The new Toyota C-HR Hybrid will be priced from £31,290, when it goes on sale in January.

A plug-in hybrid version of the new compact SUV will join the line up later in 2024. Prices for that model are yet to be confirmed.

The initial line-up for the C-HR features 1.8 and 2.0-litre versions of Toyota's fifth-generation hybrid system. CO2 emissions start at 105g/km for the 1.8, which develops 140PS. The 2.0 has 197PS and emits from 110g/km of CO2.

The car has a sleeker design, with flush-fit door handles and an optional bi-tone paint finish.
