Having launched the for the European market last November, Toyota is now accepting orders for it in the United Kingdom. Available with the 1.8-liter and 2.0-liter self-charging hybrid powertrains, the model starts at £ 31,395 (US$ 43,041) with the smaller engine and £ 33,015 (US$ 45,262) with the larger unit.
The new variant of Toyota’s subcompact SUV
features re-tuned steering and stiffened front and rear springs for improved
handling. Key features include a revised exterior with black details applied to
the headlamp and fog lamp housings, central bumper section, grille, side mirror
caps, roof and rear bumper. The makeover also counts a bi-tone paint finish,
19-inch GR Sport five double-spoke alloy wheels wrapped in 225/45 Continental
Premium Contact tires and GR badging.
A similar theme was applied to the
cockpit, which gets new fabric upholstery for the front sports seats, with a
woven center stripe in GR Sport’s colors. There are also GR-branded scuff
plates, a perforated leather steering wheel with red contrast stitching, silver
trim for the instrument panel and a GR Sport logo in red and black for the
push-button start. Customers can get Alcantara upholstery as an option with
electric adjustment for the front seats.
Like the rest of the 2021 C-HR lineup, the
new C-HR GR Sport benefits from the Toyota Safety Sense suite of driver
assistance aids. The list counts the new Lane Trace Assist and extended
Pre-Collision System with daylight cyclist detection.
