2018 Toyota C-HR: Fuel-Efficiency and Safety Come First

This is a busy segment with an array of high-quality vehicles, and to stand out with its new C-HR, Toyota will have to offer features other models do not have. Now that the Toyota C-HR has arrived, it seems obvious that the Japanese manufacturer has succeeded in its mission.


Safety is standard in the 2018 Toyota C-HR.

Indeed, the 2018 Toyota C-HR offers what no other subcompact SUV can offer at the moment: active safety systems that come as standard equipment. In other words, the new C-HR offers driver assistance technologies at no additional charge in the entry-level model available starting at $24,690.

These technologies include radar-based Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Departure warning with steering assist, Pre-Collision with Pedestrian Detection and Automatic Headlights.

Again, all of this is standard in the new 2018 Toyota C-HR. The only option you have when you buy a C-HR is to add the XLE Premium group that pushes the bill up to $ 26,290. Otherwise, all C-HRs come standard with 17-inch wheels, heated seats, air conditioning, rearview camera and cruise control.

Opt for the XLE Premium version, and you get keyless entry with push-button start, blind spot monitoring and 18-inch wheels.


A Fuel-Efficient Engine for the New 2018 Toyota C-HR

The 2018 Toyota C-HR is powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine developing 144 horsepower and 139 lb.-ft. of torque. This engine is paired with a CVTi-S continuously variable automatic transmission at no additional charge. This gearbox is used to simulate manual gear changes in order to increase the sporty behavior of the new C-HR.

Better yet, this engine is particularly fuel-efficient with an average fuel consumption rating of only 8.7 liters per 100 kilometers in the city and 7.5 liters per 100 kilometers on the highway. That’s quite impressive for such a versatile vehicle with a trunk that can hold more than 1,000 liters when the rear seat is lowered.
