What level of SUV is the CHR?
2 Answers
CHR is a compact SUV, which belongs to the GAC Toyota brand. Taking the 2020 Toyota CHR as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4405mm, width 1795mm, height 1565mm, wheelbase 2640mm, fuel tank capacity 50 liters, and curb weight 1490kg. The 2020 Toyota CHR is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 126kW at 6600rpm, maximum torque of 203Nm at 4400-4800rpm, and is paired with a 10-speed continuously variable transmission.
The Toyota C-HR belongs to the small SUV category, and I believe its dimensions make it the most suitable choice, with a body length of around 4.4 meters and a wheelbase of 2640 mm, making it quite compact. As someone who frequently drives on city roads, I find its engine is typically a 1.8L hybrid system producing 122 horsepower, delivering smooth performance but not overly aggressive acceleration, making it ideal for daily commuting. The advantage of such small SUVs is their nimble handling and easy parking, making them effortless to maneuver on crowded streets. However, the trunk space is somewhat limited—sufficient for luggage but not particularly spacious. Overall, it's positioned as an entry-level family vehicle, smaller than mid-size SUVs like the RAV4 but offering a higher seating position and better visibility than small sedans, providing a strong sense of security while driving. Its fuel efficiency is impressive; I've averaged around 5 liters per 100 km on multiple drives, with fuel economy being a highlight. The chassis tuning leans toward firmness, offering strong handling but potentially causing slight fatigue on long trips.
