In a significant update to its popular subcompact crossover, MotorWeek puts the 2026 Toyota C-HR through its paces, with a major focus on its revamped powertrain. Gone are the days of a choice between a conventional gasoline engine and a hybrid variant - the 2026 C-HR now comes standard with a battery-electric powertrain, marking a bold step towards electrification for the Japanese automaker. With increased emphasis on sustainability and reduced emissions, Toyota aims to appeal to environmentally conscious buyers while maintaining the C-HR's reputation for agile handling and stylish design. But does the new electric powertrain live up to the C-HR's high standards, and are there any compromises to be made in the process?
