Sharper, faster and more family-friendly — the new C-HR+ feels like the car Toyota always meant to make. This, the Excel model, come with a 77kWh battery that offers a super 276 mile range and 30 minute charge time from 10 to 80 per cent. It'll put out 338bhp making it one of the most powerful cars Toyota has launched. Toyota seek to change the game when it comes to enjoyable to drive. The C-HR+ rolls with responsive, agile, and linear handling, with class-leading aerodynamics helping it cling to the road and improve efficiency. It’s comfortable too, even sitting on gargantuan 18” alloys, the worst UK potholed roads won't be enough to upset the C-HR+ too much. There’s a lot going on with the design with its striking surfacing, a coupé roofline and a ducktail spoiler making it all together incredibly distinctive. And it's the usual Toyota build inside with a pleasing array of buttons and screens available. The 14-inch screen dominates the front and is menu-heavy, although it’s quick to navigate. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included as standard. The physical climate dials are a personal highlight – not only do they look good, but they also neatly combine the tactility of physical controls with the versatility of a digital screen. All trims get two wireless phone chargers as standard, as well as heated front seats to help reduce reliance on battery-sapping heating. A heat pump is also standard. The boot is 416-litres, comfortably larger than the CH-R PHEV, and it has a tiny loading lip and a variable floor. Interior storage space is mostly good, with generous door bins line each door and there’s a shelf underneath the centre console. It's a lovely car to get along with, and your feeling of secure wellbeing is going to be boosted by the awesome battery warranty - 10 years at that.
