Toyota has just officially launched the Toyota C-HR 2.0L plug-in hybrid (PHEV) in Europe, the newest and most powerful version of the trio of electrified powertrains for small urban SUVs. .
Toyota has just introduced the C-HR 2.0L plug-in hybrid (PHEV), a new step in the C-HR product line, alongside the 1.8L and 2.0L hybrid variants. This version was first launched in selected markets last year.
C-HR PHEV uses Toyota’s fifth generation hybrid technology, with many significant improvements compared to the previous generation. The system includes redesigned components to reduce size and weight, along with improvements to the gearbox and power control, combined with a powerful high-voltage battery, to help balance performance and save fuel.
With a 2.0L 4-cylinder Dynamic Force engine and electric motor, the C-HR PHEV delivers a combined output of up to 223 PS, along with a range of up to 65 km in electric mode. The car is capable of accelerating from 0-100 km/h in 7.4 seconds.
The C-HR’s PHEV powertrain is similar to the Toyota Prius PHEV, tuned to suit UK and European driving styles. In particular, the input sensitivity of the accelerator pedal has been improved for quick response and ease of control.
The 2024 Toyota C-HR PHEV will come in many variants, including the sporty GR-Sport variant. It is expected that the car will be available on the UK market from July 2024.
