The car we will be discussing may be the car awaited by some Toyota brand lovers in the country. Yep, Toyota C-HR did manage to make a lot of people fascinated and exasperated, how annoying? Yes because this car has existed globally since 2016, brought to Indonesia in 2017, but not yet sold in the country.
Well, it seems that neighboring Malaysia is more lucky in terms of Toyota C-HR, because they get the unit from Toyota's CUV this first when compared with us. The unit of Toyota C-HR in Malaysia itself is not a local Malaysian assembly, but imported from neighboring countries, Thailand. As we know, Thailand has become one of the producers of Toyota C-HR, and in the Land of the White Elephant Toyota C-HR is sold starting at a fairly high price, which is 368 millions rupiah. Well if in Thailand who assembles local Toyota C-HR price above 300 million, then in Malaysia will be sold how many ya?
The answer is 145,500 Malaysian Ringgit, how much is the Rupiah? about 504 million Rupiah friends. Yep, this figure would be a fantastic figure, where the closest competitors are Honda HR-V has the highest price in the number 117 000 Ringgit Malaysia alias 405 millions Rupiah. In general, the price difference of 100 millions Rupiah becomes one of the shortcomings of Toyota C-HR. Yes, but indeed the rival of Honda is assembled locally there. And other rivals namely Mazda CX-3 own priced at 134,000 Malaysian Ringgit or equivalent to 464 millions Rupiah. So what distinguishes Toyota C-HR from its rivals? How much more expensive? Maybe you would think that a hybrid engine is the cause, but it is not.
Yep, Toyota C-HR is assembled in Thailand and sold in Malaysia is not a hybrid variant, but the usual 1.800cc engined variant that powered 140 PS at 6,400 rpm and 171 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm. Toyota C-HR itself will be equipped with a 7 speed CVT transmission with sequential shiftmatic . Well, what makes Toyota C-HR expensive is its completeness, which if its rivals use the rear suspension of the torsion beam model, then this car uses a more sophisticated double wishbone suspension and more expensive thanks to the latest TNGA platform user from Toyota. In addition, this car also has 7 pieces of airbags that make it safe to drive.
Unfortunately, Toyota C-HR Malaysia is still using halogen lamps with a projector only. But other equipment is still provided such as AC Dualzone , Auto Wiper, LED DRL, front foglamp behind, and much more. Oiya , in Malaysia there is also optional to add navigation system with banderol 4.4 millions Rupiah, then dashcam with banderol 2 millions Rupiah, and luggage tray worth 900 thousands Rupiah. So what do you think? Toyota C-HR itself is scheduled to release in Indonesia this year, but CBU Japan. Come to your opinion buddy.
