  • Predictive Efficient Drive with new geo-fencing function optimises battery usage
  • Toyota C-HR Plug-in Hybrid 220 delivers an equivalent all-electric range (EAER) of around 100 km in city and urban areas, or up to 66 km in the combined WTLP cycle 
  • Innovative heat pump minimises impact of air conditioning system on EV range

The bold new Toyota C-HR Plug-in Hybrid 220 uses innovative technology to make smart decisions which improve real-world driving efficiency and optimise the effortless experience to offer true electrified daily driving, with zero tailpipe emissions.

For downtown driving, the new Toyota C-HR Plug-in Hybrid 220 uses a combination of hardware and software innovations to achieve an EV range to match European customer needs. When used exclusively on city or urban streets, it achieves an equivalent all-electric range of between 97 km and 106 km (WTLP EAER City) depending on the exact vehicle specifications.

A Predictive Efficient Drive system uses live data and information from previous trips to automatically optimise PHEV system functionality for enhanced efficiency. It includes a geo-fencing function – new for the Toyota C-HR Plug-in Hybrid 220 – to stay one step ahead of what the journey has in store. The system analyses road and traffic conditions via the cloud navigation and combines this with ongoing learning of a user’s regular routes and driving style. The vehicle automatically switches between hybrid and electric modes to enhance EV range for low emission zones. If the destination requires travel through a BEV-mandatory zone, the geo-fencing system ensures sufficient charge to do so entirely in EV mode. If the destination is within a low emission zone, the system automatically retains enough charge to complete the journey in EV mode.

Another Predictive Efficient Drive element – Predictive Deceleration Support – works to reduce the loss of regenerated energy, contributing to improve fuel economy. Utilizing the information from previous journeys, navigation system data identifies regular locations for deceleration and automatically increases engine braking force to enhance regenerative braking energy recovery.

When highways or uphill sections are approaching, which require additional power, the system proactively selects hybrid mode to charge the battery for the anticipated high demand, further enhancing practical fuel efficiency. The system becomes increasingly effective as more kilometres are driven, enabling ever more efficient use of electric power.

Greater efficiency with the Plug-in Hybrid 220 is also achieved through hardware innovations. When plugged in, a battery heating system reduces the time taken to recharge, which enhances the vehicle’s EV range in cold weather. During operation, the battery is cooled when needed to optimise performance and range while an innovative heat pump air conditioning system reduces the impact on EV driving range by using thermal energy from the air outside to heat the cabin.

When the battery is depleted on longer journeys, the Toyota C-HR Plug-in Hybrid 220 expresses its genuine dual DNA by switching automatically to hybrid mode, giving drivers the reassurance and flexibility of Toyota’s class-leading hybrid technology for continuous efficiency and peace of mind on every trip. The Toyota C-HR Plug-in Hybrid 220 features an advanced PHEV system, consisting of a 163 DIN HP (120 kW) electric motor on the front axle, with energy stored in a high-output 13.6 kWh Li-ion battery, alongside a 2.0 litre engine with 152 DIN HP (112 kW).
