The new Toyota C-HR is now a fully electric compact SUV, sliding into the automaker's growing EV family just below the bZ Woodland. It's also still the second-cheapest way to get into a Toyota EV, right after the standard bZ.For 2027, Toyota has basically hit pause on the C-HR. The price tag barely budges, and the specs are a rerun. Toyota admits the 2027 C-HR is a copy-paste job from the outgoing year, and you'll start seeing them at dealerships in September.Cole AttishaFamiliar Formula Returns for 2027Toyota isn't out to shake things up after just one year. The formula is unchanged: two trims (SE and XSE), all-wheel drive across the board, and the same dual-motor setup pushing out 338 horsepower. That gets you a claimed 0-60 mph in 4.9 seconds. The 74.7 kWh battery sticks around, and if you find a fast charger, you can juice it from 10-80% in about half an hour – assuming everything goes perfectly.AdvertisementAdvertisementEven the base SE comes loaded: 18-inch wheels, heated seats and steering wheel, a power liftgate, rain-sensing wipers, Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, dual wireless phone chargers, four USB-C ports, and a massive 14-inch touchscreen. Step up to the XSE, and you get 20-inch wheels, fancier SofTex and suede-like seats, a power passenger seat, driver memory, Traffic Jam Assist, Lane Change Assist, and a panoramic view monitor.Toyota still wants the C-HR to be your practical EV pick, with up to 59.5 cubic feet of cargo space if you fold the rear seats. You also get wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus standard NACS charging, so you're covered on the tech front.Cole AttishaIts Subaru Twin Still Wins on PriceWhile Toyota is playing it safe with pricing, Subaru's twin – the Uncharted – still wins the value game. It's built on the same bones and shares most of its electric guts, but the Uncharted starts at $34,995 for the Premium FWD, then jumps to $39,795 for the Sport and $43,795 for the GT. Subaru hasn't touched its prices for 2027 either, sticking with the numbers from its early-2026 launch.So, the cheapest Subaru undercuts the base Toyota C-HR by about $2,085, and it even promises over 300 miles of range. The higher trims are neck-and-neck on price, but Toyota gives you all-wheel drive no matter what, while Subaru only throws it in above the base model.AdvertisementAdvertisementSales between the two Japanese EVs are turning into a tight race. In the first half of 2026, Toyota moved 3,748 C-HR BEVs in the US, while Subaru delivered 2,436 Uncharteds. Now that both brands have locked in their 2027 prices, anyone shopping for a compact electric crossover is basically choosing between twins – separated by a couple grand, or maybe even less depending on the trim.Cole AttishaView the 7 images of this gallery on the original articleThis story was originally published by Autoblog on Aug 7, 2026, where it first appeared in the News section.
