Toyota Europe has revealed the first details of the facelifted C-HR.

It debuts with a choice of two hybrid powertrains, a new multimedia system and some design enhancements.

The 1.8-litre hybrid (not available in SA) soldiers on as is, but is joined by a new 2.0-litre hybrid with a combined power output of 137kW.

The new Toyota C-HR is equipped with a new multimedia system that includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration.

The new Toyota C-HR remains true to its iconic visual identity and the coupe-like lines create a bold style that continues to stand out. Both front and rear have received detailed attention bringing refinement to this iconic vehicle, while a painted lower lip reinforces the dynamic figure with a strong, wide and elevated stance.

Head- and tail-lights are upgraded to premium LED technology, with the daytime running lights (DRLs) and indicators combined into one frontal projector emitting a single smooth line above the main beam. At the rear, the new combi lamps are connected by a gloss black spoiler creating a single clean shape.

Dynamic upgrades include a modified EPS tuning for improved steering feel.

All variants also feature an upgraded NVH pack to further reduce cabin noise.

In SA the C-HR is only available with a turbocharged 1.2-litre engine, but the rest of the upgrades will eventually find their way here.

 

It never felt like it was working hard, and after 2 400 kilometres, neither did I.
