Voila, next generation hybrid pushes sustainability further: Toyota
Compact size and innovative European design make Toyota’s latest C-HR its most stylish yet. The coupé-like design, powerful hybrid performance, and advanced technology, make it a joy to drive and to look at.
The new generation C-HR boasts a fabulous new design and a range of cutting-edge technologies, bound to impress even the most discerning drivers. Add to that hybrid electric powertrains boasting increased power, and greater driveability, and it’s a winner on the open road and round urban streets.
The new C-HR is marginally shorter and wider than the current model giving it a striking, sporty, stance on the road, further enhanced by its coupé-like profile, short overhangs, and up to 19-inch alloy wheels.
More striking than the original, its European-esque design refinements put it a step above the crowd in the mid-size crossover SUV market. Think style and function in beautiful synergy. Two-tone paints, contrasting roof, slimline LED headlights, aero-led styling and even this season’s must-have full-width rear light bar are all design features. Inside has been supercharged with a premium feel, including lush new textures and patterns, and materials that offer a luxurious ride.
Legroom and boot space are generous, whether it’s a golf trip or a shopping excursion, experience a ride of ultimate comfort. Of note are the new-look, modern instrument and touchscreens bringing the C-HR totally up to date with technology, for seamless ease and entertainment when driving.
The fact that the new C-HR was conceived and built in Europe, contributes to its “super-coupé” profile. The front of C-HR presents the new face for Toyota SUVs, seen also on the all-electric bZ4X. If you’re looking for a dynamic, sharply styled and high performing small SUV, this is the one.

In keeping with Toyota New Zealand’s determination to continue reducing its tailpipe carbon emissions from its portfolio, only hybrid electric powertrains are being offered for the new C-HR.
Two powertrain options are available in New Zealand—a 1.8 litre engine coupled with the latest hybrid electric technology in a Front Wheel Drive format available in three grades, and a 2.0 litre hybrid electric All Wheel Drive GR Sport configuration.
The new 1.8-litre hybrid electric powertrain offers almost 15% more power than the current version, with a combined maximum power output of 103kW. The GR Sport boasts a 2.0-litre hybrid electric powertrain with a total power output of 145kW.
The range also features other innovations and measures to help reduce its carbon footprint. Compared to its predecessor, it has double the content of recycled plastics—used in more than 100 different parts.
