Toyota C-HR+ Lease Deals

Why Lease a Toyota C-HR+?

First, the name. The C-HR+ is a fully electric SUV and it is a different car from the hybrid C-HR, not an electric version of it. Toyota lists them separately and they share almost nothing but a badge and a silhouette. Both also use Icon, Design and Excel grade names, so if you are comparing quotes, check which car you are actually looking at.

What makes the C-HR+ interesting is range for the size. The Design manages 377 miles on the official test, which is a long way beyond most electric cars of this footprint, and it does it without the price or the bulk of something a class bigger. Add a 150kW rapid charge, a heat pump as standard on every version and Toyota's battery guarantee, and it is a very easy car to run.

The Three Versions

All three are front wheel drive. There is no all wheel drive C-HR+ in the UK, so if you see one quoted with two motors and over 340hp, that is a different market's car.

That 30 mile gap between Design and Excel is purely the wheels, so it is worth deciding whether you want the look or the range. On the DC side every version takes 150kW, giving 10 to 80 per cent in about 28 minutes. Battery pre-conditioning is standard and Toyota says it holds that charging time at temperatures as low as minus 10, which is the sort of claim that actually matters in February.

Space, and Being Straight About It

The boot holds 416 litres measured including the space under the deck board, which Toyota says takes two 82 litre suitcases. The rear seats split 60:40, though the backrests do not fold completely flat, and there is no storage under the bonnet, so the charging cables live in the boot.

Here is the thing to be honest about, because it is the one real criticism of this car and it comes from the reviewers rather than from us. What Car? gave it four stars instead of five and said plainly that the reason was "the lack of passenger and boot space", listing rear seat room as tight. Auto Express says the same, calling the boot small and oddly shaped and the rear space limited. The C-HR+ has a swooping roofline and it costs you headroom and luggage room. If it is mostly two of you with occasional passengers, none of that will bother you. If you have teenagers and a dog, look at the bZ4X, which is 160mm longer with a bigger boot, and we will price both.

Toyota's Battery Guarantee

This is genuinely one of the strongest in the industry and it is worth understanding properly. The battery itself carries an 8 year or 100,000 mile manufacturer warranty. On top of that, Toyota's Battery Care programme guarantees the battery will retain at least 70 per cent of its original capacity for up to 10 years or one million miles, whichever comes first.

The condition is the part people drop: that cover depends on an EV traction battery health check being carried out at each qualifying scheduled service by an authorised Toyota repairer. Miss the servicing and you lose it. The vehicle warranty works the same way, starting at 3 years or 60,000 miles and extending by 12 months or 10,000 miles with each eligible Toyota service, up to a maximum of 10 years or 100,000 miles.

C-HR+ on Business

As a fully electric car the C-HR+ sits in the lowest company car tax band, which is why it often works out very differently through a business than privately. Those bands change each tax year and are rising, so take the current figures from your accountant rather than from any website. Tell us which grade you are looking at and we will give you the official range and CO2 on that exact derivative alongside the rental. If the C-HR+ is more car than you need, the smaller Urban Cruiser sits a segment below it, and the rest of Toyota's electric range is worth comparing on the same mileage.
