It adopts the C-HR name, but this new EV is built on a different platform and will come with a powerful all-wheel-drive variant.
The 2025 Toyota C-HR+ has been revealed, a new fully electric small SUV that is due to launch in Europe in late 2025.
The C-HR+ will be sold with front-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive powertrains, and up to 600 kilometres of claimed driving range.
While the Toyota C-HR+ borrows its name from the existing Toyota small SUV, this new EV is longer, wider and taller, and sits on a longer 2750mm wheelbase.
This new model also indicates a move away from Toyota’s 'bZ' naming structure for electric vehicles, commenced with the larger bZ4X.
The Toyota C-HR+ adopts Toyota's e-TNGA platform under the skin, which allows for the fitment of a range of electric powertrains.
European specifications indicate a range starting with front-wheel drive and 123kW, which is fed by a 57.7kWh battery for 455 kilometres of driving range.
A mid-range model sticks with front-wheel drive, but gets a 165kW electric motor and 77kWh battery, which gives a claimed driving range of 600km.
At the top of the range is a performance-oriented model, which has 252kW through two electric motors and all-wheel drive, and a 525km driving range from the same 77kWh battery. The claimed 0-100km/h time for this model is 5.2 seconds.
Claimed charging power for the Toyota C-HR+ is up to 150kW on DC, and either 11kW or 22kW on AC charging, depending on the variant.
There’s a large 14-inch touchscreen inside, and a full suite of advanced safety technology on offer.
In comparison, the current 2025 Toyota C-HR in Australia uses two variants of Toyota's well-known closed-loop petrol hybrid powertrain technology, and the only current fully electric Toyota in the lineup is the larger bZ4X mid-sized SUV.
While the C-HR+ is scheduled to launch in European in late 2025 – including right-hand-drive markets like the United Kingdom and Ireland – Toyota Australia has not confirmed or ruled out the C-HR+ for the Australian market.
A spokesperson for the brand told Drive: "Toyota Australia is committed to our multi-pathway approach to decarbonisation, and we are always looking for ways to expand our electrification line up, however, we have nothing to announce today."
