The design of the new Toyota C-HR remains faithful to the prototype that was presented at the end of 2022. Its distinctive exterior looks like “a concept car for the road”. Measures have been taken in design and technology to reduce the car’s weight, such as new high-strength steels and a new panoramic roof.

The Toyota C-HR features a new, fully digital 12.3” instrument cluster. The graphics are high resolution and the information clearly spaced and easy to read. It is available with the Toyota Smart Connect multimedia package, which includes (depending on the model version) an 8” or 12.3” touchscreen, integrated voice assistant and wireless smartphone connection via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.

The range includes 1.8 and 2.0-litre hybrid electrified (HEV) versions and a 2.0-litre plug-in hybrid electric (PHEV) model, named Hybrid 140, Hybrid 200 and Plug-in Hybrid 220 respectively. Hybrid 200 will additionally be available with the option of intelligent four-wheel drive (AWD-i).

The suspension, brakes and steering have also been redesigned and tuned to achieve an ideal balance between vehicle stability, ride comfort and responsiveness.

Orders for the new Toyota C-HR for our country are expected to start in early autumn, with the first customer deliveries taking place at the end of the year.
