Nice to meet you from Japan! I'm also in C-HR GR. It's a very good car! But recently, a small SUV jarice cross is sold!

Loving that phrase 'while your down there'

Best car analogy of all time!

I feel they shouldn't dilute the GR brand and just keep the name as the performance only cars.

That's a curse of theirs that goes ways back. I remember when they had special versions of toyotas with their own badges from the performance brand that modifies them. They never tried to make a grocery getter overly sporty because it's a grocery getter. Today they'll put any model to undergo modifications even when its fugly. Like the Avalon and Camry. Those cars absolutely do not need to go near TRD or TOM'S

I'm a bit surprised that a car carrying a 'Sport' theme is only available with the 1.8 litre unit. We have just taken delivery of a CHR 'Design' variant here in the UK and I ordered the optional 2 litre unit.

I hope they put the Yaris GR drivetrain in this this one day 😬

Where can I find those brake calipers for my chr Gr sport?In European edition they come with different ones.

Will this be available to the USA? This is the exact car I want

Why didn't Australia get the euro spec gr chr

You guys should search chr tuned and you will see they mod to race this car. They also customize it and it looks awsome.

"... has someone bought this at a discount on Parramatta Road?" hahahahahaha!!! I can't deal!

I have the US one, we got a 144hp front wheel drive only, cheap little daily. Would love to see Toyota make it 4wd with the 2L

It's clear, it's all about the appearance, no more. For that, it`s a very beautiful crossover.

Exactly, just some additional styling bits. Same car as regular trim. Didn’t need a 13min video to explain that 👎🏽

Finally a nice wheel design from Toyota

I used to hate the look of these when they came out. After the mid life face lift they have grown on me. Shame don't get the 2L hybrid would be a better package

This or a Kona N-Line awd?

My dream car.

Come on Toyota if it wears the GR badge, then stick a GR powertrain in it.

Better looking but without a manual gear box and engine to suit it's all rather embarrassing, good reviews as always 👍

I missed the chapter function....

Love the look. Wish we could get this in the US. Perhaps the bodykit can be fitted to a US spec C-HR?

Almost certainly

It has the styling of a vehicle that should offer manual at least as an option.

The Yaris GR is the real machine. The CHR can't compare.

I own a 2021 gr sport hybrid and I noticed the stiffer ride and handling . The suspension , bigger wheels and centre bracing have changed it to a fun car. I had a 2020 limited chr hybrid and it was like a boat. Not stable . But I am puzzled too as to why this car has basic spec for the limited pricing . And I miss my parking sensors and 360 camera from my limited. This is just cost cutting Toyota .

Better question is... how is this GR yet there's a boring engine with hybrid? Why not a real GR with a 1.6 3 cyl turbo doing 300hp on an AWD drivetrain? Oh but GR only does manual... and CHR drivers can't drive manual. How condescending of Toyota!

All looks and no go. If it was all wheel drive, have a manual option, little more power, then it can live up to the GR name.

Infotainment screen looks a bit Fisher-Price.

It looks as though someone got a discount on GR badges/stickers on EBay. Also the front bumper and wheels don’t seem to suit the cars styling. Koba definitely looks better.

I want a back spoiler bad

other than the gr yaris toyota havnt really made another proper gr version of a car yet. the gr corolla might be the next one to get the proper treatment.

My sister just picked up her brand new Koba hybrid the other day:- black over white. I encouraged her to that model as it is a Toyota, and about the size and type she was after. In a couple of years I might purchase a used example to replace my 2012 Corolla sedan. Used models are presently so rare (in hybrid) that it would have costed nearly as much as a new one, if she actually found one. I'm baffled that they're aimed at the young market, yet have 'turbo' written all over them. That makes its insurance costs excessive for them.

Definitely not my cup of tea....moving on.... Thank you for enlightening me with yet another informative review.

John, I like the new hairstyle!

Better off buying a corolla or a Camry sedan or hatch can't see paying extra for most SUV's has any advantage for the vast majority of Australians .

GR Sport is to Toyota but shouldn't be confused with Yaris GR-FOUR, as R-Line is to Volkswagen but it's not a Golf R, or as N-Line is to Hyundai but it's not an 130N or a Veloster N. GR Sport is no more than a mild visual and handling upgrade over the entry level model. A GR-FOUR C-HR would be wicked though.

I don’t like the idea they us GR for anything than full on sports with more powerful engine. Don’t water the badge down.

Toyota, please give us a real GR CHR and put that 1.6L 3 cyl turbo 300hp engine in for us please. Also a really good DCT or manual or even a strong automatic transmission would suffice.

Jdm version is completely different

Toyota already watering down the GR branding.

'CHR Identity Crisis'. Seems the GR label was totally irrelevant? Weird. Personally not a big fan of the 'wedgie' looks of the modern Toyotas. Prefer the rounder styling of most competitors. Love that 'small curry hooks in the boot'. I love a curry. EDIT: So the car industry releases all these cross over SUVs with stilt tax - THEN adds lowering springs? What? I feel we are being duped somehow.
