SNEAK PEEK - TOYOTA C-HR+ - IS THIS THE ELECTRIC TOYOTA WE HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR?

EV Channels Review

The Toyota C-HR+ marks a significant step for Toyota in the electric SUV market. The reviewer praises its futuristic and rakish styling, noting it's built on a dedicated EV platform, not just an electrified C-HR. Interior design is highlighted as a major improvement over previous Toyota models, with a premium feel, a large 14-inch infotainment screen, and comfortable, supportive seats, though rear headroom might be tight for taller passengers and the rear door aperture is noted as narrow. Practicality is decent, with 416 liters of boot space, expandable with 60/40 split rear seats. The reviewer is particularly impressed with the multi-path strategy, offering hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and full electric options. For the UK market, only a front-wheel-drive, single-motor version will be available, with two battery options: a 57.7 kWh offering up to 282 miles of range and a larger 77 kWh providing up to 372 miles (on 18-inch wheels). Charging speeds are competitive at 150 kW, with an 11 kW onboard charger standard and 22 kW on the top trim. The reviewer concludes that the C-HR+ is a stylish, well-equipped, and competitive offering, a significant win for Toyota.
