Great video of the CH-R and tells it exactly as it is and it’s all good!
Really enjoyed this.
Thanks!!!
Thanks for this video. I've got one on order and should be with me in a few weeks. When I was looking to make my decision I looked everywhere to get a decent user review like this but there was nothing decent available. I finally managed to get an extended 3 day test drive and your review totally matches my findings. I ready so many reviews saying it was underpowered and slow but didn't find it like that at all. Plenty of get up and go when you needed it for overtaking but very smooth and refined when driven as a cruiser. Great real world review. thanks for sharing.
Ah that’s so cool of you to say so Alun! I’m really glad it helped. It’s a great car.
had my C-HR 2 weeks 2021 Dynamic nice car love it getting 64 mpg a round town . Drive smooth knot slow
this is been a fantastic review i am looking to buy one and i think you have made my mind up for me thanks
Thank you Michael. Yes I really enjoyed the car. I fancy once myself at some point 👍
Great video picknig up the 2.0l this week
Thanks Michael. Hope all goes well 👍
Great review ordered mine 2 litre bi tone blue black my grandson has black icon he doesn't say its slow
There's no point in flooring the throttle all that happens is the engine revs rise, wasting fuel, and not much acceleration. Just get the power meter into the low area of the power zone and let the transmission do the rest. The best I have achieved is 80.1 mpg but there were a lot of steep descents. I think I'm probably averaging around 55mpg with my 2 litre on urban use. It's a delight to drive.
Brilliant video, informative, I think I will be purchasing CHR thanks.
Ah thanks Steve, glad it helped 👍
Got a 2020 Limited model two ltr petrol self charging Hybrid one on order should be here 1st week of March, really looking forward to receiving it. Thank you for the review, really enjoyed watching it. well done!
SAME
I gotta wait until May 7th for mine to be delivered..
How are you enjoying yours so far??
That Flaming Orange on the CHR is 🔥🔥🔥
@@GetUrOwnHandle Got mine and loving it to be honest. Had it for 1 week so far, the technology is amazing although the proactive cruise control - The radar especially takes a bit of getting used to but one you learn how to handle it properly is really cool. I have topped 60 MPG so far but of course this varies, however never fallen lower than 50 so far so quite pleased. Very comfy to drive and very solid on bends to, great car.
This is my actual car - Love the colour!

Derbyshire Wedding Events Thanks for your comment, and my apology for the delayed reply.
Very interesting review. Possibly among the best on the C-HR. Our car arrives beginning of October. So I am very interesting in any tips as to driving. I noticed you used the B mode a lot but still obtained high MPG. Thanks again. I subscribed
Hi looking at buying one soon too.. will be very interested to hear what mpg your getting
Sorry for the delayed reply. I use the B mode when slowing as both engine braking and a way to regenerate electricity to charge the batteries back up 👍
I’ve got a 2020 CHR and I get what you said in economy it’s a great car if you don’t want electric
What is the best mode for day to day driving. ?
How much does this hybrid run for?
Collecting 70 plate brand new Orange Edition on 22nd Jan..Good looking car imo. Only wish it had a twin power turbo 3 litre petrol and bigger battery pack. A car in this day and age needs at least 350bhp at least.
Haha. I guess you’re being sarcastic towards modern muscle car trends?
@@RealWorldCarReviews Not really. So many new hot hatches nowadays put out around 350 to 450 bhp with their 2 litre turbocharged engines. CHR especially in this Orange Edition seems all show and no go. Luckily, it will be my partner's car (bought/paid together) and she will love it. :)
@@borinvlogs Oh. You were actually being serious. 🤦♂️ But it’s clearly and very obviously built for fuel economy. Different cars for different reasons.
Lexus RX hybrid has 300+ bhp. Had one, it just got stolen 2 weeks ago. They have gone up in price by about £5 -7k since I bought mine early this year as a used car.. there fore I’m here looking at this review.. the RX F Sport hybrid is rapid, off the mark it can surprise many other drivers, it’s a big machine but off the line it is fast.. you should look at one.
Isnt b mode when you go down a mountain or something and the car will brake more on the engine?
You could use it for that as well, but it’s mainly a stronger regen for the batteries.
Got a Toyota CHR 2017, cant find reserve wheel. what should i do if one wheel get punchered. Please advice
Some of them don’t have a spare wheel, just a puncture sealant kit.
Thank you so much for this video, I've been torn between this and kia Niro. Like all the safety features and a car with plenty of gadgets. Definitely be getting the Toyota. 👍😊
Hey. Glad you like it. Thanks for the compliment. I would definitely buy a C-HR myself if I could afford it. I’ll get one at some point in the future, but the AWD model 👍
Thank you for a excellent foresight into this car I’m awaiting mine from Toyota hopefully in June 22 👍🏼
Thanks! Good choice, enjoy your car!
What year is this c-hr? I'm looking at 2017 and wondering if it is the similar set up with the car able to run on battery only for longer than the previous model you mention.
Hi. I say it at the beginning of the video; 2018 👍
@Barrow Motorcycle Sales hi thats great so no big update on the battery between 2017 and 2018 then :)
You said that B mode you recover more charge to the battery, that is incorrect. It should only be used when descending a steep hill as it performs the same function as if you’ve changed down in a manual gearbox. The purpose of B mode is to throw energy away by spinning the engine. The B does not stand for Battery, it stands for Brake!
It’s a stronger regen function. It doesn’t spin the engine when in EV mode
Correct, no regen in B to prevent the battery from overcharging
Hi my husband is 6ft 6 tall and is concerned that he may be cramped in or head touching the roof. Does anyone know if this car is roomy enough in the front for a big guy? Thanks.
Is this a 1.8 or 2L please?
1.8. My driving video review of it is here: czcams.com/video/Tu0IBy4oNH4/video.html
Did not think B mode regenerated the car much it just uses the engine to brake the car from what I’ve heard.
Nope, it’s definitely a heavier regen mode
What does the B mean on the gear lever?
I believe I answered that in the video 👍
Brake mode, to provide more power to the battery
Helps in slowing down with more brake grab to make harsher brake regeneration.. more hybrid battery top up.
Weird how the CH-R seems to drive better than the newer yaris cross …
I don’t know about that as I haven’t tested the Yaris.
torn between C HR and Puma ----- which is the better car ?????
I’ve not tested the Puma. The only thing I’d really say is that the last time I was in a Ford dealership, I didn’t like how hard the seats were in any of the cars. The only acceptable on was the Mondeo, to me. But other people may not mind so much
@@RealWorldCarReviews currently in a Tcross 2021 and the lack of power and fuel economy is grim --so hybrid for me
I’ve got a CHR 2020 model it’s better than the ford in my opinion but will cost you more money but worth it you get what you pay for
@@damianroddis4301 yea drove the Puma
Like a go cart so bought the CH R
No competition really
they should all be 16 inch wheels for the MPG gain as well….. 10% better than 18 inch…
Yeah, but then they’d look like settee wheels under the arches 😂
@@RealWorldCarReviews I think they look quite cute on chr and yaris cross … simpler but classic maybe classy
Who wants to look cute on the road
just bought a petrol excel model hybrid is only good if you do 10,000+ a year otherwise its not worth paying extra got an excel 2018 model for £215 from toyota
i read that toyota say the battery has a life of 3-5 years......then a new one is over £2k.....that's put me of one as i am looking @ 4/5 years old cars :(
Lol. Wherever you read that is hilariously wrong. My dad has a 2011 Auris hybrid, hybrid system works perfectly. I had an 18 year old Lexus RX400h hybrid. Hybrid system and battery was perfect. You’ll see 15 year old Prius’ with 300,000 miles on them on the same battery.
bs
Is fully hybrid better in city center or miles hybrid
Very noisy car in the cabin and no power sad😭😭😭
Wrong on both points there. The power and torque is easily adequate, and it’s fine noise-wise.
Go for the very efficiently upgraded *2020 2.0L* model... It's *Far* better!
Revs up far less when accelerating & gives you a massive upgrade of 184hp! (vs 114hp). Also has even better suspension, you barely feel any bumps in the road and they've even improved road noise with better sound proofing in the cabin.
I've just ordered the Flaming Orange Edition Model! Finally Has Android Auto + Apple Carplay together with those JBL speakers.. I Cannot Wait ! 🔥🔥🔥
V L Thanks very much for the update. Yes, battery and motor tech is being developed very quickly now. That extra power would certainly be a big bonus!
Hi my husband is 6ft 6 tall and is concerned that he may be cramped in or head touching the roof. Does anyone know if this car is roomy enough in the front for a big guy? Thanks.

Sounds obvious, but the best way is for him to physically sit in the car. It’s not just head room, but knee and elbow room as well.
