The 2026 Toyota C-HR electric SUV is expected to be a more affordable option for those looking for an eco-friendly vehicle, but its price has been revealed to be higher than initially anticipated. With a starting price of $37,000, it's positioned below the bZ (formerly bZ4X) but comes with standard all-wheel drive, which contributes to its increased cost compared to the base model of the bZ.
Despite this, Toyota offers an electric SUV option around that price point, and the C-HR is based on the same platform as the bZ. 7 inches shorter than the bZ.
In terms of range, the C-HR offers up to 290 miles, while the bZ XLE FWD Plus model can travel up to 314 miles. The bZ also features a modern interior and exterior design, as well as a built-in NACS port for charging at Tesla Superchargers.
Toyota is now offering clearance deals on the bZ, which may make it more attractive to some buyers. With its updated interior and latest Multimedia infotainment system, the C-HR is sure to be a popular choice among those looking for an eco-friendly vehicle.
However, with a higher price point than initially expected, it's essential to weigh the pros and cons before making a decision.
