Ranked #306 car in the UK · Coupe SUV (EV) · 1,200 units sold last year
The Toyota C-HR+ is Toyota's electric coupe-SUV - and, despite the name, a completely different, purpose-built EV rather than a version of the hybrid C-HR. Built on bZ4X-derived underpinnings with 57.7kWh or 77kWh batteries, it offers up to a claimed 373 miles of range, a heat pump and battery preconditioning as standard, and Toyota's reliability reputation. A well-rounded, fairly-priced electric family SUV rivalling the Skoda Elroq and Kia EV3, reaching UK roads in 2026.
New model — there isn't yet an established used market to price this car from, so the valuation is based on its launch list price and projected depreciation. It will sharpen automatically as used examples reach the market.
WLTP
The short version
The Toyota C-HR+ is new enough that its used values are still projected from launch price rather than observed from sales and is dearer to run than most. Its MOT-based reliability is excellent, 80 out of 100, ahead of 71% of the cars we track. The main things to check on a used one are the wheel hub torque recall (bz4x precedent).

If you're a company-car driver
At 3% BIK, this would cost a 40% taxpayer about £35/month in company-car tax (£17/month at 20%) — one of the strongest cases for choosing an EV via salary sacrifice. Full BIK table below for context.
Best age to buy — around 2 years
A 2-year-old example loses roughly £3,650 a year — under half the £9,050 a one-year-old sheds. The steepest drop is behind it.
Uses current UK pump and home-charging prices (DESNZ weekly), typical-driver insurance and manufacturer service intervals. "Fuel per mile" is just the energy input — so an EV at ~9p and a diesel at ~22p make running-cost comparison direct. A guide; your own costs will vary.

How we estimate this
Indicative annual comprehensive premium estimates. The 'Typical' figure represents an average UK driver in each age band; Lower and Higher risk show the realistic spread driven by factors UK insurers legitimately price on (postcode, occupation, claims history, NCB, voluntary excess, modifications). Based on 10,000 miles/yr, £250 voluntary excess, and the no-claims bonus selected above. Always get individual quotes before buying.

bZ4X documented issue — charging slows aggressively above 50% SOC, especially in summer. Toyota improved this on C-HR Plus but verify with real-world charging logs. OTA updates address.
Toyota pattern across keyless-entry hybrids/EVs. Battery drains faster than older Toyotas. Replace at 3-5 years preventatively.
bZ4X had a 2022 wheel-loss recall. C-HR Plus uses revised hub design but verify VIN against any active TSBs at PDI.
Toyota infotainment lags Hyundai/Kia in responsiveness. Multiple over-the-air updates improve. Check current firmware.
Some early units show minor misalignment causing wind noise. Cosmetic adjustment.
Heat pump derates below -5°C, falling back to resistive heat. Range drops 30-35% in deep winter conditions.
"Parts low/medium/high" indicates how easy the replacement part is to source — discontinued or specialist parts mean longer workshop time and bigger bills.
Euro NCAP's independent crash-test rating for the Toyota C-HR+, from its 2025 assessment.
The Toyota C-HR+ is a partner model to the Toyota bZ4X tested by Euro NCAP in 2025.
Independent crash-test data from Euro NCAP. Star ratings reflect the test protocol of the year shown — newer protocols are stricter, so a 5-star from 2024 represents a higher bar than a 5-star from 2014.
Excellent
Estimated from Toyota's reliability record and the proven bZ4X platform - too new for MOT data
MOT outlook
Insufficient MOT history at this car's reference age — too few tests to compute a reliable percentile.
Safety recalls
Manufacturers occasionally issue safety recalls to fix a fault free of charge. You can check whether the Toyota C-HR+, or your exact vehicle, has any outstanding recalls on the official DVSA service.
Check on GOV.UKOpens the Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency recall checker. Choose the make, model and year of manufacture — no registration needed.
A general indicator from UK 2025 theft data and this car’s characteristics — not a prediction for any one vehicle.
Whole-car theft
Higher
Desirable SUVs like this are relay-theft targets — keyless entry can be exploited from the driveway in under a minute.
Parts theft
Lower
As an electric car it has no catalytic converter, so the most common parts-theft vector doesn't apply.
Worth doing
Whether driving a Toyota C-HR+ into a UK clean-air zone will cost you anything. Rules use the same Euro standard across most zones — petrol from 2006 and diesel from 2015 onwards are exempt; pure electric is always exempt.
| City | Area | Daily charge | Likely outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| London | All of Greater London (within the M25) | £12.50 | Likely exempt Battery-electric — exempt everywhere. |
| Birmingham | Inside the A4540 Middleway | £8.00 | Likely exempt Battery-electric — exempt everywhere. |
| Bristol | City centre and part of the Portway | £9.00 | Likely exempt Battery-electric — exempt everywhere. |
| Glasgow | City centre | — | Likely exempt Battery-electric — exempt everywhere. |

Winter range estimates assume ~5°C ambient with cabin heating; figures from manufacturer cold-weather testing where available, otherwise derived as a fraction of WLTP. DC times are manufacturer-claimed 10–80% on the headline charger; real-world sessions on UK rapids can be slower. Charging cost is a full battery at the home/blended electricity rate; public rapid charging costs more.
UK charging network
As of 2026-04-01, the UK has 119,080 publicly available EV chargers, up 12.6% on the prior year (13,281 added in 2025). 23% of those are rapid (50 kW+) or ultra-rapid (150 kW+), so the network can support both home and on-route charging.

What HMRC's Benefit-in-Kind charge looks like if you ran this Toyota C-HR+ as a company car, by tax year and income-tax band. Calculated from a CO₂ of 0 g/km and a WLTP electric range of 295 miles, using £34,495 as the P11D value.
EVs sit at the bottom BIK band — currently 3% — so this is one of the cheapest ways to take a company car.
| Tax year | BIK % | Tax @ 20% | Tax @ 40% | Monthly @ 20% | Monthly @ 40% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025-26 | 3% | £207 | £414 | £17 | £35 |
| 2026-27 | 4% | £276 | £552 | £23 | £46 |
| 2027-28 | 5% | £345 | £690 | £29 | £58 |
| 2028-29 | 7% | £483 | £966 | £40 | £81 |
| 2029-30 | 9% | £621 | £1,242 | £52 | £104 |
P11D value is approximated from the latest new price; the exact figure on your tax code will depend on options fitted. The 4% diesel surcharge applies only to non-RDE2 (pre-2021) diesels — we assume RDE2 compliance for current models. Bands and rates from HMRC's Autumn Budget 2024 confirmation through 2029/30.

Network size relative to the UK's largest (Toyota is 4% of all franchised outlets)
Servicing, parts and warranty work are easy to find UK-wide, and most independent garages know the brand well — which keeps maintenance competitive.
For context, the UK has roughly 4,500 franchised car-dealer outlets in total, plus about 15,500 independent garages.
