The official premiere of the Toyota C-HR coupe crossover took place in the spring of 2016, although the conceptual version of the model was demonstrated by the Japanese back in 2014.

In 2019, the car underwent minor modernization, as a result of which the exterior and interior were slightly retouched, as well as the line of power plants was expanded.

The novelty received an attractive and bold appearance, a high-quality and well-tailored interior, as well as productive and economical power plants. According to the manufacturer, the model is designed for a youth audience who wants to stand out from the crowd and emphasize their individuality.

External appearance

The new Toyota C-HR stands out qualitatively against the background of competitors and will definitely not be able to be unnoticed even in a tight city stream. The reason for this is its striking, bold and modern design.

The front part of the body meets with large head optics with LED running lights, a relief hood, a laconic false radiator grille and a huge mouth of the air intake, along the edges of which the manufacturer has placed compact round foglights.

The dynamic and knocked-down profile flaunts inflated wheel arches, a coupe-like roofline, powerful "splashes" on the sidewalls and a rising window line.

The most daring element of the body is the stern, where the manufacturer installed fanciful side lights, a faceted bumper and an intricate tailgate.

The dimensions of the Toyota C-HR 2020 exactly correspond to the concept of a subcompact crossover:

The ground clearance height is 160 mm, which is enough for a comfortable ride both in the city and beyond. But it is worth remembering that the Toyota C-HR is an urban crossover, in which it is not advisable to drive on serious off-road.

Buyers of new items have the right to choose one of several body colors, as well as the external design of the rims, which complement the overall style of the car.

Salon Toyota C-HR 2020

The Toyota C-HR salon is focused on the driver, who is offered a comfortable three-spoke multifunction steering wheel and a highly informative dashboard, represented by a pair of deep wells and an on-board computer LCD screen.

In the central part of the dashboard there is an 8-inch capacitive screen of the multimedia information center, directly under which there is a block of air duct deflectors and a climate system control panel. The quality of finishing materials, assembly and ergonomics are traditionally very high for Toyota cars.

The front passengers are offered comfortable seats with good lateral support, high-quality upholstery, heating and a wide range of adjustments (there is even an electric drive).

Between the front seats is a high center console, where the armrest, cup holders, gearbox selector and several mechanical buttons are located.

The rear sofa is profiled for two riders, but in practice, a third passenger can also fit here. True, it is worth admitting that there is no free space here, which is especially noticeable by the small amount of free space above the heads.

The trunk volume is 370 liters, which is not much, but which will be enough for daily trips to the supermarket for groceries. If necessary, the volume of the trunk can be increased, for this you need to fold the backs of the rear sofa, which in the lowest position form a flat loading area.
