A Closer Look at the 2027 Toyota C-HR: Design, Technology, and Performance
September 28 2026,
The C-HR name has returned to Canada, but in a very different form. The 2027 Toyota C-HR is now a fully battery electric SUV, featuring a 77-kWh battery, seating for five and two distinct power configurations. Toyota designed its EV powertrain with Canadian weather and winters in mind, making this far more than a familiar name on a new design.
77 kWh Changes the C-HR Story
At the heart of the 2027 Toyota C-HR is a 77-kWh battery in both available models. There is no gas engine quietly waiting in the background here. This is a dedicated battery electric vehicle built for drivers ready to make everyday travel fully electric. Toyota also highlights fast charging capability, an important detail when your plans extend beyond charging at home overnight.
221 HP Keeps the SE Interesting
The 2027 Toyota C-HR SE FWD produces 221 horsepower. Front-wheel drive gives the SE its own straightforward configuration while retaining the same 77-kWh battery capacity as the more powerful AWD model. For drivers whose routine revolves around commuting, city travel and weekend errands, it packages Toyota's new electric C-HR experience without automatically pushing into the highest-output setup.
338 HP Gives AWD Some Bite
Things get considerably punchier with the 2027 Toyota C-HR XSE AWD. Output climbs to 338 horsepower while the battery remains at 77 kWh. The big difference is AWD capability paired with that substantial increase in power. That makes the XSE AWD more than a simple equipment upgrade. It gives the Toyota C-HR a noticeably different performance and all-weather capability profile.
Five Seats Keep Life Simple
Both versions of the 2027 Toyota C-HR offer seating for five, keeping the cabin focused on everyday passenger comfort rather than squeezing in a third row. Toyota also specifically highlights the vehicle's cargo space as part of its practical SUV package. That combination makes sense for drivers who want an EV that can handle passengers, groceries, work bags and weekend gear without stepping into a much larger three-row vehicle.
Tech Comes With the Electric Shift
Toyota positions the C-HR with its latest technology and safety features, bringing the connected and driver-assistance side of the vehicle up to speed with its new electric powertrain. Rather than making electrification the only headline, Toyota has built the C-HR around the broader everyday experience, including technology designed to support daily commutes and longer getaways.
