Performance and Efficiency

Thrilling Performance

The 2026 Toyota CH-R arrives armed with a battery pack and two electric motors. The 74.7 kWh of power in this SUV’s powertrain is able to crank out 338 hp; it’s also able to do so far quieter than its gas-powered counterparts.

This high horsepower rating allows the CH-R to blast off from a standstill; you can go from zero to 60 mph in just five seconds, outdoing many competitors. Long gone will be moments where you are stuck on the highway entrance ramp, waiting for traffic to clear so you can continue your commute to work.

The ample horsepower has further benefits, though. You’re going to enjoy a smooth, consistent ride without any sense that the CH-R is struggling to keep up. Instead, you’ll have no problem setting the pace.

Impressive Range and Charging Speed

The battery provides a lot of driving distance, as well. At full charge, the CH-R has a range of 290 miles. For many drivers, this means they never have to worry about charging on the go and can instead recharge at home overnight.

However, Toyota has made charging easy for this electric SUV if you do need to use charging stations along your journey. For drivers who take lengthy trips, the CH-R has plenty to offer. When fast charging is used, the CR-H can recharge from 10% to 80% in just 30 minutes. Regenerative braking also assists, allowing the Toyota to recoup some charge when braking by converting kinetic energy into electric power. 

Thanks to a battery pre-conditioning function, the CH-R can recharge effectively and quickly in colder weather, eliminating a problem that other EVs have had. This way, no matter the weather conditions, you can have full faith that you’re ready to take to the roads. You’re going to find that recharging won’t be much of a concern with this SUV’s advantages.

Interior

The inside of your 2026 Toyota CH-R is just as important as the exterior style and battery power advantages; after all, you’ll be spending time in the cabin and deserve to have one that’s both convenient and comfortable. As soon as you step into the SUV, you’ll notice the front dash offers a futuristic vibe, a sense that this is a cutting-edge vehicle. You’ll be able to offer both yourself and your passengers a memorable ride in terms of aesthetics.

A Spacious and Comfortable Cabin With Ample Room for Cargo

With a length of 177.9 inches and a height of 63.8 inches, the CH-R offers comfortable seating and ample headroom as well. You and your passengers won’t feel cramped because of long treks; instead, you’ll have the room you need to feel at ease. The available panoramic roof means you’ll be able to enjoy the sunlight during the day, and your passengers will be able to gaze up at the stars come nightfall. You’ll also appreciate the quieter cabin since the battery is far less noisy than a gas-powered engine. Conversation will flow easily.

Behind the second row of seats, you’ll find 25.4 cu.ft. of space so you can store luggage or equipment with ease. The ability to decline the rear row allows you to store even more, should the situation call for it.

A Multitude of Device Charging Options

You’ll be able to keep your devices charged, because the cabin features multiple outlets. There are two wireless smartphone chargers, allowing both you and your passengers to stay powered up. Rear row USB ports mean those in the back don’t feel left out, either.

Technology

The 2026 Toyota CH-R arrives with excellent technology, making this SUV an intelligent ride. The 14-inch touchscreen in the center dash offers a crystal-clear display and is intuitive to use, so even those who are not tech-savvy have no trouble manipulating it.

Audio System Options

The Toyota Audio Multimedia System connects to a six-speaker sound system, but you can upgrade if you’re looking for a more intense rhythm to your music. Also available is a JBL Premium Audio System with nine speakers, which means you’ll have sound that makes you feel like you’ve got front-row tickets to see your favorite band. You can easily connect your device to the touchscreen as well, thanks to wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

Connectivity

You can opt for Wi-Fi Connect and get a free trial of it, so that your CH-R becomes its own hotspot, assuring that you’re connected no matter how off the beaten path the day’s journey ends up taking you. You can also control your vehicle remotely with a three-year trial of Remote Connect, which allows you to activate not just the engine but also headlights and climate features from a distance via your smartphone. You can use it to check your charge and to start or stop your vehicle’s charging if it is currently plugged in.

Safety and Driver Assistance

In addition to infotainment and convenience, the CH-R offers ample safety features so that drivers feel secure taking their families on long road trips. Toyota’s Safety Sense 3.0 is packed with smart programs that use the SUV’s many camera angles to spot potential issues. A Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection alerts you if there’s an obstacle in your path that you might collide with; this system will even begin automatically braking for you, giving you an extra second of brake time. Anyone who has been in an accident can tell you how much of a difference a second can make.

Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist tells you if you’re veering out of your lane and can even gently steer you back into position. This feature is ideal for those who take long highway trips, where there’s a risk of distraction. Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert helps you change lanes by letting you know if there’s an obstacle you can’t see. All drivers will find this feature makes driving less stressful. The technology in the 2026 Toyota CH-R combines to make your journeys enjoyable, efficient, and, most importantly, safe.
