Toyota C-HR
subcompact crossover SUV produced by Toyota
The Toyota C-HR (Japanese: トヨタ C-HR, Hepburn: Toyota Shīeichiāru) is a subcompact crossover SUV manufactured and marketed by Japanese automaker Toyota since 2016. Since 2020, it is positioned between the Yaris Cross and Corolla Cross in Toyota's crossover SUV range.
The first-generation C-HR was available in many regions, including Japan, China, North America, Europe, Southeast Asia, and Australasia, and was produced in four countries. Since the release of the second-generation C-HR in 2023, availability of the C-HR has been limited to Europe and Australia, with production centralised in Turkey. The Corolla Cross, released in 2020, has largely taken over the model's positioning outside Europe.

Why this record matters
“Toyota C-HR” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Toyota, C-HR and subcompact provides the most credible route into that argument.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 30, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q24732059. None of the 2 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2016, 2020, 2023 and 2017.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
