How does it compare?
The Toyota C-HR+ lands in the electric SUV scene swinging with sharp style, AWD capability, and a no-nonsense price tag under $25,000. But it’s not alone in this tight segment of affordable, mid-size electric crossovers. It squares off against rivals like the Hyundai Kona Electric, MG ZS EV Long Range, Cupra Tavascan, and Renault Mégane E-Tech EV60. All bring urban practicality with electric guts, but Toyota’s combo of speed, range, and all-weather traction stands out where it counts.
Range
The C-HR+ clocks in at 373 miles (600 km) WLTP from a 77 kWh pack. That’s a segment leader. Hyundai Kona Electric follows with 319 miles (514 km), and MG ZS EV Long Range offers 273 miles (440 km). Renault Mégane EV60 delivers 280 miles (450 km), while the sporty Cupra Tavascan comes in at 341 miles (550 km). For road trip warriors and range worriers, Toyota brings peace of mind without the premium price tag.
Acceleration
With AWD and 340 hp (254 kW), the C-HR+ jumps from 0–62 mph (0–100 km/h) in 5.2 seconds. That’s hot hatch territory in SUV clothing. Cupra Tavascan bites back with 6.8 seconds, Kona Electric AWD comes in around 7.8 seconds, and Mégane EV60 and MG ZS EV trail at 7.4 and 8.2 seconds respectively. Toyota’s CUV muscles ahead when the light turns green—no turbo lag, no drama, just torque.
Power
The C-HR+ drops 340 hp (254 kW) through all four wheels, giving it muscle that most of its rivals don’t even attempt. Cupra Tavascan tops out at 286 hp (213 kW), Kona Electric AWD delivers 215 hp (160 kW), Mégane EV60 peaks at 220 hp (165 kW), and MG ZS EV settles at 174 hp (130 kW). In terms of sheer grunt, Toyota pulls away with confidence—especially for the price.
Charging Time
With 150 kW DC fast charging, the C-HR+ refills from 10–80% in 28 minutes. That’s respectable, though not best-in-class. Kona Electric and Mégane EV60 both hover around 30–35 minutes, MG ZS EV needs 36 minutes, and Tavascan charges quicker at 175 kW. While Toyota could improve charging speed, it’s not falling behind enough to be a dealbreaker.
Price
The C-HR+ undercuts everyone at $25,000 (€23,000), shaking the segment to its core. MG ZS EV Long Range starts around $29,000 (€27,000), Kona Electric at $33,000 (€31,000), Mégane EV60 from $34,000 (€31,500), and Cupra Tavascan at a heady $42,000 (€39,000). For under 25 grand, Toyota packs in AWD, 340 hp, 600 km range, and a decade-long battery warranty. That’s not just value—it’s a wake-up call.
