More space, more range: Toyota brings the C-HR+ with up to 607 kilometers.

Toyota expands its SUV lineup with a purely electric variant of the C-HR. As the manufacturer states, sales of the new C-HR+ will begin in April. The starting price is expected to be €38,990 at market launch.

With the suffix “+” Toyota marks the electric version of its bestseller. In the course of the transition to battery-powered propulsion, the model shifts to a new platform and grows in dimensions. The length will be 4.52 meters in the future. This positions the vehicle between the previous C-HR at 4.36 meters and the BZ4X at 4.69 meters.

Longer wheelbase, more interior space

The wheelbase rises to 2.75 meters. According to the company, this should also allow two adults in the rear seat to sit comfortably. Toyota quotes a luggage capacity of 416 liters. The manufacturer does not provide an additional front trunk, nor a traditional glove compartment.

Two battery variants with up to 607 kilometers

The C-HR+ is offered with two battery sizes. The smaller variant has a capacity of 57.7 kilowatt-hours and, according to the manufacturer, enables an official range of 458 kilometers. The larger 77 kilowatt-hour battery is said to achieve a range of up to 607 kilometers.

Charging is via alternating current, optionally at 11 or 22 kilowatts. At the DC fast charger, a maximum of 150 kilowatts is possible. For the version with the larger battery, the manufacturer specifies a charging time of 28 minutes to go from 10 to 80 percent.
