The C-HR Is Going Electric: Toyota Confirms Battery-Electric Model for 2027
Toyota has announced that the striking C-HR SUV will soon be available as a fully electric model, marking another exciting step forward in Toyota's electrified future.
Arriving in Australia in mid-2027, the battery-electric C-HR will join the bZ4X, bZ4X Touring and the BEV HiLux in Toyota's expanding BEV line-up. Built from the ground up on Toyota's dedicated e-TNGA electric platform, the all-electric C-HR combines bold styling, advanced technology, and efficient performance designed for modern city life.
“Toyota is dedicated to offering customers the right powertrain choice for the right time and application, and 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,”
— Toyota Australia Vice President Sales, Marketing and Franchise Operations, Sean Hanley.
The Next Step in Toyota's Electric Journey
The introduction of the C-HR BEV follows Toyota's multi-pathway approach to electrification, offering customers more options across hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and battery-electric vehicles. With the plug-in hybrid RAV4 arriving in 2026 and the C-HR BEV following in 2027, Toyota continues to give Australian drivers more choice, flexibility, and confidence in making the switch to lower-emission driving.

Australian-delivered C-HR BEVs will feature a 74.7kWh lithium-ion battery paired with a front-mounted permanent magnet electric motor producing 165kW and 269Nm.
