The Toyota C-HR Is Going Fully Electric

Toyota has confirmed that the eye-catching C-HR SUV will soon be available as a fully electric model, set to arrive in Australia in mid-2027. The new C-HR BEV will join the BEV HiLux, bZ4X and bZ4X Touring in Toyota’s growing battery-electric vehicle line-up, giving local drivers even more choice in efficient motoring.

This next-generation C-HR has been redesigned from the ground up on Toyota’s dedicated e-TNGA electric vehicle platform. The result is a compact SUV that’s sleek, quiet, and packed with advanced technology, while still offering the practicality and character that Hills drivers love.

“The all-electric C-HR will be perfect for customers looking for a stylish urban SUV with high levels of technology and serene yet engaging driving characteristics,” said Toyota Australia Vice President Sales, Marketing and Franchise Operations, Sean Hanley.

The C-HR BEV marks another important milestone in Toyota’s electrification journey. It will arrive just after the plug-in hybrid RAV4 in 2026, giving Australian drivers more ways to experience Toyota’s proven hybrid and electric technology.

The all-electric C-HR takes its bold design cues from Toyota’s Hammerhead concept, featuring sharp LED headlights, refined aerodynamics, and a sleek silhouette. The larger body and wheelbase bring more interior room and comfort, offering 416 litres of cargo space and generous head and legroom.

Inside, it feels every bit as modern as it looks:

Quiet, smooth, and efficient, the C-HR BEV is perfect for everyday Hills driving. Whether you’re running local errands, heading into the city, or planning a weekend getaway, it delivers the right mix of practicality, performance, and low running costs. Toyota’s suspension and steering tuning ensure the C-HR remains agile on winding roads, while the near-silent electric motor adds a calm, refined feel behind the wheel.
