By / 9 years ago / News / No Comments

Marked out as the first full hybrid model within the segment, the C-HR follows in the footsteps of the concept cars seen at Paris in 2014 and Frankfurt in 2015.

Built on Toyota’s New Global Architecture Platform (TNGA), the C-HR will be offered with a number of powertrains, depending on the market.

This includes the full hybrid power plant, which uses Toyota’s latest 1.8-litre hybrid system and offers CO2 emissions of less than 90g/km.

Also offered will be the 115hp 1.2 litre turbo engine first shown in the Auris with a choice of six-speed manual gearbox or a CVT system in front-wheel or four-wheel drive versions. 

A 2.0-litre CVT-only model will also be available but only for certain markets.
