The blue and green stickers on the lower right corner of the back glass imply the tested model came from the Iwate Plant located in Japan.
The Hybrid Synergy Drive badge set on the tailgate confirms the Toyota C-HR 2018 will come with a 2ZR-FXE 1.8L petrol engine which is good for 198 PS and a 1NM electric motor delivering 72 PS. The 4WD drivetrain layout will come exclusively in the Hybrid variant, being good for an impressive fuel economy of 30.2 kpl. For reference, the same hybrid engine is also seen in the Toyota Auris and Toyota Corolla Hatchback.
