Until recently, only Lexus could afford something - a car that looks like a concept car! And what kind of name is this - C-HR ... This is not a Honda! Although, when you look at the new “SUV” from behind, you begin to doubt it.
Outside and inside
It felt like the brand's strict management was on vacation while the designers prepared the C-HR for market launch. One way or another, the freedom of action granted to them brought unexpectedly tasty and attractive fruits.
To give birth to such a car after so many years of producing the Camry, beloved by American retirees and Russian officials, is like Paul McCartney suddenly recording a drum and bass album. Only much better!
A coupe-like silhouette with disguised rear door handles (horizontal, by the way, just like on classic Zhiguli!), wheel arch “muscles”, some incredible conglomeration of lines in front and behind, headlights and lanterns “stretched” over the sidewalls ...
Nissan Juke, which once struck a bold image, now looks rather pale in comparison with the C-HR. It's even getting a little scary for auto design - what will you have to draw in another 10 years to make people turn their heads when they get used to C-HR?
By the way, this crossover has something to say to competitors in terms of practicality (this is Toyota!). Juke, Mazda CX-3, Peugeot 2008… they are all smaller! Moreover, the Japanese promise the most spacious interior in the class. Is it so in reality? You will be surprised, but it seems to be true. Behind the wheel of the new C-HR, even a 2-meter driver can easily accommodate. Of course, “by itself” he will not sit down very much, but still, the gallery is more spacious than in the same Juke.

The only negative is the tiny windows, the lack of an armrest and separate air ducts at the back, which is partly offset by the most convenient cup holders in the doors.

The front is met by an unusually contoured asymmetrical and very laconic dashboard, square kilometers of cheap glossy plastic, indestructible blue “hello 2000” lighting and pretty diamond inserts. The chairs are great! They have as little in common with the "good old Toyota" as their appearance. A long pillow, tangible lateral support for the hips and back ... It would have been like that for a long time!

Analog control has been preserved only for the climate control - everything else is configured through a 6-inch tablet with very moderate graphics and touch response speed. Moreover, without support for Apple CarPlay and Android, which is surprising if you remember the updated Camry. Let's hope that Toyota will figure it out with the current software by the time it enters our market. Moreover, the location of the screen is very good - high, at eye level, so you don't have to be too distracted by checking the map along the way.
In move
Those who were waiting for an explosion of emotions not only from design, but also from driving, I have to disappoint. The technique and habits of the C-HR are very similar to the regular Auris.
The basic version is with a 1.2-liter petrol turbo engine with 116 horsepower and 186 Nm, with “mechanics” or a variator. In the city, on such a car, you can still stay in the stream, but it has nothing to do on the highway - acceleration is painfully sluggish, plus after 3,000 rpm the engine sounds frankly unpleasant, and a characteristic transmission howl is added to 4,000, apparently from the variator. And the consumption of 9 liters per 100 kilometers - is it worth all this suffering?
The alternative, however, is poor. Either a hybrid doomed to failure in Russia (the good old 122-horsepower 1.8 plus an electric motor), or an atmospheric 2.0 for 140 hp. With. The latter is most likely optimal for the C-HR, although there was no such car in European tests. Nothing more powerful and more fun is expected. It's a pity!
The chassis - to match the power units - is boring, it cannot stand comparison with the Dzhuk. In corners, rolls, steering with almost no feedback ... But in the pits it doesn’t shake much. The settings for Russia will certainly be rethought, but most likely we will get something tougher than the usual Corolla, but still a compromise.

What is the result?
So, a very bright car with the taste of Lexus and slight hints of Honda. With an interesting interior, excellent seats and frankly boring technical stuffing, designed for an inexperienced driver who just has to move from point A to point B without driver adventures, but spectacularly for others. Sounds like the perfect recipe for Russia! Moreover, competition in the form of the Nissan Juke mentioned here more than once is completely absent.
Toyota lovers, who have grown up in Russia for more than one generation, should be appreciated. The head of the family - Prado or Land Cruiser 200, the wife - RAV4 or Highlander, and the daughter, who has always dreamed of a shocking Mini, can just C-HR. Now the main thing is that there are enough quotas for us, and the price due to foreign origin would not turn out to be too biting.
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.

It is bright, modern, swift and will never get lost in the crowd of other vehicles. At the moment, this is the most compact SUV from the manufacturer, because its length is 4.36 meters. Some of the Toyota C-HR trims are equipped with LED lights, but hidden door handles are available as standard.

Hybrid?
More than 70 percent of cars will be produced with hybrid power plants. If we talk about other technical characteristics of the Toyota C-HR, it is worth noting that the car was equipped with an updated version of the 2ZR-FXE engine (its power is 98 horsepower), as well as a 53 kilowatt electrometer. In general, at the maximum of its capabilities, the SUV can demonstrate the power of 122 horsepower, which is quite good, given the performance of competitors.
The capacity of the traction battery has not changed, as well as the charge-discharge range. This allowed to significantly increase the battery life. The manufacturer provides an 11-year warranty on the battery, regardless of the mileage of the car.

The compact crossover Toyota C-HR 2017-2018 has passed the Russian certification, which gives the right to start selling the model in the Russian Federation. True, while the Japanese are in no hurry to bring the SUV to the Russian market, referring to the difficult economic situation. Nevertheless, the green light from Rosstandart is a good reason to take a closer look at the new Toyota product, since now all the technical characteristics of the car are known with reference to Russia.
First, let's dive a little into the history of the emergence of a new Japanese model. The harbinger of the production car was the three-door futuristic C-HR concept shown at the 2014 Paris Motor Show. A year later, in Frankfurt, a five-door version of the "C-H-era" was presented, obviously closer to the assembly line. Both pre-production versions of the crossover were distinguished by extremely bold and emotional design, unusual for Toyota cars. One could only guess how much the final version of the SUV will resemble its conceptual "brothers". All questions were answered by the Geneva forum in 2016, where the full-fledged debut of the novelty took place, as it turned out, not much departed in terms of design from the source code.
Platform and body dimensions
The new Toyota C-HR 2017-2018 is built on the same platform with. The GA-C "trolley", which is a derivative of the TNGA architecture, was just the right fit for the compact C-class SUV. The overall dimensions of the crossover are as follows: length - 4360 mm, width - 1795 mm, height - 1565 mm. The wheelbase was 2640 mm, the front and rear wheel tracks were 1550 and 1570 mm, respectively. Ground clearance C-HR by the standards of the segment is very modest - 160 mm. A fair share of hatchbacks and sedans have much more solid ground clearance. However, the model is certified as a five-door hatchback, probably, so it will be perceived by many motorists.
Judging by the size of the body, the Toyota C-HR will be a step below. The C-H-era was recorded in the main competitors, although it is noticeably inferior in size (Nissan is 225 mm shorter and 30 mm narrower). Apparently, the similar body format of the models, as well as the eccentric appearance inherent in both cars, played a role here.
Dynamic coupe styling
By launching their project under the name C-HR, the Japanese sought to draw attention to it, first of all, to the youth audience. With this calculation, the configuration was formed, and the design of the SUV was drawn. The final product, it must be admitted, at least did not disappoint. The crossover looks fresh and stylish thanks to the graceful roof dome, powerful wheel arches, interesting sidewalls with incoming stamping waves, original rear doors with compact windows and hidden door handles, elegant stern with spectacular boomerang lights.
Photo Toyota C-HR 2017-2018 model year
Dynamism to the appearance of the car is added by a fin located on the top of the “shark”, a large spoiler on top of the fifth door, frying the sports feed. Despite the fact that the developer sought to give the Toyota CHR a classic shape, the profile of the novelty turned out to be as close as possible to the coupe-like one, and, probably, this only benefited.
New body design
With all the novelty of the appearance of the crossover, he still retained a certain resemblance to other representatives of the Toyota line. So, in the design of the front of the C-HR, you can find a lot in common with the "senior" RAV 4. Family ties can be traced in the design of the head optics and radiator grille, as well as the overall architecture of the front bumper.
Modern interior
The interior of the new Toyota C-HP meets with an unusual four-level configuration of the front panel, with each level having its own color and finishing material. If the upper part is upholstered in something like leather, then below is a thin contour section painted in a certain color, and even lower is an overlay covered with a brilliant “piano” lacquer. The center console turned towards the driver is topped with a large 8-inch screen of the multimedia system, under which there are air vents and a convenient climate control unit. There are no other buttons and switches on the console, so it looks very simple and concise.
Interior with custom front panel
The front seats of the SUV, in addition to being equipped with tenacious side support rollers, offer several combinations of finishes using materials of various shades and textures. Designers have tried to choose the best color combinations for all elements of the interior, so that the interior decoration creates the most pleasant and integral impression.
seat upholstery
The set of equipment prepared for the new Toyota C-HR includes dual-zone climate control, a heated steering wheel, heated seats, a high-quality JBL audio system with a 576-watt amplifier and 9 speakers, and ambient lighting. As standard, the car is equipped with 17-inch wheels with 215/60 R17 tires, 18-inch wheels with 225/50 R18 tires are available in top versions.
Responsibility for the safety of passengers with the driver will be shared by the Toyota Safety Sense system, which includes adaptive cruise control, collision warning with pedestrian recognition (Pre-Collision system), lane keeping control (Lane Departure Alert), automatic headlight switching (Automatic High Beam), Road Sign Assist, Blind Spot Monitor, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Simple Intelligent Parking Assist.
Luggage compartment Toyota C-HR
The cargo compartment of the new Toyota model is far from the most capacious in the segment. With a five-seater layout, up to 370 liters of luggage will fit in the trunk. Again, installing the JBL system subwoofer alone hides about 20 liters, reducing the volume to an even more modest 350 liters.
Specifications Toyota C-HR 2017-2018
In Russia, the new Japanese crossover was certified with two power units - a 1.2-liter 8NR-FTS turbo engine (115 hp, 185 Nm) and a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated 3ZR-FAE (148 hp, 189 Nm). The initial “turbo four” is complemented by a 6-speed manual or Multidrive S CVT. The 2.0-liter engine can rely solely on the CVT. Four-wheel drive relies only on modifications with a continuously variable transmission.
In the European market, you can buy Toyota CHR with a 122 hp hybrid power plant. This version is equipped with a CVT variator and is available only in front-wheel drive. The average fuel consumption of the Toyota C-HR Hybrid is 3.8 liters per 100 km.
The suspension of the car is completely independent: in front - a traditional MacPherson strut with anti-roll bars, in the back - a wishbone design with the same obligatory stabilizers. The brake mechanisms of all four wheels are disc, the gear-rack type steering mechanism is equipped with an electric booster.
Options and prices in Russia
So far, the decision to start sales of Toyota C-HR in Russia has not been made, for which there are objective reasons. Certain obstacles are created by the lack of localization of production (the model is assembled in only one place - at a factory in the Turkish city of Sakarya). So, if the SUV gets to us, then the price can be very biting. It is not excluded that the basic C-HR will be asked for more than the initial RAF-4, currently valued at 1,493,000 rubles.
