2018 Toyota C-HR Hybrid startup, engine and in-depth tour

[@MoAV15]

The Toyota C-HR is one futuristic looking SUV and is reliable in the long-term too. This is why this car deserves a lot of views can’t wait for it to hit 100k views!

I work for Toyota, and drive a 19 C-HR. Really wish they had a hybrid in the US. Only a 2.0l 4 cylinder... still love everything else tho.

[@lukasautomotiveawesomeness1536]

Thanks for the support. It's kinda weird that the C-HR Hybrid is not available in the USA. In Europe, non-hybrid C-HR's are actually uncommon

[@davetillette5045]

Samatha, since you are working with toyota, would they ever offer hybrid for the US market? Just checking.

[@nerdexproject]

Dude, so you grew up in Germany, now reside in France and are capable of English like this? And you are 16 years old only? Major props my man! I know what it takes, I speak German too (I'm Swiss) but my English sucked at your age :'D

[@lukasautomotiveawesomeness1536]

Well, I was born in the United States, am technically living in Germany rn, but I'm currently on a year abroad. I'm in France up until July. And I'm actually 17 at this point. This video was shot some time ago. Thanks for your support, though, I appreciate it!

[@jordanewright2354]

Okay so i have a question. When you activate the EV mode an it uses the electric motor how does it charge?

[@lukasautomotiveawesomeness1536]

To my knowledge, it charges through braking. If the battery on the electric motor is completely out, then the gas engine will take over

[@jordanewright2354]

@@lukasautomotiveawesomeness1536 so you're saying that the electric motor chargers by braking.

12v Power Access sockets? Are there any and where located? I’ve spent years acquiring certain accessories such as a coolbox for easily perishable goods (fresh milk, insulin) and live in a hot climate.

[@lukasautomotiveawesomeness1536]

Unfortunately, I didn't see any 12v power outlets. Well, a cool box is convenient to have as well for hot climates

[@IQneg]

Thank you Lukas. I’ve been told to check out the centra console as Toyota sometimes hide a socket there. There are many accessories that use the socket and many people who need them, particularly for long journeys. All cars had them in the past, euphemistically called cigarette lighters. They also used to supply little drawers for toll gate coins (ashtrays). Far more convenient than trying to reach a trouser pocket when belted in and an impatient entourage. :)

Can I ask something. If you dont need those keys can it be stolen easily? Im not very bright in these kind of things.

No, it can't be stolen if you don't have the key. The smart key access system that this vehicle has only works if you have the key fob with you

[@cryptykilla8712]

why is the fuel economy so awful i'd like to know, plus the engine literally screams climbing hills here in the village i live in south wales uk. any tips would be grateful

[@lukasautomotiveawesomeness1536]

Um, fuel economy is good, which is expected as it's a hybrid. I'm sure the screaming engine is probably normal on hills. The hills will definitely also be a reason as to why your fuel economy is worse. I can't say anything else to that as this is the only C-HR that I have had the chance to look at

[@thn5587]

Bigger engine is better,say 1.4 avoid 1.2

@@lukasautomotiveawesomeness1536 I have the Dynamic Version , auto 1800 engine and that engine size is the best, economy is brilliant and mine does 800 fit climb twice over the downs every day, I average 65 mpg, this is a car you have to learn to drive using all rhe electronics it carries, I never bother to use it in Sports mode, I use it in normal drive all the time, I have just parted with a 2000 cc diesel Insignia (7 years and new) and I far prefer this car .

[@truckworks970]

I just test drove one today - it seemed to have less acceleration (definitely more noise, less oomph from a start) than the Prius LE (both new 2019's), it was more miserable to get in and out of (about 29.5 inches top-of-seat to bottom-of-door-sill), and it rode over the roads rougher than the Prius. So... I took that same tape measure to the Corolla and the Camry. The Camry was the absolute worst for ingress/egress, especially for anyone who gets in and out of their vehicle a few times each day, and for anyone trying to avoid back pain. The Corolla was about 29 inches, and the Camry seemed like it was just under 29 inches. Meanwhile, surprisingly, the Prius was 32 inches. Still not 'ideal' for people of average height, but certainly easier to live with than the severely-curved-down roof-lines that lead to short entryways. I found this really disappointing because the C-HR is sort of advertised as a cross-over or a smaller SUV. It did have that extra little bit of storage in the trunk area, under the mat, that would have been easier to live with than the Prius, so that was good. Perhaps such a low HP vehicle as the CH-R doesn't need such sporty, low profile and wide tires? Sure, sure, it has the look - but the sidewalls on those tires kill the ride quality that the teeny tires on the Prius seemed to give. I'm going to give the Prius another test drive tomorrow to really see what's up, but it was a far more comfortable car than the CH-R. CH-R only absolutely beat the Prius in the interior/exterior design and the LCD display. (The Prius interior still thinks that it is 2011, and that CD players are what are needed - while no option for satellite radio could be found for the mid-level models)

[@melodytalks3432]

Please keep in mind that this 50% increase in range they falsely advertise, does not mean that regenerative braking will give an 50% range increase! This isn’t going to bump your range from 100 miles to 150 miles. This simply means that 50% of the kinetic energy lost during the act of braking can be turned back into acceleration later. It is important to realize that on its own, regenerative braking isn’t a magical range booster for Hybrid vehicles. It doesn’t make Hybrid vehicles more efficient per set, it just makes them less inefficient. Realistically, Regen in Hybrid will boost up to 5% increase in range only in rural areas and Not in motorways. In highways regen gives you No boost in range at all! Too expensive too!!!

i own a 2019 c-hr gle. it is the most utterly piece of crap. after 2 years of ownership and 40k miles it makes me wish i had bought a yugo! spacious: somewhat good mileage?? not in the least. my 1990 suzuki samurai gave 45/50 miles to the gallon. battery is out in less than 2 years, so were the tires which lasted about 38k miles. noises from low workmanship. it has them all. currently, in slow turns, the steering system cracks, rattles and moans constantly. and then there is the ever bubbling sound after it gets warmed up. what did the dealership service department say all and every time i took the car for inspection? they said that there was nothing wrong with the car. a yugo's the way to go. suspension. it bottoms up every time with the slightest depression on the road. the front absorbers (struts or rubber bands or whatever they use to deal with this) is so horrendous and the japanese mechanic at the dealership says there is nothing wrong with the suspension. a yugo is the way to go! i am telling you guys and gals, save yourselves the aggravation of a great looking piece of crap and buy yourselves a yugo!! the 80's and 90's yugo that is!
