Toyota continues its slow rollout of its B-segment SUV, the Toyota C-HR – it has now revealed the Australian-market version of the Honda HR-V rival, ahead of its introduction Down Under in the first quarter of next year.
As expected for such an early unveiling, details remain scarce. We do know that OZ will receive the 1.2 litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine from the facelifted Auris (sold as the Corolla Hatch there), producing 115 PS from 5,200 to 5,600 rpm and 185 Nm between 1,500 and 4,000 rpm.
Transmission options have yet to be disclosed, but the C-HR will likely be offered with either a six-speed manual gearbox or a CVT, as is the case of the Corolla Hatch. Both front- and all-wheel drive will be offered.
The extrovertedly-styled crossover will be offered in two trims, Active and Koba – the latter referring to the car’s global chief engineer, Hiroyuki Koba. The higher-end model gets features like heated seats, keyless entry, push-button start, tinted privacy glass and 18-inch alloy wheels.
Both models will come with a 6.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a suite of safety features such as Pre-Collision System with autonomous braking, adaptive cruise control, Lane Departure Alert with steering control, automatic high beam and a reverse camera.

Local C-HR model to be CKD at new Toyota plant in Bukit Raja, Klang.
price starting from RM125K up
when?
Toyota cars are build using profit-first mindset.
Want cheap = no quality.
Want quality = not only expensive.
You can slowly dream. Once reached Proton land price sure starts from RM180++ for the 1.8L engine from Altis. All thanks to that Proton creator who started all these mess!!
CHR is created to compete with HRV & CX3. I don’t think the price will go up to 180K. It should stay within the price range of Altis from RM120K to 140K.
Go to Thai, still expensive.
Thanks to Pro….oh wait!
Mazda CX-3 > all
Proton Extrema more cun !
I just rechecked the post about Proton Extrema by paultan.org and I found that it was an April fool. damn it
My friend who’s also a Toyota sales rep has informed me that CH-R will only be launched latest by Q4 2017 or early 2018… UMW = U Must Wait! Her words.. not mine
Start Rm125 is not a good starts…. if full safety equipped then ok…
Not only are they slow in rolling this B segment SUV out to the rest of the world they are also pricing it along the same line as other brands C segment SUV models. Would love to see how well this model will fare against the HR-V which is the current title holder.
love the looks. better than HRV. much better. plus turbo engine.
That turbo engine sucks
Doom as CX3, too late too pricey
Stunning looks! Plan to replace my Prius with this CH-R or the latest Prius. Any tentative dates for the launch of either model in Malaysia?
The latest Pruis is fking ugly, choose the CH-R Hybrid.
As above
I can’t wait to see this car in the local toyota showroom… it’s probably kembara size.
HR-V killer is on its way…
Toyota salesman told us 1st quarter 2017 here launch.
looks overdone. the design might be overwhelming after awhile.
