2021 Toyota C-HR GR Sport Review

Rebecca Jackson reviews the 2021 Toyota C-HR in GR Sport trim to see if this strikingly styled hybrid crossover can also be fun to drive. When powered by the 2.0-litre petrol hybrid drivetrain of this test car, the C-HR GR Sport has 181bhp and can get from 0-62mph in 8.2 seconds.

In this CarGurus UK video, Rebecca assesses the C-HR for interior practicality and quality, boot space, equipment and safety, as well as considering the handling and styling upgrades that come from the GR trim level.

got this vehicle as a company car only temporary and I must say that I am sold what a lovely vehicle to be honest I’ve only ever had German high-end vehicles but this one really does take the biscuit I’m so impressed with how easy and enjoyable is to drive

My son bought a 2018 with the standard 2.0 liter. His first car. I’m very impressed, overall with the CHR. For an entry-level car it’s impressively quiet with a raft of safety equipment. Compared to my first car (in the late 70’s), it’s a luxury sport sedan! It’s perfect for my 17yo son. Economical with many safety aids and practical load space. By today’s standards it’s not fast, but extremely practical and pretty comfortable. Kids don’t know how good they have it these days. 😁👍

We got 7.03 seconds 0 to 60 when tested in our Orange Edition 2.0 litre Hybrid. Put the car in Sport mode, gear to the right and don't hold the brake like you do launch control in other cars, just floor it and off you go. 😁

Had my Orange edition for just over a year and am very pleased with it.
It's only the wife and I in the car so lack of rear space is not an issue for us.
Bought initially for the Hybrid tech, great modern looks and all the safety features.
Just waiting for Toyotas full EV to appear now.

If ever a car needed a panoramic roof, this is that car.

Bought my CHR just over a year ago .2.0 litre Dynamic Nebula Blue, .A fantastic car with a great range.I get at least 57-67 +When I drive it sensibly with 67-70 per cent in EV and at least 47 -55 + when I'm in boy racer mode.Highly recommended.

The TNGA chassis with its double rear wishbone suspension is the reason modern Toyota product designs from the Corolla upwards ride & handle decently.

I have a dark grey CHR GR 2021, and I'm very happy with it. They only downside I could think of is the very 2004-ish built-in nav/media system. Any cheap IPad is better than that. I use wireless Apple carplay dongle, and its OK with that.

[davidevans]

We hired one of these for a family holiday in Cornwall back in May. A very good car well done Toyota.

I've been watching Rebecca's reviews for years now, every now and again when they pop up. You are just about the most consistent reviewer in modern times, and a joy to watch with your light and joyful approach, even when criticising. What would've blended you in fourty years ago is now what positively differentiates you from a pack of testosterone infused, metaphor packed clarckson enthusiasts.

Thank you for being yourself. You rock!

[whitemoor]

The look on your face when you pulled away said it all. My youngest daughter absolutely loves these, and I do too!

[Lynn-zwdr]

We've ordered the same one as this, sport, white black roof, as I speak it's in transit somewhere between Turkey and the UK and 28th October delivery, maybe sooner and can't wait, its lovely to drive. 👌🏻👍🏻

Yes on paper & driving the 2.0lt variant is a no brainier but the loss of boot space in the 2.0lt is substantial. The 1.8lt is the way to go if you need a ok sized boot.

[Filipmarinchev]

I try this C - HR GR the last Friday . Absolutely excellent care to drive ! The ride is perfect ! Toyota made the car ( from 2020 ) even more fun to drive . This one is with better suspension, sharper steering en better esolation inside .

[Emmasue]

I got this car with high expectations and was disappointed with window seals allowing air in whilst driving, which drove me nuts. The heated seating broke down after 6mths, but having said that its been fun to drive and very smooth

[Nigelrudyardmusic]

Looks great, goes great, and it will be reliable. What's not to like?

[northstar]

A cracking car, love our Design variant with optional 2 litre engine. Boot space is a bit limited and that's down to the body design which I love. The ride is excellent. Could do with a few more power points but I can forgive it for that.

[lornadavis]

I've just brought a 2018 chr love it.

[willem]

bought my self a C-HR 2, 0 GR sport !!!....and I love it !

[steveray]

One thing that I find irrelevant are the 0-60 mph times. How often do you go from a stop to 60 mph? Would it not be more relevant to state the 0-20 mph or 0-40 mph times? or even the 60-80 mph (for passing) times? as this is more in line with most peoples driving habits.
