Toyota C-HR car lease deals

Performance and features

The crossover C-HR offers a sportier and more dynamic drive than its rivals, with evenly weighted steering, a firm chassis and front-wheel drive coming as standard across the range. 1.2-litre models can also opt for four-wheel drive, while Sport, Normal and Eco driving modes are standard across the range. Each selection alters the weight of the steering, throttle response and gearbox to suit your driving style and varied road conditions. Both the petrol and hybrid models benefit from a highly responsive CVT gearbox.

The turbocharged 1.2-litre petrol engine is linked to a six-speed manual gearbox and offers 113bhp with 185Nm of torque. The 1.8-litre hybrid combines a perky petrol engine with an electric motor that delivers 120bhp and 142Nm of torque, delivering premium performance and efficiency. Drivers can choose to put the car in EV mode, which carries the C-HR for around a mile in zero emissions mode to prolong battery life when cruising. All models come with 17-inch alloy wheels as standard but these can be upgraded if required.

Interior technology

The Toyota C-HR has a slick and stylish cabin that features an eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system, glossy plastic trims and partial leather seats. Both the entry-level Icon and mid-range Design models benefit from dual zone climate control, automatic headlights and adaptive cruise control, while Design also brings an in-built sat nav with Wi-Fi connectivity. All C-HRs have 60/40 folding rear seats and freely moving seats, although Icons miss out on adjustable lumbar support, which is standard higher in the range. If you’re not sold on the standard six-speaker stereo setup, there’s a JBL unit with nine speakers available as part of the Premium Pack, which also brings upgraded full-black leather seats.
