The new upgraded Toyota C-HR and an all-new 2.0 litre Hybrid Dynamic Force engine .
The new upgraded 2020 Toyota C-HR benefits from a second, more powerful hybrid system added to the powertrain range. It also features enhanced driving dynamics, more refined interior and exterior design, and an upgraded HMI (Human Machine Interface) featuring the latest multimedia technology.
The introduction of the additional hybrid powertrain gives customers the choice of two different hybrid options, a feature that is unique in the segment. The 122 hp 1.8 litre hybrid system remains, its eco performance enhanced by an upgraded lithium-ion battery, with CO2emissions as low as 109 g/km. (WLTP)
Top of the range is a powerful, 2.0 litre Hybrid Dynamic Force system. Generating 184 hp and CO2emissions from just 118 g/km (WLTP), this system combines high efficiency with a significant increase in power and, through updated suspension and improved NVH, an even smoother, quieter ride and new levels of driving dynamics.
The new Toyota C-HR remains true to its visual identity; its coupe-like lines creating bold styling that continues to stand out both in the Toyota range and the C-SUV segment. Subtle changes to both the front and rear of the car add simplicity, refinement and dynamism, while headlamp and rear light clusters have been reconfigured with the latest LED technology.
On board, the adoption of Toyota’s 2019 Multimedia system now allows full smartphone integration through both ‘Apple CarPlay’* and ‘Android Auto’. Additionally, this system facilitates ‘Over The Air’ map updates to the navigation platform: Toyota delivers the car with a free 3-year subscription for these updates and they are made available every 6 months.
New Toyota C-HR is equipped with an on-board communication system, providing its buyers to enjoy MyT app connected services. For Toyota C-HR launch, a new feature will be released in the app: Hybrid Coaching. This will reinforce Toyota Hybrid leadership by providing personalised coaching message to help drivers to increase their EV drive and by bringing to life Hybrid driving benefits on a daily basis.
POWERTRAINS
Segment-unique choice of two hybrid powertrains - 1.8 and 2.0 litre
New hybrid powertrain features all-new 2.0 litre Hybrid Dynamic Force engine with world-beating 41% thermal efficiency
All-new lighter, more compact hybrid system reflects significant advances in battery, electric motor and petrol engine technologies
1.2 litre turbo powertrain with optional All-wheel Drive (AWD) System
The new, 2020 Toyota C-HR offers customers an expanded, segment-unique powertrain range which features a second, 2.0 litre Hybrid Dynamic Force system positioned at the top of the range.
This fourth generation hybrid powerplant features a new 2.0 litre petrol unit from a completely new family of Toyota engines. Offering reduced internal losses and breakthrough engineering on volumetric efficiency, it develops 112 kW of power whist achieving a thermal efficiency of 41% - a combination of power versus efficiency that is unrivalled today in mass production.
Delivering 135 kW/184 hp, the new 2.0 litre hybrid powertrain combines superior dynamic performance with even greater efficiency than the 1.8 system. An output of 50% more power, while the consumption only increases by 10%. It generates CO2emissions as low as 118 g/km (WLTP) – a figure unrivalled within its segment – and returns combined fuel consumption of only 5.3 l/100 km.
The 90 kW/122 hp 1.8 hybrid powertrain is now equipped with a smaller, lighter and even more powerful lithium-ion battery pack. This is able to absorb and deliver more current, enhancing the electric motive force delivery. The system is even more natural to drive and maintains its emission standard at just 109 g/km (WLTP).
The 2020 Toyota C-HR is also available with a 1.2 litre turbo engine. Delivering 85 kW/116 hp and 185 Nm of torque, this unit generates CO2emission of from 154 g/km (WLTP) and returns a combined fuel consumption of from 6.9 l/100 km (WLTP).
The 1.2 litre turbo may be mated to either a six-speed manual gearbox or a Continuously Variable Transmission. CVT-equipped versions are available with either front- or all-wheel drive.
ON-BOARD TECHNOLOGY AND CONNECTIVITY
The new Toyota C-HR introduces the very latest developments in connectivity and infotainment. The new, 2019 multimedia system incorporates Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, allowing the majority of used smartphones to not just synchronise, but actually merge with the car’s media-system.
The system also features the e-call functionality for immediate emergency support.
In addition, the new system allows over-the-air updates, making it possible for Toyota owners to continuously access the latest version of the navigation map without having to visit a dealership or download using intermediate devices such as a memory stick. Updates are performed using an internet connection via a smartphone or the on board internet module.
All Hybrid vehicles will be equipped with a MyT Connected services: an on board data system enabling additional services through MyT app on the smartphone.
This app enables users to communicate with their car, no matter where they are. They can plan journeys from home and send it to car, locate their parked Toyota C-HR, receive service maintenance reminders and book appointments with their preferred dealers.
With Toyota C-HR launch, the app is releasing a new service: Hybrid Coaching. It provides analytics on your driving style with some personalized and contextualized coaching to help you increase your EV mode drive and effectively lower your fuel consumption.
After each drive, users will be able get the feedback and learn what they did well and what can be improved to increase their fuel efficiency. They will also see how much and long they drove in EV, how much fuel and CO2they saved thanks to the Hybrid technology!
