Ordered a C-HR yesterday, love how the hybrid system works. We took it for a 23 mile test drive, 67% of our journey was in EV mode averaging 66mpg. Love it.
Wanted one of these, and kind of still do, but the analogue dials really let it down. A bad decision by Toyota. Love your reviews, so clear and genuine. Cheers!
Good review Nobby. Great to hear the mpg as well as l/100km also. I have to say I do like them but I do think it wouldn't be for me not just for practicality reasons but also whilst alot of cars are like this there's no spare wheel nor space for the same and the puncture repair kits I know from personal experience are rubbish. I'd also do alot of motorway driving and so I still don't think a hybrid in any form would be for me at the present time but all in all it was interesting to see.
There is a optional spare wheel kit ( & it can be retro fitted to ) but it means you would loose the under boot floor storage area & IIRC depending which size of spare you go for it can raise the boot floor. I also wouldn't buy a car without a spare wheel - any Toyota salesperson isn't going to lose a potential C HR sale if it means sticking a spare wheel kit in if the customer asks for one.
Great review! I'm an American (living in the Silicon Valley) and I'm very interested in one. I do hope that they bring the hybrid version to the U.S. market.
Great review. A quick mention of the steering wheel: I've owned three Toyotas, two Corollas, One Camry, and with all of them I've noticed the telescopic steering wheel does not telescope enough. When pulling it towards you it stops where I think it should start. In order for me to adjust the seats comfortably for my legs, which are not long, I have to hold my arms nearly straight out. My girlfriend and I need to buy a car and we're torn between this model and the Kia Niro which for me is much more comfortable, much nicer driving position.
Ive been looking at a 2018 model nice colour choices for that year. And just by watching ur video 2021 models aint much different compared to any other years besides the few selected tweaks aka lights and maybe abit better seats other then that same power in engine sizes. All years have andriod auto or apple carplay and heated seats
A fine bus and great review. But price puts it on the high side, Japanese not the tallest of people so fine for the majority. Time to move my Suzuki Vitara for something hybrid or maybe an EV.
Good review Nobby . The Hybrid to Toyota is what the Turbo was to Saab back in the day . It is an interesting car to luck at , a real love it or leave it vehicle and would be colour sensitive . The big selling point is the fact that it is a TOYOTA with reliability and after sales servicing up there with the best (please take note BMW) . I found it quite difficult to source a 2.0l version in Ireland where the 1.8l (underpowered) seems to be overwhelming in terms of sales . How much is this specced model ? If I would add one option it would be a Panoramic sun roof (not available though) to brighten up the dungeon gloom at the back . Thanks for this overview .
So weird we don't ge the hybrid version of this in the USA...? I still don't understand why Toyota/Lexus skip out on giving us things that ALL other countries get...
LED lights standard, lithium Ion standard on 1.8 (Nickel on 2.0), CarPlay & Android, EV indicator standard, bits of exterior trim tweaked. Can email you on more bits if required.
@@NobbyOnCars thank you for your help. This is my email : testingfxl@gmail.com Please all different between 2020 and 2021 if you have time. On design etc ... engine,interior car and exterior 🤗
Have the previous version of the CH-R. The front passenger seat is practically useless if you have a child seat, especially the bigger seats for early years behind it. The front seat has to be pushed nearly all the way forward to accommodate the seat and childs legs hanging over the end. Is this one any better in that regard? Same for the boot. In ours, with the buggy in there is no room for anything else really. Is the boot bigger now?
Boot the same. Most cars like this take the big buggy and not much else. Some hatches can’t even fit the buggy. All depends on your front passengers legs for fitting the child seat behind in an isofix base. I think this car is better suited to kids 5+ rather than infants
you cant compare the CHR with a Qashqai, they arent the same category. The nearest thing to the CHR line in Nissans offering is currently the Juke. ort the Kia Soul.
This car has about two-three negatives: engine, back seat windows and perhaps see option. Toyota have so many engines to choose from and it's weaker than previous gen Corolla.
Very similar, perhaps the Corolla is a little better in corners but overall, very little in it at this level of car. Corolla might be a bit more spacious in the rear though!
Every time I catch a review of internal combustion engine car - ESPECIALLY a Hybrid - I just,... Wince a bit. Because, as an electric owner, I'm hearing all the compromises. "it'll get 50mpg",.... That's no longer good. "It revs but only for,.." you lost me at revs. "The boot could be bigger" of course it could, some idiot put a fuel tank and a battery back there and an engine up front. "There could be more space in the back" that's what happens when you have to make space for all that stuff that pushes it along. Compare the interior space and performance of this vs. an ID4, say, and,... This just looks OLD and ancient.
🤣 take a moment to get over yourself Tim. Electric cars play a huge role in the future no doubt, but it's still very much a work in progress. We still need Petrol, Hybrid, and God forbid, Diesel engines right now. Also comparing it to the larger, way more expensive, as yet unreleased ID.4 is just ludicrous. The 1st edition of those starts from over 52k here, and goes north quickly from there. C-HR isn't for me, but it's a solid option (mostly for the elderly in my personal experience, 3 of my elderly neighbours drive them)

His giving honest reviews rather than the exagerate car reviewers. He really lets us see whats the good and bad in the vehicles.
Really nice calm reviews, without yelling and fake smiling. Big like
We bough the Orange Edition 2.0 Hybrid after watching your video. Very happy with the purchase, built quality and quality control is excellent.
Yeah they are well put together for sure!
What a great, calm and honest review. Thanks.
Just bought one today. Great car, nice driver. Very happy.
Good luck with it
@@NobbyOnCars thanks
Thanks for the review. You always manage to cover what really matters to the ordinary driver, using it in real use. 👍
Thank you David, always my intention to do real world stuff so I appreciate that.
Driving like Miss. Daisy! LOL.
Excellent as always. Puma would be my choice. Stay safe..
I think if this car had a sun roof all the downsides wouldn't seem so heavy. It would also solve the back seat clusterphobic feel.
Would make a big different alright
excellent review and attitude; aimed at helping rather than showing off.
Thank you!
Great review as always. Congrats on your 10k + subscribers.
Thank you!
Thanks for the elderly drive them comments but your right there easy to get in and out of and very comfy to sit in and the speed I drive great on fuel

I get between 55-65 MPG on a mixed journey. Its a great car. 1.8 Hybrid
Can't argue with that economy!
The inconvenience is that this model doesn’t offer AWD version and for that reason it’s behind Nissan and Honda. I own one and it’s a great vehicle.
You own a C-HR or one of the other two?
Great review! I'm an American (living in the Silicon Valley) and I'm very interested in one. I do hope that they bring the hybrid version to the U.S. market.
Thanks for the insight. It's either this or the Captur PHEV. Time for test drives.
It's so dark in the back.. Pity they didn't use a brighter colour for the interior. Would have really improved it

Bit more space in the eNiro if that's a factor too!

The CarPlay is a retro fit isn't it?
@@NobbyOnCars yes all years have retro fit
Great review mate👍👍
I love this car, thanks for your review. How about the wind noise and tire noise over80? Thanks
A fine bus and great review. But price puts it on the high side, Japanese not the tallest of people so fine for the majority. Time to move my Suzuki Vitara for something hybrid or maybe an EV.
Thanks good review.
Thanks for checking it out
No way to make rear seats move since hybrid battery is beneath those
I hate all the thick Black plastic trim on the vehicle.
What configuration or Model would you choose other than the Orange 2 tone. Thanks. 👍🏴
Go for the mid spec with Toyota unless you really want to spend the cash would be my advice. Their mid option is always decent.
Good review Nobby . The Hybrid to Toyota is what the Turbo was to Saab back in the day . It is an interesting car to luck at , a real love it or leave it vehicle and would be colour sensitive . The big selling point is the fact that it is a TOYOTA with reliability and after sales servicing up there with the best (please take note BMW) . I found it quite difficult to source a 2.0l version in Ireland where the 1.8l (underpowered) seems to be overwhelming in terms of sales . How much is this specced model ? If I would add one option it would be a Panoramic sun roof (not available though) to brighten up the dungeon gloom at the back . Thanks for this overview .
Think this one was about 52 from memory
So weird we don't ge the hybrid version of this in the USA...? I still don't understand why Toyota/Lexus skip out on giving us things that ALL other countries get...
Nice car, nice review 🖒! Can you please tell what is different from chr 2020 models ?
2020 - 2021 ... !
LED lights standard, lithium Ion standard on 1.8 (Nickel on 2.0), CarPlay & Android, EV indicator standard, bits of exterior trim tweaked. Can email you on more bits if required.

Air Vents under the front seats
Where do you get your cars mate? Enjoy your reviews. Is this a full time gig now?
Well it'd a weekly or twice weekly gig, radio is still the full time one. All press cars from the brands.
@@NobbyOnCars thanks for replying. Would love to review cars myself but always wonder at what point of success do you get given press cars.
@@slugger7440 the radio ‘profile’ helped me get the attention on the initial email anyway, that’s for sure.
I wish it was awd drive
Better than corola?
Probably more space in the back of a Corolla
You need a light with your camera!
you cant compare the CHR with a Qashqai, they arent the same category. The nearest thing to the CHR line in Nissans offering is currently the Juke. ort the Kia Soul.
You can when it comes to price in Ireland !
I have a 36KM drive to work, if I spend 30 KM of that on the motorway, would this engine be as economic as a diesel in an similar size vehicle??
Depends how fast you drive but without even trying around a city centre driving environment you'll get 50-60mpg.
👍
This car has about two-three negatives: engine, back seat windows and perhaps see option. Toyota have so many engines to choose from and it's weaker than previous gen Corolla.
What did you do to only get 50 mpg? I was normally high 60’s in mine,
Your's is probably the 1.8l version at 122PS instead of the 184PS version reviewed here .
@@richardshiggins704 yes it was the 1.8i. Thank you for clarifying
Is a Corolla a better drive
Very similar, perhaps the Corolla is a little better in corners but overall, very little in it at this level of car. Corolla might be a bit more spacious in the rear though!
With electric car either too expensive or too ugly this is a good compromise I feel
This one costs the same as an ID3 but it is not the typical one you see on the road
Nice car but l do not prefer hybrid car.
Fair enough!
What chr trim comes with moonroof or sunroof?
I'm not sure they do at all
How do you do a review in darkness?
can't do much about December afternoon light I'm afraid. Whack up the brightness and it should be a bit better.

My ma said don’t trust a man who wears bright trainers
Good for you
Your Mammy is always right and that colour would attract the wrong type of girl !
