For 2026, the C-HR returns as a fully battery-electric crossover offered in three grades: SE (FWD), XSE AWD, and XSE Premium AWD. Built on Toyota’s e-TNGA BEV platform, the C-HR delivers improved performance, advanced connectivity, and modern design while remaining compact and city-friendly.

This update matters because it gives Canadian drivers a practical yet performance-focused electric crossover option. With front-wheel drive or available all-wheel drive, strong acceleration, and access to the North American Charging System (NACS), the C-HR is positioned as an accessible EV choice for daily commuting, urban driving, and year-round confidence.

The 2026 C-HR offers up to 338 combined system horsepower (AWD) and a manufacturer-estimated 0–100 km/h time of 5.2 seconds. Its 77-kWh battery provides a manufacturer-estimated range of up to 496 km (SE FWD), while AWD variants offer competitive range ratings depending on wheel size. Every model includes NACS charging compatibility, Plug & Charge capability, regenerative braking paddle controls, and battery preconditioning. Inside, standard features include a 14-inch Toyota Multimedia touchscreen, dual wireless chargers, digital gauge cluster, Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, and a suite of connected services. Higher grades add premium seating materials, panoramic view monitoring, advanced driver assist features, JBL audio, and a fixed panoramic moonroof.

The 2026 Toyota C-HR is ideal for drivers transitioning to electric vehicles, urban commuters seeking efficiency with style, and buyers wanting compact SUV versatility with strong performance. With front- and all-wheel drive configurations, multiple trims, and a generous cargo capacity of up to 1,685 litres with seats folded, it offers flexibility for a wide range of lifestyles.
