Verified8 reviews
Unhappy and regret with my purchase – One of biggest decisions to spend money brand new car bought from preston toyota wanted hybrid I received koba . First service after 1 months from same dealer which ruined my experience for second time as I picked up my car after first service on my drive back home I realised my new car was like an old vehicle with no horn no high beem light and… Read more
steering wheel wasn’t even soft to control and had suspension noise on turns so I straight away called back and booked for three weeks later to fix well I nearly had the experience of die as i was driving from work and was raining so no hurn and no high beem to warn the driver of opposite direction who was lost control and lucky i turned left to the side and he just passed me so I tried to call toyota as i was over charged and my brand new car was ruined and asked to get refuse or replacement as i didn’t expect to get refuse by no investigation or any kind of support instead they asked to get back same dealer and get my car fix . So imagine to go back and have no trust anymore to the mechanic service well they said they fixed the issue which made by unknowlagable service team but the real was not fixed which they ruined other part as heater and sensors and I stopped trusting toyota completely failed in my future car and I driving it with paying twice a week for fuel as suv car take 48 l fuel which they not mentioned anywhere it’s . And now they recalled this model to checkout on fuel which has pressure on engine. Toyota you really failed by not reviewing you dealer service to make sure they are knowledgeable and qualified you playing with peoples life as I nearly could die plus after i worned on my email about what happened you just ignored it and didn’t even support me. I just trying to get rid of this chr to remove my whole experience of toyota and i will tell everyone to stop wasting money on this car as you don’t have anyone in head office to care about your safety by driving toyota vehicles .
Fun Hybrid to drive – Had this car for a bit over a year. We do a lot of long trips so the hybrid is great for fuel efficiency. Comfy and handles good too. Toyota servicing is top notch. Show details
Mixed, somewhat disappointed – This is my 3rd Toyota and what I'm about to say will not prevent me from shopping for another one but I will know to check certain things that were never before an issue. Pro's Very comfortable for driving long distances Good mileage Love the updated technology as it had been 11 years since my last Toyota purchase. (They sure do last!) Rear-view… Read more
mirror retract when locking the car Love the back door handles being flush with the door Love being a bit higher up off the road Very smooth steering wheel
Con's No sunglasses holder
No lock button on the rear hatch door. (Loved this feature on the Prius and hate not having it now.)
Cheaply designed cables for holding up the boot cover. One broke immediately
The console has some very annoying features, e.g., turning it off requires 3 steps and that's dangerous.
The 2009 Prius made it possible to touch any of the console buttons to turn off the console.
All of a sudden, after 7 months of using the Navigation system, Favourites appears in the bottom right corner of the map and doesn't disappear. REALLY ANNOYING and blocks the map view. The only way to get rid of it is another 3 steps or so of pressing options.
Also, out of nowhere, I can no longer see information on the smaller screen above the steering wheel that showed the estimated km per tank of petrol. Where did it go?
No heat/air con in the back of the car.
Not enough cup holders up front.
The usb port is very hard to find in the dark
Glove box release button is in a bizarre place
Weather shields are pretty narrow and cheaply affixed. One already came away from the frame and needs to be replaced.
Hard to clean the top of the rear windscreen because of the design of the lip that comes over it.
Mixed review for this one. It's the first time Toyota seems to have gone a bit cheap on the build.
Not perfect but has unbeatable Toyota reliability – Bought this vehicle in Feb 21 to replace an ageing Kia Sportage diesel. We wanted a Hybrid vehicle and Toyota ticked all the boxes. Range anxiety was something to be avoided and Toyota have been making Hybrid vehicles since 1997 so they should have it right by now. The compact size and out there styling of the CH-R caught our eye. The ride and… Read more
safety features are excellent. The 1.8litre petrol engine struggles at times but driven sedately it performs well. Fuel economy is around 4.5litres/100k and on 91ron fuel. Fixed price servicing of $200/15000k for 5 years and a 10 year battery factory warranty is reassuring. Our 1.93cm grandson fits comfortably in the rear. The rear windows are a little on the small side and obstruct rear vision a little but after using the touchscreen for parking etc. it becomes a no brainer. A great affordable and reliable vehicle which should hold it's resale value.
I love my little car! – We recently arrived in Australia and we bought my Toyota C-HR 2WD Koba 1.8L Hybrid brand new in February 2021. I use the car daily, mainly for dropping the kids off at school and picking them up, some business meetings, shopping and attending sports activities. The car has had its first service and the next one is due next January 2022. What I… Read more
love about this car is that it's perfect for driving in the city. It's petrol use is super efficient and a tank can easily last for 6 weeks if I just drive around school and close to home. I chose it in red, because the yellow option was a bit too 'in-your-face', while the red is still snazzy and funky. I've always wanted an electric car, as I'm environmentally conscious. Although this is not an electric car, but a hybrid, it still emits less toxic gasses and is much better for the environment. What I also use daily, is the speed control, cameras, side mirror alarms - it can even help you keep to your lane if you go over the solid line! So many added features that I didn't even expect it to have.
However, if you are someone feeling the need for speed, this car might not be for you. Pull away is not that fast, although once gaining momentum eg. on the highway, you can cruise comfortably around 120km per hour (and more if you're willing to risk it, which you shouldn't). One other thing to consider is a limited view through the back rear side window which is quite small, but a minor consideration in the bigger scheme of things.
Overall a great car and I often look at it thinking how much I love it!
Almost perfect with one unforeseen issue – I got my Koba hybrid in October. I got the yellow and black two-tone. I fell in love with it and it's my first absolutely new car. Never lose it in a car park as it stands out. Drives beautifully. This version has all the mod cons you expect and leather seats. Plenty of room for my needs. There is only ever me and maybe one other person in it, so… Read more
lack of window area in the back is not a problem that some mention in youtube car reviews. Great mileage - I get between 4.9-5.2/100km in driving around the burbs with some freeway on most trips. (Previous 2014 Corolla got 7.4km/100km.) With rear seats folded it has plenty of room for all kinds of little adventures. The one issue is that shortly after buying it I bought a light camper-trailer without realising the hybrid has 0 towing capacity. So now I have to either sell the car or buy a cheap car just for towing my very light camper trailer. :(. I mention this in case others might assume something that comes under SUV badging would be able to tow something - I know I did.
Perfect car to drive – i love Chr hybrid good on fuel fill up every three weeks had it 5 months now excellent safety features easy to keep clean Toyota service excellent very helpful ? Would recommend to buy a Toyota then any other car great to drive Show details
Great car that I’m happy with – Had my Koba Hybrid for a week already. My previous car, a Mazda SP23 2004 model was a 55 litre fuel tank and got me around 530km to the tank. My new Koba is a 43 litre tank and so far I’ve gotten 430km on half a tank. Fuel economy is great. Love the look of this vehicle as well, and the inbuilt technology is fantastically. 4 star rating only because the engine is a bit grumbly when running I thought. Show details
