Toyota C-HR News in Malaysia

Though many cars preach it, few cars deliver such epitomic style, street-cred and practicality in one package like the Toyota C-HR. In many ways, the C-HR is the Japanese equivalent of lifestyle icons such as the MINI Cooper and Volkswagen Beetle. The Toyota C-HR not only introduced an edgy new design language and improved driving dynamics thanks to its TNGA platform, it marked a comeback in terms desirability for Toyota vehicles, something that was sorely missing since the halo days of the earl

When crossover SUVs were starting to pick up in popularity in Malaysia, the battle was between the Honda HR-V and the Toyota C-HR. The latter’s quirky design and higher price tag were a bit too much for most Malaysians which resulted in Honda dominating the non-national crossover market. But Toyota isn’t giving up on the C-HR completely as the outgoing generation is still offered overseas but after 6 years, it’s time for a new generation to take over. Enter the Toyota C-HR Prologue Concept which

The last time there was speculation about a next-gen 2023 Toyota C-HR, it was all rather unalluringly grey. Now though, Best Car Web's artists have taken the liberty to put the much-touted model into production...well, digitally through a render at least. Unlike the previous speculation where the car was to be based on the Toyota Small SU-EV concept, this time around the 'next-gen C-HR' is said to be truer to the form of the Toyota bZ Compact SUV, a car that was first shown by Toyota themselves

Over the last long Malaysia Day weekend, patent images of a mysterious Toyota SUV emerged. As it is with sudden appearances like these, there was a halo of hypotheses surrounding it. Actually the car itself isn't too big of a surprise – the world's sort of seen it already in full Technicolour, as the Small SU EV back at Toyota's Battery EV Strategies presentation in December 2021 alongside a bunch of other BEVs. But what exactly is it? Also read: Used Toyota C-HR for under RM 110k; Toyota's styl

ASEAN NCAP turns 10 this year and fittingly marked the occasion by handing out awards recognising vehicle safety milestones within the region. Unsurprisingly, Toyota were among the big winners of the night with four awards and just had to share with the world. Toyota Daihatsu Engineering & Manufacturing (TDEM), Toyota’s regional office in Asia for engineering, manufacturing and other functions, today announced that Toyota received multiple “Decade of Safer Vehicle Awards” in conjunction with the

Following the success of the Toyota Corolla Cross, the Toyota C-HR will is now taking a backseat in Thailand, the largest market in South East Asia for the controversially-styled Toyota compact SUV. Previously, the Thailand-assembled Toyota C-HR was available with two powertrain options – a 1.8-litre naturally aspirated 2ZR-FBE Dual VVT-i (B for E20 bio-ethanol fuel compatible, otherwise similar to Corolla Altis’ 2ZR-FE) paired to a CVT-type automatic, and a 1.8-litre hybrid 2ZR-FXE paired to a

Previously in our year-end review of sorts, we have taken a look at the most important car launches but in this article, we'll focus on the models that have been discontinued in 2020. Some of them are pulled out due to being replaced, poor sales, or in the case of one of them, bad luck. Without further distractions, let’s pour out a little motor oil for these fallen models that were killed off in 2020.
