Toyota Safety Sense technologies for Toyota C-HR (Coupe – High Riding) improve its ability to avoid crashes, or minimise their impact. It does so by detecting and, if necessary, braking to help avoid other vehicles and pedestrians across a wider range of situations.
Using an on-board camera and radar, C-HR’s pre-collision system now has the ability to detect pedestrians at night, not just during the day.
It has also been further refined to detect cyclists in daylight, though at this stage not at night.
The little Toyota an provide a warning and automatically brake the vehicle when turning at intersections to avoid oncoming vehicles, as well as pedestrians crossing the road.
Toyota’s Emergency Steering Assist function (ESA) will also help maintain stability and help prevent the vehicle swerving into another lane during an emergency steering manoeuvre.
Toyota C-HR’s lane-keeping technology has been advanced beyond the audible and visual warnings, to what is known as Lane Trace Assist (LTA). This provides gentle steering assistance that helps the driver keep the vehicle in the centre of their intended lane.
It’s also equipped with a new road-sign assist feature that indicates speed-limit changes. This can also be used to reset the vehicle’s cruise-control speed setting.
Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA) system on high-grade C-HR Koba automatically applies the brakes if it detects a collision with a stationary or moving object.
Entry-level C-HR is now designated GXL and gains the convenience of keyless smart entry and push-button ignition.
Toyota C-HR has 1.2-litre 2WD and AWD variants. A Koba-only 2WD 1.8-litre hybrid powertrain is also offered.
