C-HR is built on the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) platform, which ensures a more rewarding driving experience. A low center of gravity and double-wishbone rear suspension contribute to outstanding stability and handling with exceptional ride comfort. Available with a 1.8-litre VVT-i full-hybrid powertrain and automatic CVT transmission, the vehicle meets all the requirements of daily commutes and weekend leisure journeys while offering peace of mind through its comprehensive array of safety features.

 

The all-new C-HR’s high-quality interior is designed to delight the most discerning drivers. Exuding a genuine sense of luxury and refinement, the cabin offers an elegant contrast between curving surfaces and crisp lines to deliver a fresh, yet comfortable environment. The sleek control panel features a 4.2-inch colour LCD Multi-Information Display with an onboard multimedia system. The user-friendly controls are complemented by ample storage capabilities, ultra-supportive seats and a dual-mode air conditioning system which ensures the utmost comfort and convenience for drivers and their passengers.

 

The hybrid-electric model comes with all the benefits expected of the world’s most proven and advanced hybrid-electric technology, yet drives like any other conventional car, offering remarkable fuel efficiency at 23.9km/l with zero compromise on performance. It is powered by a petrol engine that delivers 97 hp and a peak torque of 142 Nm, working in tandem with an electric motor that churns out 72 hp of power and 16.6 Kg-m of torque. The hybrid-electric powertrain is equipped with a small, light and powerful lithium-ion battery pack that can efficiently absorb and deliver current, enhancing the electric motive force delivery.
