All-New Toyota C-HR: take an in-depth look at our stylish SUV
Hello and welcome to this exclusive tour of the features and details of the all-new Toyota C-HR. I’m Esme and I’m Frankie and today, we’ve got the pleasure of introducing you to this brilliant new SUV. With its sleek, eye-catching looks it’s a car that really dares to be different.
Yeah, this is the car for those looking for something more than the norm. The sharp design is mixed with a range of advanced hybrid engines – and a premium look and feel for the interior. It’s sophisticated, sporty and its cutting-edge technology is really easy to use.
The bold colour choices and unique bi-tone designs make a big statement. And on top of that, there’s interior lighting you can make your own… and a clean, responsive infotainment system that is super customisable. The seats are also great, offering a range of gorgeous fabrics and materials.
There’s more on all of that on the Toyota.co.uk website… and with its extensive list of options the all-new Toyota C-HR offers personalisation like never before, allowing you to choose options and accessories that work best for you. That’s exactly it. This car is ALL about fitting seamlessly into a busy life – combining
Practicality, comfort and space as well as the latest safety systems and easy-to-use technology. So, it looks great, it’s got loads of cool tech, there are hybrid engines that deliver low running costs and it’s got some amazing safety systems that make life a bit easier… Yeah, that’s the need to know. But let’s take
A closer look at why the new C-HR should be your next car. First, let’s talk style… With its distinctive looks, the original C-HR turned heads, but – let’s be honest – this new model takes it up a notch.
Up front, there are these bright LED lights that add a touch of class to the sleek, clean outline. These door handles blend seamlessly into the bodywork, and are another sign of Toyota’s commitment to innovation and design, and yes, those big alloy wheels do look great.
And just look how stunning this two-tone paint finish is, extending all the way to the back of the car to create a bold sharp look. What do you think Frankie? I love that, it really makes the car stand out. It really does, but I’ll tell you one of my
Particular highlights. Check this out… The rear light bar. Lights please! The red light across the back looks really smart, and with the illuminated logo in the middle, it really stands out at night. In the meantime, the cabin is every bit as good as the outside to look at,
With loads of room for driver and passengers, and a layout that’s designed to wrap around you for that sporty feel. The quality is top-notch, and the ambient lighting gives you a stylish glow at night, which you can change to suit your mood as well.
There’s no fumbling around for the controls, either; everything is within easy reach, and phone integration with the infotainment system is absolutely seamless. The driver also gets a digital combimeter that’s the same size as the main touchscreen and can be also be customised with different
Displays that are all clear and easy to read without being distracting. How’s it looking in the back Esme? Well, I have to say, it’s pretty bright and spacious back here too. I love the glass roof you get on top-spec models, it really helps
To open the car up and gives those in the back something to get excited about too. Comfort is great, and headroom isn’t compromised by the panoramic roof. I’m 5’7” and there’s plenty of head and legroom. If you’ve got small kids, then there are two sets of Isofix child seat mounts back here,
Which will be easy to access via the wide-opening rear doors. Plus, any backseat passengers who need to keep their devices charged have access to a USB socket too, so that should keep things quiet. All those back-seat features will come in handy on long journeys,
That is for sure, and so will the big boot. It’s always a bit of a challenge to pack for holidays, but there’s more space in the back of the C-HR than ever before, meaning you can fit in the holiday essentials.
Staying connected is essential, these days – I don’t think I could cope if I didn’t have my phone with me – and the C-HR’s got you covered with Toyota Smart Connect Plus and the MyToyota app, which is available for Apple and Android phones.
On selected models, the C-HR comes with a massive 12.3-inch screen, and there’s sat-nav built-in that’s super easy to use. Everything looks sharp and it’s quick to come up with the ideal route for your journey. You can also hook up your phone wirelessly so you can use your apps while your phone
Is in your pocket. Or while it’s charging on this fancy wireless charging pad here. There’s voice control, too, so you can change the temperature or fan speed, make calls, switch the radio on and lots more besides. Check this out: “Hey Toyota, call Frankie.” “Not now, I’m busy…”
There are online services, too, which can keep you updated on local traffic, while the MyT app can pinpoint where you parked your car. If you’ve ever forgotten where you left your car in a multi-storey car park, then this makes life so much easier.
And for anyone who has walked away from a car and worried about whether they have locked it or not, this is the App for you… It lets you know if the car has been left unlocked, and if it is you can lock it remotely, too.
And one more feature that’s really amazing… if it’s a particularly hot or cold day, the app will also let you schedule the climate control, so the cabin temperature is just right when you get in the car. Hybrid technology is a big deal at Toyota,
And the C-HR comes with a choice of engines, including self-charging or plug-in hybrid. Remind me again, what’s the difference between a self-charging hybrid and a plug-in hybrid? Well, the big difference is that the plug-in model gets an extra socket on the side where it can be charged from the mains supply.
With the plug-in hybrid system, there’s 212 horsepower, but that socket charges a bigger battery that offers up to 41 miles of all-electric range. Keep the battery fully charged at home or a public charging point, and you could go weeks without visiting a petrol station.
But, Toyota knows that not everyone can charge at home. That’s where a self-charging hybrid comes in handy. It seamlessly switches between electricity and petrol power so all you need to do is drive. And thanks to the decades of hybrid experience that Toyota has, the latest C-HR delivers the most enjoyable drive yet.
The 1.8-litre hybrid has 140 horsepower which will be fine for most users. But if you’re after a bit more power, then the 2.0-litre hybrid comes with a healthy 200 horsepower. No matter which one you go for, both hybrids are capable of returning up to 50 mpg.
The plug-in hybrid really appeals to me. I only ever do short trips around town, and I usually have to go out of my way to find a petrol station, so if I can charge up at home I think
I’d try and see how much driving I could do on electric power alone before the engine fired up! Sounds like a challenge that the C-HR would be happy to take on! Even better is the fact that the hybrid tech is so easy to use – just press the Start button,
And you’re ready to roll. It’s the ideal choice for drivers looking to reduce their CO2 emissions, but aren’t quite ready to make the leap to a full EV. OK, let’s talk safety. The Toyota C-HR has got your back with its Safety Sense tech. Yep, absolutely. Toyota Safety Sense is there to watch over
You and your passengers for added peace of mind. Things like lane-change assist warn you about blind spots, or Safe Exit Assist uses those LED interior lights for more than style – they light up in warning colours if you’re about to open a door into traffic.
Safety first, right? I like how it’s designed to make your life easier, warning you of hazards that you might not have seen. Having lane change assist as a backup when on a busy motorway feels like it would be a huge peace of mind!
So, there you have it, the all-new Toyota C-HR. It’s got style, practicality and efficiency all wrapped up in one gorgeous package. If you’re someone who wants a stylish family SUV that makes a statement and offers lots of neat features and user-friendly details, you can’t really go wrong.
And don’t just take our word for it. The C-HR has had some great reviews from experts across the board. Frankie, where do I go next if I want to find out some more? Well, I suggest that anyone interested head over to your nearest Toyota Centre to try a C-HR out for yourself.
