Toyota C-HR SUV. 1st generation, 2019 restyling
Toyota C-HR is a compact city front-wheel drive 5-door J-class SUV produced by Toyota (Japan) since 2016. In 2020, Israeli buyers could purchase the restyled 2019 Toyota C-HR.
The new Toyota C-HR has the following size: 4,360×1,795×1,565 mm (L x W x H). This is a truly compact SUV. But the distance between the axles of 2,640 mm makes the interior spacious enough for its class. The vehicle has a medium-sized trunk of 377 liters. But it can be increased by folding the rear seat backs.
Hybrid modification
In Israel, the 2019 Toyota C-HR is available with a hybrid engine combining petrol and electric power. And this is the main advantage of this vehicle! Except, of course, the unique design. Thanks to the hybrid system, the average fuel consumption was reduced to 3.8 liters per 100 km, and to 3.5 liters within the city. At the same time, the C-HR SUV can accelerate to 170 km/h. The hybrid is equipped with an automatic transmission and can only be front-wheel drive. Let’s take a closer look at how this works.
After pressing the ‘Start’ button, the dashboard displays the information that the car is ready to move. At the same time, you do not feel anything, as if you were just sitting in a car with the engine off. After that, you need to move the gear lever to the ‘D’ position and press the gas pedal. The movement starts with an electric drive. In this case, the capacity of the battery allows you to travel using only the electric motor for a distance of up to 2 km.
In order to activate the operation of the internal combustion engine, you just need to accelerate the car by pressing the gas pedal harder. The battery status is monitored by the on-board computer. The traffic condition is also taken into account when braking, stopping at a traffic light or driving at a low speed, when the kinetic energy is used, which is converted into an electric charge. The C-HR hybrid system has a Fastlane manual control mode, in which the combustion engine will run continuously and the car’s movement will be no different from driving a car equipped with a petrol engine. The central touchscreen displays the battery status and provides the ability to adjust fuel consumption in hybrid mode.
Trim versions
Israeli buyers of the 2020 Toyota C-HR can choose from 5 trim versions: C-Hic, C-Itty, C-Lub, C-Oncept and Launch Edition. Any C-HR trim includes a full set of airbags, tire pressure sensor, immobilizer, central locking, rear camera, adaptive cruise control, drive mode selection system, driver fatigue sensor, lane departure warning system and blind spot monitoring system, collision avoidance system and traffic sign recognition.
All the trim versions of the new Toyota C-HR are also equipped with such handy elements as rear and front parking sensors, 2-zone climate control, multifunctional steering wheel, tinted glass, and keyless access.
