plug into Tesla Supercharger stations as well as thousands of other DC fast chargers and Level 2 stations nationwide. Plug & Charge support handles authentication automatically at participating networks, and a dual-voltage 120V/240V charging cable is included for charging at home and on the road.

EPA-estimated fuel economy figures are for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary depending on driving conditions, how you drive and maintain your vehicle, battery age/condition, and other factors.

Every 2026 C-HR is backed by Toyota's standard new-vehicle warranty: 36 months/36,000 miles of basic coverage and 60 months/60,000 miles on the powertrain. Because it's electric, the C-HR's Electric Vehicle Driving Components — including the traction battery — are covered for 8 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first.

Every C-HR also includes ToyotaCare, which covers factory-scheduled maintenance for 2 years or 25,000 miles, plus 3 years of roadside assistance. Connected-services trials add convenience: a 3-year Remote Connect trial lets you check charging status, start or stop charging, precondition the cabin, and set charging schedules from the Toyota app, while Service Connect delivers vehicle health reports and maintenance reminders.

No. The hybrid and plug-in hybrid C-HR models sold in other regions aren't offered in North America. The U.S. C-HR is battery-electric only.

With standard all-wheel drive, 338 horsepower, and a 4.9-second 0–60 mph time, the 2026 C-HR is built for drivers who want an EV that's genuinely quick and sure-footed, not just efficient. Its 273-to-287-mile range and compact footprint suit daily commuting, errands, and weekend trips, while standard NACS fast-charging keeps longer drives manageable. For first-time EV shoppers who want Toyota reliability alongside real performance and all-weather traction, the C-HR makes an easy case.

Is the 2026 Toyota C-HR eligible for the federal EV tax credit?

No. The federal clean vehicle tax credits under IRC §30D ended for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025. New C-HR purchases today don't qualify for that federal credit, though state or local EV incentives may still apply depending on where you live.

Does the 2026 Toyota C-HR come with all-wheel drive?

Yes — all-wheel drive is standard. Every C-HR uses a dual-motor electric setup that sends power to all four wheels for confident grip in a range of conditions.

How long does it take to charge the battery at home?

On a 240-volt Level 2 charger, the onboard charger takes the battery from 10% to 100% in approximately 7 to 8 hours, which makes overnight charging simple.

What is the passenger and cargo capacity of this crossover?

The C-HR seats up to five, and the rear seats fold flat to open up additional cargo room for luggage, groceries, or gear.
