Why the C-HR is Toyota’s outlier
The new Toyota C-HR looks at least as futuristic as the previous generation. At least as far as the design is concerned.
The new C-HR’s powertrain isn’t as forward-looking and consists of a 1.8-liter four-cylinder that uses an electric motor to produce up to 140 hp. In short, a normal hybrid! Do you really want to drive electric? Then you’re better off going for the plug-in hybrid with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder.
The new Toyota C-HR
With the plug-in version you can drive up to 66 kilometers purely electrically. The normal hybrid produces 198 hp and 206 Nm of torque, the plug-in hybrid produces 223 hp and 208 Nm of torque. This difference is due to the electric motor. In both cases, the four-cylinder in the C-HR produces around 150 hp.
The new generation is the outsider of the Toyota family and is positioned between the Yaris and Corolla Cross.
