What’s New for the 2027 Toyota C-HR?
The 2027 Toyota C-HR keeps the all-electric formula introduced for 2026 largely intact. There are no changes to its two-grade lineup, dual-motor all-wheel-drive powertrain, horsepower, driving-range ratings, charging setup, or core cabin technology. The notable year-over-year differences are an $80 increase in starting MSRP for both grades and a change to ToyotaCare scheduled-maintenance coverage.¹
For shoppers who have already researched the 2026 model, that makes the 2027 C-HR easy to understand: its combination of compact-SUV utility, standard AWD, electric performance, and everyday technology carries straight into the new model year.

2027 Toyota C-HR vs. 2026 Toyota C-HR: What Changed?
Here is the year-over-year comparison:
| Feature | 2026 C-HR | 2027 C-HR |
| Grades | SE, XSE | SE, XSE |
| Drivetrain | Standard AWD | Standard AWD |
| System output | 338 horsepower | 338 horsepower |
| Estimated 0–60 mph | 4.9 seconds | 4.9 seconds |
| SE EPA-estimated range | 287 miles | 287 miles |
| XSE EPA-estimated range | 273 miles | 273 miles |
| Charging port | NACS | NACS |
| Multimedia touchscreen | 14 inches | 14 inches |
| SE base MSRP | $37,000 | $37,080 |
| XSE base MSRP | $39,000 | $39,080 |
| ToyotaCare scheduled maintenance | 2 years/25,000 miles | 1 year/10,000 miles |
The vehicle itself remains unchanged for 2027.¹ The current 2027 C-HR SE carries an EPA-estimated 287-mile range rating, while the XSE is rated at 273 miles.² The 2026 model started at $37,000 for the SE and $39,000 for the XSE and included ToyotaCare scheduled maintenance for two years or 25,000 miles.³ For model-year 2027, ToyotaCare scheduled maintenance covers one year or 10,000 miles; the C-HR continues to receive three years of Roadside Assistance with unlimited mileage.⁴
The C-HR’s Electric Powertrain Carries Over

Both 2027 C-HR grades continue with front and rear electric motors that provide standard electronic all-wheel drive and 338 net combined system horsepower. The manufacturer-estimated 0–60 mph time remains 4.9 seconds.¹
That means buyers do not need to move from a 2026 to a 2027 model to gain additional horsepower or a different drivetrain. The basic performance package is the same.
The compact footprint and electric powertrain can make sense for a daily routine that includes station-area driving around Norwood Central, local streets, and longer stretches away from town without requiring a larger SUV.
Range and Charging Stay Consistent for 2027
The 2027 C-HR SE has an EPA-estimated 287-mile range rating, while the XSE has an EPA-estimated 273-mile range rating.² The SE uses 18-inch wheels, while the XSE rides on 20-inch wheels.¹
Those ratings give drivers a useful amount of flexibility for days that mix commuting with errands around University Station in Westwood or other stops beyond the usual trip to work. As with every EV, actual range varies with factors including temperature, driving speed, climate-control use, charging habits, and road conditions.
The charging hardware also carries over. The C-HR uses a North American Charging Standard, or NACS, port and supports Level 1, Level 2, and compatible DC fast charging. Its 11-kW onboard AC charger can take the battery from 10% to 100% in around seven hours with compatible Level 2 charging under the specified conditions. Under ideal conditions, compatible DC fast charging can bring the battery from 10% to 80% in around 30 minutes.¹
Adjustable regenerative-braking paddle shifters remain standard as well, giving drivers control over the amount of regenerative braking. That can be especially useful when a trip shifts from open roads to the more frequent slowing and accelerating of local driving around Nahatan Street and central Norwood.
SE and XSE Return for 2027

2027 Toyota C-HR XSE

2027 Toyota C-HR SE
There is no new trim level to sort through for 2027. The C-HR remains available in SE and XSE grades.
Both share the 338-horsepower AWD powertrain and 14-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen. The SE carries the higher EPA-estimated range rating, while the XSE adds equipment including 20-inch wheels and synthetic suede/SofTex-trimmed seating. An available fixed-glass panoramic roof with a power sunshade is offered on the XSE.²
The two-grade structure keeps the choice fairly simple: compare the equipment and range rating that fit your priorities rather than learning a reshuffled lineup for the new model year.
Practicality also remains part of the C-HR formula. With the 60/40-split rear seats folded, the C-HR provides up to 59.5 cubic feet of rear storage space.¹ That can come in handy when the Saturday schedule involves bulky gear for an afternoon at Father Mac’s rather than just the usual work bag or groceries.
ToyotaCare Changes for the 2027 Model Year
One change extends beyond the vehicle specifications themselves.
The 2026 C-HR came with ToyotaCare covering normal factory-scheduled maintenance for two years or 25,000 miles, whichever came first.³ For model-year 2027, ToyotaCare scheduled-maintenance coverage is one year or 10,000 miles, whichever comes first. The C-HR, as a Toyota battery-electric vehicle, receives three years of Roadside Assistance with unlimited mileage.⁴
That distinction is worth including when comparing the complete ownership package rather than looking only at equipment and MSRP.
