Previously, it was rumored that the C-HR model series was going to be cut, and the performance of C-HR in North America and Japan was not satisfactory to Toyota. This generation of the C-HR continues to be dominated by the Toyota Design Center in Europe and ignores the rear seats, and it is possible that the future focus of this car will be further in the European market, similar to the Yaris.
So back to the domestic market part, whether the new generation of Toyota C-HR can be introduced into the domestic market is still unknown, GAC Toyota official has not yet revealed a little bit of information about the new generation of models, but with the current GAC Toyota C-HR poor performance, the possibility of replacing the C-HR to introduce domestic production is there, but it is very weak.
Specifically, GAC Toyota C-HR's performance this year, in the first 11 months of this year, its average sales volume is about 1,000 units, and the market situation is relatively poorIn fact, there are ...... possibilities
Previously, in the Southeast Asian market, Toyota removed the C-HR, which had only been on the market for three years, in order to push the Corolla Cross to the top position, and the domestic market may also follow this strategy in the futureOn the other hand, the emergence of GAC Toyota Fenglanda is obviously more in line with the taste of domestic consumers, and the power is given to 20 liters of fuel as well as 20-liter hybrid, larger space than C-HR, but cheaper in price, plus FAW Toyota will also push the Corolla sharp into the game, obviously the current GAC Toyota C-HR, and its sister model FAW Toyota Yize izoa has no place.
Therefore, it is not impossible to wait for a while, and wait for the current GAC Toyota C-HR to be discontinued.
Is the current GAC Toyota C-HR still worth buying?
Note:Space is limited, we will only talk about the current GAC Toyota C-HR is worth buying, in addition, the point of view is actually the same FAW Toyota Yize Izoa, if you are optimistic about these two cars, who has a bigger discount can choose whom.
GAC Toyota C-HR positioning small SUV, first of all, it is clear that it is indeed not suitable for family use, it is a choice of more personalized type, the rear row is cramped in both leg and headroom, and the vehicle characteristics are similar to Mazda CX-30.
Since it is a model positioned for young people, in fact, there is no need to spray it, and the space is small, for the target positioning group, the utilization rate of their rear seats is already very low, as long as it is enough to provide a space for parents or friends sitting in the back seat. Therefore, the C-HR rear window also sacrifices the area of the window for the overall shape, and the rear window is indeed narrower but does not affect it too much.
C-HR exterior design, in fact, has a certain advantage, about ten years ago, you would never believe that this is a car designed by Toyota, the vehicle design can be described as "exaggerated", even in the small SUV market, in fact, it is relatively difficult to find such a visual effect as C-HR is very novel exterior design.
But to be honest, the interior design of the current GAC Toyota C-HR is really not good, and this interior design is indeed outdated if you look at it at the end of 2023, 10The 25-inch central control screen is not good for the time being, regardless of whether the built-in car machine system is good or not, the appearance is relatively average. Of course, the car machine system is really not easy to use, and there is a gap with the car machine made by the current independent brand, which is about two eras, but fortunately, it supports functions such as carplay and carlife mapping.
The GAC Toyota C-HR fuel version is equipped with a 20L self-priming + CVT combination, 171 horsepower (126kW) maximum power output to meet the daily commuting is no problem;In addition, the model is also available in a dual-engine version, which has the Atkinson Cycle Technology 2The 0-liter engine has a maximum power of 146 hp (107 kW) and a maximum torque of 188 Nm, while the electric motor responsible for power output in the hybrid system corresponds to 109 hp (80 kW) and 202 Nm, and the combined maximum power of the system is 135 kW, mated to an E-CVT continuously variable transmission.
GAC Toyota C-HR is actually a vehicle that is more suitable for driving in the city, with a short body + relatively good power response, which makes it very flexible in the city, and it is more dexterous than other SUV models in the Toyota family.
GAC Toyota C-HR to buy fuel or Shuangqing version depends on your car needs, if you just use it as a substitute to buy food, then the fuel version is enough, and now some areas can actually buy C-HR National VI A version, 15280,000 yuan for C-HR 20L Comfort is now available for 5 discounts30,000 yuan, naked car ** only 9980,000 yuan, which is equivalent to playing 65% off**, the price of this car is cheaper than the official guide price of Geely Binyue COOL Champion.
What about the hybrid version, there is no current car in Beijing at present, you have to book a current car, the booking cycle is about a month, of course, the *** grid of the Shuangqing version of C-HR can not do 40,000 yuan, about only more than 30,000 preferential range, if you don't worry about using the car, in fact, you can wait, and it is not too late to buy it when it really reaches the "freezing point".
"I Have a Car" Summary:Even though the GAC Toyota C-HR has an outdated in-vehicle system and a small interior space, it is a small SUV with strong practical and personalized characteristics, and it can give 2 to competing products in the same class0L self-priming engine and dual-engine power models are actually difficult to find, which is more suitable for those who like personalized cars.
