2026 Toyota C-HR Trims and Pricing: SE vs. XSE
The Toyota C-HR is back, and it is a completely different vehicle. The nameplate returns as an all-new battery electric SUV. It rides on Toyota’s dedicated e-TNGA platform. Dual motors give it standard all-wheel drive and 338 net combined system horsepower.
The trim structure is simpler than it was before. For 2026, Toyota offers two grades: the SE and the XSE. There are no officially listed trims called XLE, Nightshade, or Limited in the U.S. market for 2026. Those names belonged to the earlier gasoline-powered C-HR. Our guide to Toyota Nightshade explains what that package includes on the models that still offer it.
Below you will find what separates the two grades, what each one costs, and how far each one travels on a charge. We serve drivers across Tustin, Irvine, Anaheim, Orange, Costa Mesa, Huntington Beach, and Corona.
Deciding Between the 2026 Toyota C-HR SE and XSE Trims
Both grades share the same battery and the same dual-motor all-wheel-drive powertrain. Both make 338 horsepower. The choice comes down to wheels, interior materials, and a few convenience features.
What the SE Includes
The SE is the entry point to the lineup, and it is not a stripped-down model. Standard equipment includes 18-inch alloy wheels and a power liftgate. Inside, you get an 8-way power driver’s seat, heated front seats, and a heated steering wheel. A 14-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen anchors the dashboard. Front and rear parking assist is standard.
What the XSE Adds
The XSE swaps in larger 20-inch alloy wheels. The cabin upgrades to synthetic suede and SofTex upholstery. It also adds an 8-way power front passenger seat and driver’s seat memory. A panoramic view monitor makes tight parking easier.
Available Options
The XSE offers an available panoramic glass roof. An available JBL Premium Audio system on the XSE adds nine speakers powered by an 800-watt amplifier. Two-tone body paint with a Midnight Black Metallic roof is available on the XSE.

2026 Toyota C-HR Trim Pricing
The SE carries a Total Suggested Retail Price of $38,450. The XSE starts at $40,450. Toyota sets those figures. The dealer sets the final price, and what you actually pay will vary with equipment, accessories, and the offers available when you buy.
Shoppers almost always ask us the same first question. How does the factory sticker translate into real out-of-pocket cost at delivery? Our sales team is happy to walk through that math with you before you commit to anything.
Total Suggested Retail Price (TSRP) for new vehicles includes manufacturer and distributor options and delivery, processing, and handling fees, which are subject to change at any time. TSRP excludes taxes, title, license, dealer-installed options, accessories, fees and charges. TSRP is not the dealer advertised price. Dealer price will vary. The dealer sets the final price.
Battery, Range, and Charging
Driving Range by Trim
Every 2026 C-HR uses a 74.7-kWh lithium-ion battery. It feeds a dual-motor system rated at 338 net combined system horsepower, with 198 lb-ft of torque at the front motor and 125 lb-ft at the rear. Because both grades use the same pack, range differs only because of wheel size and aerodynamics. The SE carries an EPA-estimated 287-mile range rating on a full charge. The XSE is EPA-estimated at 273 miles on its larger 20-inch wheels.
Charging at Home and on the Road
Most owners charge at home on a 240V Level 2 setup. That takes the battery from 10% to 100% in about seven hours. A standard 120V Level 1 outlet works for topping off, but a 240V circuit is the practical choice for daily driving. On the road, the C-HR’s standard NACS port handles DC fast charging. Under ideal conditions, it goes from 10% to 80% in around 30 minutes.

EPA-estimated fuel economy figures are for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary depending on driving conditions, how you drive and maintain your vehicle, battery age/condition, and other factors.
| Charging Method | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| DC fast charging (standard NACS port) | 10% to 80% in around 30 minutes under ideal conditions |
| 240V Level 2 at home | 10% to 100% in about seven hours |
| 120V Level 1 household outlet | Best for topping off, not for daily full charges |
