It also reflects Toyota’s commitment to quality and safety, including the latest driver assistance technologies and a 10-year battery warranty**.
Power and performance
- Two battery options
- Faster DC charging supported by battery pre-conditioning
The all-new Toyota C-HR+ is a showcase for Toyota’s latest BEV technologies, establishing the fundamental qualities which express the company’s commitment to building electric vehicles for true car enthusiasts.
To meet different customer needs, whether for day-to-day life in urban traffic or longer journeys and adventures, it is offered with two battery options.
A 57.7kWh battery delivers a power output of 165bhp and has a maximum driving range of up to 283 miles*.
For customers wanting more power and greater range, a 77kWh battery provides 221bhp and delivers up to 378 miles*.
The high-capacity lithium-ion batteries use the latest technologies to give customers fast-charging options. Battery pre-conditioning contributes to a targeted fast DC charging time from 10 to 80 per cent of around 30 minutes in temperatures as low as -10°C. This would mark a 20-minute improvement on charging without a pre-conditioning function.
The pre-conditioning system ensures the battery reaches the ideal temperature before charging begins, allowing for higher charging power, even in cold conditions. This is achieved using a water-to-water heat exchanger which heats all the battery cells evenly and delivers consistent operation.
There are three options for initiating battery pre-conditioning: manually via the car’s multimedia system; scheduled in advance to start at a specific time; and automatic operation when using the car’s navigation system to reach a charging station destination.
An 11kW onboard AC charger is included as standard; high grade model uses a faster 22kW unit, which effectively halves the recharge time.
Driving dynamics
- Underfloor battery lowers the centre of gravity and enhances torsional rigidity
- Optimised suspension tuning
- Regenerative braking options for tailored driver engagement
- Insulation and noise damping for a peaceful all-electric ride
Toyota’s dedicated e-TNGA battery electric vehicle architecture provides the foundation for a fun-to-drive experience and comfort for all passengers. The modular platform – also used by the bZ4X model – delivers improved driving dynamics thanks to a BEV-specific design. It is also scalable, enabling the development of different vehicle sizes and powertrains.
The new Toyota C-HR+ exploits the adaptability of the e-TNGA platform to create a unique body and interior while delivering rewarding handling, ride comfort and stability.
An underfloor-mounted battery is a key e-TNGA design feature. By fixing it to the underfloor frame, torsional rigidity is improved by 30 per cent and the centre of gravity is lowered by 65mm compared to the Toyota C-HR. At the same time, ground clearance of 185mm is maintained.
The low centre of gravity and dedicated suspension tuning deliver a refined and comfortable ride, striking an ideal balance between agility and comfort.
Four levels of regenerative braking contribute to an intuitive and engaging drive, selected using paddle shifts behind the steering wheel. The high responsiveness of the electric motor allows coasting deceleration of up to 0.15G when the driver releases the accelerator pedal, operating with a natural feel and compensating for around 80 per cent of deceleration when driving. This feature not only enhances driver control but also maximises efficiency by replenishing the battery during deceleration.
The electric power steering has also been mapped for responsiveness. It adjusts the steering characteristics dynamically, providing a light feel at low speed and a more direct sensation at higher speeds.
Engineered for efficiency
- Aerodynamic design with low drag
- Energy-efficient low-power heat pump
- Heated front seats and steering wheel reduce air conditioning demand
The all-new Toyota C-HR+ benefits from several measures which help drivers extend the car’s range while still enjoying a comfortable and engaging drive.
The exterior design blends dynamic proportions with excellent aerodynamic performance, achieving a class-leading 0.26 drag coefficient. This contributes to efficient driving and a long range.
Within a 2,750mm wheelbase (110mm longer than the Toyota C-HR), the underfloor area has been made as flat as possible to minimise turbulence and energy loss. A variety of other measures contribute to a low drag performance on all versions.
The grille-less front face and an air duct in front of the wheels reduce turbulence and smooth air flow. Along the side of the vehicle, concealed rear door handles and aerodynamic wheel designs also support the car’s aero-efficiency.
A roof mounted spoiler and a distinctive ducktail rear end manage air flow away from the vehicle, with fins on the bottom of the rear bumper helping reduce air flow separation.
Several features reduce the impact of the air conditioning on driving range, without compromising comfort. The system uses heat pump that operates at high efficiency with low power usage. By taking thermal energy from outside air to heat the cabin, it uses less power than a standard system.
On cold days, heated front seats and a heated steering wheel – standard across all grades – help reduce reliance on the air conditioning system. They consume comparatively less power than the air conditioning system while still ensuring a comfortable temperature for driver and front passenger.
Stand-out, sleek exterior design
- Grille-less face and Toyota’s signature hammerhead design
- Distinctive coupe roofline with no compromise on rear headroom
The all-new Toyota C-HR+ has been styled to prompt an emotional reaction at first sight. It communicates agility and purpose from every angle, expressing a stylish modern look.
Its character is based on a strong, coupe-inspired silhouette. The sharply defined lines and sculpted surfaces create a sense of motion even at standstill, while the wide stance and low roofline give the car a sporty stance. The roofline is achieved without compromising headroom for rear seat passengers.
At the front, Toyota’s signature hammerhead design language is expressed through sleek LED headlamps and a clean, grille-less face, characteristic of battery electric vehicles.
Sharply defined character lines at the rear combine with a sleek light design to express an advanced image, while a low rear bumper emphasises the vehicle’s nimble handling.
The stand-out Metal Oxide and Mineral exterior colour options are available as a monotone finish or, on high grade models, a bi-tone combination with a contrasting black roof.
The 20-inch alloy wheels on higher grades are styled to emphasise sportiness and urban sophistication, ensuring the Toyota C-HR+ looks as confident in the city as it does on the open road.
An advanced and spacious interior
- “Class above” interior space with generous headroom, front-rear distance and storage
- Fully digital seven-inch driver’s combimeter and 14-inch multimedia screen
- Premium and sustainable upholsteries
Roominess and all-round visibility help the Toyota C-HR+ stand out in terms of comfort and versatility, alongside technology features, connected services and high-quality materials which create a modern in-car environment.
The cabin provides more space than typically expected of a C-segment SUV, with generous headroom and a 900mm front-rear couple distance. This has been made possible by the 2,750mm wheelbase within an overall vehicle length of 4,520mm.
The load compartment provides 416 litres of storage, achieved thanks to a rear overhang extended by 50mm (compared to the Toyota C-HR). Different boot configuration options create smart storage solutions. The rear seats – divided 60:40 – can be easily folded flat, while an adjustable deck board offers underfloor storage when set to its highest level, or maximum boot space when installed lower down. On selected grades, a power tailgate comes as standard.
A streamlined interior creates an open, welcoming feel. Ambient lighting offers a choice of 64 different colours to create the right mood for any journey. It is not only visually striking but also enhances the perception of space within the cabin, particularly when paired with an optional panoramic roof.
For the driver, a high-resolution, seven-inch full graphic combimeter replaces traditional analogue gauges and features a crisp display that adapts to driving conditions and user preferences. It shows essential driving data, including speed, battery status, range, regenerative braking level and turn-by-turn navigation prompts. Its low-profile, simplified shape is located above the steering wheel, helping the driver keep their eyes focused on the road.
On high grade models, a heated front windscreen and powered driver’s seat with memory function are included in the specification.
Rear-seat occupants have access to air conditioning controls and two USB-C ports with a combined 60W of power, enough to charge larger devices such as laptop computers.
