Meet the Toyota C-HR 1.8 Hybrid Excel 5dr CVT — a compact SUV that stands out for its bold design, smooth hybrid drive, and low running costs, rather than outright performance.
Under the bonnet, it uses Toyota’s 1.8-litre self-charging hybrid system, combining a petrol engine with an electric motor to produce around 122 bhp. It’s not fast in the traditional sense, doing 0–62 mph in about 11 seconds, but it feels smooth and effortless in everyday driving. Around town, it can run on electric power at low speeds, making it quiet and very efficient in stop-start traffic.
The real strength of the C-HR is how relaxed it feels. The e-CVT automatic gearbox doesn’t shift like a normal automatic—instead, it delivers power continuously, keeping the engine in its sweet spot. That means no gear hunting, just a calm, steady flow of acceleration that suits commuting and urban driving perfectly.
Fuel economy is a major selling point. It can return very strong mpg figures in real-world driving, especially in cities where the hybrid system does most of the work. That makes it appealing if you want to keep fuel and running costs low without plugging in.
On the road, it’s more comfort-focused than sporty. The steering is light, visibility is decent up front, and the higher seating position gives you a confident view of traffic. The ride is tuned for comfort, soaking up bumps well enough for daily use, though it’s not the sharpest-driving SUV in its class.
Inside, the Excel trim is where it feels more premium. You typically get heated seats, a touchscreen infotainment system with navigation and smartphone connectivity, dual-zone climate control, and Toyota’s safety systems like adaptive cruise control, lane assist, and a reversing camera. It’s designed to reduce stress rather than overwhelm you with complexity.
Space is practical for a compact SUV. There’s seating for five and a usable boot, though rear visibility and rear-seat space are a bit more compromised due to the coupe-like styling.
The C-HR’s biggest appeal is simple: it’s easy to live with, efficient, reliable in reputation, and different-looking enough to stand out without being impractical.
If you want a calm, efficient hybrid SUV with strong equipment and low running costs, the C-HR Excel fits that role very well.
