  • Eye-catching new High Hero grade created for Toyota’s innovative C-segment SUV
  • High Hero succeeds the Premiere Edition, offering striking visual updates and Hybrid 140 powertrain option
  • New Metal Oxide colour emphasises bi-tone and bi-tone+ options for High Hero and selected other grades
  • Efficiency and driving pleasure from a choice of plug-in hybrid and hybrid powertrains across the range
  • 2025 Toyota C-HR line-up is made in Europe, for European customers and available to order now

The trend-setting Toyota C-HR takes bold design to a new level for 2025 with the introduction of the eye-catching new High Hero grade, which benefits from a wide range of ultra-efficient, electrified powertrain options.

The iconic Toyota C-HR, with its unconventional design, fun-to-drive character and renowned sensory quality, is a landmark model for Toyota. As one of Europe’s favourite cars, it reached the milestone of one million sales on the continent at the end of 2024.

For 2025, the Toyota C-HR makes an even stronger impression with the new High Hero grade, introduced to replace the previous Premiere Edition. It brings bold new styling updates to showcase the highest levels of design and equipment, inspired by the second-generation Toyota C-HR’s DNA as a ‘concept car for the road’.

In High Hero specification, the Toyota C-HR’s distinctive look is enhanced by the striking bi-tone+ colour scheme which creates the sleek appearance of a lower roof line via a strong black element on the side sills and roof. New design details emphasise the Toyota C-HR’s unique curves. The trim around the front grille is now colour matched to the vehicle colour, as is the rear bumper lip, while new 19-inch matt grey wheels complete the refined, modern exterior.

An energetic new Metal Oxide colour is available for the High Hero grade, as well as for bi-tone and bi-tone+ on selected other grades. It brings a deep and high chrome finish, and subtle changing effect to the dynamic character lines of Toyota C-HR’s unmistakable coupe silhouette.

The sophisticated updates extend inside the High Hero grade cabin, where updated front seat materials feature a mix of synthetic leather and suede, in deep red Bordeaux colour and accented with multicolour stitching. A Liquid Black gearshift knob, as well as trims on the door and front console, add a dynamic flourish, alongside the premium synthetic suede door panelling. In the rear, the Bordeaux palette is smartly executed in a combination of PVC and Samara materials for a comfortable, hard-wearing finish.

The High Hero cabin has a lighter and more spacious feeling thanks to the unique panoramic roof, which creates 3 cm of additional headroom and uses innovative technology to keep heat inside the cabin on cooler days and prevent overheating in sunny weather. As well as head-up driver display, the interior also features a 64-colour ambient lighting system for a serene atmosphere and enhanced safety via visual warnings, as well as nanoeX™ technology for improved air quality.

Elsewhere within the Toyota C-HR range, the GR SPORT Premiere Edition is given an updated identity as the GR SPORT Hero, boasting the same unique motorsports-inspired features. These include FSC shock absorber technology to deliver optimised handling adjusted to the road conditions, while a dynamic damper on the front strut reduces road noise and vibration. Imposing 20-inch wheels and stunning bi-tone+ colouring compliment eye-catching details, which include a G mesh grille pattern, GR badging, and sports front seats with embossed GR logo. Inside, there is Liquid Black ornamentation on the centre console, while head-up display and premium JBL audio system are also included.

For 2025, the Toyota C-HR offers a wide choice of powertrains across the range. The latest, fifth generation Toyota hybrid technology is at the heart of all Toyota C-HR variants, achieving an exceptional balance of increased power and low emissions. In Plug-in Hybrid 220 specification, the Toyota C-HR boasts an EV range to satisfy modern European customer needs, expressing a dual DNA as a zero tailpipe emission electric vehicle for short trips, and ultra-efficient hybrid for longer journeys. It has a range of 66 km in the combined WLTP cycle, increasing to around 100 km in urban driving conditions (WTLP EAER City). Expanding on the options offered by its Premiere Edition predecessor, the High Hero grade is available with 1.8-litre Hybrid 140 powertrain alongside the Plug-in Hybrid 220 and Hybrid 200 options, with their 2.0-litre engines.

All versions of the Toyota C-HR benefit from Toyota T-Mate, which includes the third generation Toyota Safety Sense range of active safety and driver assistance features, as standard. The wide-ranging Toyota T-Mate systems help safeguard against accidents, provide protection in the event of an impact and assist the driver to make manoeuvres, whether parking or driving in traffic.

Roll-out of the 2025 Toyota C-HR line-up is beginning now across Europe.
