At Toyota’s annual Kenshiki conference in Brussels, Europe CEO Yoshihiro Nakata said: “We wanted to bring all the passion, emotion and success of the C-HR to the BEV segment, so in this space it shares the same DNA.”
Based on the e-TNGA platform also used by the bZ4X, the C-HR+ is offered with either a 57.7kWh or 77.0kWh battery. Its WLTP range of up to 373 miles makes it one of the longest-range cars in the segment. An 11kW on-board charger is standard and high-spec models get a 22kW unit. DC fast charging peaks at 150kW.
The C-HR+ can be had with front-wheel drive or, exclusively with the 77kWh pack, all-wheel drive. Power levels begin at 165bhp, rise to 221bhp and top out at 338bhp in dual-motor, all-wheel-drive form. This beats the standard 3.0-litre six-pot GR Supra by 3bhp.
For power output, the EV is beaten only by the 429bhp GR Supra Final Edition as the most potent Toyota to date, although that sports coupé is sold in very limited numbers and not in the UK.
