Meanwhile the previous C-HR model came to the UK during October 2023.
The 2026 model, which is coming to the US, will be a fully electric crossover.
Car buffs will know the C-HR initially arrived Stateside for the 2018 model season - only to be discontinued four years later.
In contrast to the former gas iteration, this new C-HR brings a 74.7-kilowatt-hour battery pack and two electric motors.
This means the vehicle boasts a 388 horsepower - as well as a 0-60 mph time of 5.0 seconds.
Those familiar with the former C-HR will rediscover the familiar four-door coupe set up.
Although this time around, the model features contemporary upgrades alongside a new face.
Interior features include a 14-inch touchscreen, 4G Wi-Fi hotspot and wireless Apple CarPlay.
As of writing, Toyota has not yet unveiled cost details for the new 2026 Toyota C-HR.
It is not the first time the car giants have brought back a former model with a new twist.

Last year, Toyota delighted drivers with plans to bring back The Urban Cruiser.
These plans came ten years after the forgotten model had been discontinued.
The Japanese manufacturer's second electric, it was expected to rival the Volvo EX40, Peugeot e-3008 and Mini Aceman.
The Urban Cruiser was created after Toyota and Suzuki teamed up, making it very similar to Suzuki's e-Vitara.

Aldi launches viral La Vieille Ferme dupe but in a box – and it's much cheaper
Plus, other what other deals you can get your hands on WINE TIME Aldi launches viral La Vieille Ferme dupe but in a box – and it's much cheaper Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ALDI has launched a boxed wine version of the viral La Vieille Ferme for a fraction of the price. Made with picnics in mind, the 1.5 litre tub of wine has hit shelves just in time for the warm weather. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Le Petit Poulet is a fraction of the price of the original La Vieille Ferme 4 La Vieille Ferme Rose Wine was a viral hit on Tiktok last summer Credit: Tesco Arriving in stores today, Le Petit Poulet Rosé Boxed Wine is a pale and citrusy rosé that's straight from the wine region of Provence. And priced at £12.49 it's over £3 cheaper than the original, La Vieille Ferme Rosé Bag in a box, which scans for £15.50 per litre. While traditionally it's been lower grade wines that have been sold in boxes, expert Sam Caporn says boxes now have a much greater variety of wines on offer. He's urged Brits to give boxed wine a go, calling it a more affordable way to drink as the beverage stays fresh for longer. Read more on Money NO SHOW Piers Morgan reveals he turned down big money reality TV show just last week He said: 'Boxed wines have many advantages. For example, boxed wine can stay fresh for considerably longer than bottled. 'There is usually a price advantage too, as you're not paying for heavy or expensive glass. And lastly, boxed wine tastes no different to bottled!' It's not just rosé that Aldi has got on offer but a collection of red and white boxed wines too. White-wine drinkers will be thrilled to know that the Cambala Sauvignon is scanning for just £13.99. Meanwhile, an intense Shiraz is flying off the shelves for as little as £13.99 for 2.25L. This comes just days after Aldi slashed the price of some of its fanciest wine to just £10 as part of a brilliant bargain sale. Copycat Meghan's new rosé wine is yet ANOTHER attempt to stay relevant The retailer is slashing the price as part of a sale to mark English Wine Week. Saving 44 per cent per bottle shoppers will be treated to Aldi's premium Winemaster's Lot English Sparkling Wine for just £9.99. Without the discount the bottle would set back shoppers a massive £17.96. The deal will be available in stores for the duration of English Wine Week from the 19th-25th of June. Julie Ashfield, Chief Commercial Officer at Aldi UK, said: 'English Wine Week is a great moment to showcase the quality of British winemaking. "With a saving of 44% on our Winemaster's Lot English Sparkling Wine, we're making it easier than ever for shoppers to enjoy exceptional, award-winning English wine at unbeatable prices.' English Wine Week is an annual national event that celebrates the English wine industry. Several retailers, restaurants and vineyards participate in the event, offering up cheap English wines to customers. This year Aldi will be serving up multiple bottles from their collection to mark the event. 4 Aldi has also launched an intensely rich Shiraz

Neighbours ready to ‘go to war' over parking spaces as council chiefs plan new houses
PARKING PLIGHT Neighbours ready to 'go to war' over parking spaces as council chiefs plan new houses Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) RESIDENTS living in a Scots street say a new housing development will spark parking wars among neighbours. Edinburgh Council has received plans for eight new build flats with parking provisions, a bike shelter, as well as a front and back garden in Wester Hailes from Prospect Housing. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Plans have been lodged for a new housing development but residents are up in arms 2 The flats will be built on the site of the car park that the locals already use However the plans have caused outrage amongst current residents because the flats will be built on the site of the car park they already use. Locals also fear that, as well as a shortage of parking spaces, the community's rat problem will worsen and there are added concerns the bus stop will be removed. Residents have lodged 22 objections to the city's planning department. The application says 20 parking spaces will be lost but nine new spaces will be added. However, that is little comfort to residents. Maria Clark, 56, fears the shortage of spaces could lead to violence. She told Edinburgh Live: 'The car park is full every night from 4pm. Take it away and I worry we wont be able to park outside. 'It could lead to fighting and resentment amongst neighbours. The plans show there are not enough parking provisions." 'We need our vehicles for our jobs. Our insurance won't cover us unless it is outside of our house and we don't want to pay for extra coverage during a cost of living crisis. 'The rat problem is already horrendous around here and when they start digging, it will get even worse. I've written in both times to object. 'My grandson is also asthmatic and I worry about his health with the dust and pollution. With big lorries coming into the area, I also worry about the young kids and animals. Bumbling 'arsonists' who try to set fire to a house accidentally set their getaway car ablaze as they try to escape 'We all fear the bus stop in front of the development will also have to be moved and that will impact the elderly and disabled. There are so many better areas to build locally than a car park we all rely on. 'I do not feel like we are being listened to.' Another worried resident said she is concerned about overcrowding. Se said: 'We are already having issues, it is rammed and a nightmare,' they said. 'We are all for affordable housing but the placement of this development isn't great. 'There are big fields opposite and the site of the closed old folks home. We are worried about the street overcrowding. 'It feels like they are just trying to squeeze folk in to solve the housing emergency.' Planning documents state: 'The structure will measure approximately 15 meters in height and the materials shall be comprised of facing brick, dark grey tiles, zinc roofs, zinc cladding and glazed coloured brick. The proposed building line will extend from the neighbouring residential building to the east, angling towards Clovenstone Road to the west. 'Public open space in the form of communal gardens have been designed to the rear of the building, while private gardens for the two ground floor flats will be provided at the front of the site. 'The application also includes boundary treatments and new landscaping to the west of the site. This will incorporate the development of the existing vehicle parking area, the introduction of a new tarmac surface, and the provision of secure bike stores for 20 bicycles.' Prospect was approached for comment.
