Our verdict

Tested here is the Toyota C-HR hybrid. This is a compact and light vehicle, and its operating strategy makes good use of the high voltage electric system, resulting in very creditable consumption values. The C-HR hybrid achieves a high rating score with robust emissions control, a highly efficient powertrain and reduced resources usage.

  • Strong overall emission control, but weaker pollutant management in ‑7°C cold start test reduces the score. Average tyre and brake abrasion performance.
  • Very good fuel efficiency (4–6.9 l/100 km) leads to a strong energy efficiency score, supported by low production energy demand.
  • Relatively low life cycle emissions (195.5 g CO2‑eq./km) for a petrol car lead to a good index result, but fossil fuel use still limits the achievable score.

6.8 10 Clean Air

The CH-R's exhaust aftertreatment is highly efficient, reducing the exhaust pollutants in all but the Winter cold start test. Here, the control over the hydrocarbons is lost and Green NCAP's threshold is crossed, leading to negative points. Additionally, the CO emissions and the particle number approach the assessment upper limit. This behaviour leads to a severely reduced score for the ‑7°C cold start test and reveals a weakness of the C-HR, although such conditions are infrequent, and the real-world mixed drive test showed good results. For tyre and brake abrasion, about half of the available points were collected.

7.7 10 Energy Efficiency

The car scores very well in the Energy Efficiency Index thanks to favourable energy demand in the production processes and impressive fuel consumption figures. The measured result is only 4 l/100 km in the warm test and increase to 5.9 l/100 km in the ‑7°C Winter cold start test and to 6.9 l/100 km in the high speed and power demand Highway Test. The real-world mixed test was performed at 12°C on dry road and recorded only 4.4 l/100 km, whereas the short city trip impressed with 4.7 l/100 km.

5.5 10 Greenhouse Gases

The low fuel consumption values help the C-HR score better in this part of the assessment compared to many other combustion engine cars, but burning fossil fuel nevertheless emits significant amounts of CO2, limiting the achievable score. In the full vehicle life cycle, a total of 195.5 g CO2‑eq./km are estimated, 116 g CO2‑eq./km of which are direct exhaust GHG emissions. Nevertheless, the result is a creditable one for a car running on petrol.
