Toyota C-HR BEV Coming to Kalamunda Toyota | Perth Hills

Toyota has confirmed the next generation of the C-HR will be offered as a battery electric vehicle (BEV), with Australian availability expected in mid-2027. For drivers in the Perth Hills, it represents one of the most capable and well-designed electric small SUVs to come from a mainstream manufacturer. This article covers what has been confirmed about the Toyota C-HR BEV, including its powertrain, range, technology, and how it fits into Toyota's growing electric vehicle line-up in Australia.

The C-HR BEV is powered by a 74.7kWh lithium-ion battery driving a front-mounted 165kW electric motor that produces 269Nm of torque.

Key figures include:

• Claimed driving range: Over 500km on a single charge (WLTP test conditions - real-world range will vary depending on driving style, speed, temperature, and terrain)
• DC fast charging: 10 to 80 per cent in approximately 30 minutes [Verify footnote conditions before publishing]
• AC charging: Up to 22kW, suitable for overnight home charging

The C-HR BEV is well suited to drivers who do most of their kilometres in suburban and urban conditions, where charging infrastructure is available at home or at work. Its claimed range of over 500km [WLTP, conditions vary] provides a useful buffer for longer runs, though Hills and regional drivers who regularly travel to areas without charging access may want to consider whether a hybrid or plug-in hybrid suits their routes better.

The electric motor's near-silent operation and torque delivery make it well matched to the Hills' winding roads, where smooth, progressive power is a genuine advantage. Kalamunda Toyota is the only car dealership in the Perth Hills, and the team here are already helping customers understand the full range of Toyota's electric and electrified options.
