Like Frankenstein’s monster, electricity brings the Toyota C-HR back to life.

Toyota’s quirkiest model returns as a fully electric subcompact crossover that shares its platform and battery with the bZ Woodland but trades practicality for personality. With 338 horsepower, available all-wheel drive (AWD), and a starting price of $48,015 (including destination), the 2026 Toyota C-HR offers an entertaining drive at a reasonable price.

Verdict: The 2026 Toyota C-HR won’t be the right fit for buyers who need lots of space, but it’s a genuinely fun electric crossover that doesn’t cost a fortune. If you’re an EV shopper who values driving enjoyment more than cargo capacity, the C-HR belongs on your shortlist.
