Canadian model reference
Toyota
Toyota's compact electric SUV, now all-electric with a 77 kWh battery, front- or all-wheel drive and Canadian pricing from $44,895 MSRP, according to Toyota Canada. A research reference built around the questions EV shoppers ask, not a marketplace listing.
The C-HR returned to Canada for 2026 as a battery electric SUV with a coupe-like profile. Every Canadian C-HR uses a 77 kWh lithium-ion battery and the North American Charging System (NACS) port. The front-wheel-drive SE has 221 system hp and up to 496 km (308 mi) of range; the dual-motor XSE AWD and XSE Premium AWD have 338 system hp. The 2027 lineup runs from the SE at $44,895 to the XSE Premium AWD at $54,395. Acceleration and on-board charger figures come from Toyota Canada's 2026 C-HR release and are labelled as such.
