Another amazing review, great work guys! Just one thing to mention as an Ex-Toyota/Lexus service advisor in Darwin, one thing we found for the CHR's in terms of ownership was that, compared to other more mainstream models like the Corolla, Camry, Prado etc, the CHR has really weird Tyre sizes, and therefore it would always cost owners like 3x as much to get their tyres replaced than most other models - perhaps this was also contributed to due to our remote location in Darwin, and such uncommon tyres as CHR tyres were not stocked readily in Darwin all the time, but I'd imagine it would be a similar story down south. So yeah, just some potential value to add to this video, if you're looking to buy a CHR, make sure you're getting the best price possible on tyres as they can be very pricey due to their uncommon size. Cheers

Well done! I have a 2019 CHR XLE with TRD performance part here in the States. I also love the way it looks. It is my daily and I have had ZERO issues with it. It does take me a long time to wash it because I treat all the plastics on the outside and it has a lot of exposed plastics but after 5 years of daily use, the car still looks and drives like new. Actually there was one issue when things were not displaying correctly on my dash board but that was because the battery was going out (I have a 2.0 liter non hybrid) and the issues were fixed with a new battery. Again there is something to be said about that legendary Toyota quality. I looks forward to having this car for a long time to come.

The 2.0 has adequate power, the JBL sound system is great for long drives to work and I love the interior. I will testdrive the new C-HR, but I doubt that I'll decide to swap my current one - the price hike look too insane at the moment :/

An interesting used review. I have a 2019 model, 1.2 litre turbo with a 6-speed manual. Purchased Feb. 2020. I’ve had no issues at all. It isn’t a road burner, but with a manual transmission I can get the most out of the engine. And in sport mode, I can get a little extra pep. On long trips I have managed 4.8 litres per 100 K’s. Very good on fuel. Overall, I’m still very happy with it. I would have liked to have seen a mention about the manual, and what the mechanic thought about the manual too. Otherwise, an interesting review. 👍

I fiddled with the indicator/flasher and wiper stalks and noticed the when you operate one, the one on the other side moves. Toyota cheapness + that digital clock from the 80s! The boot was small, the back seating quite claustrophobic.. Also priced high in comparison. 😂 You're 💯 right when you said it just doesn't inspire you. Just those exterior looks are fantastic.

I wouldn't say I love mine, but it's a very good car. Lots of kit, a good look, economical and reliable. Not super quick, and not much room in the back or the trunk/boot. The infotainment system is aweful, but I use my phone. Only one USB port. Nearly 50k miles and no issues. I need more luggage space and 4WD, so I'm upgrading to the RAV. But, if the CH-R is right for you, it's a good choice.

The funny thing about these types of cars is that, although typically car journalists cannot rationalise buying one, the crossovers will somehow be the best selling segment.

The CH-R to me always looks like a pissed off Rav4 for some reason. Like the new video format layout but one thing that'd be good would be a bit of music for the transitions between segments. Surprised at how practical yet aesthetically pleasing the interior is. Was considering one of these for myself but the blind spot and non-mechanical problems, while rare, are pushing me towards the Lexus that shares the same platform or a Mazda CX-6. Good video guys and look forward to next week's videos as per usual 👍.

Any chance of a review on Australias least know car? With a TBTL factor of just 0.25, but with one of the most useful and clever floor plans, as comfortable as an old Lexus, drives like a Camry, but has a huge belly. With zero claustrophobia in the rear, or rear rear seats. Air conditioning for everyone, very popular in Singapore, which also happens to be the most expensive country in the world to own a car. Seats fold to create a perfectly flat floor for camping or hauling crap. Not a Tarago or Alphard. Sold officially in Straya from 2001 to 2010. What could it possibly be?

Think for me the blind spots on the car are enough reason to not buy one, just buy a corolla or Yaris instead if you are after a small hybrid. If I buy something small myself I want a sporty manual car so that would rule out the corolla and yaris unless you get the GR.

Don't go near them if they aren't the hybrid. Non hybrid CVT transmissions can have massive issues. The eCVT transmissions on the hybrid are indestructible. I have a 1.8l hybrid and I don't think it is underpowered. It is less powerful than any diesel I've owned but I love it still.

@stevenv2190 6 ай бұрын

The K114 CVT has major issues (check the C-HR forums) and most likely from driver abuse and lack of fluid flushing. I had my 2018 flushed at 30k miles. May have the pand dropped and CVT filter changed at 45k miles due to my C-HR being nearly six years old.

In the UK you get a 10 year warranty up to 100,000 MILES so long as you have the car serviced annually at a Toyota dealer If you want some extra excitement look at the new C-HR plug in Hybrid, 7. Something seconds 0 to 62mph (100kmh) We have had ours 6 years with only 1 issue, a flat battery during COVID as what not driven for 3 months, and the battery has not given any problems since The proof of the pudding is it cost £30k in 2018 and they still sell for £15k+ with less than 40.000 miles and it is not surprising with so few problems and 4 years of warranty still. My Jaguar I Pace cost £65k 5 years ago and only worth £20k now, but better to drive than the C-HR😂😂😂 Great and honest review by yourself

No flat spots and smooth if droney power delivery in the C-HR . hated the dark interior of the C-HR always thought we should have got the new Corolla wagon in Australia instead of this overstylised SUV.

These aren't meant to be family car, suits 1 or 2 people and its quite comfortable. Rear traffic alert helps with the blind spot, that is its most annoying feature but being a short car it easy to park anyway. It's not a rocket but have never felt unsafe on the highway. It's perfectly fine around suburbia where it's aimed. The other annoying thing is the time it takes for reversing camera to engage. Mine looks pretty much new and its a 2017 so wear and tear on a looked after vehicle is not an issue. Very economical despite 95Ron on the turbo.

I'm sorry, just... No. I appreciate that its styling is a bit adventurous and different, but in a crowded segment like this, where there are so many options, I just don't see it. Where's the main selling point? The CH-R has massive blind spots, limited practicality (compare it to a Corolla for size and space), a miserable environment for backseat passengers, and that woefully underpowered powertrain (57.4 kW/t?! And saddled with a CVT on top of it all). If this was entry-level first car money, I'd understand the appeal, but you'd have to be mad to drop the 45K dealers are asking (even for a demonstrator model) on this and get what is basically 2010 Toyota Yaris performance.

People wanting a sporty car will absolutely avoid the CVT, visibility is a bit annoying at times, the trunk door is really, really heavy and the trunk has a big load lid (that's why it's certainly not ideal for elderly people or small females).

Toyota C-HR (coupe-hi riding)

@joshjoshspangler 7 ай бұрын

I saw one of these the other day and thought it looked pretty cool. Went home to do some research only to find out it's underpowered and not surprisingly, over priced. Surely this should have come out with a 2 litre turbo! Looks like Japan are back to making underpowered cars like they did in the 80's with models like the 4runner; big car/truck/SUV whatever you want to call it with a tiny underpowered engine. The last time I saw power figures like this was also in the 80's. I guess if all you're doing is driving around town and you're a hairdresser, this car is for you. But at that price, I'd prefer something else....anything else. Underpowered and over priced, pity it looks so good.

You're quite right about the Toyota line up. Their cars are very down in power but every now and then they'll get the GR Dept to make a performance version. There's too large a gap between the normal engines and the HR versions. The recent hype Toyota has been getting is only due to their GR versions. GR 86, GR Supra, GR Yaris, GR Corolla. Otherwise no younger people would even pay attention.

I live in the UK and do 90% of driving in the city, 30-40mph max. The hybrid system has very good pickup at those speeds. But none of that really matters when I get over 80mpg on some runs and i have peace of mind with 10 years warranty

@@mdo yeah good point. I guess if that's the sort of driving you're doing, then this car is spot on as I mentioned in my post. Here in Australia, it's under powered and dangerous for overtaking on our many freeways, highways and main roads.

The 1.2 Litre engined version is the one to avoid. I cannot comprehend why they brought that to the market - unless it was just for the school run by timid soccer mums - or as a first car for new drivers. Go for the 1.8 or 2.0 Litre Hybrid versions. The latter will NOT disappoint in terms of acceleration or agility for the average user. If you’re a racer demon, buy a GR version.

I was once homeless, and got taken to an appointment at public housing a few years ago. The case manager called it gutless and I made my way to finding a place just to avoid being in one of these things again.

I always thought it was Toyota copying Honda. Especially the tail lights/rear spoiler. And even the name.

Mazda. Nicer to drive, better visibility with a traditional design. The competitor to this would be a CX-30 that’s only been around since 2020. It’s better car but more expensive bc you can’t get a 2016 version like you can with this one.

How did you not get a hybrid for a review..

@ReDriven 7 ай бұрын

We don’t have free pick of cars for our reviews. We survive mostly off our viewers offering up their cars for us to shoot. While a hybrid would be nice, the opportunity came up to shoot this one, and we can’t refuse the opportunity without any guarantee we’d get offered a hybrid down the track
