With the new Toyota C-HR 2017 model, the price of which will be significantly lower than that of the popular RAV4 crossover, the Japanese company is invading the most massive segment. Now Hyundai Creta and Renault Captur reign supreme there. Of course, the status of the oldest Japanese company will imply a somewhat higher cost of the initial version. Nevertheless, in this matter, the configuration and prices of the Toyota C-HR 2017 (photo) will not differ much from the generally accepted trends in this segment. The same can be said about the technical characteristics. The production of a crossover in a new body is organized at a plant in Turkey, the start of sales is scheduled for the end of the year. In addition to Europe, deliveries to their countries have already been announced: Ukraine, Armenia and Azerbaijan. About when the start of sales of Toyota C-HP will take place in Russia will be announced in the near future.
The initial equipment implies the presence in the technical characteristics of the Toyota CXR of a 1.2-liter turbo engine with a capacity of 116 forces, used on Auris hatchbacks. For a surcharge to the price, all-wheel drive with a multi-plate clutch from RAV4 and a variator are available. The basic package of CHR will include: air conditioning, a proprietary audio system with MP3, steering column and driver's seat height adjustment, power windows front and rear, heated front seats and power mirrors, fog lights and aluminum wheel rims. Passive and active safety is provided by: a stabilization system with off-road mode, 6 airbags, a tire pressure sensor and a hill start assistant. For an additional price, Toyota CH-R 2017 will offer: adaptive cruise control, a proprietary navigation system, parking sensors, a rear-view camera, a heated steering wheel and a metallic color.
New body
The novelty is built on the modular TNGA platform, which the Prius already uses. However, the completely new body of the Toyota CHP 2017 (photo) avoids any associations with the unhurried and hybrid Prius. In the form of a crossover with a length of 4360 mm, maximum dynamism is intended for people leading an active lifestyle, which, however, will not prevent the C-HR from being economical. Good handling will be ensured by the rear multi-link suspension, which even in the basic configurations comes with front-wheel drive. A clear proof of the potential of the Toyota CNR with a new body is the fact that the prestigious Lexus UX was built on its basis, where very high demands are placed on comfort and handling.
The kinship with Lexus can be traced in the quality of finishing materials, which is not surprising, because the model was developed for the picky tastes of European buyers. From the Prius, the crossover in the new body got a good amount of space in the rear seats, which will undoubtedly add a few points to the price of the Toyota C-HR 2017 in the eyes of people who value practicality. The trunk volume, equal to 370 liters, is not amazing, but, thanks to the correct geometric shape, it is quite convenient to use. Additionally, it should also be noted the Safety Sense security complex, which monitors road signs and markings, can automatically brake and warn of possible collisions. In the cabin, in addition to a large touch screen, a classic-design electronic clock and a contrasting trim-edging, visually dividing the interior into upper and lower parts, are remembered.
Specifications*
The modular platform from the Prius predetermined the presence in the range of a hybrid version with two electric motors, a 1.8-liter gasoline engine with a total power of 122 hp. and front wheel drive. Unsurprisingly, the technical specifications of the 2017 Toyota C-HR Hybrid are almost identical to those of the Prius with 3 liters of average fuel consumption per 100 km, 10.6 seconds of acceleration to a hundred and 180 km / h of top speed. Thanks to the lower curb weight, the base modification of the Toyota CAH Air with front-wheel drive and a 6-speed manual transmission, equipped with a 116-horsepower 1.2-liter turbo engine, is a little more dynamic. Acceleration to 100 km / h is reduced to 10.5 seconds, and the average fuel consumption of 5.7 liters per 100 km, although it gets higher, still remains one of the lowest in the class.
It is noteworthy that the price of Toyota CHP 2017 with all-wheel drive and a 1.2-liter engine includes a variator by default. The speed qualities of such versions will not change much, and fuel consumption will remain at the same level. The increased mass is compensated by the variator, thanks to a wider range of gear ratios. The same all-wheel drive transmission is also installed on the flagship versions with a 2-liter gasoline engine from the RAV4 model. In the technical characteristics of the top version of the Toyota CHP, there are 9.9 seconds of acceleration to hundreds and 6.9 liters of average fuel consumption per 100 km. Currently, the issue of the appearance under the hood of a crossover with a new body of turbo-diesel engines with a volume of 1.6-2.0 liters is being considered.
Start of sales in Russia
Even before the organization of a localized assembly, the start of sales in Russia of Toyota SNR 2017 may take place as early as next year. As practice shows, buyers are ready to pay extra for a quality product of a famous brand, even in a relatively affordable class of cars. At the initial stage, Turkish-assembled crossovers intended for sale in Europe can be supplied. Nevertheless, for a successful start of Toyota C-HR sales at attractive prices, a Russian assembly is required, and there are all the necessary prerequisites for this. More recently, the plant in St. Petersburg began production of the RAV4 model, and the new CHP crossover, due to its more affordable price, promises to be even more popular. We should not forget that the St. Petersburg enterprise with a design capacity of 300,000 vehicles a year is currently loaded by a maximum of a third.
At the International Geneva Motor Show in March 2016, the Japanese company Toyota presented to the general public a youth model: C-HR (the concept prototype of the same name was presented in the autumn of 2014 at the "bride" in Paris) is a representative of the fast-growing segment of subcompact crossovers.
The car, dressed in a striking design and inheriting a lot from the Prius, arrived on the European market in January 2017, and appeared in Russia on June 1, 2018 (“slowly” having passed all the necessary “certifications and adaptations”).
The strongly built and “muscular” appearance of the Toyota C-HR, entirely woven from contrasts, makes a pleasant impression, but you can’t exactly call the SUV a “written handsome man”.
The original appearance of the car is replete with bright and bold solutions - a daring "face" with complex optics and bizarre bumper shapes, a "compartment" silhouette with a soaring "window sill", hidden rear door handles and exaggerated wheel arches, and even an extraordinary feed with fanciful lanterns and faceted bumper.
In terms of external dimensions, the Toyota C-HR belongs to the subcompact crossover community: 4360 mm long, 1555 mm high and 1795 mm wide. The gap between the wheel pairs of the "Japanese" accounts for 2640 mm, and its ground clearance is 160 mm.
The interior of the SUV is focused on the "pilot" - a clear and informative "toolkit" with instrumentation-wells and a color screen of the on-board computer, a stylish three-spoke steering wheel with control elements and an asymmetric console deployed towards the driver in the center of the front panel with an 8-inch monitor of the Touch 2 multimedia system and a minimum number of buttons.
The interior of the car is distinguished by high quality workmanship and solid finishing materials - soft plastics, lacquered "decor", leatherette and genuine Nappa leather.
The front riders in the Toyota C-HR are offered ergonomic seats with a comfortable profile, good lateral supports and a wide range of adjustments, but for the rear passengers, not everything is so rosy - “everything is at a minimum”: the headroom is sacrificed for an actively falling roof in the style of a coupe, there is also no space in the knees, and even the central tunnel in the legs gets in the way.
The luggage compartment of the Japanese "off-road vehicle" is small - its volume in the "stowed" state is 370 liters. The rear sofa, “cut” into two unequal parts, folds up, significantly increasing the amount of free space for luggage.
On the Russian market, Toyota C-HR is offered with one of two gasoline power plants:
- Under the hood of the basic version is a 1.2-liter four-cylinder turbo engine with direct injection, variable valve timing and 12-valve timing, developing 116 horsepower at 5200-5600 rpm and 185 Nm of peak thrust at 1500-4000 rpm.
- The “top-end” modification boasts a 2.0-liter atmospheric “four” with a distributed “power” system, a 16-valve DOHC timing belt and a variable valve timing mechanism that produces 148 hp. at 6000 rpm and 189 Nm at 3800-4000 rpm.
The "younger" motor is combined by default with a 6-speed "mechanics" and a front-wheel drive transmission, and in an expensive version - with a CVT variator and an all-wheel drive system with a multi-plate clutch responsible for connecting (if necessary) the rear axle. As for the "senior" unit, it relies exclusively on a continuously variable gearbox, and leading front wheels.
The crossover takes 10.9-11.4 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h, and its “maximum speed” rests at 180-195 km / h.
In the combined cycle of movement, the five-door consumes from 5.9 to 6.9 liters of fuel for every “hundred” kilometers (depending on modification).
Toyota C-HR is the carrier of the modular platform "TNGA" (Toyota New Global Architecture) with extensive use of high-strength steel grades in the structure.
“In a circle” the car is equipped with independent suspensions - MacPherson struts in front and a “double-lever” rear (in both cases with transverse stabilizers).
By default, this SUV is equipped with a steering system with a rack and pinion mechanism and an electric booster, as well as four-wheel disc brakes, complemented by a set of modern electronics.
In Russia, the 2018 Toyota C-HR is presented in three equipment options - “Ride”, “Hot” and “Cool”.
A car in the basic configuration with a 1.2-liter engine and 6MKPP costs from 1,299,000 rubles. Its functionality includes: two frontal airbags, air conditioning, 17-inch stamped wheels, a light sensor, an audio system with four speakers, an ERA-GLONASS system, tire pressure monitoring, ABS, EBD, ESP, electrical settings and heated mirrors, power windows for all doors and some other equipment.
The “Hot” version is declared only with a 2.0-liter “aspirated” at a price of 1,670,000 rubles, and its signs are: six airbags, heated steering wheel, windshield and front seats, dual-zone climate control, a media center with an 8-inch screen , 17-inch light-alloy “rollers”, a rearview camera, cruise control, fog lights and other “chips”.
The most “fancy” version is offered exclusively with a 116-horsepower “four” and all-wheel drive, and the price tag for it starts at 2,083,000 rubles. It boasts: a keyless entry system, LED headlights, a two-tone body color, rear parking sensors, blind spot monitoring, power folding mirrors and an obstacle detection assistant when leaving the parking lot.
A few centuries ago, cunning British brought a special, elite breed of hounds used to hunt foxes, hares and other smart and fast animals. Distinctive features of Harrier (this name was given to the breed) was the ability to quickly overtake prey and maneuver sharply in a limited space. And a few centuries later, the cunning Japanese created a car that was called the Toyota Harrier and inherited from the "progenitor" a swift exterior, excellent dynamics, directional stability, excellent maneuverability and amazing comfort. And the commercially successful Mercedes ML in the North American market was the main “prey” for the novelty, which the eastern hunters intended to drive into the hole, launching the already well-known hound in its wake, but under the name Lexus RX300.
Starting point
 |
| The way of arrival in our region of Toyota Harrier is one - from Japan, and only in second-hand condition |
 |
| Toyota Harrier The corporate "language" of the center console turned out to be such a good solution that it migrated to the next generation of the car without global changes. |
 |
| The optitronic instrument panel has long been a hallmark of Lexus models and their domestic Japanese counterparts. |
Despite the fact that Toyota Harrier appeared in Japan itself at the end of 1997, and overseas sales of the Lexus RX300 began only a few months later, already in 1998, the car's orientation to the American market is obvious. This is probably why the European premiere of this all-terrain vehicle took place only in 2000, and again under the “luxury” Lexus brand - just in the eyes of car owners of the Old World, such cars do not seem prestigious and thoroughbred. In 2003, the RX underwent radical changes - it became 165 mm longer and 25 mm wider than the previous one, which no longer speaks of a deep restyling, but of the release of a full-fledged new generation. The 3.3-liter 3MZ-FE (Lexus RX330) appeared in the range of engines, and since 2004 - a hybrid power plant based on the three-liter 1MZ-FE (Lexus RX400h). In the domestic market of Japan, Toyota Harrier also has a 2AZ-FSE engine with a direct fuel injection system ( Note by Toyota-Club. There is no such modification, Harrier is still equipped with a 2AZ-FE engine with normal injection). The car began to be equipped with a five-speed "automatic" with the possibility of manual gear selection, and an air suspension with a TEMS stiffness and clearance adjustment system appeared as an option. As for the Toyota Harrier, both pneumatic elements and an “advanced” automatic transmission are found here in the first generation.
The Toyota Harrier has only one way of arrival in our region - from Japan, and only in a second-hand condition. And therefore, finding a car in all possible versions, with any power filling is not a difficult task. Engine - from the "budget" 2.2-liter 5S-FE (on versions since 2000 - 2.4-liter 2AZ-FE) to the "top" 1MZ-FE with a working volume of three liters. For all versions, the drive is available both only on the front axle, and permanent full drive with a symmetrical differential, partially blocked by a viscous coupling. The gearbox is only an "automatic", often with a "manual" mode. Leather in the upholstery is extremely rare, remaining single manifestations of the "upper" version of the Toyota Harrier 3.0 Four. But the first generation Lexus RX300, which appeared on our roads much earlier than its right-hand drive counterpart, was at first present in the Euroversions that were supplied to us through official channels. Now, with the final departure of the car to the secondary category, it is increasingly possible to find cars with overseas pedigree on the market. It is not difficult to recognize them - turn signals built into the front bumper (for the "Europeans" they are integrated into the wings) and red, not transparent stoplight caps. The light beam of the headlights is set "American-style", which does not meet our standards. The engine is three-liter, the drive is full, although according to some reports, “budget” mono-drive versions with 2.2-liter engines were also supplied to the American market. When buying an “American”, you should be extremely careful - local car owners treat cars no better than us (first they buy an expensive car, and then they start saving on its maintenance), so it’s not uncommon for an engine coked to death with cheap, not changed for years, mineral oil, and “hungry” from the complete lack of care for the AKP. Express diagnostics of the power unit costs 400-500 rubles, a complete picture of the condition of the engine will cost already 1800. In many cases, tenacious Japanese units can be reanimated (just don't try to use potent chemistry!), But there are also clinical cases. Maintenance of the fuel system (cleaning the injectors and intake tract) will cost more than 2,000 rubles - quite a bit, given the cost of each injector at $ 200. The Lexus RX300 of the “European breed” has only a three-liter engine, four-wheel drive and stiffer suspension settings, however, due to its high cost (only four years from the start of sales, plus high intra-European prices for second-hand), they are practically not found on our market. But right-hand drive RX300 periodically arrive, both made for the “left-hand” countries and for the domestic Japanese market (a kind of trial balloon before the full withdrawal of the Lexus brand to its historical homeland). But regardless of origin, all Lexus RX300s, even in the “poorest” R1 configuration, are equipped to the highest standard. Suffice it to say that the "upper" version of the R6 was able to add to the base level only an electric sunroof, a touch-screen display, a Mark Levinson music set (in some cases Nakamichi) and a wooden steering wheel trim. Upholstery - only leather.
Ferret and Mirror
Structurally, the RX300 and Harrier are identical - a five-door carrier body on powerful spars, front and rear fully independent suspension with McPherson struts and anti-roll bars. The difference is in the details: the overseas Lexus are more imposing, but have shock absorbers with massive rods, the “Europeans” are set up for active driving with a “sharp” steering wheel and minimal buildup, and the Toyota Harrier combines distinct and predictable steering with a rather soft suspension. Many suspension components (like the three-liter V6) are borrowed from the left-hand drive Toyota Camry, so the car's behavior on the road is akin to a passenger car. The absence of downshifts and wheel locks is another argument in favor of the fact that the car is designed to move on hard surfaces. And even the presence on some modifications of a self-locking rear differential and the VSC dynamic stabilization system, which imitates wheel locks, is aimed at confidently keeping the trajectory, but not at all for extreme off-road attacks. Alas, often the owners of such cars confuse them with real "rogues" like the Land Cruiser, which significantly reduces the life of the suspension and transmission. And the gearbox of this car is already a weak point. An insufficiently strong planetary assembly hardly “digests” even the moment of a 2.2-liter engine, and even at low starts on a three-ruble note or long-term slippage on impassable roads and ice, there is very little left for the box to live. Outwardly, the "fatigue" of the automatic transmission is expressed in jerks when shifting gears, especially noticeable when moving the selector from "D" to "R" and vice versa. Contributory factors that help to send the box to the landfill include its untimely maintenance, the use of inappropriate ATF (for example, regular Dexron instead of T4), and even "shoes" of a dimension that differs from the manufacturer's recommended. In general, the “automatic” is a little thoughtful, but with an adequate attitude towards itself, it can serve faithfully no less than the engine, providing the car, albeit not sporty, but quite decent dynamics.
The bodies of both cars have a pronounced taboo on any manifestations of corrosion - rust does not belong here. Characteristic red spots can only indicate an experienced accident and poor-quality body repairs. Although rust is not the worst consequence of an accident. The geometry of the body, which is not fully straightened, leads to the fact that a car with a high center of gravity noticeably loses its handling and stability on the road, vibration appears on the steering wheel and body. Re-alignment of the geometry will cost more than one thousand dollars.
Instead of a heart...
The weakest in the range of engines is the 2.2-liter inline four 5S-FE with a capacity of 140 hp. With. was installed on frankly “budget” (in relation to the level of the car itself, of course) versions and is capable of providing only dignified, but not fast (especially with all-wheel drive) movement in space. A certain amount of vivacity in the life of the motor can only be brought by its combination with the automatic transmission that has a “manual” mode, which appeared on the Toyota Harrier already in 1998. There were no congenital diseases behind this engine, apart from the knocking characteristic of the entire “S” series, which occurs due to the formation of hard deposits in the ledge between the head and the cylinder block.
In 2000, the 5S-FE was replaced by a more “advanced” and modern four-cylinder 2AZ-FE with a working volume of 2.4 liters and a power of 160 hp, equipped with an improved VVT-i variable valve timing system. The engine has a timing chain drive and vibration-reducing (even though the motor itself is on hydro bearings!) Balance shafts located near the crankshaft - that is, not where they are easiest to put, but where they are most needed. In addition, the crankshaft itself is offset relative to the axis of the cylinders, which allows you to "stretch" the passage of the TDC piston in time and improve power performance. The disadvantages of this engine (often found with an aluminum cylinder block) include the lack of repair dimensions and increased demands on oil viscosity. Viscosity is indicated on the dipstick or oil filler cap and leaves no room for experimentation, otherwise you can say goodbye to the declared motor resource of 400-450 thousand km. But despite the apparent ingenuity of the design, the insides of the 2AZ-FE are extremely simple and understandable, and the repair of this engine is not difficult. Although not cheap - work on the simplest "chemical" restoration of the mobility of piston rings (without even looking inside the motor) will cost almost 800 rubles.
At the top of the first generation RX300/Harrier engine lineup is the 1MZ-FE 3.0-litre V6 with 201-223 hp. (depending on measurement standard). This motor with two camshafts in each head and four valves per cylinder has established itself as a reliable and inexpensive power unit to maintain (provided that it was not “killed” during the American operation on the Lexus RX300). But if the Yankees “spoiled” the engine with cheap oil, the rear crankshaft oil seal is inevitable. The oil seal itself is a cheap part, but replacing it requires removing the subframe, removing the automatic transmission and hanging the engine. For Toyota Harrier, such a problem is irrelevant, and the most time-consuming operation here is the regular (every 10-20 thousand km) replacement of spark plugs. Candles with platinum or iridium electrodes (from 500 rubles / piece) do not last longer on our gasoline. Valve clearances are adjusted using washers, but intervention here may be required only after 200,000 km. Replacing the timing belt (together with rollers and oil seals) will cost 2000 rubles without the cost of spare parts (1200 for the Gates belt and 2000 for the original plus 250 rubles / oil seal). Other than any significant investment in the engine, with the exception of regular oil and filter changes, is not required. But you will have to tinker with replacing the fuel filter - it is installed in the tank along with the fuel pump and, according to the rules, should change after the pump has been removed from the tank for a long time. In practice, such a procedure is often performed “by touch”, without removing the pump, but at the same time, the o-ring almost always jumps off. The result is a pressure drop in the fuel line and a lack of thrust from the motor.
Winner's trophy
The popularity of these cars (in our case, it is more appropriate to talk about the Toyota Harrier) is quite understandable. And the point here is not even mythical prestige like "This is also a Lexus, only right-handed." Rather, preference is given to a successful combination of elementary practicality with first-class comfort. In addition, the very idea of a "SUV" in relation to our conditions is very attractive. Firstly, this is a car for every day, not afraid of broken and snowy roads. Secondly, in terms of its driving characteristics, such a car is practically not inferior to a passenger car. Thirdly, the useful volume of the cabin and trunk (for whom this is relevant) is comparable to a minivan. Fourthly, with all the "off-road" appearance, such a car in operation turns out to be much cheaper than a full-fledged jeep. And fifthly, it is really prestigious, especially since the price of the "used" RX300/Harrier is not the most affordable. For example, a 1998 Toyota Harrier with all-wheel drive and a 2.2-liter engine is valued at $18,000, but a similar two-wheel drive car is offered at $900 more. Harrier of the same 1998, but with a 3-liter V6, 4WD and automatic transmission with manual mode costs $21,500. There is no unity in pricing for cars produced in 2000: Toyota Harrier with leather interior, three-liter 1MZ-FE and all-wheel drive is estimated at $25,550, while an identical car “without leather” is put up for sale for $26,300. However, Lexus still holds the championship - for the "American" RX300 of 1999 with a two-year local run, a three-liter V6 and all-wheel drive, they ask for as much as $28,500.
Information about the potential novelty was published by the Rosstandart website: its electronic library lists OTTS for the Toyota C-HR crossover, valid from December 31, 2016 to December 30, 2019.
With some stylistic similarity with the Toyota model, it is noticeably larger (wheelbase - 2640 mm, length - 4360 mm) and belongs to the size class C.
The C-HR is one of the first vehicles created within the framework of the new global architecture (Toyota New Global Architecture), which extends the modular design principle not only to bodies and chassis, but also to power units. The base engine for the Russian version of the crossover is a 1.2-liter gasoline downsized "turbo-four", producing a maximum of 116 hp. power and 185 Nm of torque, the latter being available in a wide range from 1500 to 4000 rpm. The alternative 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine with 148 hp. peak thrust is slightly higher at 189 Nm, and it is only available in a narrow range from 3800 to 3900 rpm. But the aspirated can be fed with 92nd gasoline.
Versions with a turbo engine are exclusively front-wheel drive, but there is a choice for gearboxes: 6-speed manual or CVT. Equipped with a 2.0-liter aspirated crossover can only be with all-wheel drive and a CVT.
The list of basic equipment includes an air conditioner and an ERA-GLONASS rescue module.
Unfortunately, there is no clarity regarding the start of sales: the Toyota press office told us that the decision on the supply of C-HR to our country has not yet been made, but we dare to assume that since the car was certified, and in addition with Europe with an atmospheric gasoline engine, the stylish crossover will still appear in Russian showrooms.
In favor of a positive decision regarding the supply of C-HR, the imminent one also indirectly speaks, and this is a much more niche model. It is clear that without localization, the C-HR can cost at the level of RAV4 and even more, but it will certainly find its buyer, because if the image of an ideal car for housewives has been fixed behind the “rafik”, then young and independent people who are looking for stylish, outstanding urban crossover - are there many of these today in our market in the non-premium segment?
- In mid-January, Toyota resumed taking orders for a mid-size crossover in Russia.
- Read about other potential new products on the Russian market this year in ours.
Toyota C-HR is a compact SUV from the Japanese automaker, which has taken a place in the company's lineup one step below the mid-size one. The world premiere of the production version of the Toyota C-HR took place at the Geneva Motor Show 2016.
The design of the new Toyota C-HR 2018 model (photos, configurations and prices) was developed by specialists from both the Japanese and European divisions of the company. And we must give them their due - the car ready for production turned out to be in many ways similar to the original concept, first shown at the Paris Motor Show in 2014.
Options and prices Toyota C-HR 2019
MT6 - 6-speed manual, CVT - CVT, 4WD - four-wheel drive
Externally, the new Toyota C-HR 2018 will hardly leave anyone indifferent. The car was endowed with a sporty look with aggressive bumpers, muscular wheel arches, a falling roof with a soaring effect, a stylish spoiler over the trunk lid and complex stampings on the sidewalls.
In the modern world, many buyers are willing to pay money for the unusual appearance of a car, leaving practicality in the background. From the very beginning, the Japanese positioned the C-HR as a driver's SUV with excellent handling, so the scanty windows in the rear doors and the low roof clearly do not imply comfortable transportation of passengers.
The Japanese declassified the interior of the crossover only three months after its debut. Inside, the 2018-2019 Toyota CHP received an asymmetric center console slightly turned towards the driver, and crowned it with a large 8.0-inch color touchscreen display of the Touch 2 multimedia system. In addition, the company paid special attention to finishing materials, which were chosen with an eye for premium.
Specifications
The Toyota C-HR is based on the new TNGA modular chassis, on which the generation hatchback is built. From the latter, they also borrowed the technical stuffing for the hybrid version of the SUV.
Recall that it includes a 1.8-liter engine with a capacity of 98 forces, an electric motor with 72 hp, a variator and a set of nickel-hydride batteries. The total return is 122 hp.
In addition, the lineup includes a 1.2-liter turbo engine with a return of 115 hp. (185 Nm) and a two-liter gasoline aspirated engine with a capacity of 150 forces (in the Russian specification 148 hp and 189 Nm). The latter is available only with a CVT, while the former can be either with a manual transmission (exclusively front-wheel drive), or with an upgraded CVT variator (the drive can be either front or all-wheel drive). In the future, the appearance of a “warmed up” modification is not ruled out.
The overall length of the Toyota C-HR 2018 in the new body is 4,360 mm, the wheelbase is 2,640, the width is 1,795, the height is 1,565, the ground clearance (clearance) is 160 millimeters, and the trunk volume is 370 liters. The front-wheel drive version with the initial engine takes 10.9 seconds to accelerate from standstill to hundreds, the all-wheel drive, coupled with CVT, does this in 11.4 seconds, the maximum speed is 180 and 190 km / h, respectively.
What is the price
Toyota C-HP is positioned as a global model - it was decided to sell it around the world. The novelty appeared on the European market in the first half of 2017, and in Russia the car received vehicle type approval (OTTS), but the representative office constantly postponed the launch of the all-terrain vehicle on our market.
The fact is that the production of C-HR is carried out at an enterprise in Turkey, so its prices here could be higher than the larger RAV4 produced in St. Petersburg. Nevertheless, we still started selling the SUV on June 1, 2018 at a price of 1,299,000 rubles, and all configurations were strictly tied to specific modifications.
- initial version Ride- This is a 1.2-liter turbo engine, front-wheel drive and manual transmission, and the equipment includes front airbags, a light sensor, air conditioning, power accessories, an audio system with four speakers and 17-inch wheels. The salon here is fabric, and the headlights are halogen, the surcharge for metallic coloring is 17,000 rubles, and for mother-of-pearl - 25,500.
- Equipment Hot(1,720,000 rubles) implies a two-liter aspirated 148 forces and a variator that transmits traction to the front axle. There are already six airbags, a rain sensor, dual-zone climate control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with heating, an 8.0-inch touchscreen media system with a rear-view camera, as well as heated front seats and a windshield.
- Top performance Cool(2,133,000 r) the only one comes with all-wheel drive, the engine is a 115-horsepower turbo 1.2 and a CVT. Such a car boasts diode lighting, a two-tone body color, a keyless entry function, rear parking sensors, a blind spot monitoring system and an assistant when leaving the parking lot.
