2027 Toyota C-HR Overview: Electric Return, Specs & Dallas Availability

The 2027 Toyota C-HR returns for its second year as a battery-electric compact SUV, and Toyota has left a good formula alone. Standard all-wheel drive, 338 net combined system horsepower, a manufacturer-estimated 4.9-second 0-60 mph time and an EPA-estimated 287-mile range rating‡ on the SE grade all carry over unchanged. Two grades make up the lineup: SE and XSE. Both share the same 74.7-kWh battery and the same dual-motor powertrain, so the choice comes down to wheels, trim materials and driver-assist hardware rather than performance.

Here is what the C-HR brings to the Dallas market, grade by grade, and what to expect as 2027 units reach Legacy Toyota of Dallas.

What’s New for the 2027 Toyota C-HR?

Very little, and that is the point. Toyota states the 2027 model remains unchanged from the previous model year — the year the C-HR nameplate returned to the U.S. in battery-electric form after leaving the lineup as a gas crossover. The two-grade SE and XSE structure, the 74.7-kWh battery, the NACS charging port and the 338-horsepower dual-motor output all continue into the second model year.

Toyota developed the C-HR from a compact battery-electric concept first shown in 2022. It sits alongside the bZ and bZ Woodland as one of three battery-electric Toyotas, part of what Toyota calls its multi-pathway approach to electrification. If you are weighing a full EV against a hybrid or plug-in hybrid, our guide to how Toyota hybrids, plug-in hybrids and EVs differ is a useful starting point, and the 2026 Toyota bZ range and charging breakdown covers the C-HR’s larger sibling.

2027 Toyota C-HR Range, Efficiency and Charging

Range is where most EV shoppers start, and the C-HR holds up for a compact crossover carrying this much power. The SE earns an EPA-estimated 287-mile range rating‡ on its 18-inch wheels and an EPA-estimated 117 combined MPGe‡. The XSE comes in at an EPA-estimated 273-mile range rating‡ and an EPA-estimated 112 combined MPGe‡ on its 20-inch wheels. Both grades use the same 74.7-kWh lithium-ion battery, so the 14-mile gap is a function of wheel size, not capacity.

‡ EPA-estimated fuel economy figures are for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary depending on driving conditions, how you drive and maintain your vehicle, battery age/condition, and other factors.

Charging the C-HR at Home and Around Dallas

The NACS port means direct access to the Tesla Supercharger network without an adapter. Under ideal conditions the battery recharges from 10 percent to 80 percent in around 30 minutes on a DC fast charger. Battery preconditioning brings the pack to its optimal temperature before a fast-charge session. Switch it on manually, or let it trigger automatically when you set a fast-charging station as your navigation destination. Automatic activation needs an active Drive Connect trial or subscription. Plug & Charge streamlines payment at supported networks.

At home, the 11-kW onboard AC charger and the standard dual-voltage cable handle both a 120-volt household outlet and a 240-volt Level 2 circuit. A full Level 2 charge runs roughly 7.5 hours. For most Dallas-area drivers that means plugging in overnight and forgetting about it: an EPA-estimated 287-mile range rating‡ covers a week of commuting between Dallas, Duncanville, Desoto and South Dallas before a public charger enters the picture.

Performance, Dimensions and Cargo Space

Both grades run the same hardware: electric motors in the front and rear eAxles producing 338 net combined system horsepower, with 198 lb-ft of torque at the front motor and 125 lb-ft at the rear. Drive reaches all four wheels as standard through a single-speed automatic, and Toyota estimates 0-60 mph in 4.9 seconds.

The C-HR sits on Toyota’s dedicated e-TNGA battery-electric platform, with the pack mounted under the floor for a low center of gravity and cross-framing for rigidity. Spring rates, damper tuning and anti-roll bar stiffness were all tuned specifically for this vehicle. Independent reviewers describe the result as comfortable and composed rather than razor-sharp. Edmunds found the C-HR feels spry on winding roads, and singled out ride quality as its strongest trait even on the 20-inch wheels.

2027 Toyota C-HR Specifications

The practical takeaway: a footprint that parks like a compact, and a cargo hold that nearly doubles with the 60/40 rear seats folded. The 44-pound curb weight difference between grades comes entirely from the XSE’s added equipment.

Interior, Technology and Comfort

Multimedia and Connectivity

Every C-HR gets a 14-inch touchscreen running Toyota Audio Multimedia, developed by the Toyota Connected team in Texas. A top-mounted 7-inch customizable LCD display shows speed, charge level, power output, drive mode and charging information. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard on both grades. Audio comes from a six-speaker system, and XSE buyers can add a JBL premium system with nine speakers including a subwoofer, plus an amplifier.

Both grades are Toyota Digital Key capable, so a smartphone can stand in for the physical key, and the Toyota app handles charge status, starting and stopping charging, locating nearby stations and remote vehicle functions. Toyota includes five-year trials for Safety Connect, Service Connect and Remote Connect, plus a 30-day/3 GB Wi-Fi Connect trial. Drive Connect is available depending on grade.

Power Where You Need It

Two front wireless Qi chargers with enhanced power output. Four USB Type-C ports split
between the front and rear seats. And a 1500W AC outlet in the rear cargo area —
genuinely useful for tools, camp gear or a laptop on a long day.

Standard Heated Comfort

Heated front seats and a heated steering wheel are standard on both grades — not a
given at this price — alongside dual-zone climate control with rear seat vents and
customizable ambient lighting.

Seating, Trim and Colors

The SE comes with Fabric/SofTex-trimmed seating, an 8-way power driver seat and a 6-way manual passenger seat, plus a power liftgate, rain-sensing wipers and low-profile roof rails. The XSE steps up to SofTex and synthetic suede-trimmed seats, an 8-way power passenger seat and a driver memory seat. Its available fixed-glass panoramic roof with power sunshade is the most visible upgrade in the lineup.

Interior colors split by grade: the SE comes in Black SofTex and fabric mixed-media trim, while the XSE offers a choice of Boulder synthetic suede/SofTex or Black synthetic suede/SofTex. Exterior colors are Overcast, Tandoori, Cement and Midnight Black Metallic, with Wind Chill Pearl available at extra cost. XSE buyers can also pair Tandoori, Cement or Wind Chill Pearl with a Midnight Black Metallic roof, also at extra cost.

Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 on the 2027 C-HR

Toyota Safety Sense 3.0¶ is standard on both the SE and the XSE. The suite includes:

Beyond the core suite, both grades add Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert¶, Safe Exit Alert¶, Front and Rear Parking Assist with Automatic Braking¶, and the Toyota Star Safety System.

The XSE layers on two more systems: Lane Change Assist¶, and Traffic Jam Assist¶, which requires an active Drive Connect trial or subscription. Our overview of Toyota Safety Sense explains how these systems work across the lineup.

2027 Toyota C-HR SE vs XSE: Pricing and Which Grade to Choose

The 2027 C-HR SE carries a TSRP† of $38,675 and the XSE a TSRP† of $40,675. Here is what separates them.

† Total Suggested Retail Price (TSRP) for new vehicles includes manufacturer and distributor options and delivery, processing, and handling fees, which are subject to change at any time. TSRP excludes taxes, title, license, dealer-installed options, accessories, fees and charges. TSRP is not the dealer advertised price. Dealer price will vary. The dealer sets the final price.

Which Grade Should You Choose?

The SE is the stronger value for most buyers. It gives up none of the power: same 338 horsepower, same standard all-wheel drive, same 14-inch touchscreen, same heated front seats and heated steering wheel, same Toyota Safety Sense 3.0¶. Its smaller 18-inch wheels also buy back 14 miles of EPA-estimated range‡.

The XSE earns its $2,000 premium if the panoramic roof, the JBL audio upgrade, the power passenger seat and memory function, or the extra highway driver-assist hardware are things you will actually use. If they are not, the SE is the smarter buy and the longer-legged one.

Frequently Asked Questions About the 2027 Toyota C-HR

Does the 2027 Toyota C-HR support DC fast charging?

Yes. The C-HR uses a native North American Charging Standard (NACS / SAE J3400) port. Under ideal conditions it recharges from 10 percent to 80 percent in around 30 minutes on a DC fast charger, at a peak rate of 150 kW. Battery preconditioning is included to bring the pack to its optimal fast-charging temperature. At home, the 11-kW onboard AC charger completes a Level 2 charge in roughly 7.5 hours, and a standard dual-voltage charging cable supports both 120-volt and 240-volt outlets.

How much cargo space does the 2027 Toyota C-HR have?

Both the SE and XSE offer 25.3 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats. Folding the 60/40 split rear seats flat expands that to 59.5 cubic feet, which makes the C-HR more practical than its coupe-like roofline suggests.

What is the difference in range between the SE and XSE?

The SE carries an EPA-estimated 287-mile range rating‡ and the XSE an EPA-estimated 273-mile range rating‡. The 14-mile difference comes down to wheel size — the SE rides on 18-inch wheels and the XSE on 20-inch wheels. Both grades use the same 74.7-kWh battery and the same dual-motor all-wheel-drive powertrain.

‡ EPA-estimated fuel economy figures are for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary depending on driving conditions, how you drive and maintain your vehicle, battery age/condition, and other factors.

What warranty coverage does the 2027 Toyota C-HR include?

Toyota’s 36-month/36,000-mile basic new-vehicle warranty‖ covers all components other than normal wear and maintenance items. The powertrain is covered for 60 months/60,000 miles, and corrosion for 60 months with no mileage limitation. The Electric Vehicle Driving Components, including the traction battery, are covered for 8 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. The C-HR also includes ToyotaCare‖, covering normal factory-scheduled maintenance for one year or 10,000 miles, whichever comes first, plus three years of Roadside Assistance regardless of mileage.

‖ This information is provided for general educational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. Warranty coverage depends on the specific terms of your vehicle’s warranty agreement. Consult your owner’s manual or a qualified legal professional for guidance on your individual situation.

Which grade is the better value, the SE or the XSE?

The SE at a TSRP† of $38,675 is the stronger value for buyers who want maximum range and the lowest entry price. It delivers the same 338 horsepower, standard all-wheel drive and Toyota Safety Sense 3.0¶ as the XSE. The XSE at a TSRP† of $40,675 justifies the step up for buyers who want more. That means the 20-inch wheels, synthetic suede seating, the 8-way power passenger seat and driver memory seat, plus Lane Change Assist¶, Traffic Jam Assist¶ and the Panoramic View Monitor¶. It also unlocks the panoramic roof and JBL audio options.
