7 Most Asked Questions About the Toyota C-HR Plus
What is the real-world range? While the WLTP rating is 606 km, Derek achieved a highly impressive 498 km of real-world range in Irish conditions, averaging 14.7 kWh per 100 km [01:29].
How fast does it charge? It supports 150 kW DC peak charging, going from 10% to 80% in about 30 minutes. It also features battery preconditioning when using the built-in sat-nav to chargers [02:26].
Does it come in All-Wheel Drive? Yes, but availability depends on the market. While AWD exists, some right-hand-drive markets like Ireland and the UK are currently focused on the front-wheel-drive version [03:14].
Is it cramped in the back? Despite the sloping roof, there is surprising space. A 6’2" passenger fits comfortably with a few centimetres of headroom and adequate knee room [03:48].
How big is the boot? The boot has a 416 litre capacity. In a practical test, it successfully fit two large and two carry-on suitcases with the parcel shelf removed [04:22].
What is the interior like? The cabin features a premium feel with less gloss black than previous models, a 13-inch screen borrowed from Lexus, and physical dials for climate control [05:33].
Which is better: C-HR Plus or bZ4X? It depends on your needs. The C-HR Plus offers a larger 77 kWh battery and more range, while the bZ4X provides more overall cabin and boot space for families [06:25].
