How Do 2027 Toyota C-HR Trims Compare to the Toyota Corolla Cross?

The 2027 Toyota C-HR is a battery-electric compact crossover with standard electronic all-wheel drive, a coupe-like profile, and 338 total system horsepower. The Toyota Corolla Cross follows a more traditional crossover format and is offered with gasoline and hybrid powertrains rather than an all-electric powertrain.

The two crossovers use distinctly different powertrains and body designs. The Corolla Cross is available with gasoline and hybrid powertrains and has a more upright crossover profile. The 2027 C-HR is a dedicated battery-electric vehicle with an underfloor battery that contributes to a low center of gravity and a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system producing 338 total system horsepower.

Inside the cabin, the C-HR comes standard with a 14-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen, two front Qi-compatible wireless smartphone chargers, and heated front seats. These features give the C-HR a technology-focused cabin configuration that differs from the Corolla Cross.

The C-HR provides up to 25.3 cubic feet of cargo space behind its 60/40 split-folding rear seats and up to 59.5 cubic feet with the rear seats folded. Its underfloor-mounted battery contributes to a low center of gravity, while the dual-motor electric powertrain provides immediate electric-motor response.
