The electric Toyota C-HR+ with a familiar style and a range of over 600 km

Toyota has officially unveiled the all-new C-HR+, a model that marks a significant milestone in the evolution of this popular coupé SUV. Built on the dedicated eTNGA platform for electric vehicles, the new C-HR+ inherits the success of its predecessor, which has so far sold more than a million units in Europe.

Refined familiar design

Key improvements relate to body rigidity, which has been increased by 30%, while the center of gravity has been lowered by 65mm compared to the standard C-HR, ensuring agile and responsive driving characteristics without sacrificing interior spaciousness. The vehicle is now 170 mm longer with a 110 mm longer wheelbase, so it brings more space in the cabin and opens up space for a larger battery in the floor.

The design of the new model follows the recognizable silhouette, but with aerodynamic improvements. A drag coefficient of 0.262 was achieved, which is the best result in the class. This was achieved by installing active fasteners on the front fascia, hidden rear door handles and a specifically designed rear spoiler. With a wheelbase of 2,750 mm, the vehicle offers stability and optimized airflow, which directly contributes to energy efficiency and longer driving range.

Power and choice of batteries

Customers have at their disposal two options of lithium-ion batteries, developed in cooperation with the company Prime Planet Energy & Solutions. The base model comes with a 57.7 kWh battery and front-wheel drive, developing 167 hp with a range of up to 458 km according to the WLTP standard. For users who require more range, a 77 kWh battery is available, which in the front-wheel drive version offers 224 hp and a maximum range of 607 km, which is currently the longest range in Toyota’s electric vehicle range.

The top of the range is a model with all-wheel drive and a 77 kWh battery, which delivers 343 hp and enables acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.2 seconds. High performance is achieved by using the latest e-axles that integrate inverter, motor and transmission. These systems use new generation silicon carbide semiconductors, which are lighter, more compact and more efficient when operating at high temperatures and voltages.

Fast and smart charging

Special emphasis is placed on the practicality of use in all weather conditions. The Toyota C-HR+ comes standard with 150 kW DC fast charging support, while 11 kW or 22 kW chargers are available for home or public AC charging. Thanks to the advanced battery preconditioning system, which uses a heat pump, the charging time from 10% to 80% at low temperatures (down to -10°C) is shortened by 20 minutes, so it will take less than half an hour.

In addition to technical performance, Toyota emphasizes reliability as the foundation of the user experience. Along with the latest driver assistance systems, the C-HR+ comes with a ten-year battery warranty as standard. This model, along with the Urban Cruiser and bZ4X, forms part of a broader brand strategy based on providing different technological solutions to achieve carbon neutrality, adapted to the individual needs of users around the world.
