2024 Toyota C-HR Review - Improved hybrid drive? UK 4K

[@bd7654]

The rain won't slide off just before you reverse out of your drive. No wiper makes no sense.

[@MikeCorsten]

But we all reverse onto our driveways

[@gerizeibert2541]

I drive the 2023 CHR Sport here in Ireland. Love the quietness of the car The 2023 model has a rear wiper; no rear window wiper would be a terrible mistake with our dark, rainy climate and water constantly splashing up from the streets!

[@AutoSocialUK]

You’re right, it seems an odd choice to remove. Hopefully I can test it in bad weather next and see how bad it gets without one

[@FéargalO]

@@AutoSocialUK That would be brillant.Thank you.

[@cafl9844]

I have been driving a 2012 Prius since 11 1/2 years now and the engine noise was never an issue ! What are you folks keeping complaining about ? Every engine is noticeable if you press the accelerator hard ! By the way I haven't had a single problem up to now ! No not even a broken brake lamp ! Try to beat that . I agree with the screen though. Why have a 12,2 inch screen which only can show either Navigation or audio ? Why not both at the same time along other Information ? Hopefully it will get an Update ! I have no idea why Toyoya felt it would hurt the design to include a rear wiper !? Yes rain may be blown off while driving, but that won't help while a standstill !

[@FéargalO]

I fell for that same marketing gibberish about no need to have a rear wiper with the hyundai ioniq..never again..i was constantly cleaning the back window..with irish climate and irish roads a rear wiper is essential and i know a lot of people on mainland UK think the same. Frustrating decision to remove rear wiper ..especially as rear visibility is already poor. Even MG listened to feedback and have re-instated the rear wiper on the new MG4 models. Deal breaker.

[@jasonwalsh8299]

Hyundai have realised it was a mistake and the I5 N will get a rear wiper as will the next I5 refresh (due next year)

[@chrislox1]

Eye-beefan, lol.

[@pinkypoohable]

I agree. Rear wiper is very important in Ireland where it is always raining. Especially in the winter when the roads are full of grit, mud and grime mix with rain water.😂

[@quacker143]

I think I will get the CHR for my next car. Watching reviews it convinced me and if ever in this marigold color two-tone very unique and cool color!!! 😍❤

[@socanwejusttalk]

I want a rear wiper!! I always want a rear wiper, I wish all cars, even sedans, had a rear wiper 😅

[@AutoSocialUK]

Haha brilliant

[@kickstand801]

Right off the bat: the style! Loving those LED headlamps. Kinda reminds me of the Prius. Overall this is very eye-catching for a Compact High Rider. Despite its flaws, I think we're looking at a potential top selling crossover SUV. I see many of the previous models here in Jamaica, so I know this will do quite well over here.

[@MrDuncl]

The new C-HR and Prius are built on the same platform. Toyota have said they aren't bringing the new Prius to the U.K. but we will be getting the C-HR instead.

[@Kellric7]

very pleasant video of a great car. We have 1st gen CHR here and it never had any problems and aged very well. So maybe we'll be tempted to buy the new one, as it's really lovely.

[@Lnt999]

Great review thanks. I test drove one on Saturday and loved it.

[@MattOn1010]

Nice review. Rear wiper is important for a lot of people including myself. Nice car and improved from last gen. Though i would not be paying £40k+ for this, lexus UX250h would be the pick over this.

[@MrDuncl]

It will be interesting to see how they compare. I looked at the UX and for the size of vehicle the rear and cargo area both seemed very cramped. In that respect the new Hyundai Kona is far better.

[@6lr6ak6]

I have the 2022 CHR Icon 1.8, owned around 18 month no problems, really like the car, definitely think a rear wiper is needed, and l don't like the new door handles.

[@loosshooz8435]

Great review. I'll never understand the decision for no rear wiper. It's a deal breaker for me unfortunately. Also makes no sense to go over the top on the spec, and not give a a rear centre armrest and cup holder. I'll keep looking 😢

[@DaveDVideoMaker]

In certain European countries, you can get the 2nd gen C-HR 2.0 HEV with all-wheel drive. This powertrain will also be sold in Australia.

[@AutoSocialUK]

I’m not too sure it will matter in the UK that there is now all-wheel-drive ☺️

[@DaveDVideoMaker]

@@AutoSocialUK Most consumers won’t need it, but if I were shopping for an SUV, I would always get that feature.

[@timogronroos4642]

The black rear is just for the early cars, a marketing gimmick. It's not a continuing option, there's too much fuzz about it . For my eye, it looks horrible and will get old soon. The normal two color option looks much more stylish, which was supposed to be the theme for this vehicle. The black rear makes C-HR look even smaller, two separate cars. Driving the first generation full pearl white colour C-HR. The design of the first generation stays bolder than this, especially in the rear. The PHEV version is way too expensive, you could almost buy a new Long Range Tesla M3 at that price. Price wise the 1.8 is the only semi-sane option here.

[@eddiejones.redvees]

Most of the Water that gets on my car’s rear screen comes up from the cars Own spray especially when at Motorway speeds so haveing no rear wiper on a car it’s not for me

[@jamiep61]

I enjoyed watching the Video. GR Sport Is my favourite Trim. The only thing that disappoints me Is the rear space as leg room will be a bit tight for some

[@patrickh7368]

Essential in our climate to have a rear wiper… all this about water flow is ok but the turbulent road spray just sh1ts the rear up , glass and camera alike… These massive wheels will soon get all wonkyfied after our maintenance free roads have hammered them to bits..😮

[@AutoSocialUK]

Eeek I think you make some very good points!

[@Mustard297bird]

I neeeeeeeed my rear wiper. I have a back cam since my car seems to be well admired from the back by other drivers, and the great British weather makes it an essential feature for me.

[@TurfSurf]

Every new Toyota is better looking, Toyota must hired a whole new design team!

[@P.J.B.769]

Great review as usual Trish but, i found the background music and singing a little loud distracting. I'm not really in bi-tone coloured cars either and wondered if it came in a single paint colour?

[@AutoSocialUK]

Sorry about that, thank you for the feedback and I will avoid it next. Yes it does come in a solid colour and in fact, the bi-tone is only available on the higher spec models.

[@chriswalder2423]

Good drive but for me it has two weaknesses 1. Not possible to turn off daytime running lights, even when parked for twenty minutes awaiting the wife 2. It’s necessary to keep the engine running,when parked and listening to the radio, just so that the 46Ah 12v battery doesn’t go flat. Basic design faults for me. 0:16

[@mandla49]

I love the fact that it is a GR Sport that means it can overtake faster on the road 👌

[@ukmartin2569]

Some of the comments regarding "No rear wiper" , get over it. I had an Avensis saloon with no rear wiper and I survived quite well without it.

[@piglet5287]

Sorry but that black rear panel is not to my taste. Id have to choose a dark paint colour to hide it. And most testers said the first generation was already a fine-handling car

[@b.p.r.]

7:50 that’s because it has a CVT a constant variable transmission. They are known to make those noises so yeah

[@cafl9844]

So do normal engines if you press the accelerator hard !

[@b.p.r.]

@@cafl9844 yes I know

[@SOMEONE-ME]

eCVT not CVT. HUGE difference between those 2 design and reliability wise. You should never mix both as they would mean the same.

[@b.p.r.]

@@SOMEONE-ME k

[@TammieV]

The black panel is only for higher spec cars..

[@ShahabKhan-dx6ng]

Outstanding vehicle and Outstanding review

[@AutoSocialUK]

That's very kind, thank you so much

[@mubirudenis809]

Nice car. Yellow colour the best

[@debbiebeamsley5237]

I dont find not haing a rear windscreen wiper a problem, i just use my cameras. I also drive an 8 metre Winnebago. I cant see out the back window in that either. I use my rear view cameras. Thats what they are for. I had a good laugh when i lost my two tone in the car park. I was looking for a gold car and i should of been looking for a black rear end.

[@naveedgul3919]

I think in UK right hand drive & you review left hand .....,?

[@marcmorris-kb9ry]

Best to have model launch in sunny climate and less traffic jams😂

[@shaunlittlevideoandphotogr3608]

Honda had the same idea with the 8th Gen Civic. Yes the water runs off when you are driving but not when you first get in the car, especially in the winter where the window is obscured by rain or ice! Try reversing it, a camera is fine but you do need to look out of the window, especially when the sun is low and completely obscures the camera view with yellow flare! It was to be honest a complete and utter nightmare and Honda had so much bad feedback about it that they then reinstated it in the 9th, 10th and 11th gen Civic! Would never buy a car without one ever again!

[@wendyhopkins2902]

Great video, but please the lose the background music is really off putting

[@philipbolton2811]

Don’t want too many electrically powered functions on a hybrid or the mpg will bomb, especially in winter. Keep it simple.

[@OutRAjious]

yes they should focus on cutting out complexity… even say phase out volume control on steering wheel it’s better and less confusing to use the knob ..

[@markgillespie8842]

If they did the GR C-HR. I would defo be interested. Nice video tish x

[@AutoSocialUK]

You and me both!

[@sunnygill2671]

Looking good tish love to have your job haha good review x

[@podge5555]

Love the sulphur but the bi-tone silver looks the best

[@AutoSocialUK]

Yes that does look great! The contrast helps!

[@balaramnaik539]

I will buy in November 30th 2024 definitely.

[@marmal320]

Love the styling but no rear wiper?? That’s like saying no passenger door. I’d need to test drive it in the rain.

[@craigtrigg4288]

great review as always tish , do they do a 24 hour test drive do you know cherrs tish x

[@jcb208]

Can we have a rear wiper as an extra please

[@Saboman]

Can you review the entry level one with the 8 inch screen? We can’t find any picture of that edition anywhere. Thanks

[@AutoSocialUK]

I haven’t seen one yet either but I’ll keep an ear to the ground and try and review one when they turn up at dealers.

[@Saboman]

@@AutoSocialUK Thanks a lot

[@Sorbetje82]

And can you test the standard audio system? Greetings

[@danjones8694]

Again the price is absolute lunacy

[@BigBearAJ]

No rear wiper , not good for reversing in the rain I HAVE TRIED , Also you have a massive piece of useless plastic separating the passenger like a wall , Horrible squeaky dash and the back end of the car is just wayyy toooo. uch plastic , Spend your money on ah other car , This is not an suv

[@pinkypoohable]

Oh no Toyota didn’t even bother improving the rear window visibility after moving the rear door handles to the body. I have the 1st generation CHR and the problem I have with it is this bunker cavey feel inside the cabin.

[@user-nc1do5pr3p]

Have they fitted dual horns the current c-hr horn is very poor you barley hear it inside the vehicle

[@richardhargrave6082]

Another good honest review, Tish! I just don't like the styling, its better than the old one, which was an abomination. The tiny rear windows made the old one claustrophobic inside and that hasn't changed. I don't like the bi-tone paint either! Inside, I like the dash and apart from the teeny windows, looks good I think maybe I'm not the target audience, I can see why people buy them

[@AutoSocialUK]

It’s funny because I remember when it first came out I thought it was really cool 😅 no after seeing this one, it think it looks a little funny 😅 I think you’re right, people who are buying these aren’t carrying rear passengers

[@MrDuncl]

@@AutoSocialUK The first time I saw one it had a personalised registration UF04SUE which seemed very appropriate. It is strange how cars go from looking amazing to mundane in just a few years. The same thing has happened (for me) with the BMW i8.

[@peoplelikeus3684]

Love it. :)

[@ShahabKhan-dx6ng]

CHR is better or Prius???

[@mrsbaylocksvideoemporium9621]

@@AutoSocialUK love your videos on this car. I want the premiere edition but not in two tone paint. And in AWD

[@ram64man]

and again another manufacture who thinks a rear wiper isn't needed for parking in the car park or in bad weather where tech is usless, toyota put the rear wiper back on, that rear window is a snow magnet

[@genepatrick4232]

From the first model of this Toyota,there was to much going on and the second generation is no different, much to much going on.

[@dirkkeersmaekers4343]

It used to be this one, but now there would be a new Honda Prelude......

[@AutoSocialUK]

That does look great!! I hope it doesn’t stray too far from the concept.

[@seowebua]

that toyota egg shaped 360 camera is such a terrible implementation. Shame about rear wiper and visibility also. That old 1.8 hybrid is definitely reliable, but not fun and not nearly as economical if you push it. It's just a typical toyota, but at least design is better now

Any option to permanently disable constant beeping when over speed limit or not looking at the road? Stupid EU will make us all incompetent idiots.

what about british car's.

Define British. If you take the narrowest view you end up with Morgan (and they use BMW engines). If you mean cars made in Britain most of the Corollas sold here are (even the engines).
