Toyota C-HR+ Leasing

Your Toyota C-HR+ leasing decision

Intelligent Vehicle Finance arranges Toyota C-HR+ business and personal leasing. The plus sign identifies a separate battery-electric SUV, not a trim of the C-HR hybrid. Compare Icon, Design and Excel around your charging routine, passengers and equipment, then confirm the battery and wheel specification of the car quoted.

The plus sign changes the whole enquiry

Someone searching for a C-HR may be considering Toyota’s hybrid or plug-in hybrid. The C-HR+ is a separate fully electric vehicle with its own body, cabin and technical specification. Keep those routes distinct when comparing cars or requesting a quote. A document headed C-HR without the plus sign may be describing a different powertrain altogether.

We would assess the C-HR+ for a business or private driver who wants an electric SUV but still places everyday usability ahead of a headline specification. Test the rear seating and loading space, and check the visibility you need for familiar roads. Its coupe-influenced appearance makes a physical passenger trial especially useful; do not assume the roofline tells you either how spacious or restrictive the cabin will feel.

If you cannot identify a reliable place to charge, resolve that before choosing a battery or grade. The separate C-HR hybrid route may answer that situation more directly. If your priority is larger loads, compare bZ4X rather than expecting the C-HR+ name alone to tell you where it sits. The right shortlist starts with your travel and parking arrangements.

Toyota C-HR+ leasing: key facts

• Toyota’s UK C-HR+ range is fully electric and front-wheel drive; the C-HR hybrid is a separate model.
• UK Icon uses a 57.7 kWh gross battery; Design and Excel use 77 kWh, per Toyota’s March 2026 press pack.
• Toyota lists 123 kW for Icon and 165 kW for Design and Excel; match the complete UK derivative.
• UK Excel has a 22 kW onboard AC charger; Icon and Design have 11 kW. The electricity supply can limit actual power.
• Toyota’s conditional vehicle warranty can extend to ten years or 100,000 miles through qualifying servicing; initial manufacturer cover and battery protection are separate.
• GOV.UK: zero-emission company-car BiK is 4% in 2026/27, rising to 9% in 2029/30.

Compare the Toyota C-HR+ options

Toyota C-HR+ and two alternatives: choosing by use

These are different vehicle choices, not equivalent offers. Confirm the exact specification and contract terms before comparing quotations.

Toyota C-HR+ business lease: Icon, Design and Excel

Toyota’s UK launch material and March 2026 press pack describe Icon with a 57.7kWh gross battery, and Design and Excel with 77kWh. The UK versions are front-wheel drive. Do not import an overseas all-wheel-drive specification into a UK C-HR+ enquiry. The version sold in another country may share a name without sharing its equipment or drivetrain.

IVF’s capture on 28 September 2026 contains Icon labelled 123kW 58kWh, Design 165kW 77kWh and Excel 165kW 77kWh. Separate rows mention 20-inch wheels for Design and JBL/panoramic-roof equipment for Excel. The rounded Icon catalogue battery label is consistent with a naming convention, not evidence of an extra battery option. Obtain the full technical description before comparing proposals.

Choose Icon around its actual energy needs and standard equipment, rather than treating a smaller battery as automatically insufficient. Design and Excel share the larger published battery but differ in equipment. If most days involve modest travel and predictable parking, features you use regularly may matter more than a maximum-range claim. Longer, less predictable travel makes the charging plan and exact derivative more central.

AC charging: when the onboard charger matters

Toyota lists an 11kW onboard AC charger for Icon and Design and a 22kW unit for Excel. Those are vehicle capabilities, not a statement that a home installation will provide those outputs. Ask an installer to assess the available supply. A higher onboard limit only helps when the charge point and electrical connection can support it.

Think about where the car stands for several hours. Workplace or destination charging can make a different capability useful, whereas a lower-power overnight home supply may not exploit it. Ask about connection type, access arrangements and any separate charging fees at the sites you expect to use. Do not assume a hotel or office has usable charging simply because a map shows a point nearby.

For DC stops, check the supplied car’s supported charging specification and battery-conditioning instructions. A maximum power figure is a brief capability under suitable conditions rather than a constant session average. Keep a reserve for cold weather and an alternative charger on unfamiliar routes. We make no single range or charge-duration promise here for all five catalogue entries and their different wheels or equipment.

Choose wheels and equipment around the car you use

A Design on optional 20-inch wheels should be compared with the standard-wheel car on ride, tyre requirements and the certified technical data. The visual preference is valid, but it belongs alongside those practical differences. Do not carry a range or efficiency figure from one wheel arrangement to another without checking its scope.

Excel’s equipment may appeal if parking support, seat adjustment or other convenience functions solve a recurring problem. Ask for a demonstration of the exact features on the proposed model year. An optional audio-and-roof pack is another decision: try rear-seat headroom, cabin light and controls before selecting it because it appears on a catalogue row.

For a household sharing the car, test profile changes and phone connections with both drivers. For a company car, check how personal information and app access will be removed at return. These are ordinary ownership tasks that can be missed when attention stays on batteries. The quotation should record the chosen options so a later substitute car can be compared accurately.

Warranty, launch status and a clear proposal

Toyota announced UK sales from 6 January 2026 and customer deliveries from March. Its current UK material and the IVF grid therefore describe a launched model, but that is not confirmation of a particular vehicle’s supply. Ask IVF for the actual proposal and timing rather than carrying a manufacturer launch schedule into your individual enquiry.

Toyota’s published vehicle protection starts with an initial manufacturer warranty and can be extended through qualifying servicing, up to ten years or 100,000 miles under the programme’s conditions. Battery cover and the Battery Care programme have different conditions and health-check requirements. Confirm the supplied car’s registration date and the relevant terms. Do not describe all that protection as one unconditional ten-year warranty.

For a business decision, put the exact P11D beside the annual BiK percentages. Icon, Design and Excel can share a zero-emission classification while creating different taxable benefits because list values differ. Options also need to be accounted for correctly. The percentage path is a starting point for the accountant’s calculation, not an estimate of the whole contract cost.

Tell IVF whether the C-HR+ will be your household’s main car or a business vehicle with occasional private journeys. Include annual mileage, charging access, preferred grade and any wheel or roof requirement. Ask for a comparison with the separate C-HR only if you are genuinely reconsidering propulsion; otherwise compare electric alternatives on the same use case and contract assumptions.

Toyota C-HR+ company-car tax across the lease

C-HR+ is a zero-emission electric car for the company-car percentage path below. That is a different starting point from the C-HR hybrid or plug-in hybrid. Keep the exact model identity on the payroll record, and include the supplied grade and options in the P11D calculation rather than assuming every Toyota carrying C-HR in its name is equivalent.

For private availability to an employee or director, P11D multiplied by the annual BiK percentage gives the starting taxable benefit; personal tax then depends on income tax rate and adjustments. Sole traders follow different rules.

Company-car BiK benchmarks, 2026/27 to 2029/30

Use our company-car BiK guide alongside HMRC’s 2026/27 and 2027/28 tables and the published 2028/29 and 2029/30 changes. Checked 28 September 2026 against the C1 ledger and primary sources. Individual circumstances matter; tax can change. Consult your accountant.

Road tax and costs across the term

Vehicle Excise Duty (VED). In 2026/27, annual VED after year one is £200 before any supplement. First-year tax follows certified CO2; zero-emission cars pay £10. These are current cash rates, not confirmed future-year amounts. Ask how the funder handles later increases.

Expensive Car Supplement. The 2026/27 supplement is £440 annually for five years from the second licence. It applies above a pre-discount list price of £40,000 for petrol, diesel and hybrids, or £50,000 for qualifying zero-emission cars registered from 1 April 2025. Include relevant options and check registration. Check GOV.UK vehicle-tax rules.

Planned eVED. Government plans eVED alongside VED from April 2028: 3p per mile for electric cars and 1.5p for plug-in hybrids. It is not currently in force and remains subject to legislation and implementation. CPI uprating is planned from 2029/30; later cash rates are unconfirmed. Ask the funder how introduction and increases would affect your agreement. Read the consultation response.

VAT and the business accounts

VAT-registered businesses can normally reclaim 50% of the VAT on qualifying car rentals where private use is available, depending on circumstances and the normal VAT rules. Full rental-VAT recovery requires exclusive business use with no private availability. Maintenance can fall outside the rental block when it is genuinely optional, separately described in the contract and separately quantified on the invoice; recovery remains subject to normal VAT rules. Read HMRC’s motoring VAT guidance.

Businesses using the VAT Flat Rate Scheme do not normally recover input VAT on recurring car hire. The separate capital-goods exception does not turn hire invoices into a vehicle purchase. Check HMRC’s Flat Rate Scheme guidance.

A zero-emission car is not subject to the CO2-based lease-rental restriction. Check HMRC’s car-hire deduction rules.

For accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026, revised FRS 102 generally requires a right-of-use asset and lease liability for lessees, including small companies using Section 1A. FRS 105 lease accounting for eligible micro-entities was not changed in the same way. Contract hire therefore does not universally keep a car off the balance sheet. Ask your accountant to apply the right framework; HMRC summarises the accounting standards.

Build the quotation around the way you will use it

Tell IVF your annual mileage, regular passengers, essential equipment, charging access where relevant and preferred timing. Ask for the precise model year, derivative, options and registration status to be written into the quotation. The catalogue is a starting point; the offered vehicle and funder terms need confirmation.

Business Contract Hire is taken by the business; Personal Contract Hire is taken by the private individual. Both are subject to status and individual funder criteria. Compare the initial rental, term, mileage, maintenance and applicable fees on the same basis. An initial rental is part of the hire cost, not refundable security or ownership equity.

A manufacturer warranty starts under the supplied car’s warranty terms, normally from first registration. Its time and mileage limits may finish before your lease does. It is separate from optional servicing and tyre cover. Confirm maintenance inclusions, insurance responsibilities, tax provisions and early-termination terms before signing.

At the end of contract hire, return the vehicle; there is no contractual purchase option. Excess mileage, damage beyond the funder’s fair wear and tear standard, missing equipment or other contractual charges may still be payable. Check the return process before choosing your agreement.
