Is it an EV? If not I’m not interested in old tech.

To be honest, this non 2 tone version looks better. Pay less, looks better.

Quality review. Price is absolute madness.

180k Km with 1st gen Chr and it seems like new. Never had a problem. Now i'm waiting for the new one, buyed with stunning offer during the presentation day. Next monday will be mine, can't wait.

Compared to my current CHR there’s two main things I do not like about the New CHR - 1. Pop out door handles 2. No back wiper But, other than that it’s not a bad looking motor and the addition of the Panoramic Roof is big plus if you can afford that model 😬 GREAT VID 👍

Quality review and video. Cheers

Thank you. I’m considering purchasing one. I appreciate your review & opinion.

I know looks are subjective, but I think the last model was a better looking car. I know 2 people that have them and they seem very happy with efficiency.

Is there a setting that allows you to limit the battery charging to 80% or something to prolong the battery life?

I’ve seen 2 of these on the road recently and I have to say it is lovely. The styling is great. Obviously it’s not the most practical car, the rear seats are a bit cramped. But you definitely would manage a couple of kids back there no problem. I love the interior. Very nice. But yeah prices are really creeping up.

Took delivery of my C-HR GR last week, love it. I live in rural France and so far not tested it on the autoroute, my last one cruised well so expecting this one to do the same. As someone of shorter height the self adjusting drivers seat is a great addition, once you get used to it sliding back when you switch the engine off😅.

Great review, I was very interested as I’m picking mine up early next week, I was quite surprised at the prices Irish folk will be paying, I live in the Canary islands, I’m getting a 2.0 Limited Edition, so good spec, and it’s 35.500€ on the road!

Great review. On my 23 CHR from android auto, you can get back to home screen by going to apps,select Toyota app, and you're back to home screen. The voice search button, quick press, you're in Toyota system, press and hold, you'll get Google Assistant if on android auto. Safety system saved me once already from on coming driver who turned across my lane... car emergency braked before I could.

Fun fact: the chassis is shared with the Corolla Cross, the latter having considerably more rear space. That is really my only gripe with the C-HR.

I like CHR period. That's what am going for.

Looks really nice with some great upgrades inside but it is very expensive.

There is a "toyota" Icon in the carplay menu that takes you back. But yeah i getcha! a dedicated on would have been nice

Test drove one last week . 6ft 1 33 inch leg , son behind me same height and space genuinely OK. On your the pics the seat was further back than I would have it at my height but I don't know your height. All cars have increased in price , the pcp rental is similar to the last car as it has a higher residual. Probably buying for my wife as we got 62 mpg on the test drive nearly double the VW, Bmw and Kia automatics we also drove.

They finally made the C-HR cool and then pulled it from Canada 😭 It's WAY better looking than the Corolla Cross, I would have gotten this!

Nice balanced review. This is a great looking car, particularly the interior, which until now, has been a bit underwhelming from Toyota. However, their reliability is second to non. I’ve had a little Yaris for about 7 years but am now thinking of getting one of these.

Great review. A small petrol car for a price of a Tesla. Unless you're a corporate or a taxi driver, very bold pricing.

What's the clunk noise? I didn't understand that part.

This model headlights have unlock high beam animation? Greatings fron Lithuania😊

What do you think about a couple of car seats in the back for kids? Got a decent offer on a lease but I’m not sure

Best economy achievable on these cars and all newer Toyota hybrids if you use Eco Model, auto air con and radar cruise control. Getting 4.5 ltr p/100km mostly from 23 chr. Warmer weather near 4ltr p/100km. Road noise for me noticeable at 120km in chr and rav4. I came from 1.6tdi Golf. Only thing I miss is sound insulation on VW. Chr drives beautifully. Boot in terms of litres is less than golf but chr boot in 23 model is wide and more practical for me than Golf. Golf has more depth, but that is sometimes wasted space. I get two more shopping bags left to right than golf.

Sadly it is not possible to turn off the daytime running lights, even in PARK, so with the small 12v battery, charging via the motor the lights are on all the time.

Any idea what the new land cruiser will be going for? Looking forward to a review of that.

Recently sold the 2021 koba hybrid decided that the new model is much better featured than the one i sold but in the end bought a new demo top spec Subaru Crosstrek way better value all round with that go anywhere feeling and with all the latest saftey features Toyota make great vehicles but are tending to get rather expensive plus long delivery times here in Australia Would i be tempted again ? with a CH-R definately no i was seduced by the funky styling in 21 but over time the car lost its appeal

I own two previous generation Chr and for the price I bought them they are great! But what I can say for sure is that chr is not a 40k car

I was considering this as a next car…..but €40,000 is one big chunk of money. That’s sneaking into the territory of more prestigious cars. A few other posts have hinted at, get a more conventional car with a bit less economy but a much lower initial price tag. Must be some formula for working out where the break point is.

How do you think it stacks up against the Yaris Cross? Seems a similar size car for a more affordable price

Always better waiting until the teething problems are sorted with the face lift model, its just the same time after time!

Hi Nobby ,Is the A/C Loud like the Hybrid Yaris?

Drove a C-HR years ago and told me i could only use cruise control on the motorway. Is it still the same with this iteration.

This newly revised car is so much more expensive than the old model....

No voice command is not the only way to go back to the Toyota native menu… you just need to press the Toyota App icon in the CarPlay screen…

So many complications that increase the price enormously (over 35,000 euros) - 3 engines, battery, ultra-complicated gearbox, etc., all to get a consumption of 5l/100 km in the real world, in the conditions that a 1.5 DCI engine super-simple on an antique Dacia Logan of 7,000 euros consumes 4.5 l/100km under the same conditions. This is only because Toyota is marked by a visceral hatred (of the boss) for electric cars. I kept an old Logan for a maximum of 2-3 long trips a year, for the rest (in the city and surroundings) I use an electric Dacia Spring of 8,000 euros, which consumes a maximum of 11-12 kWh/100km, i.e. less than 1.5 l gasoline/100km, so a maximum of a third of the consumption of this enormously priced Japanese Frankenstein.

With that kind of pricing it was a good idea to take off the market in Canada as they would not sell any. Seriously over priced even with the current crazy prices.

I've not tested it yet but saw it on another vidéo : - If you have the Toyota app in your iPhone, it will appear in CarPlay. - Then one press on the toyota Icon and it will switch from carplay to the embedded multimedia system. So it is in fact very easy to switch back, but it needs this one pre requisite (which may not be the most intuitive... but once you know it, it make this little drawback disappear

I think the interior is a step up compared to previous model. However, the exterior especially from the back it’s a bit of a mixed bag… Also I think it’s too expensice for the size, decent spec on configurator is closer to 45k on the road price…

Nobody shows under the carpet in the boot or under the bonnet in these reviews. Why? I could give a crp about the screens. Does it have any kind of a spare? What does the drive system look like?

Lexus LBX will eat into CHR sales, cheaper and faster albeit not an elevated seating position.

Lexus LBX costs less? How do they compare?

I bought one of the last previous generation chr. Im glad that i did,because here in my country(Slovenia) there is no logic in prices for new model. For same trim level,you need to pay more but you receive less stuff. Total nonsense :/

You don't have to say "hey Toyota" after pressing the voice button on the wheel. The button bypassing that need.

It's very expensive and unlike our CHR Excel, the new one does not have in UK heated steering wheel!

Is this new model available in the U.S.?

Confised about the CarPlay comment, I’ve a focus and the only way back to the sync system is by clicking the ford app icon. Is that not common knowledge?

One of the gem 💎 of Toyota. I still have my old CHR this is my long driving car. I’m not worried about my pocket.😁 Reliability Safety Economy Smooth Honestly the down side the performance. But I don’t mine coz I’m not in a hurry anyway. But if I’m in hurry my thirsty camel Lexus sport sedan will give stress mode.😁

You say in Toyota there is a lot of rattle, does it include this model as well?

I still think the Corolla has a better interior.

Too expensive @ €40k, it's a couples or singles car as rear room is very tight

This is definitely my favourite colour and favourite styling. I really don't like the two tone paint that covers half of the car. I like it only when the roof is black but nothing else. This new CH-R is really stunning. I did like the exterior of the previous model, but the interior was too dated. Also the car I test drove was grossly underpowered. I think it was a 1.2 ltr. For this model, definitely a 2 ltr. I also really like the interior of this new model and I'm glad Toyota didn't go for a long curved screen. I prefer this more traditional cluster and separate screen. The price is a stretch though. I might wait a year or two and get a second-hand one. I will test drive it though. I'm in NZ and they arrive here in a few months.

Thanks Nobby great review . How anyone could live with that car is beyond me . Infuriating doesn’t do it justice.

Like the new shape but too small for rear passengers so not for me

How much better is this than say the Juke Hybrid?

Mark, yet again another from the gut honest review. H'mmm? A 'reasonable car, ruined! Over done in every sense. Cheers.

For 40k don’t you guys have the RAV4?

Side profile looks like previous gen. Honda Civic after a bit of sharpening.

Don't like it and to expensive, I don't want a digital dash but I spare wheel would be nice. Added to that in mainland Britain any car over £40.000 attracts a huge amount of additional road tax.

Toyota has really slipped in quality and reliability. I’ve known so many people when their leases end that have gone to Mazda, Subaru, sometimes Honda can’t blame them.

First 💪

They are very fuel efficient and pretty impressive performance as well. Ergonomics are good and seats very comfortable. As you say, the legroom in rear is non existent. The price is high as a new model, so maybe buy 6 months or year old used example later.

🍷🤔SMH…The reduce size of the all-new CH-R is a major issue for me.

As someone who is choosing between a yaris cross and chr: The small window and cramped feeling in the back for passengers is steering me away from choosing CHR. VERY VERY VERY BAD DESIGN!!! A shame to you CHR designer! And the price is that high that you might as well go for the Rav4 or even a Corolla Cross instead. I see no points to go for the Meh middle ground CHR since they put this price. I totally can understand why people would go for a Yaris Cross due to its attractive price. CHR has really no nische.

If you like that bi tone colour get the cheaper car n get back end wrapped for few €00

could be shorter … golf sized😊

Shame it won’t sell the deposits needed in the uk are seriously high

Motorway driving in heavy rain and no rear wiper, you can't see what's behind....a dangerous omission by toyota not having a rear wiper....

No1 the price is ridiculous. Forty two Grand for the top off range. This for basically a run about no thanks. I had the old model for two years the icon model didn't even have a Sat Nav.

Too expensive for an entry model . I would think the Mazda 3 2.0 l 186PS would be a better buy and more powerful .

Old version already have Toyota Safety Sense. For me, this car doesn't make sense. Small boot, huge price. This is a crossover, aka FAKE SUV. If you top up 4k you will get a RAV4. This car doesn't make any sense.

40k for a new CHR? Wow.

Why are cars so expensive in Ireland? Screwed on tax and s&#t public transport. It’s a joke

Why are testers and the public so obsessed with Apple Car Play or Android Auto? These feature alone a good car doth not make.

The good, the bad and it's ugly compared to the previous version.

Too small and too expensive

Toyota has dropped the ball, no longer the most reliable car maker. Only CVT policy gonna hurt them big time. Now Mazda is the new Toyota.

Looks like it's been designed with some left over Lego bricks

Can't understand a word!

New Toyota model designs, to me, look like they are being based on drawings made by 10 year old boys imagining futuristic cars. The BZ4XER672 or whatever stupid name they gave it is the same.

Nice video! Very expensive. ugly face it’s like a Chinese cartoon…. Small rear windows. The doors don’t open a lot same problem like Yaris Yaris cross Corollas. If you don’t buy the extra panoramic roof, it has a black roof, which is very ugly. You feel like you are in a smaller car Claustrophobic. I don’t know what happened in the Toyota design center. If Toyotas don’t have the hybrid system I am sure Toyota will not sell all these cars. And the last bad thing is that the car is made in Turkey…….

Over styled …very angular…..much like the Honda civic….personally not a fan of the looks..
