Developments: 8. In late July 2026, Toyota unveiled the C‑HR+, its second fully electric SUV built on the e‑TNGA platform. The model is offered in three power levels: a 167 hp version with a 58 kWh battery, a 224 hp version with a 77 kWh battery, and a 343 hp all-wheel-drive model. To support long-term use, Toyota introduced a “Battery Care” program, guaranteeing that capacity will not fall below 70% for ten years or one million kilometres. The vehicle features fast DC charging of up to 150 kW and a 14-inch HD touchscreen. Following the launch, Toyota reported that the broader C‑HR family has sold over 2.1 million units worldwide in its first decade, with 1.2 million sold in Europe. The model maintains an average 7.7% share of Toyota’s C-SUV sales and boasts a 74% owner approval rate. The second-generation C-HR, introduced in 2023, has been noted for attracting new customers, with 67% of 2019 buyers choosing Toyota for the first time. As of September 2026, Toyota has implemented price increases for the C-HR model in Spain to align local pricing with other European markets such as France, Italy, and Germany. These adjustments affect the 140H hybrid, 200H hybrid, and Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) configurations. To mark the model's 10th anniversary, Toyota updated the GR Sport edition, introducing an Onyx Grey matte paint finish, exclusive 20-inch wheels, and Frequency Selective Control (FSC) shock absorbers. For the 2027 model year, the GR Sport trim receives further refinements, including a black bi-tone roof and a head-up display as a standard feature. In early September 2026, Toyota announced a recall of approximately 10,000 units of its 2026 C-HR electric crossover models in North America. The recall addresses a software defect in the Battery Electric Vehicle Electronic Control Unit. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-09: Toyota recalls 10,000 C-HR EVs over potential power loss Toyota is recalling about 10,000 2026 C-HR electric crossovers in North America due to a software defect that may cause a loss of power while driving. 7 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/toyota-recalls-10000-c-hr-evs-over-potential-power-loss ### 2026-09-03: Toyota updates C-HR and Yaris Cross models Toyota is updating its C-HR and Yaris Cross models, introducing the 2027 C-HR GR Sport with matte finishes and new tech, while adjusting Yaris Cross pricing and styling to boost competitiveness. 16 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/toyota-c-hr-undergoes-price-increases-and-gr-sport-updates ### 2026-08-24: Toyota C-HR+ wins major Norwegian electric vehicle efficiency test The Toyota C-HR+ won the El Prix independent EV efficiency test in Norway, achieving 8.15 km/kWh and a real-world range of 587 km, outperforming competitors with larger batteries. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/toyota-c-hr-wins-major-norwegian-electric-vehicle-efficiency-test ### 2026-08-22: Toyota expands C-HR lineup with hybrid and electric models in Europe Toyota is driving sales in Central Europe through promotions on the C-HR hybrid in Poland and the rollout of the C-HR+ electric crossover in Slovenia, featuring improved range and charging speeds. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/toyota-expands-c-hr-lineup-with-hybrid-and-electric-models-in-europe ### 2026-08-15: Automotive updates: DFSK 600 and Toyota C-HR+ reviews New automotive updates feature the DFSK 600, a budget-friendly seven-seater SUV, and the Toyota C-HR+, an electric compact SUV offering various battery and power configurations. 7 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/automotive-updates-dfsk-600-and-toyota-c-hr-reviews ### 2026-08-12: Toyota expands C-HR lineup with new C-HR+ electric SUV Toyota is launching the C-HR+ electric SUV, with a Japanese release set for 2026 and availability in North America.
