2027 Toyota C-HR Overview

2027 Toyota C-HR: An All-Electric SUV for Birmingham Drivers

The 2027 Toyota C-HR returns as an all-electric small SUV with the range, traction, and everyday flexibility to fit a wide variety of Birmingham routines. Every C-HR comes with standard all-wheel drive, 338 system-combined net horsepower, and a manufacturer-estimated 0–60 mph time of 4.9 seconds. The SE offers up to a manufacturer-estimated 287 miles of driving range, while the XSE is rated for up to 273 miles.

For drivers comparing the C-HR with other compact EVs, standard AWD and a 14-inch touchscreen give Toyota shoppers substantial equipment without requiring a long options list. Within Toyota’s electrified lineup, the C-HR also provides a smaller footprint than larger SUV choices for commuters who spend much of their week navigating Birmingham traffic, parking garages, and busy commercial areas. Shoppers can choose between two trims—SE AWD and XSE AWD—and Limbaugh Toyota can help determine which one makes the most sense for their driving habits and budget.

2027 Toyota C-HR Interior Space and Cargo Capacity

The C-HR seats five while keeping its cabin adaptable enough for workdays, errands, and weekends. Front passengers receive 42.12 inches of legroom, while the second row provides 32.19 inches. That gives Birmingham shoppers a compact SUV that can carry passengers without sacrificing the cargo flexibility that makes a crossover useful.

Important interior capacity figures include:

• 25.3 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row
• 59.5 cubic feet of cargo space behind the first row
• 93.6 cubic feet of manufacturer-estimated passenger volume without the available panoramic roof

Standard 60/40 split, reclining fold-flat rear seats make it easier to adjust the cabin around the day ahead. Keep both sides upright when carrying passengers, fold one section for a longer item, or open most of the rear area when hauling larger purchases or luggage. Both trims also include a height-adjustable power liftgate, helping simplify loading when your hands are already full.

Comfort Features for Daily Birmingham Driving

Long-term value is not only about efficiency or maintenance costs. A vehicle that handles a daily commute should also make the time spent inside it more comfortable. Toyota equips both C-HR trims with heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, dual-zone automatic climate control with rear-seat vents, and ambient lighting with 64 available colors.

The SE pairs Fabric/SofTex®-trimmed seats with an eight-way power driver’s seat and lumbar support. The XSE adds Synthetic Suede/SofTex®-trimmed upholstery and eight-way power adjustment for both front seats. Available XSE upgrades include heated rear seats and a fixed panoramic glass roof with a power sunshade.

2027 Toyota C-HR Exterior Design

The C-HR measures 177.9 inches long and 73.6 inches wide without the mirrors, keeping it manageable for city driving while retaining the stance and utility shoppers expect from a small SUV. That size can be particularly useful when a typical day includes interstate commuting followed by tighter parking around offices, medical facilities, restaurants, or shopping areas.

Toyota gives the C-HR a distinctive look with a hammerhead-inspired hood, split-roof and ducktail rear spoilers, black roof rails, and blackout badging. Standard lighting includes LED projector low- and high-beam headlights, LED daytime running lights, and LED taillights.

Wheel size helps distinguish the two trims. The SE uses 18-inch black alloy wheels with covers, while the XSE receives 20-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels.

Exterior color choices include:

• Overcast
• Tandoori
• Cement
• Wind Chill Pearl
• Midnight Black Metallic

Select XSE colors can also be paired with a contrasting Midnight Black roof.

2027 Toyota C-HR Electric Performance and Range

Every 2027 C-HR uses front and rear electric motors and standard all-wheel drive. Rather than reserving AWD for an upgraded configuration, Toyota includes it on both trims, providing additional traction capability for wet pavement and changing Alabama driving conditions.

The core performance specifications are straightforward:

• 338 system-combined net horsepower
• Manufacturer-estimated 0–60 mph time of 4.9 seconds
• SE AWD range of up to a manufacturer-estimated 287 miles with 18-inch wheels
• XSE AWD range of up to a manufacturer-estimated 273 miles with 20-inch wheels
• 74.7-kWh lithium-ion battery on both trims

Those range figures can make the C-HR practical for more than short trips around town. Drivers with regular commutes along I-65, I-20, or I-59 can build charging around their normal routine rather than treating every drive as a separate charging decision.

The C-HR also uses an independent MacPherson strut front suspension and multi-link rear suspension. Electric Power Steering and a 36-foot curb-to-curb turning circle support maneuverability, while 8 inches of ground clearance adds useful separation from the road without requiring the dimensions of a larger SUV.

How Do You Charge the 2027 Toyota C-HR?

The 2027 C-HR supports Level 1, Level 2, and DC fast charging and uses a North American Charging Standard (NACS) port. That gives owners multiple ways to recharge depending on where the vehicle is parked and how quickly additional range is needed.

Toyota estimates approximately 7.5 hours for Level 2 charging. At a compatible DC fast charger, the battery can charge from 10% to 80% in approximately 30 minutes under ideal conditions.

For many Birmingham households, home charging may be the most convenient way to approach EV ownership: plug in after the day’s driving and begin the next trip with replenished range. Public fast charging provides another option for longer drives or days when additional range is needed sooner. Charging speed can vary with temperature, battery condition, charger output, and other factors.

2027 Toyota C-HR Technology and Connectivity

Both C-HR trims come standard with a 14-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen, giving drivers a large central interface without requiring an upgrade to the XSE. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility make it easy to bring familiar navigation, music, messages, and other compatible smartphone functions into the vehicle.

A 7-inch Multi-Information Display keeps relevant driving and EV information in the driver’s line of sight. The standard audio system has six speakers, while XSE shoppers can choose an available nine-speaker JBL® Premium Audio system with a subwoofer and amplifier.

Toyota also equips the cabin for households in which more than one person arrives with a device that needs power. Standard connectivity and convenience equipment includes:

• Two Qi-compatible wireless smartphone chargers
• Three USB-C charging ports
• One front USB-C media port
• One 12V/120W auxiliary power outlet
• Smart Key System with Push Button Start
• Digital Key capability with the required Remote Connect trial or subscription

Two wireless charging pads are a small feature that can make a noticeable difference when two people commute together, or several family members share the vehicle. Instead of deciding whose phone gets the charging spot, both front occupants can set down compatible devices and continue with the drive.

Available Toyota Connected Services can expand the experience with features such as Cloud Navigation, “Hey, Toyota” Intelligent Assistant, remote functions, vehicle health information, Destination Assist, compatible Wi-Fi, and integrated streaming services. Applicable trials, subscriptions, compatible devices, and network connectivity may be required.

2027 Toyota C-HR Safety and Driver Assistance

Every 2027 Toyota C-HR includes Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0. That means Birmingham shoppers receive the same core collection of Toyota driver-assistance technologies whether they select the SE or move up to the XSE.

Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0 includes:

• Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection
• Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
• Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist
• Lane Tracing Assist
• Road Sign Assist
• Proactive Driving Assist

These technologies can assist with different parts of an everyday drive. Dynamic Radar Cruise Control can help manage following distance during highway travel, while Lane Tracing Assist can provide steering support when lane markings are detected and the system’s operating conditions are met. Proactive Driving Assist can provide gentle braking or steering support in certain situations.

Safety equipment extends beyond Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0. Both C-HR trims also include Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, Safe Exit Alert, a backup camera with dynamic gridlines, eight airbags, and Toyota’s Star Safety System™.

For a driver moving between interstate traffic, crowded parking areas, and neighborhood streets during the same day, those systems provide different layers of assistance rather than concentrating safety technology around a single type of trip.

What Additional Driver-Assistance Features Does the XSE Include?

The XSE expands the C-HR’s driver-assistance technology with features designed to provide additional awareness and support in tighter or more congested driving situations.

Additional XSE equipment includes:

• Panoramic View Monitor with 360-degree Overhead View
• Front and Rear Parking Assist with Automatic Braking
• Lane Change Assist
• Traffic Jam Assist

The Panoramic View Monitor can be especially helpful when judging the C-HR’s position in a parking space or navigating confined areas. Traffic Jam Assist can provide additional support in qualifying low-speed traffic situations and requires an applicable Drive Connect trial or subscription and network connectivity.
