TOYOTA C-HR FACELIFT FULL REVIEW WITH THE NEW 2.0 HYBRID 2020

EV Channels Review

The 2020 Toyota C-HR facelift receives significant updates, particularly to its driving dynamics and interior refinement. The reviewer highlights improvements in noise insulation, steering feel, and suspension, noting that while all models benefit, the 2.0-liter hybrid receives the most substantial suspension hardware upgrades. The exterior styling is subtly enhanced, and the interior gains softer materials and a more premium feel. A key positive is the long-awaited inclusion of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, though the native infotainment software is criticized as outdated. The 2.0-liter hybrid powertrain offers a noticeable power increase over the 1.8-liter, with both hybrid variants achieving an impressive real-world fuel economy of around 5.5 liters per 100 km. However, the car's striking design comes at the cost of practicality, with a limited trunk space and compromised rear visibility being notable drawbacks. Despite these limitations, the facelift is considered a substantial improvement, making the C-HR a more refined and engaging option, especially for those prioritizing design and hybrid efficiency.
