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.
