2017 Toyota C-HR
Toyota’s new crossover SUV the C-HR will be available in Ireland from November writes Geraldine Herbert
- We love what Toyota have done with the styling particularly the bulging fenders and the falling roofline, its angular and edgy in a way we have not seen before from the Japanese car maker.
- The C-HR is slightly smaller than the RAV4 at just under 5 meters long, 1.8 wide and 1.5 high.
- Rivals include the Mazda CX-3, Honda’s HR-V, the Mitsubishi ASX and Nissan’s Qashqai.
- Powering the new SUV is a 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine with 85kW/185Nm. There will also be a full hybrid version.
- The new C-HR is not only compact and stylish but its also fuel efficient and in hybrid form it returns a combined fuel consumption of only 3.7 l/100 km.
- Inside, the daring look of the exterior is toned down a little but it is contemporary and uncluttered.
- Buyers can choose between a 6-speed manual gearbox or an automatic Continuously Variable Transmission, and for those who live where the weather is less than ideal the CVT versions are available in all-wheel drive.
- With three grades of C-HR from which to choose, there’s a version in every price range. The 2017 C-HR starts from €26,895 for the base model to €32,950 for a top of the range version.
- The C-HR name means Coupe High Rider
