2024 Toyota C-HR Hybrid Review | Honest Car Reviews
Here's my honest review of the new 2024 Toyota C-HR 1.8 Hybrid.
This small SUV has great build quality, fantastic MPG, and it delivers on both the practicality and comfort fronts whilst still being reasonably fun to drive.
The exterior styling feels like a big improvement over the outgoing model, as does the infotainment system.
Let me know what you think of the new Toyota CHR in the comments.

I really appreciate this guy’s straightforward, no nonsense reviews of practical everyday cars. He’s easily one of the best on here.
He also seems like a fairly decent fella, someone who stands his round down the pub, makes interesting conversation and chips in every now and again with a decent bit of banter. What’s not to like. 👍
This guy appreciate's that comment, cheers Henry. But it has to be said that my nob jokes are better than my car reviews. 👍
@@DefinitelyNotAGuru 😂🤣😅
Like the fact that you took reliability into account and not just moaned about it not being as good as a ferrari around corners like most of these mainstream journalists.
😁👍👍
Yep.
Thanks Jimbo getting more polished every review thanks again🤘
Thanks Davey Boy 👍
Great review, thanks Jim!
Glad you liked it!
Like the reviews Jim, keep up the good work
Thanks 👍
👍👍👍. Thanks Jim for a 1st class independent review
My pleasure!
Great review and a very nice car. It's one I'll need to look at when it comes time to change.
Really is a nice little thing
Great review of a good looking C-HR. Cheers Jim.
Thank you Ken
Great review! I have its predecessor so was interested in viewing what the new one was like!
Thanks Lauren 👍
Great review 👍
Thanks! 👍
Great review
Thank you
Brilliant review. Toyota have done a cracking job with the MK2 CHR. Thanks for sharing the review 👍🏼
Glad you enjoyed it; thanks for the feedback
Wicked review, Jim 👍🏼
Thanks Mark 👍
Fantastic review Jim as you know I was waiting well you have made my Easter I’m ordering Tuesday I have 3 year old Chr 1.8 hybrid and loved it many thanks Mike
I tried to get it out earlier but had real problems uploading it. I thought you might be happy 👍👍👍
I’m very happy noticed your mpg 54 be 60 very soon I get 58 on motorway at 65 to 70 mph ! Someone has said it’s dark inside ? Jim what can I say lol cheers Mike
It had averaged 58 by the time it went back. I was really fond of it and sad to see it go.
How many miles had it done Jim ?
Only about 2k so barely run in
Cosworths dont beep when you exceed a limit ;-) Great reviw Jim, good video all round
😁👍👍
Great review, had ours for nearly two months now and absolutely love it, came from the RAV4, 22 plate, only issue I’ve had is connecting issues with wireless Apple car play,
👍👍 maybe take it into Toyota, I don’t recall any issues with the one I had in that respect and I pretty much only ever use CarPlay
I’ve done a factory reset twice and deleted both profiles on the app, since doing it the second time has been a lot better, but still have an issue now and then rather than every time I get in the car. Definitely going to get the dealership to have a look at it. Still think we made the right decision changing, really happy with everything else special the fuel economy, averaging 58 mpg in real world use on the same model that’s in the video.
Nice, polished review Jim 👍🏼 Have you reviewed the new model Rav 4 yet ?
The last one I reviewed was around a year ago, have a search and you should find it.
👍🏼 thanks @@DefinitelyNotAGuru
You do great reveiws, did you prefer driving this or the 2024 mini coutryman?.
Countryman. But I’d probably rather own this.
I totally agree with your review, I've brought the new Ch-r and it's great.
Great to hear!
Good review thank you, we liked it we ordered one here in NZ and settled on the 2.0 GR sport hybrid two tone ebony/silver ash, apparently it turns up mid June 2024, drove the demo unit and thought it was pretty cool, price wise they are better value here compared to Europe/UK. I agree they do look similar to Lambo Urus when you look at the shape, a lot lesser cheaper to own.
Better looking than the Urus I’d say. Good choice 👍👍
Nearly bought a C-HR, cracking little car. Reliable drive train, looks fantastic. Brilliant review.
It really is a nice little car
@@DefinitelyNotAGuru it's made hybrids aesthetically acceptable. Mine looks like a right fright, great car or no LOL
Great review. thanks
Thanks for watching!
@@DefinitelyNotAGuru Is this car to have if you have to drive some long distances as opposed to Yaris say? Yaris is cheaper right?
there’s not much in it but this feels slightly more modern , both great cars
@@DefinitelyNotAGuru thanks.
@@DefinitelyNotAGuru is this the same size as a corolla cross? space wise?
Wow, a 10-year warranty, that's fantastic and proves Toyota's credibility. Great video as always Jim. Thanks and have a great bank holiday weekend.👍
Thanks Jase, you too 👍
Should, perhaps, be mentioned that ten years is dependent on getting the car serviced at Toyota main dealers. Otherwise it’s 3 years. Which, honestly, is a pretty decent deal but worth considering.
Thanks for the presentation on the C-HR SUV self-charging models. It would be useful to get some specific details regarding the Hybrid characteristics on the electric side. I think Toyota offer self-charging models across the 1.8 & 2.0 petrol engines, as you mentioned. I thought I read somewhere that the Sport model had a larger battery to power the electric motors on the wheels, and also had 4 motors? What is the mileage expectation for both petrol and electric across the range?
Check the Toyota website 👍
I have ordered my premier edition model ,been on order since mid January. Should arrive 12th Apr, can't wait
👍
Good choice, having de GR première for 3 months, fantastic car
Got it yesterday. Fab!!
Enjoy
A friend has a Nissan Juke self charging hybrid in Pearl White with Black roof, and they look very similar from a few aspects. The Juke is actually good to drive too IMO & one pedal driving is great.
I much prefer this over the Juke I have to say. I like the Juke but the CHR is better in most respects; in my opinion anyway.
And a lot more economical reviews on CZcams get 44 mpg for the juke !
Love the car
👍
Thanks Jimbo
Gracias 🙏
Just taken delivery of a new AygoX for the wife it's a fantastic little car but the warning beeps are beyond annoying and you have to turn them off everytime you restart the car!!
😬👍
I like the original CH-R but this is a new level, very futuristic like the new Kona.
I wasn’t a massive fan of the first one but fell in love with this one a bit
Great review as always. Still don’t understand why car manufacturers don’t use a rear wiper. They can’t be that expensive to install?
It’s to improve aerodynamics (reduce drag) I believe
Understand about the aerodynamic aspect, but looking at the rear it should be possible to mount the wiper under the nearside top spoiler wiping downwards - should be minimal impact on airflow.
Great review as usual.
Keep going Jimmer! 🎉 baby Lambo is a bit of a Hyperbole. 😅 Thanks for the review
😏👍
I have a prius, and I've never used the rear wiped. Idk if it's useful in snow weather
I love a rear wiper personally.
with my 1.8 GR old model it feels like it runs out of puff over 50 .., is this 1.8 any better?
Yeah, no worries with this one
Can’t fault them for build quality and reliability on these hybrids. I just wish they started taking full evs more seriously to accompany these. So strange that they’re not leading the way given their experience with batteries and electric motors over the years. Great vid.
Their new solid state battery tech will surely be out to good use soon.
The one they announced in 2010 and every year since or the latest one?!
@@anthonyn3774 😁
They know the current battery tech is shit so aren't bothering with it until they've mastered thier solid state batteries.
done the same on the Peugeot 408, miss being able to wipe my rear 🙂
It is a sad trend
I was looking for a small SUV
It’s a good one
Do you recommend buying the one with all the bells and whistles or the cheapest one?
That’s a question for you really, I think in the video I said I’d go for the mid spec personally
@@DefinitelyNotAGuru thanks
I have noticed, that panoramic monitor and transparent view under the vehicle is not accurate and works not the same as moving backwards? Backwards the view under the vehicle is clear and objects, road lines, signs, road bumps and potholes are visible. Isn't it?
🤷🏻♂️👍
@@DefinitelyNotAGuru don’t you noticed the same?
I didn't pay much attention to the 360 camera be honest
I’ve been driving the 1.8L self-charging UK Design spec for a while now and overall, it's been a very positive experience. It's incredibly comfortable to drive, and I've been pleasantly surprised to average 60mpg (UK). You get very high mileage in and around town (if not stuck too long in jams) and 40-50 on the motorway. However, it's far from perfect, especially given the price. Here’s a list of annoyances…
It gets absolutely filthy inside the front doors. Can they not waterproof the bottom door to the car!?
The constant beeping - whether it's for going just a mile over the speed limit or changing speed zones, the alerts are excessive. The major crash alert has come on a couple of times, when there's no way I was going to crash - just driving normally during busy school runs.
Specific to the design spec, the sounds system. It’s disappointing. This is fixed in the higher specs which push the car near to or over £40K. The volume adjustments are either buttons on the screen or up/down toggle on the wheel. Both are terrible. Given me a twisty knob anyday.
If you want the trip data to sync to the app, you have to turn on car, wait 20secs or so for the blue privacy screen and click to accept 3 notices (yes 3!!). If you just start the car and drive off you cannot accept the privacy agreement and so the trip data is lost for ever!
Noisy motors. The windscreen wipers are super noisy. Driving this car for long periods in the rain becomes irritating. The motors that opens and closes the boot is also super loud & whinny.
We’ve had so much rain in the UK lately, yes I would very much appreciate a rear wiper. The rear screen tends to fog up easily.
Visibility out of the rear is rather limited, and the reversing camera's in the design spec has poor resolution nothing better than my previous car (marginally better than an 90s Nokia phone though).
Random alarm. Sometimes the alarm sounds for 5 seconds when locking the car. Every other drive it sends the app an alert to check the rear seats and if you turn off the alerts for those darn bleeps, it's reset the next time you start the car.
Software bugs. The car is loaded with tech and hence there's loads of software bugs. For eg. When reversing, the screen does not always show the radar when approaching objects you could hit.
Tight space in the back, only suitable for kids and 2 small adults. The rear windows are really tiny.
With a couple of passengers are in the rear, going up hill, the 1.8L engine feels like it struggles. The engine screams like you are driving a Ferrari.
When you fold down the rear seats, there’s a 4” lip between the boot height and seat height.
At the time of writing this, UK roads are full of potholes and you tend to drive more towards the middle of the road to avoid them. However, the lane assist trys to nudge you back, but towards the right and not the left. It’s like the correction software has been written for Europe and not adapted to the UK!
Price. Much better deals to be had with rivals such as Nissan and Honda, with regards to discounts and extras. For eg. UK Honda are offering 5 years breakdown, 5 years servicing, 5 years warrently included where as with Toyota you only get 1 years breakdown, 3 years manufactors warrenty. They try and sell you 3 years servicing on top as well as so so many extras, cameras, insurance, paint protection etc… Buying a car from Toyota takes 2 full days.
The 10 year extended warrenty is free if you service from year 3 onwards at Toyota at a cost currently 2x the price of local garages. Also the 10 year warrently is not as comprehensive as the first 3!
But apart from that you like it! 😬👍
Good review Jim, but it's over styled, dogs dinner. Rear doors and space is too small.
😂 I love the look of it but yeah the rear is not huge. Great little thing to drive.
Have a Corolla for £2k less and more space.
That's an option!
👍
👍👍
I sat in one of these and didn’t drive it due to the interior being like a dark dungeon
Fair enough. I don’t visit those kind of clubs myself but I’ve heard they’re usually dimly lit.
I hope they have fixed the repeated flat 12v battery. They tell you that 60 miles per week is more or less the distance required to ensure keeping the charge topped up.
Apparently the 12v battery is charged by the traction battery as in an EV. But it only charges when the traction battery is full. So you either have to burn petrol driving aimlessly or put a trickle charger on every couple of weeks in winter.
Oh no!
It seems that it was a faulty batch of batteries, I have a 21 plate CHR and I left it for a week and the battery was fine.
I really like the look and the interior of the CHR and it seems to be a big upgrade from the last gen. Having said that, it’s just way too overpriced and I would go for a Corolla Cross or a RAV4 instead.
👍
1st
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Muddy new forest 😂
Yep 👍
I've always liked the C-HR, but I have no idea what Toyota were thinking with the paint job on the top spec car
Yeah, it’s a little odd - this paint combo is my choice for sure
@@DefinitelyNotAGuru Pity the lease deals seem to be best on that spec! Possibly not a coincidence
You could always wrap the offending panels
Baby Lambo, I don't think so:-)
Thanks for your insight
Jim, whay are you caling it a self'charging hybrid? All hybrids are self charging, but that is misleading. Also, to get the ten year warranty you need to have it serviced at a Toyota dealer, an expensive thing to do..............................
Why nit pick tiny insignificant details? It’s what Toyota calls it, everybody understands it - you don’t plug it in. ‘Nuff said.
Service plan spreads the service cost interest free, and extends the breakdown cover also.
@@richfixescarsnice 👍
10 year warranty is a winner by a mile for me !
Shows a certain level of confidence on their part
👍👍
