2024 TOYOTA C-HR DRIVEN, HYBRID PRADO COMING & AN ELECTRIC ISUZU D-MAX? | THE CAREXPERT PODCAST

EV Channels Review

The CarExpert Podcast discusses the new Toyota C-HR, highlighting its striking, design-led aesthetic and premium interior, which sets it apart from more conventional offerings like the Corolla Cross. While the styling and cabin experience are praised, the reviewer notes that the driving dynamics, even in the GR Sport trim, lack the performance and engagement to match the car's sporty looks. The powertrain is described as a conventional, efficient Toyota hybrid, delivering under 5L/100km, but not offering significant grunt. Rear seat space and boot capacity are adequate but not class-leading, with the rear being somewhat dark and snug. Despite the higher price point compared to the previous generation, the C-HR is positioned as an attainable way to achieve a premium Toyota feel, offering strong value against the Lexus UX, especially considering its running costs and warranty. The consensus is that it's a comfortable, efficient, and visually appealing daily driver, but not a performance alternative.
