Toyota unveiled a new mid-size electric SUV at the Kenshiki Forum in Brussels. It is called the C-HR+ but has retained only the name of the model we all know. With sleek, coupé-like lines and a genuinely rewarding and fun-to-drive character, it will impress customers aesthetically while offering space and comfort. The model was developed from the compact SUV concept that Toyota unveiled in 2022. Inspired in style by the C-HR, the C-HR+ has taken a leap forward and is a new model based on the e-Tnga platform. In the front three-quarter view, the styling is clean and modern while the elegant coupe-crossover silhouette is both distinctive and aerodynamic. In particular, the coupe-like roofline has been achieved without compromising headroom for rear seat passengers. The Japanese crossover has two battery packs of 55 or 77 kWh for a maximum range of 600 kilometres.
The car’s styling is emphasised by distinctive character lines: clearly defined at the rear and then blending smoothly with the front design. The look is equally distinctive at the rear, again with a prominent road presence and sophisticated full-Led tail lights. The striking rear window profile and integrated spoiler add further emphasis to the dynamic appearance. The interior is modern and spacious with a 2.75-metre wheelbase and an overall length of 4.5 metres.
Likewise, the execution of the interior has a level of perceived quality usually found in larger models. The equipment takes into account the fact that the vehicle will be a shared space and not just driver-focused. For this reason, it includes, for example, two wireless chargers for smartphones and USB ports in the rear area of the cabin, ensuring connectivity for all passengers during the journey; dedicated controls for the rear air conditioning and a panoramic roof that illuminates every corner of the cabin. The C-HR+ is equipped with a 14-inch multimedia display, a central element of the dashboard design. The navigation system integrates a specific function for planning trips in electricity, calculating optimal routes with strategic charging points based on battery status and available autonomy.
