Have you done a review of chr 1.8 hybrid after facelift?
By the way you are the only channel i trust now that i am looking to buy a car. Really good reviews, keep it that way. Greetings from Greece.

Ich bin brot
I'm interested in the 1.8L model..
Can you do a review?
This guy sounds like a pilot presenting the flight information.
Thank you for flying Autogefühl! 😂
Good reviews!
Great review as always with Thomas, in full HD, full screen and full length.
Totally agree, but I'm also waiting for this channel to go 4K - watching it on a large smart TV screen !
For sure the best car reviews on TH-cam! You cant ask for a much better quality review! Keep it up! :)
I drive this CHR 2.0 Hybrid Business Line pro as lease car , which we can also drive unlimited for private use. Since we drive for the company around 70.000 / 90.000km a year, the car choice was very important for me. I never had much with Toyota, (I owned an Audi A3, Audi A4 Avant, and Chrysler 300C before which are totally different cars) but I really, really love my CHR. The CVT transmission is something you need to get used to regarding the 'noise' in RPM, but you learn a bit how to drive with a CVT once you have it to understand it more. Its a world of difference once you first have it, or once you have driven it for a couple of months.
One thing for sure however, the 2.0 185 HP engine really helps a lot better over the 1.8 and 1.2 lesser engines. I drove a Lexus CT200h in 1.8 with also CVT transmission, and it was a horrible experience in RPM noise. Especially in sports mode! The 2.0 185HP CHR was night and day difference for me. Also Comfort, options, JBL audio, Apple Carplay, handling, material use for interior, for this price point of 34.000 Eur, its really a great car for this price. I preffered it over a VW T-Cross / T-Rock, Lexus CT200h, and the new Golf for sure. Our lease contracts are only 2 years, so next year I might just pick a 2022 Facelift of the CHR again, or perhaps the 2.0 Corolla Touring Sports. :) Really starting to like the new Toyotas. They sure look waaaay better since that new CEO wanted ''no more boring cars''.
Great review as always
This was very informative, the best video on this car I've seen. Thanks 🙏🏿
Love from a Toyota Employee from Brussels.
This helped me choose my company car 😁
He looks like a very efficient assassin from a Jason Bourne Movie..
This is really great review, detailed and most informative. I'm nearly ready to place and order for the 2.0L and thanks to this review I'm certain it's the right car for me right now. Well done and thanks for this review. 👊🏼
thanks! Keep following and subscribe :)
Every time I see this car I am like confused and balanced. I think this review has helped me to understand how nice and why I like it especially the design-wise. As for the interior I think this face lifted C-HR gives me more interest to try it. This is the car you can finally buy for your money. Thank you for the review.
Typically great Thomas engineering/battery/hybrid technical details. And commentary. Thomas explains so well - so much more interesting info than if you studied the Toyota website carefully or visited the dealer! No HUD? Thanks for the German lesson for today. Not keen on a hybrid, prefer a PHEV with long electric range... Great Review Thomas and Jonas, many thanks.
🤗👌
Your reviews are very detailed , i watched other videos your reviews are clear and in detailed. like all your videos.
Welcome! Please recommend us =)
Thank you autogefühl! The new powertrain is interesting and perfectly matched to the sporty design of the vehicle. I think that Toyota should considered an E-four AWD version. In japan even the Corolla sedan is available with all wheel drive option.
Thx Thomas and co. Most informative as always. Really look forward to watching your reviews. Pump it up y'all :-)
😁✌️
Brilliant show. I'm thinking of getting one in July. Thanks
Thanks 🙏
My 1.8 C-HR gets 55 - 60 mpg on the motorway when travelling at 75 - 80 mph, on a good sunny day. Drops to 45 mpg when in to a head wind or its raining hard, etc. I think that is better than a non-hybrid car can achieve... Around town I get around 60 - 65 mpg. My year to date fuel consumption (brim to brim) is running at 50 mpg. Great car for two people and to occasionally carry a couple of passengers
Thanks for the report!
your channel and reviews and camera angles never disappoint (ok some dark interior corners need bit more focus and with light).. but i love this channel for years now.. cause is German but with English and you take your proper time with the car. from outside to inside... from left to right..from front to back.. like if i was going to spend my time in a car in a dealership... actually you do even better job!!! 😎😉🥰 before i buy my leon cupra 300 last year.. i saw few of your reviews...when i went to the dealership i knew the car better than the salesman! showing to him things he didn't even know! was an easy sale for him.. 😁😂
😀✌️
Love the colour. Nice review. Will you be reviewing the new Clio?
nickel metal hydride is chosen for its more consistent performance under greater temperature variances compared to lithium ion.
Still love this car. Will buy it any time soon. But the 1.8 not 2.0. Great review again🙏🙏 please review the 2020 1.8 CHR (or comparison with 2020 Niro)
Brilliant honest review, thank you so much. I collect a 2 litre GR Sport CHR from the dealer on Friday. The suspension and steering have been reworked even more on that version. Maybe you’d like to do a mini review on the GR Sport sometime soon. Once again, many thanks.
Appreciated!
These Belgian licence plates are stunning.
Cool video , do the Lincoln Navigator please
Great video, thank you. I'm thinking of getting one of these. I need comfortable seats due to mobility issues and a lot of pain in my joints. The parking assist is brilliant and it was useful to see how it actually works. Electronic handbrakes scare me but I'm sure I'll get used to it! Is there a DAB facility in the infotainment system?
Nice detailed review, if it is possible please test the headlights at night, i miss these tests from all reviews i have seen, my opinion it is very important to see how they work especially in autumn and winter! Thank You!
Thanks!
Hi! When will you do a review of the 1.8 L version??
Very nice review as allways. Colleagues from Autophorie filming in the background at 13:15, they had the orange edition and she said that the car is also available in a very nice blue colour. Now i know where she saw it 😁
cheers! Yeah =)
Updated 1.8 Hybrid please!
2 litre Hybrid is a minimum. Otherwise, better not get one.
Very good review ,you cover everything perfectly That's what I enjoy German perfection
I actually like the new bumpers and lights. The front bumper looked too simple and flat. Now it's more aggressive with more details and better suits the rest of the car, especially the complex rear part. The rear always reminded me of a Honda Civic 9th- gen. Interesting that they removed the running turn signals and placed them on the rear lights. =)
The tree leaf indentations of the ceiling are cool. The small windows make you feel you are driving an armored car. )))
Not really like the steering wheel and getting inside the rear seat row is kinda hard.
But overall I liked the car when I took the first version on a test-drive and the new updates made it even better. )
That blue colour is so nice; I still prefer saloons and compact hatchbacks over suv.
@Thomas, 5.5 "combined" is very good but when you get it as well when only (!) driving city stop and go traffic (as you do with this hybrid), then it is even more impressive!
Actually here city driving consumes less than highway :)
Are the rims optional or does it comes in the current configuration? Also is there a sunroof available to spec the car? Thank you
I drove outgoing Auris Hybrid for few city journeys and had less than 5 l\100 km. Hybrids really are very effective in the city if you have decent driving style. Also hybrid transmission is the most comfortable for me from all automatics I've tested. The "downside" is that you cannot stop looking at what's going on with hybrid monitor all the time :)
😊
Hey Thomas, what is the C-HR Autogefühl (Fahrgefühl), compere to Toyota RAV4 (e4X4)? Thank you for answer und Grusse.
The 2.0 is a good engine, you can cruise without asking to much to the engine. The 1.8 is always screaming.
i would like you to review the toyota yaris Hybrid Y20 edition. Thank you
Sterling work once again from Thomas and his team. This car wouldn't be big enough for my family, 2 growing teenagers and a large dog. However, I like the C-HR and was intrigued by this new 2 litre model. We will be test driving a RAV 4 soon.
Steve
thanks steve!
I would like to see a stand alone test of the Toyota Corolla 1.8 Hybrid Sedan. And a yes for the test of the C-HR 1.8 Hybrid and more Toyota, or Lexus Hybrids.Especially the ES 300h from Lexus. I hope, other people want to see it too. ^^
Hello, new Toyota C-HR I am very impressed.
That's why mums hate it when doing the school run!
Can we get a review of the Honda Jazz Sport CVT?
What, they still didn't provide you to test drive the already not new Duster?
Given the 20 mph speed limit spreading over London and other urban areas may as well stick with more efficient 1.8L ?
I will keep saying, your channel is the best one for car reviews. Can you please do a review of the new Jaguar XE, please. There is still no proper review on youtube of this car. Although I already tested it and got a bit dissapointed I still want to hear your thoughts on these car. Thank's and hope to see the jag review soon.
thanks !! Not the facelift, but we have a XE review here: th-cam.com/video/hqMd7OsHwno/w-d-xo.html
@@autogefuehl yes I already saw this one. Still asking for the facelift review on all channels xD now is the question, who will be the first?!
@@autogefuehl oh, I thought I deleted that comment. I was too excited and posted the 'welcome to Belgium' comment too early, so awkward
when you are going to make review to kia Xceed ?
We ll note ur wish!
Please review the 1.2 turbo. Manual or CVT
7:34 Hey Autogefuhl
Toyota has used small capacity Lithium ion cells for a couple of years now in the large 7 seat Prius+. While it is more responsive, it's not terribly desirable. It's made much smaller than the NiMH battery so to not change too much in the ECU programming.
A big issue with these minute Li-ion batteries is that because of their size they can cool down very quickly during the night and can't retain their heat like much more massive plug-in batteries. So what happens in cold mornings of 5 degrees Celsius or below is that the Toyota hybrid system locks out the battery from propulsion until it safely heats up again, this can make for rough and uneconomical driving. This is to protect the Li-Ion chemistry where it can become damaged and lose Lithium ions in between the cellular separators, causing capacity loss or denitrification and worst case scenario internal shorting and fire risk.
NiMH cells fare better in cold weather. Li-Ion makes little to no sense when packaged so small without any active thermal management for cold mornings.
interesting !!
Nice closeup shots Jonas. Slam that iris to wide open T1.4 and make it sexy. ;) I think Toyota has a Thomas dummy to access their back seat dimensions... I wonder what else they do with it... hehe
I like the Juke redesign more.
i like it
The only thing I didn't like about the previous generation of C-HR is when you put your foot down it seems to have very high revs, or it sounded like it is struggling to change up a gear. It didn't sound good at all on the motorway or accelerating up to 100kph / 60mph it sounded like it was really in pain. Hopefully they have fixed this. Or maybe its just the way with hybrids.
I would love to see a Kia XCeed review from you.
I would be interested in seeing your channel review the 2020 Toyota Camry Hybrid. It was recently announced that the Toyota Camry with the 2.5L engine is going to have AWD available. Interested in seeing if it is worth the investment. Love your reviews. Lots of useful information and lovely scenery.
Thanks Jen! Here we go: th-cam.com/video/E0JbxOzEuW4/w-d-xo.html
Highly informative review - thank you Thomas! So does the 2.0 have less trunk space than the 1.8 due to the battery fitment? Cause I can fit two large suitcases and two pieces of cabin luggage in my 1.8 C-HR. The trim level with the blue accentuations was removed here in Sweden due to low demand, not really sure about how good that looks. And the details on the inside of the doors look very similar to what I have on my 2018 model, only they are dark brown in mine. I guess the trim levels vary on different markets. You didn't mention anything about the exteriors colours but I believe there's a new red metallic and an orange looking paint as well? Looking forward to hearing more about the updated 1.8 if you get the chance.
By the way, isn't it a bit odd that they removed the cascading turning indicators in the front but added them in the rear instead? O_o
Yes indeed 2.0 less luggage a little, its about the space below under the cover
Hi Thomas. I think you could be more sceptical about the consumption. For a hybrid I think 5.5l/100 is not good today. I would had hoped for figures around
thanks Thomas! yeah could be lower for such a small car, its just that other cars are even worse...
Toyota does this weird thing where it makes a sporty car and gives it barely any oomph. It's a hybrid it has some fuel economy to give up for performance, just give it a sport mode, turn up the acceleration on the electric motor, they did it on the Rav 4. The reason I critique it is because I want it to be perfect, I'm looking at buying the CH-R but they don't have the Hybrid version in the states yet, not sure if they plan to release the hybrid version here.
I think Alfa156 introduced the high mount rear door handles.
Yeah that could be
Wish they never had. There is a reason why door handles in houses usually sit at the same height.
Your camera gimble was making me seasick!! Stop moving it so much haha!!
why its not available in the US
I like the exterior changes, i just wish Toyota would bring those Cool taillight changes to the North America market. I think we get the plain boring rear taillights for 2020.
Nivla Evif 👍👍
You can thank US regulation for that.
@@iamslf Well that's just a real bummer. 😖😞
Thank you for this review too bad you are not talking a lot about the assistance systems (lane assist, traffic jam assist)
I want to know how long you can drive on EV mode (there is a button for that) on this new version of the car and on 1.8l hybrid with li-ion battery
is it the same is it not :)
EV mode on a non-plugin hybrid only ensures that the car runs on electric power whenever possible, that is for very short distances at a time as the battery is relatively small. Thomas says so in this review; the maximum is only 2 km.
1.8 best for me …. I got a GR the suspension is aping sports cars which is counter productive….. a rough ride makes you have to drive slower …. So I might have been better going for a lower spec with softer springs and marginally better mpg, though what I’m getting is double a standard car…
all-new C-HR presentation here at Autogefuehl soon !!
Toyota Aygo X Prologue please!
How would you rate the new ch-r against the cx30 skyactivX? Thanks!
TH-cam search autogefuehl mazda cx-30 to compare!
If I could ask, who would you say is the main two competitors of the CH-R, not in hybrid category but more in the SUV market? Leaving petrol efficiency aside I mean.
see video description or pinned comments for some suggestions with video links :)
I understand you are about 6ft 1, did you have to push the driver seat all the way back? ? I am wondering as I am 6 ft 4.
Not completely
MPG is the whole point of hybrids … so need prius like small wheels … maybe 1.8 turbo for when you need the power?
Saw Thomas filming during my trip in Europe. He was in the middle of a shot so I didn’t bother him. Cool to see since I watch every video from Canada.
C-HR? Mmmhhh, not sure about the offer. Still wondering why Toyota doesn’t come up with a proper electric proposition...
Oh cool when did u see us =)
@@autogefuehl A7 Sportback filming in Aschheim. Yeah, that rainy day. Okay, I admit: I wanted to say hi but it was freezing cold and I had to catch the train back to the airport... :)
what is the capacity of hybrid battery and a way to monitor the health of that?
Watch full length 😀
How much was the fuel consumption of CHR during your testing?
all in the review!
my 1.8 is phenomenal… 65 or 70 mpg quite normally
Thomas. Can you ask Toyota if CarPlay can be added to say my 4month old Corolla?
New buyers right now have it already. The update for current drivers is being worked of. So it will come.
My info is that this is not possible because the USB Slot has a different hardware. But they also said that they were thinking of a solution. However it seems that it is not only a software thing. If you asked your dealer please also put it into a comment here
Autogefühl Thanks for taking the time to reply. Not the info I was hoping for :(
@@paulkerdot To be clear, I got my info from here: www.autoweek.nl/autonieuws/artikel/update-geeft-toyota-corolla-apple-carplay-en-android-auto/ (Dutch)
It says that new buyers need to opt for the 2nd tier option level and then they will get support for both Apple Carplay and Android Auto. If your system is the same as the 1st tier however, I'm not sure if it's upgradable.
I like the car 🚗
difference is hybrids generate free electricity as opposed to environmentally high impact teslas
Love the exterior colour but don’t appreciate the interior blue highlights as it looks a little cheap. Seems to be a popular device as manufacturers chase the youth market. The rear is clearly not a pleasant place to be accentuated by the privacy glass. Toyota seem to have this technology cracked so one could buy with confidence. Finally offering Apple car play but infotainment still a weak point. Thorough review from Thomas as ever but please ban the word get-go. It puts my teeth on edge.
Hi Tomas! Is it true that fuel consumption of this car (on higher speed) is about 15L ?
Not 15 l but definitely higher than usual
@@autogefuehl Thanks for fast response :) . Sorry, not 15 but 12! Here is test of Serbian auto journalist Alexandar Todorovic: (Original) " Čemu služi hibridna tehnologija - da poveća masu i potrošnju? Ponuda prostora na zadnjem sedištu je mala, mesta ima samo za malu decu. Vozne osobine su ubedljivo najgore u klasi, a cena je paprena. Ako odaberete malo bolju opremu, moraćete da idvojite gotovo 30.000 evra. Ako ste ljubitelj Toyote, bolje odaberite zastareli RAV4, ukoliko mislite da ne treba pokloniti poverenje mnogo boljoj Hondi H-RV ili Nissanu Qashqai. Kakva šteta! A automobil izgleda toliko privlačno i originalno! Za dizajn od mene deset plus, a ostale osobine ovog automobila su toliko loše da ne znam koju bi ocenuo mogao da dodelim ovom automobilu, a da budem objektivan.
Neviđena glupost je što je hibrid dostupan samo sa prednjim pogonom. Kapacitet NiMH baterija je 6,5 Ah. Masa vozila je od 1380 do 1460 kilograma zavisno od opreme, a maksimalna brzina vožnje je nešto preko 170 km/h, uz koeficijent otpora vazduha od 0,32, što je prilično veliki otpor vazduha. Test vozač ima masu 98 kilograma, uz visinu 184 cm. Da sam možda lakši 20 kg, prosečna potrošnja mi možda ne bi bila 12 litara, već 11,99 lit na svakih 100 kilometa. Buka pri brzini od 160 km/h je velika i zamorna. Posle par sati vožnje, osećao sam se u ovom automobili kao da me je pregazio voz. Ako ste hteli da naprave auto koji će vas za jako malo vremena jako mnogo iznuriti onda im svaka čast!
(German - traslated by google translator): "Wofür ist Hybridtechnologie - Masse und Verbrauch steigern? Der Platz auf dem Rücksitz ist klein, nur für kleine Kinder. Die Fahreigenschaften sind bei weitem die schlechtesten in der Klasse, und der Preis ist Pfeffer. Wenn Sie eine etwas bessere Ausrüstung wählen, müssen Sie fast 30.000 € ausgeben. Wenn Sie ein Fan von Toyota sind, sollten Sie sich für den veralteten RAV4 entscheiden, wenn Sie nicht der Meinung sind, dass Sie dem viel besseren Honda H-RV oder Nissan Qashqai vertrauen sollten. Wie schade! Und das Auto sieht so attraktiv und originell aus! Für das Design von mir sind zehn plus und die anderen Merkmale dieses Autos so schlecht, dass ich nicht weiß, welche Note ich diesem Auto zuordnen könnte, ohne objektiv zu sein.
Der unglaubliche Unsinn ist, dass der Hybrid nur mit Frontantrieb erhältlich ist. Die Kapazität von NiMH-Akkus beträgt 6,5 Ah. Das Fahrzeuggewicht liegt je nach Ausstattung zwischen 1380 und 1460 Kilogramm, die Höchstgeschwindigkeit bei etwas mehr als 170 km / h und einem Luftwiderstandsbeiwert von 0,32, was einem relativ hohen Luftwiderstand entspricht. Der Testfahrer wiegt 98 Kilogramm und ist 184 cm groß. Wenn ich vielleicht 20 kg leichter wäre, wäre mein durchschnittlicher Verbrauch vielleicht nicht 12 Liter, sondern 11,99 Liter alle 100 Kilometer. Lärm bei 160 km / h ist hoch und lästig. Nach ein paar Stunden Fahrt fühlte ich mich in diesem Auto wie von einem Zug überfahren. Wenn Sie ein Auto bauen wollten, das Sie in sehr kurzer Zeit abschreckt, dann viel Glück!
@@Winglet2011 the gearbox is set to go 180km/h. The most efficient is 120km/h
@@dragospahontu if most efficient driving is about 120 km/h why to buy car like this?
@@Winglet2011 why do you need to go faster than 120-130? It's perfectly adequate.
At 125km/h I get 5l/100km which is better than any of it's competitors. And in the city it literally uses less fuel than a diesel.
The reason it gets bad consumption over 120km/h is because the gearbox ratio is set for a max speed of 180km/h but this is also why you get amazing consumption at low speeds.
❤❤❤❤
Toyota needs to grow up and get in the game. Make the C-HR an all electric vehicle and get over themselves.
Inquiring Minds how much would you pay for one? Just curious

😎😎😎🔥🔥🔥
Yet another excellent review, Thomas. Unfortunately for me, this is the second ugliest car on the market (beaten by the Nissan Juke) and sitting in the rear, it feels very cramped and the all black interior gives the impression of sitting in a coffin!
Cheers!
33:37 i dont know, to me is natural push forward gear up,not other way,pus down gear down.Push up,up,up gear up,gear up,pus gear back, gear down :-) .
The entire concept of sequential gear levers comes from sports cars. Imagine downshifting under heavy breaking in a car setup like you describe it. You'd pull yourself forward. Same thing with accelerating and upshifting. You're beeing pushed back into the seat and you are supposed to push yourself backwards even more? No. It's just wrong. You feel in even in a normal car. Drive fast and downshift manually while breaking before a corner. You will feel how wrong it is.
Even Porsche had it setup the wrong way back when they had Tiptronic. They were rare but man... It destroys the whole car. I only know of Mazda and BMW that actually do it right today. In this day and age of paddle shifters it might be a non issue, but not all cars have it. The VW Caddy we have at work has DSG. And that is setup the wrong way. ESPECIALLY in that car where you sit so high - with the gear lever so low, it's just WRONG to downshift by pulling it towards you. Very unergonomic.
Someone once dumbed it down by assuming that stick forward = stick up = shift up.
I would prefer if the back of the car is more simpler
Thomas, do you feel any impact (on your body) of the magnetic field generated by hi-voltage hybrid system?
I mean, I guess theoretically you float slightly due to diamagnetism.
No. There is indeed some interesting research about that, especially about pure EVs. But also combustion engines generate magnetic fields so its not that easy to tell
I got to test drive the original and considered buying, until I sat in the back, it is so dark and claustrophobic for kids, it ruined the whole car for me.
This updated seems compromised and dated, given how other manufacturers are moving forward with cockpit integration and EV technology.
They really should’ve added a sunroof for purchase on the facelift, especially when they invest 50 million euros. That would’ve made me retain this on my list for a purchase, but as you said, it’s very claustrophobic in the rear.
Portugal :)
That's the worst "integrated" rear door handle. So many lines and gaps and the rear window is so small because of it. The Clio, Alfa-s, old Leon have it so much better.
This doesn’t look any ‘newer’ than previous one imo. In fact I think the headlights on the last one look just as futuristic.
Even though it's a subtle change, it looked way better and more appropriate than the previous. Now it's similar to a premium Lexus UX, and it sets it apart from the rest of the CUVs.
Dennis Marzan That’s very true. It does look way smarter than the previous one the more I look at it.
Well planted for me
at last indictors hvere they ought to be
I used to think Toyota was the master of boring cars, especially in styling. The newer Toyotas are making me nostalgic for the boring ones.
Honda HR-V or Toyota CH-R?
compare it here: th-cam.com/video/2RkIp0G5QDU/w-d-xo.html
Hybrid is nice ,the car is more for 2 people with a limited use of the back seats . I driven C_RV drive is ok but the back seats feel like your in a cave .
@17:25 Ohh there is the Belgian explanation. :p So other countries don't need fire extinguisher in car????
After a bit googling, most countries don't even have a first aid kit in the car. wow
! 😯
According to Belgian law "at least one extinguisher must be within reach of the driver". In practice the extinguishers in cars sold in Belgium may also be located somewhere in the trunk. During the periodic automobile inspection the extinguisher (presence and expiration date) as well as the presence and state of other mandatory safety equipment (warning triangle, first aid kit and high-visibility reflective jacket) are often not checked.
www.wegcode.be/wetteksten/secties/kb/tech/357-art70
@@xfg007 Belgium, czech republic, germany, austria, slovenia, slovakia, hungary, croatia, turkey & greece have first aid kids by law, the rest have to figure out whatever i guess :D
It's not recommended in much of the world anymore. It's recommended you get out of a burning car as quickly as possible instead of wasting time trying to fight the fire.
Fire extinguishers also need to be secured well like they are in this video or they are very dangerous in a frontal collision.
i really like this car but it doesn't have the engine and transmission i want
I've always liked the exterior - but the interior... Man it's cramped. The car is SO narrow. The Mazda CX-3, allthough based on the Mazda2, feels MUCH roomier and less claustrofobic.
Also - blocking the view that much out of the rear windows just for those stupid handles that just makes the door look wrong... Nope.
I just cannot get beyond the feeling that it is just a design-oriented car. As you said on the video, Toyota themselves can be quoted in saying that buyers of this model are mainly buying because of the design. Even so, it just compromises so much for that design; in that, the insanely small rear-windows, the unnecessarily space inefficient rear door handles, that hand-span-wide big rear pillar. Additionally, with the interior and that cheaply put on screen.
I still think it is the most appealing Toyota, this specific facelift that is. Your comment that it doesn't have that sluggish, disconnected feeling steering either, with proper suspension as well this time around with the 2.0 hybrid. Yeah, if I am to buy a Toyota, this would be it.
But if you want a reliable Japanese car, why chose any of this over the Mazda or Honda offerings I don't understand still.
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!
Ich bin chi chi
Why no plug-in? Doesn't make any sense to let the car charge itself.
There will be no space left in the boot if they need to increase the battery from 2 kwH to 20 kwH for a PHEV version!
t Lim Ok, why not make the car lighter, from carbon fibre or CRP and skip the hybrid altogether. It's not effective for the car to charge itself. Personally I think it's so incredible stupid. Some people say the car will charge the batteries when you brake, but if you're a smooth driver you don't need to use the brakes anyway and the generators will just slow you down too quick and the petrol engine will use more fuel to regain speed.
t Lim The benefit would be having plug-in 10-20km of electric range to cover short trips on electric power only. On most short trips the petrol engine might not need to start. Then the consumption goes down.
