Toyota launches C-HR compact crossover in the UAE

Al- Futtaim Toyota has launched the all-new Toyota C-HR compact SUV in the UAE. With the new model, the brand seeks to capitalise on the fact that it is the only hybrid in its class.

A new ‘clean-sheet’ design with coupe-like profile and sharp lines, the C-HR points to the brand’s future design language in this hotly contested segment.

With claims to the lowest fuel consumption in its category, the C-HR delivers average economy figures of 23.9 kilometres per litre.

The C-HR is built on the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) platform, which promises an involved driving experience. Toyota claims the low centre of gravity and double-wishbone rear suspension contribute to greater stability and handling along with better ride comfort.

The cabin is clean and simple in its layout, with the dashboard incorporating a 4.2-inch colour LCD Multi-Information Display and a 7-inch centre display with an onboard multimedia system and full smartphone integration.

Toyota says the seats are “ultra-supportive” and the dual-mode air conditioning system adds to the comfort and convenience of the driver and passengers.

The compact crossover comes with a 1.8-litre full-hybrid powertrain delivering a total output of 121 horsepower with power sent to the wheels through a continuously variable automatic transmission.

The C-HR comes equipped with an array of active and passive safety features including Vehicle Stability Control, Electronic Brakeforce Distribution, Tyre Pressure Warning System, and Hill-start Assist Control among others.
