Toyota has pulled back the covers on its latest electric SUV, the C-HR+.
Despite the name, it's not based on the hybrid C-HR, but instead shares its underpinnings with the larger bZ4X. At 4520mm long, it's larger than the Toyota Urban Cruiser and will be a rival for a wide range of cars, including the BMW iX2, the MINI Countryman and the Volvo EC40. While UK prices haven't been announced, it's likely to be cheaper to buy than those more premium rivals and closer to other volume-brand cars like the Ford Explorer, Renault Scenic E-Tech and Skoda Elroq.
The C-HR+ will come with a choice of two battery options – 57.7kWh and 73.1kWh – and three power levels from 167PS up to a not-inconsiderable 343PS. A range of up to 373 miles is promised. Toyota says the new car will be fun to drive with newly remapped steering (over the bZ4X) to enhance its responsiveness.
New 2025 Toyota C-HR+: price and release date
No firm release date for the Toyota C-HR+ has yet been announced, but it'll be here towards the tail-end of 2025. Nor are there any UK specs or prices yet, but we'd expect the range to start below £40,000 to be competitive against its rivals.
New 2025 Toyota C-HR+: exterior and interior
The new Toyota C-HR+ has a coupe-SUV look with a sleek sillhouette and sloping roofline that favours a sharp profile over boot space. That said, 416 litres of boot space isn't bad, although smaller than the likes of the Elroq's, even though at 4520mm, the Toyota is 40mm longer than the Skoda.
The C-HR+ takes a wide, fairly sporty stance with a new-look bumper, headlight design and grille. At the back, the full-LED rear lights stretch across the width of the car.
Inside, Toyota promises generous headroom and more interior space than most rivals. It'll be equipped with two wireless phone chargers and USB charging ports in the back, as well as rear cabin air-conditioning controls and a panoramic roof. A big 14-inch central screen will come as standard, and the navigation system will have a dedicated electric vehicle (EV) routing system that calculates routes with charging options depending on how much battery is left.
Standard features will also include a blind-spot monitor, adaptive high-beam headlights, while higher-spec models will get Park Assist and a an all-round camera system called Panoramic View Monitor.
New 2025 Toyota C-HR+: engines and gearboxes
Customers will get three choices when it comes to power for their new Toyota C-HR+. The entry-level model is front-wheel drive and has a 57.7kWh battery with a 167PS electric motor. The mid-spec model is also front-wheel drive but with 224PS and a larger 77kWh battery. The top-spec model, meanwhile, has the larger battery and 343PS from its motor, with all-wheel drive.
No performance figures have yet been released, but the top-spec model is likely to be rather brisk. A breakdown of charging information is also unknown at this stage, but Toyota says the C-HR+ will be able to reach 373 miles on a single charge, although it's not said with which model. An 11kW onboard charger is standard, an hgigher-spec models get a 22kW unit. With a suitable charger, it can refill its battery at up to 150kW.
