The 2018 Toyota C-HR is a compact crossover that draws attention with its bold styling, urban appeal, and modern features. For Kenyan buyers who want something different from a regular SUV—something sporty, nice to look at, efficient, yet comfortable—the C-HR delivers a strong package.
Under the hood, the standard petrol version is a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine paired with a CVT automatic transmission. It’s not about raw speed—the C-HR takes about 11 seconds to hit 100 km/h—but it does…
The 2018 Toyota C-HR is a compact crossover that draws attention with its bold styling, urban appeal, and modern features. For Kenyan buyers who want something different from a regular SUV—something sporty, nice to look at, efficient, yet comfortable—the C-HR delivers a strong package.
Under the hood, the standard petrol version is a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine paired with a CVT automatic transmission. It’s not about raw speed—the C-HR takes about 11 seconds to hit 100 km/h—but it does fine for daily driving, cruising, and inner city use. Fuel economy is one of its strong points: expected figures are about 12 km/L combined in mixed driving (and better in steady highway conditions). For the hybrid variants (1.8-litre petrol-electric), fuel savings are noticeably higher, especially around town.
Inside, the cabin is well appointed. The C-HR offers seating for five, although rear legroom is a bit tight for taller occupants. Standard features include air conditioning, a touchscreen infotainment system, Bluetooth and USB connectivity, power mirrors and windows, and alloy wheels. In higher trim levels you’ll find upgrades like a reverse camera, pushed-button start, LED lighting, and hybrid display gauges on the dashboard.
Safety is solid. You get multiple airbags (front, side, curtain in many trims), ABS with EBD, stability and traction control, and driver assist features in higher-spec variants including lane departure warning, pre-collision alert, and automatic high beams. These help especially in traffic and in less than ideal weather (rain, mist) upcountry or on slippery road surfaces.
