Driven: Toyota has upped its game with refreshed C-HR
Is it worth buying?
If you’re looking for a compact family car, you’ll really appreciate what the latest C-HR brings to the table in terms of keeping occupants safe. The standard and Plus grades receive side, curtain and driver knee airbags – in addition to the front driver and passenger units – while rear seatbelt force limiters and pre-tensioners have been added to the standard grade derivative.
The flagship “Luxury” derivative gains a complete suite of electronic driver safety aids in the form of the Toyota Safety Sense system. It’s a good buy if you want a stylish, but tried-and-tested brand in the garage. I can appreciate the levels of engineering and refinement that have gone into making it drive really well.
All C-HR models are sold with a six-services/90 000km service plan (intervals set at 15 000km) and threeyear/100 000km warranty.

Toyota has given the 2020 C-HR a complete once-over, underneath and on top, and the results are quite remarkable.

Review: 2020 Toyota C-HR is stylish, but is it useful too?
Is it fun to drive?
While the wheel-at-each-corner packaging doesn’t do any practicality favours, it does help to make the C-HR more agile than you’d expect from a crossover, but it also helps that the vehicle is lower than your average pavement hopper - in fact it sits a good 120mm closer to the ground than a Rav4. The C-HR rides comfortably too.

The Toyota C-HR certainly stands out in a crowd. But how does it stand up to everyday life? Let’s take a look.

Juliet drives the updated C-HR
Juliet is spot on with her comments. I'm planning to lease the Hybrid C-HR here in the Netherlands. Took it for a test drive and it is exactly as she says. Good driving experience. Only irritating thing is the smaller boot (but you learn to be more frugal in everything here) and the small back windows.

Toyota C-HR GR Coming with 200 kW
Toyota's Gazoo Racing performance brand has lofty ambitions and will be enhancing most of the Japanese brand's portfolio over the next few years. The next model to get the go-faster treatment is the C-HR.
We've already seen information and images regarding the Toyota C-HR GR Sport, a visually-enhanced version of the Japanese brand's compact SUV. Now, information has come to light that Toyota's Gazoo Racing wishes to unlock some serious performance.

Toyota C-HR GR Sport
With the introduction of a new GR SPORT model, and new colour and trim choices for the C-HIC grade, the 2021 Toyota C-HR line-up brings greater refinement, exclusivity and prestige to the striking design language and outstanding dynamic performance that has already awarded the company's C-SUV segment iconic status within the Toyota model range.
Launched in 2016 and positioned as a dynamic crossover combining extravagant looks with the handling prowess to match - yet delivering segment-best emissions performance - the first Toyota C-HR had a powerful impact on the C-SUV segment.
In its first year, the C-HR sold 120,000 units in Europe, instantly achieving a 10% share of the segment. This success story has continued and today, equipped with a segment-unique choice of 1.8 litre, 122 hp or 2.0 litre, 184 hp hybrid powertrains, the CH-R is driven by more than 400,000 Europeans.
Inspired by Toyota's performance-focused GR models and the livery colours of TOYOTA GAZOO Racing, the new GR SPORT adds sharper exterior and interior styling to the C-HR's already striking appearance.
Bringing greater elegance and exclusivity to the 2021 C-HIC grade, exterior and interior colour and trim upgrades include new bi-tone colour combinations, 18" alloy wheels and two-tone leather upholstery.
Finally, the entire 2021 C-HR model range is equipped with an updated version of Toyota Safety Sense which incorporates a number of new active safety features, making the C-HR every bit as safe as it is engaging to drive.

Toyota C-HR GR Sport for 2021
Toyota has taken the covers off of the 2021 C-HR GR Sport. While its not the outrageous performance model we're craving, there's no denying it's quite the looker!
Toyota's performance hierarchy is complex. Petrolheads will be lusting after the hardcore GRMN and GR models, while those who want to look the part can opt for the GR Sport range. The Toyota C-HR is a popular model, with 120 000 European sales in its first year. Assembled on the TNG platform, it combines fashionable styling with pleasant driving manners. The SA-spec Toyota C-HR is a finalist in the CarsAwards-powered by WesBank, where it takes on the Subaru XV and Mazda CX-3.
With the Toyota Gazoo Racing flavour, there's bolder and more dynamic focused styling. The model receives some updates on the exterior, in the cabin and in the tech department. Visually, the bi-tone contrast combines well with a sporty-looking front end with piano black detailing. The bumper is a bit more aggressive and there are 19-inch alloy wheels on each corner. There's a subtle GR Sport logo on the rear as well as a bespoke under-bumper trim garnish.

Please Stop Me Because I Actually Kinda Dig The C-HR GR Sport
I know I shouldn’t like the new Toyota C-HR GR Sport crossover that the Japanese automaker just debuted for the European market. I know it isn’t a “real” Gazoo Racing creation. I know this vehicle shares nothing, save for a badge, in common with the GR Super Sport that we’ve been repeatedly told will one day herald the return of hypercars on the Mulsanne. And yet...
There’s a fast-growing tradition in the auto industry of punched-up, sporty versions of otherwise unremarkable crossovers. One of the latest examples is Ford’s Edge ST, which adopted a moniker typically applied to the Blue Oval’s sprightly hatchbacks. And while I’m not precisely sure where the trend began, I do recall the Juke NISMO RS turning heads in the early part of the last decade, if for no other reason than seeming like a concept too ludicrous to be true.
What differentiates the sporty Edge and Juke from this C-HR, though, is that those were legitimately tightened up, boosted, and generally improved under the skin. So while you could argue that they weren’t as fast on track as, say, a Focus ST or a 370Z, you also couldn’t argue that they were nothing more than appearance packages, which is certainly true of the C-HR GR Sport.
But I reckon that the GR aesthetic works really well on the C-HR, at least better than you’d think. The contrast between the black roof, skirts and grille with the white body slims the crossover down and underscores those haunchy haunches. It doesn’t look quite as unique or special as what Toyota whipped together for the Japanese version of the GR trim, but it gets the job done.

Toyota’s CH-R Luxury flagship model gains new features
In a bid to offer buyers more choice at the upper echelon of the CH-R’s range, Toyota has added lighting upgrades and newer safety specification to its Luxury grade model, which has a price tag of R519 900.
Power remains the same at 85 kW and 185 N.m from a 1,2-litre turbocharged engine which can be mated to either a six-speed manual or a CVT.
Back to the upgrades on the Luxury model, and from an aesthetic point, the flagship features sequential turn indicators and unique light-cluster treatment. Dramatic Y-shaped light guides are paired with high-intensity Bi-beam LED light clusters with integrated Daytime Running Lights (DRL). LED fog lamps are also available.

C-HR 1.2T – R 402 300
C-HR 1.2T Plus – R 436 300
