- The Toyota C-HR Hybrid is a compact SUV with a really striking design plus some excellent hybrid technology. While it used to be offered with a manual transmission, four-wheel drive and a 1.2-litre petrol engine, the revised 2019 C-HR is now only available with 1.8-litre or 2.0-litre hybrid option.
Fuel economy for the CH-R Hybrid is impressive, as are its CO2 emissions. The 1.8-litre claims an official figure of up to 58.9mpg & the 2.0-litre hybrid can manage 54.3mpg.. Those figures mean that even if you do a lot of miles, you no longer need to buy a diesel engine. The combination of hybrid power and an automatic gearbox makes it ideal for urban driving as well.
All new C-HRs come with LED auto headlights and LED daytime running lights. You also get some really smart alloy wheels, a reversing camera, adaptive cruise control and a good sized eight-inch touchscreen. The car gets a DAB radio, Bluetooth & Apple CarPlay as well as Android mirroring, all of which are now standard.
As it’s a conventional hybrid rather than a plug-in, the batteries are charged by the engine or from energy harnessed whilst you are driving. Around town you’ll be cruising around silently on battery power alone at low speeds, however, go faster and the C-HR's petrol engine kicks in seamlessly thanks to the Power Split Device.
While the 1.8-litre version is not very quick (0-62mph takes 11 seconds), the C-HR handles very nicely indeed, blending a good ride with responsive handling. It’s the new 2.0-litre hybrid power train that impressed us the most. There’s more performance with 182bhp and a much better 0-62mph time of 8.2 seconds. It’s the extra muscle from this power train that provides more effortless acceleration and its more refined.There are additional tweaks to the suspension and the steering on the 2.0-litre hybrid, to account for its extra weight.
If you are thinking of buying one, Toyota’s strong five-year or 100,000-mile warranty, stands it in good stead, as does its five-star Euro NCAP safety rating. Residual values look excellent and reliability is virtually guaranteed thanks to Toyota being the World leader in Hybrid technology.

We've got the exact same car collected in April after waiting for just 3 weeks delivery from Turkey... Love the Orange Edition.
Nice car! I must say that model looks nicer than the models we have available in the US.
I managed to buy a very rare 6-speed manual model (in Australia), first series. I love it, great car.
Mine is red color 2020 model!I love it❤️❤️it’s really safe and soft to drive not to big and not to small “even driven the hills am not scared anymore 😅
I like my Toyota chr 2020! I love driving it.
My misses bought it, love driving it. Great car in overall
I have just ordered a C-HR thank you for your review
Thanks for the comment
Lovely car. Nice drive.
Lol At 7:47..."that's my audience - i could only get a few horses today".Great video and thank you for your classic humor. Much appreciated kind Sir. Definitely my next car within 8 mts I hope.
Thanks for the comment always appreciated
Great review cruise control easy though
The hybrid battery is warranted for 5 years and, if Toyota servicing is keep up, for 15 years so no worries there. From reports on the Prius etc they do last well, so not a concern until many miles and years have passed.
The gearbox is a CVT, with 6 "pretend" gears, and is annoying when you put your foot down but, to be honest, you learn to live with it. The best way to drive it is in a layed back way, getting up to speed and then just let the car get on with it giving good economy.
The cruise control is also annoying until you get used to it. A short press begins in the active cruise control, keeping distance from the car in front but only goes in 5mph increments, a longer press gives a normal cruise control where you can set it in 1mph increments and I tend to use this all the time.
To sum up the car for me it is ideal for two, with the option of carrying a couple more in the back of required. Economical - I can get 60mpg on a run keeping to the speed limits, rather than trying to drive for economy, and 40+ around town. Toyota are famed for their reliability, and with the 5 year warranty I should be covered anyway. The main advantage for me though is that it is totally at odds with my normal boring image and people don't believe that I actually bought one 😎
In Australia, we have what is known as C-HR Koba Hybrid 1,8 Liter. I will be going for that as my next car. Thank you for your review.
Thanks for the comment, always appreciated
Toyota batteries are guaranteed for ten years, plus if you have a battery check at the service interval you get another year.
Do you think the interior material quality and sound insulation are at a premium level?
Hi, love the review easy to listen and not cheeky annoying reviewer.
May i pls request if you can review the Toyota Rav 4 2.5 hybrid.
Thank you and make it happen☺️
Many thanks for your comment here is a link to the raffle that we reviewed a few months ago th-cam.com/video/s_VaPwK4vxs/w-d-xo.html
Meant RAV4 not Raffle 🤣
@@AJThePlayerTH-camChannel thank so much hehe not raffle for sure. All the best. Ill check it out.
how is this video 1080p and 144p at the same time?
And how can you "set the colours up around you?" would love to know.
Thought CHR meant coupe high rider maybe wrong
Actually AJ, C-HR stands for 'Coupe High Rider'. I know because I've owned one for two and-a-half years now.
That’s what I meant to say😂thanks for the comment
Just bought one of these, the 'Design' version, I think Toyota have been down right mean regarding power points, one USB and one 12v socket which for some stupid reason is in the centre console......considering it cost £32,000 that's down right mean. It replaced an eight year old Kia Sportage, an excellent vehicle, that managed two 12v sockets and a USB. Rear passenger considerations, as far as we are concerned, aren't a problem because I think whilst having the Sportage we carried rear passengers about four times and they were only short journeys
Didnt even mention the lane keep assistant. Pretty important if you speak 5 minutes about the cruise stock.
I don’t use cruise control- and I do not require all the high tech most want on vehicles, bringing the price of vehicle even much more🤪
Please keep in mind that this 50% increase in range they falsely advertise, does not mean that regenerative braking will give an 50% range increase! This isn’t going to bump your range from 100 miles to 150 miles. This simply means that 50% of the kinetic energy lost during the act of braking can be turned back into acceleration later.
It is important to realize that on its own, regenerative braking isn’t a magical range booster for Hybrid vehicles. It doesn’t make Hybrid vehicles more efficient per set, it just makes them less inefficient.
Realistically, Regen in Hybrid will boost up to 5% increase in range only in rural areas and Not in motorways. In highways regen gives you No boost in range at all! Too expensive too!!
do you get a lot of wind/road noise at high speed?
We have a 2018 CHR & yes you get wind noise around door mirrors however you notice it because the car is overall very quiet
Really liked this review. I’ve just bought one and I like it. Here in Doha there’s a full sized spare in the back end. Sorted. Everyone is saying ‘only one USB ?!” True. But why not get a double lighter-adapter that sits in the central glove box, and you can charge 3 phones/devices at one time. Sorted. I rented one for a week, thought the cruise control was great, especially on a speed-camera-covered motorway system in Greece. Sorted. Toyota has been making the Prius for how many years now… hybrid is the future.
Great informative comment thanks
Which one is best the Toyota CHR gr 1.8 hybrid 2021 or the new Volkswagen t rock r line 1.5 Petrol ?
Toyota by far.
With the battery, did you know that you just give someone jump up baterry help if their car also is a HYBRID???
Why didn't you show us how the cruise control comes on? Thanks anyway 😅
This car is good for me because I am the only one that uses it, no kids.
Facts I let my girl ride in it that’s it
The engine sounds like its over-revving itself because it's a CVT. But you knew that right.
In Australia since January 2020 all Toyota hybrids have a 10 year battery warranty
Great to know thanks for the comment
the one usb and the to small phone place, was forgivable in the first years model...
this is the 3-4 version... and a double 2.1A USB a place for phone's up to 7 inch with optional wireless charging should be not to much to ask..
Thanks for the comment, appreciated
If you live in the city in the Northeast, you don’t want anyone to see what’s in your trunk. So you want to keep that trunk cover.
👍
Also I love toyota, but Volvo do the best seats imo, then SAAB, the C-HR seats are OK at best.
Six speed gearbox in a hybrid?
😂
i don´t quite consider this a family car,very small for a family ,maybe for a couple
Where is the spare tire?
As many cars, it hasn't a spare tire.
You are way out with your service prices and also tyre price.
love my chr u r a sad mizrbl frt!!!
😆
This orange is actually red
toyota say not to jump swtart one of these
My wife has the 2litre model with excel trim ,apparently the 2litre model has a Nicad battery and the 1.8 litre model has a lithium battery for the hybrid systems the newer type ecvt is better than the belt driven type . But overall it’s overpriced for what it is and not really a family car due to
Lack of cargo and storage space hate that shiny black finish on the console will easily scratch plus 12volt battery had to be put in the boot area
Because lack of space in engine bay so floor area in 2litre model is slightly higher than the 1.8 litre .
Would made more sense if this came on the market as an all electric car with a better designed interior it’s already outdated.
100% not a family car!
60 to 80 pounds per tyre. Ha, you are having a giraffe, try 150 to 165. Must do better!
CVT not 6 speed
that horse freak me out
🤣thanks for the comment
We decided to not buy the car, due to the excessive piano black used in this car. It maybe looks nice in the showroom, but it is a magnet of fingerprints and dust. It just looks awful in real life. The second reason is the claustrophobic feeling on the back seats. Not only the tinted windows are the problem, but the black top cover, which seem to be a trend now in the car industry (really sick and unpractical). What is wrong with the designers? I felt myself on the back seats like in a coffin. It is the same in Mazda 3, in Yaris Cross and in many others with a black top cover.
I was looking at this car to buy this week and toyota offers 10y warranty now. But I am afraid of those back seats coz I have 2 small childer age 5 and 3. Rav4 is bigger but for me a uglier
I am planning to buy one ,in case you bought it , are those back seat good enough for kids
@@martsalobsang5413 no, tbh horrible. I test drive it and gave up. I still love the car, but I would only buy it as 2nd car for city drive and that's it
He copies @Mat Whatson
And giving a car a jump start in a hybrid.... do your homework sir!
i own a 2019 c-hr gle. it is the most utterly piece of crap. after 2 years of ownership and 40k miles it makes me wish i had bought a yugo!
spacious: somewhat
good mileage?? not in the least. my 1990 suzuki samurai gave 45/50 miles to the gallon.
battery is out in less than 2 years, so were the tires which lasted about 38k miles.
noises from low workmanship. it has them all. currently, in slow turns, the steering system cracks, rattles and moans constantly. and then there is the ever bubbling sound after it gets warmed up. what did the dealership service department say all and every time i took the car for inspection? they said that there was nothing wrong with the car. a yugo's the way to go.
suspension. it bottoms up every time with the slightest depression on the road. the front absorbers (struts or rubber bands or whatever they use to deal with this) is so horrendous and the japanese mechanic at the dealership says there is nothing wrong with the suspension. a yugo is the way to go!
i am telling you guys and gals, save yourselves the aggravation of a great looking piece of crap and buy yourselves a yugo!! the 80's and 90's yugo that is!
