As I stepped into the 2026 Toyota C-HR EV, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia wash over me.

But this latest iteration, with its bold, more angular exterior and electric powertrain, is a breath of fresh air.

### Design and Features
The C-HR EV’s design is a far cry from the original, with a more aggressive stance and a distinctive “face” that’s sure to turn heads.

The upholstery is a work of art, with its unique patterns and textures adding a level of sophistication that’s hard to find in other mainstream crossovers.
