The old Toyota C-HR was an awkward-looking four-door crossover that sipped gas. It never really struck a chord with the audiences and was a sales dud in the U.S. So it’s surprising that Toyota decided to revive that nameplate at all. But this time, it’s not what you think. The C-HR has been resurrected in an all-electric avatar and it packs much more flair and attitude than the old model.
It shares the same e-TNGA platform as the bZ, but gets a coupe-like roofline, blacked out elements all around and horizontal LED light bars on both ends. More importantly, all-wheel drive is standard and its dual electric motors combine for 338 horsepower, enough to make it sprint from 0-60 miles per hour in just 5 seconds—it will easily smoke its gas-powered predecessor in a straight line.
It also gets the same 74.7 kilowatt-hour battery as the bZ, which will deliver 290 miles of Toyota-estimated range. It will be made in Japan and is expected to go on sale in the U.S. early next year.
