The Toyota C-HR nameplate returns to Canada for 2026, but this time with an entirely new mission. Reintroduced as a battery electric vehicle, the compact SUV adopts a sleek, coupe-like profile and a more athletic stance, aligning style with electrified performance.
The result is a crossover designed for urban drivers who value both distinctive design and modern efficiency.
Athletic Design Meets Electric Performance
The new C-HR’s silhouette stands out immediately. A sloping roofline, sculpted body panels and wide stance give it a dynamic appearance that sets it apart from more conventional compact SUVs.
Performance varies by grade. In its SE configuration, the C-HR offers a manufacturer-estimated range of up to 496 kilometres, providing substantial flexibility for daily commuting and weekend travel. For drivers seeking added traction and stronger acceleration, the XSE grade features a dual-motor all-wheel drive system generating up to 338 combined system horsepower.
Charging convenience is enhanced through the inclusion of a North American Charging System port, giving access to an extensive DC fast-charging network. Under ideal conditions, the battery can be replenished from 10 to 80 percent in approximately 30 minutes, helping minimize downtime on longer journeys.
Refined Interior and Modern Interface
Inside, the 2026 C-HR introduces a premium environment uncommon in its segment. Soft-touch materials and carefully finished surfaces elevate the overall feel.
Customizable ambient lighting allows drivers to personalize the atmosphere to suit their mood or time of day.
Technology takes centre stage with a 14-inch touchscreen display. The system integrates the latest Toyota Multimedia platform, delivering connectivity, navigation and intuitive controls within a clean digital interface.
Despite its coupe-inspired shape, the C-HR remains practical. Cargo space measures up to 720 litres behind the rear seats. When the 60/40 split-folding rear seatbacks are lowered, capacity expands to as much as 1,685 litres, offering meaningful flexibility for larger loads.
Accessible Entry Point to Electric Mobility
With a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price starting at $44,900, the 2026 C-HR positions itself as an attainable entry into Toyota’s growing electric lineup. Combining strong range figures, available AWD performance and distinctive styling, it brings renewed relevance to a familiar name.
