Toyota just released the details for the 2027 C-HR. After transitioning the model to a fully electric vehicle last year, the company is bringing the compact SUV back for a second run. If you want a smaller electric car with a sporty shape and solid performance, here is what you need to know about the latest version.

Sporty Design And Electric Performance

The 2027 C-HR keeps its distinct coupe-like roofline, giving it a sleek look that stands out from more traditional, boxy SUVs. But the biggest selling point is what happens when you press the pedal. Every new C-HR comes standard with a dual-motor setup and all-wheel drive.

Those motors combine to produce 338 horsepower. That is enough energy to push the car from zero to 60 mph in just 4.9 seconds, making it surprisingly quick for its class. Power comes from a 74.7 kWh battery pack. If you go with the base SE model on 18-inch wheels, you get an estimated driving range of 287 miles. Upgrading to the XSE model gets you larger 20-inch wheels, but the range drops a bit to 273 miles.

Easy Charging And Smart Tech

One of the most practical upgrades on the C-HR is the charging port. Toyota built it with a native NACS port. This means you can pull up to a Tesla Supercharger and plug right in without carrying a bulky adapter. If you are using a public DC fast charger, you can refill the battery from 10% to 80% in about 30 minutes.

Inside the cabin, the tech feels very modern. Toyota made a massive 14-inch touchscreen standard across all trims, complete with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. You also get two wireless phone charging pads. For anyone who likes to camp or work on the go, there is a 1,500-watt power outlet in the trunk area that can easily run a laptop or small appliances.

Cargo Space And Pricing

Even with the slanted roof, the C-HR offers a good amount of utility. When you fold the back seats down flat, you open up 59.5 cubic feet of cargo space for hauling gear.

The car also comes packed with standard safety equipment. Every model includes Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, which offers features such as radar cruise control, lane departure alert, and a pre-collision system.

Pricing for the 2027 C-HR starts at $37,080 for the SE model before standard dealership fees. If you want the XSE trim, which adds things like synthetic suede seats and extra parking cameras, the price starts at $39,080. Toyota says the new models will begin arriving at dealerships this September.
