Toyota C-HR2025

Known issues

• CVT transmission occasionally exhibits slight lag on initial acceleration from standstill in very cold conditions—brief and not a mechanical fault
• Minor water ingress into door seals reported in high-rainfall UK/Irish climates (2023–2024 early units)—easily sealed by dealer
• Infrequent reports of 12V auxiliary battery discharge if vehicle left unused for 4+ weeks due to hybrid system parasitic drain
• Early (2024) infotainment system occasional touchscreen unresponsiveness—software updates resolve
• Brake dust accumulation on alloys more visible than traditional cars due to lighter regenerative braking wear
• Rare instances of hybrid battery thermal management fan noise under extreme heat (not a fault, by design)

Good for

• Exceptional fuel economy and low CO₂ emissions (110–120 g/km WLTP, real-world ~45–52 mpg) with minimal AdBlue/emissions complexity
• Toyota hybrid reliability track record—no significant battery degradation expected within 10-year ownership; battery warranty typically 10 years/160,000 km
• Low servicing costs due to minimal engine stress and regenerative braking reducing brake wear; no timing belt replacement needed
• Smooth, quiet urban driving with responsive hybrid system; excellent in stop-start traffic and commuting
