2020 Toyota C-HR

The Toyota C-HR 2020: Urban Sophistication Meets Everyday Practicality The 2020 Toyota C-HR breaks conventional design norms with its bold, coupe-like silhouette that demands attention on South African roads. This compact crossover SUV blends the practicality of a hatchback with the commanding stance of an SUV, making it the perfect companion for urban professionals and small families seeking something distinctly different from the standard offerings in the market. Priced at R459,900, this used automatic model delivers Toyota's legendary reliability packaged in a refreshingly avant-garde design. Performance & Efficiency: Under the bonnet, the C-HR houses Toyota's responsive 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine, delivering a balanced mix of performance and efficiency. With 85kW of power and 185Nm of torque available from low in the rev range, the C-HR provides enough punch for both city commutes and weekend getaways. The smooth-shifting automatic transmission complements the engine perfectly, offering seamless gear changes that enhance the driving experience. Fuel consumption sits at an impressive 6.4L/100km combined cycle, meaning fewer stops at the petrol station and more kilometers between fill-ups a significant advantage given South Africa's rising fuel costs.
