The Toyota C-HR (Japanese: トヨタ C-HR, Hepburn: Toyota Shīeichiāru) is a subcompact crossover SUV produced by Toyota. The production version of the C-HR was unveiled at the March 2016 Geneva Motor Show. The North American production version was also unveiled at the November 2016 LA Auto Show. The production of the C-HR started in November 2016. It was launched in Japan on 14 December 2016,[4] and it went on sale in Europe, Australia, South Africa and North America in early 2017, and in Southeast Asia, China and Taiwan in 2018. The name C-HR stands for Compact High Rider,[4] Cross Hatch Run–about[4] or Coupé High–Rider.[5]

Initial production was in Japan and Turkey. The North American-spec C-HR is imported from Turkey.[6] The C-HR was announced in 2019 as the first Battery electric vehicle in Toyota's upcoming lineup, to be available in the Chinese market in 2020.[7]

The 2WD models are available with both engines, while the only motor for the 4WD models is 1.2-litre turbo. Model grades are 1.8 S, 1.8 G, 1.2 S-T and 1.2 G-T.

The Thai-built C-HR with 1.8-litre 2ZR-FBE engine is sold in certain Asian countries like Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei. The ASEAN production version was unveiled in Thailand on November 30, 2017 at the 34th Thailand International Motor Expo. For the Indonesian market, the C-HR was launched on April 10, 2018. The Hybrid version was also displayed in Indonesia at the 2017 and 2018 Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Shows, and launched for sale on April 22, 2019.

For Singapore and Taiwan, the C-HR is only offered with 1.2-litre 8NR-FTS petrol engine. Singapore only gets the 2WD model in Active and Luxury grades. Buyers in Taiwan can choose the 2WD and 4WD models.

For the Chinese market, the C-HR is sold by GAC Toyota while the model sold by FAW Toyota is called the IZOA. The IZOA features a front bumper grille with horizontal lines instead of mesh on the C-HR. Both the C-HR and IZOA were revealed at the Auto Guangzhou in November 2017 and went on sale in April 2018.
