Electric performance, battery, and charging

The 2026 Toyota C-HR uses separate front and rear electric motors to provide standard all-wheel-drive traction. Toyota rates the system at 338 combined net horsepower, with maximum motor output of 167 kW at the front and 88 kW at the rear. Maximum torque measures 198 lb-ft from the front motor and 125 lb-ft from the rear motor. Both the SE AWD and XSE AWD have a manufacturer-estimated 4.9-second 0-to-60-mph time. The electric drivetrain also qualifies the vehicle as a Zero Emission Vehicle.

Driving range and grade configurations

EPA-estimated total driving range varies by grade and wheel configuration. The SE AWD has an EPA-estimated range rating of 287 miles with its standard 18-inch wheels. The XSE AWD has an EPA-estimated range rating of 273 miles with its 20-inch wheels. Actual mileage can vary based on outside temperature, speed, accessory use, battery condition, driving location, and other operating factors. Wheel size and grade equipment are therefore relevant considerations when reviewing the estimated range ratings of the 2026 Toyota C-HR.

The SE AWD has a curb weight of 4,322 pounds, while the XSE AWD weighs 4,366 pounds. Both grades have a gross vehicle weight rating of 5,645 pounds. The all-wheel-drive system works through the dual-motor arrangement instead of relying on a single electric propulsion unit. Separate front and rear motors deliver power through their respective outputs. Regenerative braking paddle switches on the steering wheel give the driver an additional interface for managing electric driving functions.

Battery capacity and charging hardware

A lithium-ion battery pack supplies energy to the propulsion system of the 2026 Toyota C-HR. The pack has a total capacity of 74.7 kWh and operates at 391 volts. A North American Charging Standard port comes standard on the SE AWD and XSE AWD. The system supports AC Level 1 charging at 120 volts, AC Level 2 charging at 240 volts, and DC fast charging. An 11-kW onboard AC charger manages compatible alternating-current charging.

Maximum DC charging input is 150 kW. Toyota estimates that Level 2 AC charging takes approximately 7.5 hours with an appropriate Level 2 charger. Under ideal conditions, DC fast charging can bring the battery from a 10-percent state of charge to 80 percent in approximately 30 minutes. Charging time remains subject to weather, battery condition, charging conditions, outside temperature, and other factors. Compatibility with Level 1, Level 2, and DC fast charging gives the vehicle several supported charging methods.

Disclaimer: DC charging time will vary based on weather and other factors. DC charging times will increase as temperatures decrease, with significant increases possible at temperatures below freezing. Accessory use, battery level and condition, and charger specifications may negatively affect charging times. Use for comparison purposes only. Actual range will vary significantly depending on charging and driving conditions, including outside temperature, speed, accessory use, how/where you drive, battery condition and other factors. See www.fueleconomy.gov and Owner’s Manual for details.

Chassis, steering, braking, and exterior engineering

The chassis of the 2026 Toyota C-HR supports its electric output with independent suspension components, power-assisted steering, and ventilated disc brakes. Toyota uses a MacPherson® strut-type arrangement at the front and a multi-link layout at the rear. Both suspension assemblies include stabilizer bars. The steering system provides electric assistance through a rack-and-pinion design. Grade-specific wheels distinguish the SE AWD from the XSE AWD while contributing to their different range ratings and curb weights.

Suspension and steering systems

The independent MacPherson® strut-type front suspension incorporates a stabilizer bar. At the rear, the multi-link suspension also uses a stabilizer bar. This four-wheel independent arrangement allows the front and rear suspension systems to manage wheel movement through their respective designs. Electric Power Steering provides assistance through the rack-and-pinion mechanism. The system has an overall steering ratio of 14.2:1 and requires 2.8 turns from lock to lock.

The 2026 Toyota C-HR has a 36-foot curb-to-curb turning-circle diameter. Its wheelbase measures 108.3 inches, while its overall length is 177.9 inches. The body measures 73.6 inches wide without the mirrors and 63.8 inches high with the antenna. Ground clearance measures 8 inches. These dimensions establish the vehicle’s exterior footprint and influence its passenger packaging, cargo area, and low-speed maneuverability.

Brakes, wheels, and tires

Ventilated disc brakes are installed at all four wheels. The front brake discs measure 12.9 inches in diameter, while the rear discs measure 12.5 inches. An anti-lock braking system is standard on both grades. The Star Safety System also includes Electronic Brake-force Distribution, Brake Assist, Smart Stop Technology, Enhanced Vehicle Stability Control, and Traction Control. Downhill Assist Control is standard on the SE AWD and XSE AWD.

Toyota fits all-season radial tires throughout the lineup. The SE AWD has standard 18-inch black alloy wheels with covers. The XSE AWD receives 20-inch gunmetal multi-spoke machine-finished alloy wheels. Toyota supplies a tire repair kit instead of a spare tire and wheel. A Tire Pressure Monitor System provides a direct pressure readout and identifies the affected tire when its pressure reaches a critically low level.

Lighting and functional exterior equipment

Both grades use LED projector low- and high-beam headlights with automatic on-and-off operation and Automatic High Beams. LED daytime running light accent lighting includes an on-and-off feature, while LED taillights and stop lights provide rear illumination. Exterior details include a hammerhead hood, a color-keyed center bumper, a thin lower grille, a lower rear diffuser, and blackout badging. A split-roof rear spoiler and ducktail rear spoiler are also standard. Black roof rails with black endcaps add a functional mounting-related component to the exterior.

Color-keyed outside door handles include touch-sensor locking and unlocking on all doors. A height-adjustable power liftgate with jam protection is standard on both grades. Privacy glass covers the rear side, quarter, and liftgate windows. Heated, power-adjustable exterior mirrors include turn-signal and blind-spot warning indicators, power-folding operation, and a reverse tilt-down function. The XSE AWD adds puddle lights and mirror memory, while a fixed panoramic glass roof with a power sunshade and a two-tone exterior treatment are available on that grade.
