Toyota Malaysia has revealed the first few details of the C-HR with the launch of a registration of interest (ROI) page on its official website. The C-HR is certainly one of the most anticipated cars set to be introduced in Malaysia, competing against the likes of the Honda HR-V and Mazda CX-3.
Starting with the mechanical bits, the Malaysian-spec C-HR will be powered by a 1.8 litre petrol engine, as stated on the ROI page. The engine is mated to a CVT automatic, but it isn’t explicitly stated if this is a hybrid or non-hybrid model – the latter being the first time we’ll see such an offering. If that is the case, the C-HR will take the HR-V head on in terms of engine capacity.
In other markets, the C-HR is offered with the 8NR-FTS 1.2 litre turbo four-cylinder as well as a 2.0 litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder. The hybrid option is similar to the Prius, and consists of a 1.8 litre VVT-i Atkinson cycle four-cylinder engine, a pair of electric motors and a CVT gearbox.
On the equipment front, the C-HR will feature follow-me-home headlights, puddle lights (within the side mirrors) as well as a “full range of safety features,” the last of which includes rear cross traffic alert. There’s also a shot of the car’s interior, which appears to have a UMW Toyota head unit similar to that on the latest Innova, as well as fabric upholstery for the seats.
Customers will get to choose from six colour options, the first three being monotone offerings like White Pearl Crystal Shine, Metal Stream Metallic and Attitude Black Mica. The remaining three are two-tone options that feature a black roof – Red Mica, Radiant Green Metallic and Blue Metallic.
The C-HR will make an appearance next month at Batu Kawan Stadium, Penang, in conjunction with the Toyota Gazoo Racing (TGR) Racing Festival from August 12-13. So, among the compact crossovers offered by Toyota, Honda and Mazda, will you pick the C-HR over its rivals?

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments express mixed feelings about the Toyota C-HR for Malaysia, with some praising its stylish look and innovative design, while others criticize its perceived high pricing, limited features, and technical outdatedness. Several comments suggest it may struggle against competitors like Honda HR-V and Mazda CX-3 due to lack of turbo or hybrid options, small interior space, and unappealing rims. There is concern that UMW Toyota might price it too high, limiting its competitiveness, while others hope for a more affordable range to better challenge existing models. Overall, the sentiment indicates skepticism about the car’s market success unless priced realistically, with some anticipation that it will appeal to those valuing style, but many comment on the need for better features and value to succeed.
