REVIVED! TOYOTA'S 2026 C-HR IS BACK IN AMERICA AND IT'S FASTER THAN GR COROLLA

EV Channels Review

The 2026 Toyota C-HR makes a strong return to the US market as a stylish, all-electric crossover. The reviewer highlights its significantly improved aesthetics over the BZ4X, praising its coupe-like profile and modern interior featuring a 14-inch touchscreen and customizable ambient lighting. Standard all-wheel drive across both SE and XSE trims provides 338 horsepower, enabling a 0-60 mph time under five seconds, comparable to the GR Corolla. While the battery capacity (74.7 kWh) is slightly smaller than the European version, it achieves an EPA-estimated 290 miles of range, narrowly beating the AWD BZ4X. Cargo space is comparable to the BZ4X, though the C-HR's sloping roofline might impact practicality for some. Key features include DC fast charging with NACS, battery pre-conditioning, and adjustable regen braking via steering wheel paddles, a first for a Toyota EV in the US. The reviewer is enthusiastic about its arrival, deeming it a more attractive and polished electric vehicle offering from Toyota.
