Toyota C-HR claimed as the top City SUV of 2024 by AA Driven COTY awards
The Toyota C-HR, a city crossover with a distinctive style and a sense of class, has been named the winner in the Lifestyle/Adventure category of the AA Driven Car of the Year 2024. This prestigious award recognises the C-HR's unique design and impressive performance.
The C-HR, with its official fuel consumption figure of 4.4l/100km for the mainstream 1.8-litre model, offers a blend of power and efficiency. Its hybrid powertrain captures energy during coasting and braking, feeding it back into the battery, resulting in low fuel consumption.
Toyota's mastery of hybrid technology is evident in the C-HR. The petrol-electric powertrains deliver good power, making every little trip feel special.
The C-HR maintains its own identity as a city crossover, showcasing unique styling and distinct switchgear in the cabin. The new GR Sport version enhances this style, making the C-HR feel more special and adding more power to its performance. The GR Sport version also includes all-wheel drive (AWD), providing enhanced control and stability.
While the C-HR is not the most compact or practical SUV in Toyota's lineup, it offers a unique small SUV experience. For those seeking more compactness, the Yaris Cross might be a better choice, while the Corolla Cross offers more space.
The C-HR's victory in the Lifestyle/Adventure category comes amidst stiff competition. Other notable contenders include the Jeep Avenger and Lexus LBX. The new generation of the Volkswagen T-Roc was chosen as the winner in the overall Car of the Year 2024, with categories such as Family SUV, Large SUV, Passenger, Hybrid/EV, Luxury, Sports/Performance, Safest, People's Choice, and an overall winner.
The C-HR's success is a testament to Toyota's shift from conservative to cool in the last few years. Its sensational styling and quality make it a standout choice in the SUV market. Whether you're looking for a stylish city crossover or a capable adventure vehicle, the C-HR offers a unique experience that is hard to beat.
