2027 Toyota C-HR Real Specs: 338HP AWD, 74.7 kWh Battery, 287-Mile Range and NACS Charging Explained



The 2027 Toyota C-HR is not a hybrid with a bigger battery. It is a fully electric compact SUV built on Toyota's dedicated e-TNGA platform. Toyota USA confirmed it on August 6, 2026 and lists it as carryover for 2027 from the 2026 debut.

This is the second year for the C-HR BEV in the U.S. after its return as an EV in early 2026. First 2027 units arrive at dealerships in September 2026.

Official Powertrain and Battery

Every 2027 C-HR comes standard with dual-motor electronic all-wheel drive. There is no front-wheel-drive version in the U.S.

- Battery: 74.7 kWh total lithium-ion, 391 volts
- Powertrain: Dual-motor AWD, front and rear eAxles
- Power: 338 net combined system horsepower, 252 kW peak
- Torque: 198 lb-ft front / 125 lb-ft rear, 323 lb-ft combined
- 0-60 mph: Manufacturer-estimated 4.9 seconds
- Platform: e-TNGA dedicated EV

Same motors and battery on SE and XSE. The difference is wheels and equipment, not power.

Range That Changes With Wheels

Toyota USA manufacturer-estimated range:

- SE AWD with 18-inch wheels: *287 miles*
- XSE AWD with 20-inch wheels: *273 miles*

Efficiency:
- SE: 127 city / 107 highway / 117 combined MPGe
- XSE: 122 city / 102 highway / 112 combined MPGe based on 2026 EPA figures

The 14-mile drop is from wheel size, not battery.

Charging: NACS Standard, No Adapter Needed for Tesla Superchargers

- Charge port: Built-in NACS (SAE J3400) for AC and DC
- Onboard AC charger: 11 kW, about 7 to 7.5 hours for 10-100% on Level 2
- DC fast charging: Up to 150 kW max, 10-80% in around 30 minutes under ideal conditions
- Features: Battery preconditioning, Plug & Charge, dual-voltage 120V/240V cable included, NACS-to-CCS and J1772 adapters included

Ideal conditions means warm battery, compatible station, low state of charge. Cold weather and high state of charge will be slower.

Size, Cargo, and Everyday Use

- Length 177.9 in, width 73.6 in, height 63.8 in, wheelbase 108.3 in
- Cargo: 25.3 cu ft behind rear seats, 59.5 cu ft with 60/40 seats folded
- Seating: 5
- Standard tech: 14-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen, dual wireless Qi chargers, heated front seats and steering wheel, power liftgate, Toyota Safety Sense 3.0

Price

Official Toyota USA MSRP excluding $1,595 dealer processing and handling:

- SE AWD: *$37,080*
- XSE AWD: *$39,080*

With destination, most dealer listings show $38,675 and $40,675. ToyotaCare is now 1 year / 10,000 miles for 2027, down from 2 years.

Battery warranty: 8 years / 100,000 miles for Electric Vehicle Driving Components including traction battery.

2026 VW ID.4 RWD vs AWD: I Did The Math On $4,705 And 30 Winter Miles

Image
Let me be honest from the start. I have not driven the 2026 ID.4. I cannot afford to buy one yet. I rent an apartment in El-Hilmiya with no garage, no home charger, and I pay 17.3 cents per kWh when I can find a charger. So I did what any careful buyer would do. I spent four nights reading ID.4Talk, watching Out of Spec Reviews winter tests, checking Volkswagen USA's official site, and writing down every number that matters for someone who counts every dollar. This is not a copy of the press release. This is what I learned. The Price On The Sticker vs The Price You Pay Per Volkswagen USA official site, the 2026 ID.4 Pro RWD starts at $45,095 MSRP plus $1,425 destination. That means $46,520 before tax and before the dealer adds anything. The Pro AWD S is listed at $49,800 plus the same $1,425 destination, so $51,225. Difference is $4,705. I kept asking myself, what does $4,705 buy in real life? It is about 10 months of rent for a small room here, or 332 full charges at h...

IONIQ 5 N: $59,900 / 641 hp / 3.25 sec 0-60. If you search IONIQ 5 price you drown with http://Hyundai.com. Real buyer searches IONIQ 5 SE 318 vs Limited 269 why range drops and IONIQ 5 18 minutes charging real and IONIQ 5 vs EV6 which is better and IONIQ 5 NACS Tesla Supercharger 135 kW trap and IONIQ 5 N 641 hp worth it. The Design That Fools Your Eyes - IONIQ 5 length 4.63 m / width 1.89 m / height 1.60 m / wheelbase 3.00 m. ...
