Been shopping around (I’m in US, bay area), I’ve gotten one dealer to agree to 4k off MSRP for an XSE trim, others are at 2k or 1k off (haven’t haggled them, those were their initial prices). I’m wondering what others in the US have paid for the new C-HR? Any data points would be helpful!
Not the greatest video and for obvious reasons I didn’t video while driving, but what is this mechanical sounding humming? I have a bubble in my front right tire that I’m going to see if is making the noise tomorrow by putting on the spare and driving but if it’s not tire related, any guesses? I have a 2021 CHR XLE
When i drive the car this week on the way to work, twice time my car goes limp mode. One time i accelerated around 3000-4000 RPM on 114kmh speed and other time i tried to overtake a car on 60kmh speed around high rpm. I recently changed coils and plugs
don’t forget to sign up for my petition regarding the defective bearing inside the 2018-2022 C-HR models. this cause premature failure and Canada has already reimbursed their customers along with extended warranties for this known defect! perfectly good cars are dying because of this bearing that Toyota KNOWS about. if you have had this issue REPORT TO NHTSA!!!!! please also sign the petition so we can gather even more attention so Toyota can do what’s right for their customers and recall this defective part and reimburse those who have had to pay thousands!!
I own a 2019 Toyota C-HR LE with 66k miles that just started giving me transmission issues (delayed shifting and slow acceleration). I did a drain and refill (not a full replacement) thinking this would fix it but it didn’t. Now I’m thinking of trading it in or selling it and getting a different car. Kelly blue book values it at around $13,000.
What do you think I should do?
Wife sent me this video of her 2021 CHR.
I just arrived back from holiday and now nothing works at all, nothing turns on, can't even lock the car and I'm a little worried that I can't open the boot to look at the electric portion of the engine.
I just had the car serviced last month as well, is this a full dead battery? Do I just need to jumpstart it or is there something more serious happening?
TIA!

Hi all,
I bought a 2018 CHR here in Ireland, 55250kms clocked when i bought it in Jan this year.
3500km already driven, loved it so far.
But I see lot of people complaining about cvt on it, I did some research, since mine is petrol hybrid, it is supposed to e-cvt. Am I am safe here or I should be worried?
It costed me around 20K euros, so I am quite nervous if I made a right purchase.
I need help!
Toyota C-HR owners from 2018-2022 are facing a pattern of premature transmission failure - and Toyota US refuses to acknowledge it.
The K114 CVT transmission in these models has a faulty bearing that sheds metal into the fluid, destroying the transmission entirely and prematurely. A multitude of owners are having to pay upwards of 9k to replace the transmission. What's crazy about this besides the total and complete waste of money put into consistent maintenance checks and repairs? Toyota Canada already recalled this, offering a 10-year/193km warranty for the exact same issue. A rep. at Toyota claims the transmissions are "different," but these cars are all made in Turkey and Japan.
I started a petition because owners like me have done everything right. Regular maintenance, proper care, and yet I still lost my vehicle after about 20k in purchasing and maintenance. Customers are reporting this across forums and social media, yet Toyota says there are "not enough complaints" to warrant a recall. Before I found that out through another customer in a FB group, they had told ME that they weren’t even aware of the issue to begin with!! There's an active class action lawsuit (Ahdoot & Wolfson, PC) because this is clearly a known defect being ignored.
Has anyone else dealt with this on their C-HR? If this matters to you too, consider signing and sharing this petition. Toyota needs to step up and do right by their customers - especially when Toyota Canada has already fixed this problem.

Hey guys.
As of last week, I'm a proud owner of my very own C-HR, specifically the 2025 plug-in hybrid, "classy" trim, tho they differ from region to region.
I've already begun familiarising myself with the whole system and everything relevant through manuals and videos, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask you guys and get some advice from the actual people with first-hand experience.
So in that regard, I would appreciate any and all advice you can impart on me :)
Happy and relaxed week to you all!
Hello everyone.
A few days ago, I bought the new Toyota CHR 1.8 hybrid. Since this is my first car with an automatic transmission, I haven’t quite gotten the hang of it yet. My friends who own automatic cars told me that when parking or stopping at traffic lights, I should first apply the brake and then shift the gear into neutral (N). They explained that when parking, I should press the brake, shift to N, and then press the brake again to shift to P. However, I’ve read that this isn’t necessary with ECVT transmissions.
Long story short, I’d like to ask you for advice on what I should be careful about when using an ECVT.
Thanks in advance.
I have created this petition for the Toyota C-HR drivers who have fallen victim to the KNOWN, yet unaddressed, issue with the faulty bearing inside the transmission. Please read/sign/share as this can bring the necessary attention to the Toyota corporation.
Drove 90 miles to Milwaukee to pick it up. Traded in a 2016 Civic EX-T Coupe, loved the Honda but it had taken a beating in the last month, rear ended, a week later caught a rock from a dump truck and cracked the wind shield. Still got $9k on trade. Got 0% on the CHR. My work has free to use level 2 chargers. Just seemed like the right move. Super excited.
So the tension on my key is basically gone, I have to catch the key with my nail to flip it out. Dealership says $350 to replace with new key. I found a video on YouTube, https://youtu.be/K3qwG-iara0?si=uu1zBWd9q52Po\_-F, do you think this will work? I dont want to attempt it and end up breaking it...
Anyone have any other ideas?
Hello team! Big fan of Toyota here!
My next car will be CHR and I though it would be nice to get a thoughts on it, so small info about me: Love 4x4, Manual, 4 door, Gas (Petrol), Camping Offroading grilling and etc!
(Europe, DE)
got lil confused on wiki page and couldnt understood what are my options.
is 1.2 front wheel drive good for long trips?
is awd AT ALL available?
how good is for off roading?
are offroad OEM parts available or original CHR parts easy to find?
is there any off road kit?
But in general what is my best option and which version should i buy?
Thanks in advance everyone.
Toyota said there was nothing they could do….. I had to pay $14,000 for a new cvt.
Before and after
I—a woman…. Dropped the pan… cleaned it and changed filter, drained and filled 1/3 times. I will continue to do 2 more drain and fills. Then add XADO EX120 for repair and protection.
Went from UNDRIVABLE to RUNNING SMOOTHLY!
thank you u/ZimnyKefir and u/DrJohnnyBlue for the discussion about the plug I didn't know how to remove - in the end, I've trusted the beard of DrJohnnyBlue, grabbed my soldering iron, and did a bit of an invasive install after all :) the tailgate can be opened and closed from inside the car - there's an additional button installed in the empty slot on the left side of the steering wheel, and also as in the video: a regular button on the trunk, the original key fob, and an additional button installed instead of the handle. now I just need to install the kicker under the car so the gate opens hands-free, and the project will be 100% finished - but it's just cosmetics ;)
Has anyone else noticed excessive headlight bounce/shake at night on the new 2026 Subaru Uncharted or Toyota C-HR?
After driving mine the night I purchased it, I started noticing that the LED headlights visibly oscillate after bumps instead of stabilizing immediately with the vehicle. Because the projector cutoff is so sharp, it creates a very noticeable bouncing/flickering effect at night that can honestly become distracting while driving.
At first I thought maybe something was loose on my vehicle specifically, but after testing other Uncharted models and seeing similar reports from Uncharted & C-HR owners, this seems more like a platform-wide characteristic rather than an isolated issue.
You can even reproduce it while parked by tapping (simulating a bump on the road) near the front bumper/headlight area while facing a wall or garage door and watching how much the beam pattern continues to shake. Please Give this a try to see if you notice it, once you do, you can’t un-notice it.
I understand some headlight movement is normal with suspension travel, but this feels excessive for a brand new vehicle and noticeably impacts nighttime driving comfort/confidence for me.
I ended up filing an NHTSA complaint so the concern is at least documented and visible if others are experiencing the same thing as well:
NHTSA Vehicle Safety Complaint Form - https://www.nhtsa.gov
Curious how many others have noticed this and whether anyone has received additional feedback from Subaru/Toyota beyond “operating as designed.”
hey friends!! just wondering at what mileage would it be recommended to change the transmission oil in a CH-R?
I have a 2019 with 52k km and just trying to plan ahead, thanks!
