It appears that not only is the Toyota C-HR coming to Indonesia, it will also be assembled there, according to Indonesian automotive portal AutonetMagz. The publication quoted a source in product planning at Toyota Astra Motor who wished not to be named.
What’s more, Indonesia will differ from other markets, which offer either a 115 PS/185 Nm 8NR-FTS 1.2 litre turbocharged engine matched to either a CVT or a six-speed manual, a 150 PS/193 Nm 2.0 litre naturally-aspirated mill with a CVT or a hybrid model that utilises a 98 PS/142 Nm 1.8 litre engine and a 72 PS/163 Nm electric motor.
Instead, the archipelago will receive the same 1.5 litre 2NR-FE Dual VVT-i engine as the Sienta and recently revised Vios. In those models, the mill produces 107 PS at 6,000 rpm and 140 Nm at 4,200 rpm, mated to either a CVT or a five-speed manual. The source said that the car will also get minor exterior and interior revisions compared to other markets, similar to the Indonesian Sienta vis-à-vis the Japanese-market model.
While it’s tempting to imagine the possibility of a 1.5 litre C-HR entering the market as a budget option, the reality is that our models will more likely be offered solely with the 2.0 litre mill in order to more squarely take on the Honda HR-V 1.8L and the Mazda CX-3 2.0L.

Look so hot….. but the rear seat so small… definitely not suitable for family…. HR-V challenger.
Why our market also got no 1.5? The answer is simple. Then the price would be too close to Proton prices and people will 100% not buy Proton anymore.
This is the reason why MITI only allows big CC engines into our market so that they can fool Malaysians and charge more for it.
Anyway, congrats to the car being made in Indonesia. Toyota Japan might decide to make the car in Indonesia and export it to Malaysia for they are very scared of the corruption going on in Malaysia to commit a CKD plant in Malaysia
when it comes to Malaysia it will use a recycled old vios engine. No wonder so many unsold Altis and Camry in the stock yard.
Br-v 1.5 price still far from p1, so?
P1 price can be far or near does not matter. People eyes very big. Especially those who kerja kerajaan. Always buy things they cannot afford to make payments.
Even gomen servant earning RM1500 also go and beg for loan to buy Honda CRV at 140k. Must gaya and show neighbours
Bull…there are many car with 1.5L heck even 1.0L n 1.3L oso available..1 or 2 of them have turbo summore.
Have turbo also but so much more expensive. Anyway, gomen should bring 1.8 Hybrid like Singapore. Then can sell cheaper to Malaysians.
But gomen will never do that. They will never sell cheap to the rakyat who is suffering and need cheaper car prices.
Singapore got 1.8 Hybrid engine. When we gonna get hybrid oso??
Wrong.The main reason is UMW don’t want too many 1.5 engine that will effect it’s own model line up.Coz UMW already got Avanza,Rush,Sienta and definitely will effect Vios sales too.They already headache to fight Vios with Honda coz City eat their bread and butter model left and right brutally.UMW losing market shares like never ending story.Currently Honda pretty smart marketing each their product at perfect budget and target.The best way for UMW is to slot in 1.8 or 2.0 coz they really weak at this kind range of engine as Altis sales not moving forward,eaten by Civic,HRV and CRV..If UMW decide to fix 1.5 into CHR the price not going down near to Ertiga or Exora too.. Let say 85k-95k it just damaging Vios sales more.
UMW headache? lol they just shaking leg lah. See Innova still no VSC for lower model.
You see Vios just put VSC and push button and pray they could win City lol. So senang.
12 month old Tucson would be a great alternative. Great value for money
UMWT would be stupid if they dont bring in the 1.2l turbo
I experienced 1.2 turbo nissan Gashgai SG car ( x trail twin brother) . Not worry , power cukup !!!
toyota is stupid. Pasti underpower deh. Bodi besar seperti itu masa dikasih mesin avanza sih. Hmm….. Asean oh asean…..
why kerajaan dont allow 1.8 Hybrid like Singapore got? Then can get tax free wor
Please come to Maysia with Hybrid. I straight away tukar Prius C jadi C-HR.
Somebody shows off ada prius c
kerajaan dont allow. Then got EEV status. Sure price RM80k. Too cheap to perah Malaysians
Singapore get hybrid. Malaysia get junk. Cos UMW give trash to Malaysians
Wow confirm underpower…all show no go in Jakarta lol
Who need power in Jakarta road.Traffic jam for hours,they just need a ride and running engine.
Rest in Pieces Honda HRV (Hideous. Rotten .Vehicle).
Sayonara to the outdated HRV once this reaches Malaysia provided if it comes with decent prices and safety features by the infamous UMW:)
if price nearly the same as Mazda 3, then HRV selamat, if on par with HRV, then Honda better start offer radical facelift model for HRV
HRV is 1.8 and Paultan said Malaysia 2.0 which mean price not on par with HRV.More expensive for sure.Look at Altis price 120k.
Betul bro, apabila waranty Honda Celaka yg tidak berguna sudah reput, terus trade in atau kasi jual lagi baik.
HR-V memang kereta buruk dan ketinggalan zaman berbanding dgn CH-R.
Kakak I pakai tak sampai 3 bulan sudak banyak masalah dari segi kualiti pemasangan dalaman dan bahagian axle belakang. Jadikan Kereta amgkat sampah lagi baik.
Sial punya HR-V. Kereta bodoh dan buruk:(
Tapi SG pakai tak masalah , sana pangil Vezel ..probably CBU from Japan..
Kesian dengar cerita bro….haha !
To hell with the outdated and ugly AF HR-V.
Stupid Blinded Malaysians who think its the best.
Rubbish junk mini SUV compared to CX-3, CH-R and Juke.
You guys speak like HRV is your first wife and CH-R your new concubine. Kesian HRV. When it first came out, it got loaded of praises. But the way I look at how you guys despise it, it sounds pretty bad. Kesian first wife.
Looks like its coming here in a matter of time. It will make the B-segment SUV more interesting & give M’sian more choices.
I think price will be the deciding factor as i see both H & T are almost equal in specs & sizes. This is good news 4 Toyo fans & Bad news 4 Hondasan fans.
Can’t wait to book one for the wife. Surely get challenged on the road by HRV and Myvi drivers, but one thing good about women drivers is that they don’t notice or just ignore such aggression by other drivers who have an inferiority complex, who usually are males.
This car when come to malaysia surely very expensive
This car when come to malaysia surely kosong spec
This car when driven in malaysia all show, no go.
Seems to describe perfectly what toyota is right here.
The 1.2L turbo should be able to sell here. Cheap roadtax and loads of low end torque for a small SUV. Volkswagen taught us that small cc engine doesn’t mean no power if there is forced induction.
The hybrid can be considered too if is CKD since no need to pay excise duty just like the Camry Hybrid.
The Jetta twincharger has both a supercharger and turbo charger from its turbo stratified injection which is VW’s own direct injection technology. Volkswagen has years of experience building forced induction engines and they are much ahead f the Japanese.
Unfortunately the DSG makes the owner well known among tow truck drivers
Get a 12 month old Tucson instead.
No DSG issue and its great value for money
Not powerful enough. Too weak.With that look, a least 1.5 turbo, with 2 liter NA performance. HRV already at 1.8L.
TOYOTA thought people just wanna buy the look without solid performance backup?
Buyer will regret when they struggled to overtake axia at highway.
Yup, just want looks nice & affortable car… dont really car much of performance when u only driving in town area… jam most of the time
indon don’t understand turbo, as simple as that
wow so many dislikes for telling the truth.. common people’s last turbo cars in Indonesia were daihatsu charade g13 ’85, holden/isuzu gemini ’88 and fiat uno turbo ’94. Volvo, vw golf gti and merc w202 230k were simply not common people’s cars. Displacement is more important here; you can have a quad turbo v10 direct injection gasoline blah blah blah engine, but if the displacement is only 1000cc people will not be interested in it. Well some people will because they are turbo literate, but it doesn’t mean they will buy the car because they will be thinking about how to resell the car later and its resale value. 1500cc is perceived to be the smallest displacement for most cars.
Turbo is labeled as expensive, unreliable and high maintenance.
Most people here think ford fiesta ecoboost is a joke because it’s a one litre car priced as a 1800cc na car.
they dont care about the horsepower, the turbo or the world’s best engine title, because they will simply compare the one litre engine to 1980’s Suzuki Carry engine.
if you think you 1. are turbo literate, 2. care about the power, 3. think turbo is low maintenance / reliable, 4. don’t care about resale value; then you can’t classify yourself under common people.
I think the designer forget the central display, and they add in last minute… make it a bit weird..
Oh oh oh… The rear door handle… Don’t know how to comment… The position is just “fantastic”…
malaysian don’t care about engine power. They oso not interested with safety features. They are very interested with bodykits, bodykits and more performance stickers.
Yes, malaysian very interested with either ‘GearUpToHell’ bodykits or ‘Total Retard Dumbass Stupidvo’ bodykits. Yet when it comes to child seat, make thousands of noise (same like installation of rear safety belt 8 years ago, even FOC also complain).
CHR please come to Malaysia with 7 airbags, not like BRV with only 2 airbags. With 1.5 engine it will be useless suv car. If CHR price more expensive than HRV or mazda3, I think Honda will be winner again and again. If CHR price close to BRV price, I think CHR will be majority car on Malaysia road. CHR is really sporty beautiful car but in the picture look like it has small rear seat. And about TSS safety, I did not found it in Malaysian Toyota Website.
apa la u compare CHR dgn BRV.
mcm x kena aje.
i rasa mcm ni baru tepat :
CHR vs HRV vs CX3.
Rush/avanza vs BRV.
Miss, this car will only available here 2018…haha
Perodua, when you gonna rebadge it as Nautica Neo?
It can only happen when Daihatsu is licence to.
Yes pls sell it around RM60k, P2 confirms retain no.1 spot for another 20yrs.
Looking agressive but just 1.5L.. CX3 far way better
Cx 3 also got 1.5L at other country… i think affortable 1.5L is a good choice for single or two ppl…. doesn’t care much about power n performance while u driving at town area most of the time.
Consider a used Tucson. Fantastic value for money
Clearly this is Toyota’s answer to the Honda HR-V. I’m sure the technology will be world class, the interior will be comfortable, but the exterior resembles a robot ! It’s too futuristic ! I question as to whether this vehicle should be sold with a turbo. Most journeys are short distance, which wears down a turbo charger over time. Perhaps Toyota should consider the 1.5L from the Vios or the 1.8L from the Altis ? Price wise…….to be competitive, the base model should be around MYR 95,000 or it will go head on with the HR-V. Forget Mazda CX-3, In malaysia, it’s just way too overpriced. They should really consider the CX -3 to be CKD. If Mazda wants to be a serious player on their ‘return’ to Malaysia, their cars must be (price) positioned with the likes of Nissan, Toyota, Honda.
