Toyota C-HR Lease Deals

The Toyota C-HR is a compact five-seat SUV sold only with hybrid power, in self-charging hybrid or plug-in hybrid form. This page explains who it suits, what each trim adds, and how to choose between the two powertrains before you lease.

The Toyota C-HR is a five-seat SUV built around two ideas: dramatic styling and hybrid running costs. At 4.36 metres long it's a compact car by SUV standards, and every version drives the front wheels through an automatic gearbox.

In Toyota's line-up it sits as the style-led compact SUV, and it's the one people notice - reviewers have consistently described the current C-HR as a concept car that made it to the road largely intact. It carries a 5-star Euro NCAP rating and a 3-year or 60,000-mile manufacturer warranty.

The choice is simple enough. One body style, two powertrains - Hybrid (self-charging) or Plug-in hybrid - and five trims: Icon, Design, Excel, Orange Edition and GR Sport.

About the Toyota C-HR

The C-HR is a compact hybrid SUV for drivers who want design and low fuel bills more than maximum space. It seats five, tows up to 725 kg braked, and comes with a 3-year, 60,000-mile warranty plus a matching battery warranty guaranteeing 70% of capacity.

The original C-HR arrived in 2016 and sold far beyond Toyota's expectations, which is why the current car doubles down on the look rather than softening it. Road testers regularly praise the hybrid system's efficiency, the tidy handling and the much-improved cabin, while noting that rear headroom and over-the-shoulder visibility are the price of that roofline.

Boot space runs from 310 litres in the plug-in hybrid to 447 litres in the roomiest self-charging hybrid, rising to 1,076 litres with the rear seats folded.

Why lease a Toyota C-HR?

Because the C-HR arrives well equipped whichever version you pick, and leasing lets you run it during the warranty period. Every C-HR has adaptive cruise control, keyless entry and start, built-in navigation, a digital instrument cluster, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The safety kit is standard across the range too: autonomous emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep assist, traffic sign recognition and a rear-view camera. Euro NCAP awarded five stars, with 85% for adult occupant protection and 86% for child occupants.

Practically, it's a 4.36 m car with an 11.0 m turning circle, a 43-litre fuel tank and servicing every 12 months or 10,000 miles - worth knowing if you're weighing up a maintenance package. Note the spare is a tyre repair kit, not a wheel.

Which C-HR powertrain is right for me?

There are two, and the deciding question is whether you can plug in at home. Both are automatic and front-wheel drive, so the difference is in how the battery gets charged and how much boot space you keep.

Hybrid (self-charging)

No plug, no charging, no routine to remember: the 0.85-0.91 kWh battery tops itself up as you drive. Power runs from 138 to 194 bhp depending on version, 0-62 mph takes 8.1 to 9.6 seconds, and official economy is 57.6-60.1 mpg. It also keeps the bigger boot, 430-447 litres with the seats up.

Plug-in hybrid

This one does need charging to make sense. A 2-litre engine and 13.6 kWh battery give 220 bhp and 0-62 mph in 7.4 seconds, and charging at 7 kW takes 0-100% in 2.5 hours on the best version. The trade-off is the boot: 310 litres with the seats up.

Which C-HR trim should I choose?

Five trims, and the jump most customers care about is Design, which adds the day-to-day convenience kit. Above that you're buying material quality, cameras and sound.

Icon

The starting point, on 17-inch five-double-spoke silver alloys with cloth upholstery. It brings cloud navigation, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a three-spoke synthetic leather steering wheel, a driver monitoring camera, automatic high beam, front fog lights and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror. The Icon is currently available from £314.83 a month.

Design

Design adds the things you use every day: heated front seats, a power tailgate, wireless phone charging, front and four rear parking sensors, rear cross-traffic alert, dual-zone climate control, privacy glass, fixed speed camera notification and 18-inch five-double-spoke alloys. The Design is currently available from £322.08 a month. Against the Icon, that is currently £7.25/mo more expensive.

Excel

Excel moves to 19-inch black machined-face alloys and part leather - fabric and synthetic suede - upholstery, and adds a 360-degree panoramic view monitor with dynamic guide lines on the reversing camera, a fixed panoramic glass roof, an electrically adjustable driver's seat with memory, active lane-change assist and ambient lighting. The Excel is currently available from £368.35 a month. Against the Design, that is currently £46.27/mo more expensive.

Orange Edition

A more decorative take on the Excel, with sustainable suede and synthetic leather upholstery, a JBL Premium Sound System and a head-up display on 19-inch alloys. Mostly about the look and the cabin finish rather than extra hardware. The Orange Edition is currently available from £380.02 a month. Against the Excel, that is currently £11.66/mo more expensive.

GR Sport

The sporting-looking one: 19-inch five-double-spoke black alloys and suede/synthetic leather upholstery, with automatic high beam and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, and static guide lines on the reversing camera. Styling-led rather than a different mechanical package. The GR Sport is currently available from £382.38 a month. Against the Orange Edition, that is currently £2.36/mo more expensive.

Factory packs can be added to a trim rather than replacing it: the Bi-tone Pack, the Pan Roof Pack with Toyota's Skyview panoramic roof with thermal comfort, JBL/Tech packs adding the JBL Premium Sound System and head-up display, and Safety/Premium packs adding the 360-degree panoramic view monitor with dynamic reversing guide lines. Availability varies, so check the individual deal - our guide to choosing your spec is a useful sanity check before you order.

Toyota C-HR FAQs

No. The Hybrid (self-charging) version has a 0.85-0.91 kWh battery that recharges itself as you drive and brake, so there's no cable and no plug. Only the Plug-in hybrid, with its 13.6 kWh battery, needs charging - 0-100% in 2.5 hours at 7 kW on the best version.

It depends on the version. Self-charging hybrids carry 430-447 litres with the rear seats up; the plug-in hybrid drops to 310 litres because of the larger battery. Fold the rear seats and you get 1,076 litres. If luggage space matters most, the hybrid is the sensible pick.

It works well for couples, small families and anyone carrying older children. It has five seats and a 5-star Euro NCAP rating, with 86% for child occupant protection. Reviewers do consistently flag that the sloping roof and small rear windows make the back seats feel darker and tighter than in boxier rivals.

Yes, but modestly: up to 725 kg braked and 725 kg unbraked. That's fine for a small trailer, a couple of bikes on a proper carrier or a light box trailer, and not enough for a touring caravan. Roof loads are 50-75 kg depending on version.

Toyota covers the C-HR for 3 years or 60,000 miles, with the hybrid battery covered for the same period and guaranteed to retain 70% of its capacity. Servicing is due every 12 months or 10,000 miles, which is worth checking against your annual mileage when you set the contract.

No. Every C-HR on sale here is front-wheel drive with an automatic gearbox, whether you choose the Hybrid (self-charging) or the Plug-in hybrid. It's an SUV in shape and ride height rather than an off-roader, which helps keep weight, emissions and insurance groups down.

That depends entirely on what's available at the time, and it moves as pricing is refreshed. The cheapest trim to buy isn't always the cheapest to lease, so compare the live rentals in our Toyota C-HR deals and, if you're deciding between hybrid and plug-in, our electric and hybrid guides help frame the choice. Ask our team if a version you want isn't listed.

Specifications from Toyota's UK data and Euro NCAP; equipment, packs and availability vary by version, so check the individual deal.
