Estimates from usable battery size and the car's max charge rates (11kW AC, 130kW DC). Real times vary with temperature, starting charge, charger output and the charging curve.
Feature Showdown
The BMW iX2 features a 10.7-inch touchscreen paired with a 10.3-inch digital dash, while the Toyota C-HR gets a 12.3-inch display and 7-inch instruments. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across both.
The BMW iX2 stands out with head-up display, wireless charging, heated front seats, power tailgate and Harman Kardon audio — features our data doesn't list for the Toyota C-HR. Which feature set matters more depends on your daily routine and priorities.
Interior trim differs: the BMW iX2 gets sensatec synthetic leather upholstery while the Toyota C-HR offers cloth.
Equipment few rivals have, on either carShowHide
Drivetrain
The BMW iX2 uses a Electric producing 230kW and 494Nm of torque, sent through a auto to a AWD layout. It covers the 0-100km/h sprint in 5.6 seconds.
The Toyota C-HR responds with a Petrol making 103kW and 142Nm, paired to a automatic driving the front wheels. It gets to 100km/h in 10.2 seconds.
The BMW iX2 has the clear power advantage at 230kW vs 103kW. In the 0-100 sprint (manufacturer-claimed), the BMW iX2 is 4.6s quicker. For most buyers, the way each car feels day-to-day matters more than outright acceleration.
Space & Comfort
The BMW iX2 measures 4,554mm long on a 2,692mm wheelbase, 192mm longer than the Toyota C-HR at 4,362mm (2,640mm wheelbase). The longer wheelbase on the BMW iX2 generally means more rear legroom.
Boot space is 525L in the BMW iX2 and 388L in the Toyota C-HR, giving the BMW iX2 a 137L advantage.
For towing, the BMW iX2 leads with a 1,200kg braked capacity vs 725kg. That 475kg difference matters if you regularly hitch up.
Neither U-turns in one sweep on a 7 m local street (both need a three-point turn); the Toyota C-HR's turning circle is 2.2 m tighter, 10.4 m against 12.6 m kerb to kerb. The street estimate is indicative, worked from the published turning circles.
Cost to own
At 15,000 km a year, electricity for the BMW iX2 costs about $970 a year (20.2 kWh/100km) and fuel for the Toyota C-HR about $1,140 a year (4 L/100km), at $1.90 a litre and 32c a kWh.
Warranty: 5 years / Unlimited (BMW iX2) and 5 years / Unlimited (Toyota C-HR).
Where each one leads
The BMW iX2: more power (230kW against 103kW), the bigger boot with the seats up (525L against 388L) and the higher braked towing limit (1,200kg against 725kg).
The Toyota C-HR: the lower starting price ($46,940 against $79,900).
The Verdict
Toyota C-HR scores higher, 80 vs 65
The Toyota C-HR scores 80 to the BMW iX2's 65 on the CarSorted Score, and leads 1 of the 6 spec rows that separate them, at the lower price. The biggest gaps: performance (BMW iX2 ahead by 44 points), safety (Toyota C-HR ahead by 33 points). Boot space with the seats up: 525L in the BMW iX2, 388L in the Toyota C-HR.

How to read this page. Prices, specifications, ANCAP ratings, warranty, the CarSorted Score and the verdict come from our records for the grades shown, sourced from the manufacturers' Australian documents, and change when those records change; the date each was last checked is printed under the headline. Prices are recommended retail prices before on-road costs unless marked drive-away. A plug-in hybrid's fuel figure is labelled with its basis: with a full battery (the certified combined figure) or as a hybrid (battery depleted). Charging and running costs are estimates on the stated assumptions. Always confirm price and specification with the manufacturer or dealer before you buy. CarSorted does not accept payment for recommendations.
