The all-new 2018 Toyota C-HR has officially made its way to dealership lots across the country, including ours here at Magnussen’s Toyota of Palo Alto. Our team is going to compare the two available trims – XLE and XLE Premium -to give drivers a better idea of what each one offers.
Both 2018 C-HR models are set standard with an efficient 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine that pumps out 144 horsepower and gets 139 lb.-ft. of torque. Front-wheel drive is also standard, and each one is paired with a Continuously Variable Transmission with intelligence and Shift Mode for a smooth and easy driving experience. The C-HR offers drivers three modes to best suit the current driving conditions: Sport, Normal and ECO. For safety, the C-HR comes standard with a backup camera integrated into the rearview mirror. Â
