Combining the versatility of an SUV with the compact convenience of a hatchback can't be an easy task, but looking at the Toyota C-HR that was waiting patiently on my pavement, it struck me that Toyota had a winner in this segment.
"With its striking, in-your-face design, careful attention to detail and punchy 1.2 litre turbo engine, we believe the C-HR delivers the perfect package for image conscious urbanites. Further setting C-HR apart is its fun-to-drive character which rewards the spirited driver." says Glenn Crompton, Vice-President of Marketing at Toyota South Africa.
The design of the C-HR gave the impression of a coupe, however once I climbed inside I was amazed at how much space the C-HR has. Then in true sporty hot hatch style, the C-HR lept from standstill to 100kmph in just over 10 seconds and sipped slowly at just 6.3 litres per 100 kilometres.
I tested the six speed manual derivative, with Toyota's iMT system (intelligent Manual Transmission), however there is a CVT automatic gearbox available in the C-HR, with an 'electronic brain'.
17 inch wheels and lots of ground clearance leaves you in no doubt that this is a very capable "Crossover" model from Toyota.
