Toyota C-HR Scores Five Stars For Safety — The Perfect SUV For India?

In the Adult Occupant Protection (AOP) test, the Toyota C-HR scored 33.18 out of 38 points and for the Child Occupant Protection (COP) test, the C-HR managed to score 38.03 points out of 49 points.

In the ‘Safety Assist' test, the Toyota C-HR scored well in all aspects such as seat belt reminders, lane support system, and Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB). Standard safety features on the Toyota C-HR in Australia include seven airbags, AEB, Lane Support Systems (LSS), and pre-crash systems.

Now, since the C-HR is to be launched in India either during the end of this year or the beginning of 2018, the question arises — will the C-HR score five stars for safety here as well? Some safety features aboard the Australian-spec model will not make it to India due to limitations, but we sure hope safety is a prime concern for Toyota when the C-HR is launched here.

Moving on, the Toyota C-HR is powered by a 1.2-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine that makes 114bhp and 185Nm of torque, paired to a 6-speed manual or a CVT gearbox in Europe. All-wheel drive is also offered as an option.

For India, Toyota could launch the C-HR with the same petrol engine, along with a diesel version too. Until the Toyota C-HR makes its official presence in the country, the image gallery below should help you get a better idea of the crossover.
