Toyota C-HR 2.0 VVT-i Hybrid 2019 review
Should I buy one?
There are some issues, though. While rear leg room is plentiful, the C-HR’s sloping roofline eats into head room somewhat, so particularly tall adults may find they have to come over all adolescent and slouch. Also, the boot has a capacity of 358 litres, which is really quite poor. For perspective, the Seat Ibiza supermini has 355 litres.
Then there’s the question of price. Admittedly, this particular car is the top-flight, limited-edition Orange Edition (of which just 500 will come to the UK), so some premium is expected. But even so, £32,595 is quite a lot of money. In fact, in its cheapest form, the 2.0-litre C-HR still costs £29,645.
It is frugal, though, and when used primarily in urban environments, its ability to run for extended periods on battery power only means there’s every chance you’ll get close to its reasonably lofty WLTP fuel consumption claim. And who’s going to have a problem with that?

Toyota C-HR (2020) International Launch Review
Summary
There is little doubt that Toyota’s refreshed C-HR will remain an interesting alternative to all the usual suspects in the compact family car segment.
It looks good, has an interesting interior that’s well-made and now of higher quality, is nice to drive and the hybrid setup is more efficient and cheaper to run than that of the previous 1.2T. It’s not the go-to for practicality, but the addition of key connectivity equipment and a more powerful hybrid motor make it far more appealing.

WATCH: Toyota CH-R nearly plunges four stories in parking mishap
NONTHABURI, THAILAND - Selecting the wrong gear while executing a parking manoeuvre is not an uncommon mistake, but the stakes are somewhat higher when you do that in a multi-storey parkade like the one in this video from Thailand.
Posted on YouTube by Crafoo TV, the video (embedded below) shows a woman in a Toyota CH-R arriving for work and reversing into her parking bay. It seems that towards the end of the manoeuvre, while trying to straighten the car, the driver intended to move forward but somehow managed to leave it in reverse, and the result almost proved fatal. The Toyota smashed through a concrete barrier and ended up dangling over the edge of the building, with a drop-off of around 15 metres below the car. Thankfully only the rear wheels went over the edge and the driver was able to escape safely through the door.

Refreshed Toyota C-HR for South Africa: local pricing announced
The facelifted Toyota C-HR is expected to launch in South Africa in April 2020 but the Japanese firm’s local arm has already announced pricing.
As before, the range comprises four derivatives, each powered by Toyota’s turbocharged 1,2-litre petrol engine. The four-pot delivers an unchanged 85 kW and 185 N.m to the front wheels via either a six-speed manual gearbox or a continuously variable transmission.
While the pre-facelift range started at R352 400 and ran through to R441 900, the refreshed line-up kicks off at R371 700 to R476 600 (see full pricing below).
So, what do you get for the extra outlay? Well, besides the updated styling, Toyota has now included driver, front passenger, side front, curtain and driver-knee airbags as standard across the range (previously, three of the four variants made do with two airbags). All models furthermore feature a touchscreen infotainment system that now includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Pricing:
Toyota C-HR 1,2T: R371 700
Toyota C-HR 1,2T Plus: R403 000
Toyota C-HR 1,2T Plus CVT: R415 100

Toyota's updated C-HR here soon: SA prices and specs
At the recent launch of the Corolla Quest, Toyota announced that it would also be releasing an updated version of its crossover cousin the C-HR in April, but the refreshed model has already been listed on Toyota South Africa’s website, along with specs and pricing.
The new line-up starts at R371 200 for the 1.2T base model, which is about R20 000 more than the previous model, but the variant does get a safety boost, with side and curtain airbags now fitted as standard - as they should have been from the start. Infotainment has also been upgraded across the range, with Toyota’s latest touchscreen system making its debut here, complete with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity as well as a reverse camera.
All models are sold with a three-year/100 000km warranty and a six-service (90 000km) service plan.

Hot new Toyota GR C-HR coming to battle VW’s T-Roc R, claims report
A fresh report out of the United Kingdom claims Toyota will hand its C-HR crossover the full-fat GR treatment, creating a rival for Volkswagen’s T-Roc R.
According to Auto Express, the Japanese firm’s Gazoo Racing arm is hard at work developing a high-performance version of the C-HR (itself recently facelifted in South Africa), targeting a launch date of “before 2023”.
Of course, a GR Corolla hot hatch is also on the cards, reportedly set to employ a version of the turbocharged 1,6-litre three-cylinder petrol engine debuted by the 200 kW GR Yaris. And, according to this latest rumour, the GR-badged C-HR will use the same three-pot, although likely in a slightly detuned form.

Toyota's refreshed C-HR is now safer, more connected, and whole lot more hip
More safety goodies
Safety features have been enhanced across the range, which means the base (Standard) and Plus trim models receive - in addition to dual front airbags - side, curtain, and driver knee airbags. The rear seatbelt force limiters and pre-tensioners have been added to the standard grade derivative, while the range-topping ‘Luxury’ grade model gets the ultimate full house package in terms of electronic driver safety aids. The Toyota Safety Sense system includes Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM), Lane Change Assist (LCA), Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA), Pre-crash system, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), and Lane Keeping Assist.
All C-HR models are sold with six-services or a 90 000km service plan (intervals set at 15 000km) and a three-year or 100 000km warranty. Customers can also purchase a variety of service and/or warranty add-ons at their local dealership, says the automaker.

Updated Toyota C-HR (2020) Launch Review
It’s interesting to note that when the C-HR came to market in 2017, pricing started at R318 500 and went up to R356 000 for the top-spec derivative. Fast forward to the present and the starting point is now at R371 700 for the Standard derivative and going all the way up to R476 600 for the top-of-the-range C-HR Luxury. You can get into a spacious Toyota RAV4 for that money.
While we applaud the latest safety and tech upgrades, the C-HR has become a pricey proposition when you factor in its practicality woes and similarly-sized products on offer, such as the Hyundai Kona and Mazda CX-3 which can be had for much less money. As a result, buyers may be tempted to look for more practical options or higher-value offerings, especially in the tough economic environment that is currently gripping the country.
The C-HR is not an ideal compact family car but it does remain an enticing proposition for young empty-nesters who place more value on style and care less about practicality. For those looking for more practical options, there are a myriad of options available in the R380 000 - R500 000 price range. With that said, the C-HR will likely remain a fringe player, albeit a stylish one.
