The dynamic and concentrated appearance is further enhanced by short overhangs and large wheels measuring up to 20 inches in diameter.

A new style bi-tone paint design is now available, with the contrast black roof extending to the rear bumper and extending into the rear three-quarter section of the car. The design team is working on a “hidden technology” approach to achieve sharper shutlines and perfect integration of features such as cameras, radar and headlight washers. This created a seamless, unified look.

Toyota’s design and aero teams worked closely to ensure the exterior was both aerodynamically efficient and visually striking. As a result, airflow throughout and around the vehicle has been optimized down to the smallest detail, including the precise profile of the front bumper and the shape of the rear roof spoiler.

This allows sudden throttle applications to be delayed if a risk of collision with the vehicle ahead is detected. The new Proactive Driving Assist (PDA) also works at low speeds, smoothly decelerating when the driver releases the throttle when approaching a slower vehicle in front or entering a curve. It is also equipped with a “steering assist” system that recognizes curves in front of the vehicle and adjusts the steering force to support smooth and stable turns.

About the Toyota new C-HR full model change powertrain

The new C-HR is available with a choice of four electric powertrains. These options represent Toyota’s proven multi-technology approach to carbon neutrality. Toyota believes that in order to accelerate the pace of CO2 reduction and successfully transition to zero-emission mobility, Toyota needs to offer diverse options to provide customers with affordable and practical vehicles. There is.

The product lineup includes 1.8L and 2.0L hybrid electric (HEV) versions, as well as a 2.0L plug-in hybrid electric (PHEV) model. The 2.0L HEV version also has the option of intelligent all-wheel drive (AWD-i).

The new model leverages the latest fifth-generation Toyota technology, delivering a best-in-class balance of power gains and low emissions to meet the needs and priorities of customers in the C-segment market. This is achieved through a comprehensive redesign of key hybrid system components, including a new transaxle, power control unit (PCU) and more powerful high-voltage battery.

The 1.8L hybrid powertrain also featured in the new Corolla family focuses on environmental performance and is significantly more powerful than the current 1.8L hybrid electric Toyota C-HR. Furthermore, the Hybrid 200 is an even more powerful proposition, its high output contributing to an efficient hybrid driving experience.

The 2.0L plug-in hybrid is an excellent system with two aspects. It offers a comfortable full electric drive (EV) mode for everyday use and highly efficient hybrid electric performance for long distance trips. The system has true EV functionality with highly competitive range and Regeneration Boost, which provides a “one-pedal”-like driving experience with three operating levels. This can significantly reduce the stress of driving and make traveling in city traffic smoother. Also, when setting a route using your car’s navigation system, it can automatically adjust your drive mode to optimize energy efficiency and find the best opportunities to recharge. Thanks to a new geofencing feature, the Toyota C-HR PHEV automatically switches to EV mode when entering a low emission zone (LEZ).

An AWD-i option is available for the 2.0L HEV version. This option is supported by a compact, high-torque electric motor generator added to the rear axle of the car, which improves traction and stability when starting off, cornering and driving on slippery surfaces. The system is effective over a wide range of vehicle speeds and road conditions.
