New Toyota C-HR+ Coming Soon: Specs, price and release info

Despite sharing the C-HR name, the new C-HR+ is described by Toyota as “unequivocally an individual model in its own right” and was developed from the Compact SUV concept vehicle Toyota presented in 2022. Toyota very much sees it as a core model in its battery-electric offensive on the SUV market, alongside the new battery electric bZ4X and Urban Cruiser SUVs.
Here’s everything we know so far.

Without full UK model range and specification info, it’s tricky to give anything concrete. However, we do know there will be three drivetrains to choose from with a 57.7kWh battery being exclusive to the front-wheel drive model and a higher capacity 77kWh battery available on both front- and all-wheel drive powertrains. We also know that an 11kW onboard charger is to be offered as standard, with higher trim models getting a new 22kW unit. Toyota often has a few trim levels to choose from on its cars, so it would make sense that the C-HR+ will follow suit, and the options discussed in this article will likely be split over those trims.

We’ve been given quite a bit to go one here, with Toyota confirming the longer wheelbase than the existing CH-R means generous headroom, up to 416 litres of load space, and what was described at its debut as “greater cabin space than is typically expected of a C-segment SUV”. Sitting in the vehicle on display, we found it roomy and comfortable with excellent visibility of all the people crowding around it. And we liked the big 14.4-inch infotainment screen that will be standard across the C-HR+ range.
The equipment list also looks to be generous, with wireless smartphone chargers, rear USB ports, front and rear air-con, and a panoramic sunroof taking centre stage. Safety tech will be standardised and include Toyota’s own Safety Sense system (providing early detection of hazards and automatic activation of braking, steering and power control), Blind Spot Monitor, Adaptive High-beam System headlights, Parking Support Brake, while Park Assist and a Panoramic View Monitor feature will likely appear on higher trims.

The Toyota C-HR+ will be offered with a choice of two different battery options - a 57.7kWh unit exclusive to the front-wheel drive model, and a 77kWh battery available for both front- and all-wheel drive models. An 11kW onboard charger will be offered as standard, with higher trim models getting a 22kW unit. The maximum range looks likely to be up to 373 miles (depending on trim and powertrain chosen), but this figure has not yet been confirmed. The AWD version is expected to deliver 343 PS and achieve 0-62mph in just 5.2 seconds, the FWD model with the 57.7kWh battery will offer 167 PS, and the 77kWh battery will increase that to 224 PS.

There’s little to gain from speculating here as this is a new model. It is set to launch in the UK towards the end of 2025, and no UK specifications or model range have been confirmed. Watch this space!

Aside from the new C-HR+ you’re reading about right now, Toyota announced two more new vehicles launching in 2025. These are the battery electric bZ4X and Urban Cruiser SUVs, both scheduled for launch in or around Q4 2025.

This is busy corner of the market, with buyers converging on the mid-size SUV as the perfect format for switching to electric and manufacturers responding with lots of options. Benchmarks would include the likes of the VW ID.4 and its relations from within the wider Volkswagen family of brands but there are new models launching all the time, not least from the increasingly ambitious Chinese brands entering the market. Price has often pushed Toyota electric cars into competing with more expensive brands, but we’ll have to wait and see on that front.
