What’s New for the 2027 Toyota C-HR?

The 2027 Toyota C-HR enters its second year as an all-electric compact SUV with a straightforward model-year update: the vehicle itself carries over unchanged from 2026.¹ The recently reinvented C-HR keeps its dual-motor all-wheel-drive powertrain, 338 horsepower, EPA-estimated range of up to 287 miles, NACS charging capability, and two-grade SE and XSE lineup.¹ ²

What has changed? Starting MSRP increases slightly for both grades, and the 2027 C-HR is expected to begin arriving at Toyota dealerships in September 2026.¹ For shoppers comparing the 2026 and 2027 Toyota C-HR, that makes the decision much more about the individual vehicle, pricing, availability, and timing than about waiting for a major new feature.

2027 Toyota C-HR vs. 2026 C-HR: What Stays the Same?

Most of the specifications shoppers are likely to compare carry directly into 2027.

The C-HR continues with standard electronic all-wheel drive and 338 net combined system horsepower, along with a manufacturer-estimated 4.9-second 0-to-60-mph time.¹ That gives the compact C-HR an unusually substantial amount of electric power for ordinary daily driving, from errands around North Kingstown to a weekday run along Davisville Road.

The two-grade lineup also remains simple:

• C-HR SE: 18-inch wheels and an EPA-estimated 287-mile range rating
• C-HR XSE: 20-inch wheels and an EPA-estimated 273-mile range rating²

That difference is worth knowing if driving range is high on your priority list. The SE provides the higher EPA-estimated figure, while the XSE adds equipment including 20-inch wheels, synthetic suede/SofTex®-trimmed seating, and an available fixed-glass panoramic moonroof with power sunshade.²

For a day that includes North Kingstown errands followed by a trip toward URI or Kingston, the EPA-estimated 287-mile maximum range gives shoppers a useful benchmark for comparing the C-HR with other battery-electric vehicles. Actual driving range varies with conditions and use.

2027 C-HR Range and Charging Stay the Same

The 2027 C-HR retains its 74.7-kWh lithium-ion battery and North American Charging Standard, or NACS, charge port.¹

At a compatible DC fast-charging station and under ideal conditions, the battery can charge from 10% to 80% in around 30 minutes.¹ The C-HR also has an 11-kW onboard AC charger for Level 2 charging. Toyota lists an estimated 10% to 100% Level 2 charging time of around seven hours under appropriate conditions.²

That gives drivers several ways to build charging into their routine. Someone charging at home in Lafayette, for example, may approach EV ownership differently from a driver who expects to rely more frequently on compatible public charging.

Plug & Charge capability and battery preconditioning also carry over for 2027, helping make compatible public fast-charging stops easier to incorporate into longer trips.¹ Certain connected functions require applicable Toyota Connected Services.

The Practical Features Carry Over, Too

Keeping the 2027 C-HR unchanged also means retaining the technology and everyday utility introduced for 2026.

A 14-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen remains standard, along with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility.² Heated front seats and a heated steering wheel are also standard.

Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0 continues as the C-HR’s standard suite of active safety and driver-assistance technologies.² Driver-assistance features supplement attentive driving and do not replace the driver’s responsibility for safe vehicle operation.

There is practical room behind the styling as well. The C-HR provides 25.3 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats and up to 59.5 cubic feet with the 60/40 split rear seats folded.¹ That flexibility can come in handy when the day’s plans include sports gear for Wilson Park or a larger weekend load.

Its relatively compact footprint can also appeal to drivers who want an EV that does not feel oversized for everyday errands while still offering room for a longer outing toward Goddard Memorial State Park.
