Inovev expects 90,000 units of the new Toyota CHR+ to be produced in 2030
- Toyota has unveiled its new all-electric C-segment SUV, the CHR+, which has nothing to do with the CHR full-hybrid (F-HEV) and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) models we already know.
- While the CHR full-hybrid and plug-in hybrid are 4.36 m long, the new CHR+ (which does not replace the CHR) is 16 cm longer and measures 4.52 m. It is almost as long as the Volkswagen ID4 (4.58 m), its main competitor.
- Within the Toyota range, the CHR+ is the second 100% electric production model after the 4.69 m long BZ4X SUV which is located in the D segment. Curiously, Toyota announces a price of 45,000 euros for the CHR+ while the BZ4X is significantly cheaper (40,000 euros). Remember that the CHR is priced from 35,000 (F-HEV) to 40,000 euros (PHEV).
- Last year, the Toyota CHR sold 103,000 units in Europe (30 countries = EU + UK + Norway + Switzerland) + 10,000 units in Turkey + 13,000 units in the rest of the world, making a total of 126,000 units produced at the Adapazari site in Turkey. This site also manufactured 34,000 Toyota Corollas for the local market. In total, this has therefore produced 160,000 cars in 2024, for a capacity of 250,000 cars per year. This leaves 90,000 units of unused capacity. This is why the new CHR+ will be produced at the Adapazari site, with a production potential of 90,000 units per year (the BZ4X did not exceed 50,000 units produced in 2024). According to Inovev, this volume will not be reached before 2030.
- The CHR+ receives a 167 hp (123 kW) or 224 hp (165 kW) electric motor coupled with a 58 kWh or 77 kWh battery (73 kWh in the BZ4X) allowing a range of 600 km according to the WLTP cycle. The four-wheel drive version will be equipped with a more powerful 343 hp (252 kW) electric motor with the 77 kWh battery.
