Even though the pictures make it look as if the C-HR is a subcompact crossover, the hybridized model is actually slotted in the C-segment. Its dimensions tell it how it is: 4,360 mm (171.6 in) long, 1,795 mm (70.7 in) wide, 1,555 mm (61.2 in) high, plus a wheelbase of 2,640 millimeters (103.9 in).

The latter is what interests us the most because interior space depends on wheelbase. To put those 2,640 mm into perspective, the subcompact-sized Nissan Juke makes do with 2,530 mm (99.6 in), while the compact-sized Renault Kadjar ups the ante to 2,647 mm (104.2).

Although Toyota has yet to release pictures of the rear seats, the C-HR looks pretty spacious up front. Speaking of space, trunk space stands at a respectable 370 liters, or 13 cubic feet. Regarding design, the cabin “represents a new ‘Sensual Tech’ design concept combining high-tech functionality with a sensual and fashionable style.” The driver-focused cockpit and blue wraparound detailing are the highlights.

The asymmetrical design of the cabin further boasts a free-standing infotainment system dubbed Touch 2, as well as a conservative gear lever for the continuously variable transmission. Speaking of the CVT, this transmission comes as standard on the hybrid variant of the 2017 Toyota C-HR. With this powertrain, the C-HR prides itself on a maximum output of 120 horsepower (122 PS or 90 kW) and a combined cycle fuel consumption figure of 76.3 miles per imperial gallon. In old money, that’ll be 63.6 U.S. mpg or 3.7 l/100 km.

The more conventional powertrain, on the other hand, makes use of a 1.2-liter turbocharged four-banger with 114 horsepower (116 PS) and 136 lb-ft (185 Nm) of torque. Customers who opt for the 6-speed manual will have to settle for a front-wheel-drive chassis. Those who would rather the CVT can tick the AWD option from the list. In the United States of America and certain other markets, the 2017 Toyota C-HR will also be offered with a 148 horsepower (150 PS) 2.0-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder gasoline-fed engine.
