TOYOTA JUST REVEALED THE ALL-NEW 2026 C-HR+

EV Channels Review

The Toyota C-HR+ is presented as a significant step forward for Toyota's electric vehicle lineup, sharing its platform and technology with the updated bZ4X. The reviewer highlights the C-HR+'s striking exterior design, which is considered superior to the bZ4X and even the concept it was based on, featuring a premium, coupe-like silhouette. Inside, the cabin is noted for its Lexus-like premium feel, boasting a large 14-inch infotainment screen with integrated climate controls and dual wireless chargers. While cargo space is deemed adequate at 416 liters, the reviewer expresses concern about the potentially low-mounted interior vents affecting cooling. The bZ4X also receives an update, with enhancements to its styling, including a light bar (though its US availability is uncertain due to regulations), and improved interior screens, though the large bezels are still a point of criticism. Performance figures for the C-HR+ are impressive, with the dual-motor AWD version offering 338 horsepower and a 0-60 mph time in the 5-second range, paired with a larger 77 kWh battery promising an estimated 330 miles of EPA range. Charging is capped at 150 kW, but a new pre-conditioning feature aims to improve charging speed and efficiency. The reviewer is highly optimistic about the C-HR+'s potential, even preferring it over the Hyundai Ioniq 5, citing its superior aesthetics and technology, while acknowledging the Ioniq 5's charging capabilities and interior space.
