But the C-HR\u2019s 108.2-inch (2,750 mm) wheelbase is 4 inches (102 mm) shorter than the BZ\u2019s and it gets a sportier fastback coupe-style tail instead of the SUV\u2019s squarer, more practical rear end.<\/p>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article-thumbnails-organic\"><\/div>\n<p><strong>One Powertrain, No Choices, But Plenty of Power<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another big difference is in the choice of powertrains and batteries. While BZ buyers get to pick from a menu, C-HR buyers get no choice at all, the only available configuration being a dual-motor, all-wheel drive setup that makes 338 hp (343 PS \/ 252 kW). It gets the crossover to 60 mph (97 km\/h) in 5 seconds, or 1.1 seconds faster than a GR86. The 165 hp (167 hp \/ 123 kW) and 221 (224 PS \/ 165 kW) single-motor front-wheel drive versions available in Europe aren\u2019t coming to the US.<\/p>\n<p>        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Toyota-C-HR-EV-USA-00006-copy.jpg\" data-type=\"inarticle-image-block\"> <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<p>                    <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" src=\"\" alt=\" Toyota\u2019s C-HR Returns To America But It\u2019s Nothing Like You Remember\" width=\"2400\" height=\"1581\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Toyota-C-HR-EV-USA-00006-copy-1024x675.jpg\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>        <\/a>  <\/p>\n<p>Battery options are also limited, the only power pack making it into US-spec cars being a 77 kWh unit that Toyota says is good for around 290 miles (467 km) of driving before you need to find a charger. An 11 kW onboard <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/charging\/\">charger<\/a> is standard, as is an NACS port, but the 150 kW peak charging speed is nothing to write home about.

You get that screen, heated front seats, power liftgate and two wireless phone chargers on both SE and XSE grades. But going for the XSE upgrades the 18-inch wheels to 20s, adds a memory for the driver\u2019s seat, 8-way power to the passenger\u2019s and brings other goodies like Lane Change Assist and a Panoramic View Monitor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When Can You Get One?<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"ad-placement\">\n<div id=\"9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<div id=\"bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\tvar adpushup = window.adpushup  = window.adpushup || {que:[]};<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tadpushup.que.push(function() {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tif (adpushup.config.platform !== &#8220;DESKTOP&#8221;){<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c&#8221;);<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t} else {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751&#8221;);<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t}<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t});<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Although we\u2019re getting our first look at the North American C-HR now, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/toyota\/\">Toyota<\/a> says it won\u2019t be available until 2026.
