since 2016. Since 2020, it is positioned between the Yaris Cross and Corolla Cross in Toyota's crossover SUV range. The first-generation C-HR was available in many regions, including Japan, China, North America, Europe, Southeast Asia, and Australasia, and was produced in four countries. Since the release of the second-generation C-HR in 2023, availability of the C-HR has been limited to Europe and Australia, with production centralised in Turkey. The Corolla Cross, released in 2020, has largely taken over the model's positioning outside Europe. __TOC__

body style, its platform, and similar models. Now exclusively on a hybrid drivetrain, it introduces a plug-in hybrid option for the first time, though the PHEV will not be sold in Australia. With the same wheelbase as the previous model, the base models receive a 8.0-inch console display with higher end models including a dual 12.3-inch infotainment screen. The C-HR receives an upgrade in technology compared to the previous model, including a digital key, advanced safety systems, a remote parking option, and a hands-free driving system in traffic jams. The range consisted of the Hybrid 140, Hybrid 200, Hybrid 200 AWD-i, and the Plug-In Hybrid 220 AWD. The AWD versions have a compact electric motor on the rear axle which provides more power and torque for better traction and stability. Frequency Sensitive Control (FSC) is used to enhance handling and comfort. This hydro-mechanical system increases damping force at low frequencies to deliver superior body control, in roll and pitch, as well as maintaining better control during cornering. Reduced damping at high frequency further improves ride comfort. This feature is installed in the C-HR Plug-In Hybrid and GR Sport Premiere Edition. The C-HR GR Sport features 20-inch wheels with a
