I-OEM enombono ongcono kakhulu wokubona kusengaphambili isikwenzile futhi - yethula imodeli eyasayinwa eminyakeni edlule emakethe eyayisivivi kuma-EVs kodwa ihlanyiswa ama-HEV nama-PHEV SUV.
Lesi sizukulwane esisha i-Coupé-High Rider ngokuqinisekile siyinto engenakuphikiswa. Le engiyiboleke iToyota GB bekungeyona eyanoma ubani ongathandi ukunakwa. Upende wayo ocwebezelayo omnyama kanye nethusi wawunabantu abaningi abawuhlolayo.
Okubuhlungu nje wukuthi le lebuli yeSUV elingana neGolf iC-HR kunzima ukuyithola, incane futhi inombala ofana nowamalambu angemuva abomvu. Njengegama elithi Toyota elihlala kwesokunxele, ngaphezu kophawu lomkhiqizo.
Usayizi ofanayo njengesizukulwane sokuqala
Lezi zinhlobo ezintsha kweziningi zenkampani ezizokwethulwa e-UK zibukeka zizincane kunalokhu eziyikho, ubude bucishe bube ngamamitha angu-4.4. Ngicabanga ukuthi lokho kungenxa yokuthi umbala oqinile womphumela wamathoni amabili uphela kanjani ezicabheni ezingemuva, nomuzwa othokomele noma we-claustrophobic ezihlalweni ezingemuva kuya ngokuthi umude kangakanani.
Lena ngokungangabazeki i-coupé-SUV, hhayi eyodwa esebenza kakhulu ekusetshenzisweni okuphezulu. Ngakho izethameli eziqondiwe ziyazi ukuthi yini eziyitholayo futhi ukubukeka kwangaphandle ngokusobala kuyingxenye enkulu yesikhalazo se-C-HR.
U-Bland uphumile, ubuhle bungaphakathi
Yimoto ebukekayo lena futhi esesiyijwayele manje kwaToyota. Ngikholelwa ukuthi i-Mirai icishe iphelele, i-Prius yinhle futhi i-Corolla ingumdayisi omkhulu emhlabeni wonke ngenxa yokubukeka kwayo ngandlela thile.
Udumo lonke luya ku-Akio Toyoda ngokwenza inkampani eyasinika i-2000GT cishe eminyakeni engamashumi ayisithupha edlule - kodwa yakhohlwa noma kancane indlela yokwenza imizimba emihle - khumbula ukuthi yake yaphumelela ngani. Manje awekho nhlobo amadizayini angasho lutho noma akhohlweka kuqoqo lomhlaba wonke lomkhiqizo: uguquko olumangalisayo.
Njengenkampani yezimoto enkulu kunazo zonke emhlabeni kalula, ubulili buthengiswa ngokucacile futhi. Isifunda esisodwa iToyota ebingasoze yaqhekeka kwaba yi-Europe kodwa leso sikhathi manje sibonakala kudala.
Ibambe i-VW eYurophu yonke
Idatha ye-ACEA yangoFebhuwari isazokhishwa, noma siyazi ukuthi uhlobo lwenze kanjani kwezinye zalezo zimakethe ezingama-31. Ngamafuphi, izimbangi kufanele ziqhubeke nokushaqeka ngenqubekelaphambili engapheli yesiqhwaga saseJapan.
NgoJanuwari, igebe kuVolkswagen lavaleka kakhulu, amanani abo okuthengisa e-EU-EFTA-UK angu-95,498 (ehle ngo-5.2% uma kuqhathaniswa noJan 2023) kanye nama-78,314 (akhuphuke ngo-8.0%). I-BMW (60,781), Škoda (59,000) kanye nendawo yesihlanu iPeugeot (57,447) zonke zazisele emuva kakhulu.
KwaToyota baba nenhlanhla, kangangoba abantu bejwayele ukukhumbula leli gama uma becabanga ngento exubile ebizwa nge-'self-charging'. Ngisho nalelo gama lisalokhu lixhumene neToyota Motor Europe kunoHonda nanoma yiluphi olunye uhlobo lwezimoto eziwuchungechunge ezidayisayo. Konke lokhu kusiholela kuMashi 2024 kanye nokuthuthuka okuhamba kancane, okuthulekile kwamamodeli we-TME kuso sonke isifunda.
Ingabe iTurkey iseYurophu? Yebo, kusho i-TME
I-C-HR entsha ingeniswa eTurkey, isakhiwo esiqale embonini ye-TMMT's Sakarya ngoNovemba 2023. I-Europe ithola ama-hybrids angu-1.8 & 2.0-litre kanye nokutholakala kwe-AWD yakamuva ne-2.0-litre PHEV ezayo maduze.
I-Toyota Motor Manufacturing Turkey ayigcini nje ngokukhiqiza amabhethri alezi zinhlobo kuphela kodwa iSakarya iyisikhungo sokuqala esipheshweni se-TME ukwenza imoto eyi-plug-in hybrid. I-TMMT ikhiqiza i-Corolla saloon nayo, kuyilapho ulayini webhethri omusha unomthamo wokuqala wonyaka wamaphakethe angu-75,000 ezimotweni ezifakwe ugesi.
Ukukhula kwezimakethe zaseBrithani zama-HEV nama-PHEV
Ukubhaliswa kwe-UK ngoFebhuwari kukhombisa ukugxuma okuqinile kwama-EV ngemuva kokuwa okuqale ngoDisemba futhi kwaqhubeka ngoJanuwari. Futhi nakuba i-TGB inamamodeli anjalo ambalwa okumele adayiswe kuneVolkswagen Group, iHyundai-Kia noma iStellantis, abathengi baseBrithani basawathanda kakhulu ama-PHEV (akhuphuke ngo-29% YoY ngo-Feb) kanye nama-HEV (+12%). Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi bekungama-oda amakhulu emikhumbi akhuphule ukubhaliswa kwabaphezulu kakhulu ngoFebhuwari emashumini amabili eminyaka kuyilapho ukuthengwa kwangasese kwehle ngamaphesenti amathathu.
Okuningi kwalokhu kuwusizo kakhulu kwaToyota, othe i-PHEV powertrain izokwengezwa ku-C-HR ngokuhamba kwesikhathi ngo-2024. Okwamanje, yi-HEV (esevele) yenza ibhizinisi elisheshayo. Kungase futhi kubuke kuqala lokho okungaba unyaka we-blockbuster kumodeli.
Isitayela esihlakaniphile
Njengabanye abahloli bamaphephandaba, imoto engisanda kuyishayela isonto lonke ibijikajika. Njengoba kushiwo ngenhla, uhlelo lombala lwaluhlobene kakhulu nalokho. Kunjalo futhi yonke leyo migqa eyeqisayo ezansi ohlangothini ngalunye, ukukhanya okushelelayo ngemuva nangaphambili, isikrini somoya esinama-engeli aphakeme kanye nomugqa okhalo ophakeme.
Isitayela esisezingeni eliphezulu siyaqhubeka ngaphakathi kwe-C-HR, nesiteringi esinamarimu amancane, indwangu yohlobo lwe-Alcantara futhi (ikakhulukazi, kodwa hhayi ingxenye engezansi yamakhadi ezicabha) amapulasitiki athintwayo ahlangene ukuze alethe lowo mbono.
Kuhle futhi ukubona izinkinobho zangempela eziningi ezihlobisa izingxenye ezingaphezulu zedeshibhodi. Ngakho-ke lena ngeke kube enye yezimoto okuzodingeka ukuthi zilungiswe kabusha ngo-January 2026: I-Euro NCAP isanda kumemezela ukuthi kufanele kube khona ukulawula okuthile ukuze imoto ithole izinga eliphezulu lokuphepha. Isibonelo, iVolvo kumele izisola ngayo ngokuthi yakhetha ukwenzani nge-EX30. Ingabe ukususa i-wiper/washer stalk, izilawuli zokukhanyisa kanye neknobho lokunyakazisa isibuko bekuwumzamo wokulondoloza ama-krona ambalwa ngemoto ngayinye? Uma kunjalo, lokhu kuzobonakala kubiza kakhulu.
Kungani i-TMC iqhubeka nokuwina emhlabeni wonke
Sekuyisikhathi eside iToyota ihlakaniphe kunawo wonke ama-OEM. Ukuthatheka ngokunakekelwa kwamakhasimende emhlabeni wonke, ukuphatha abahlinzeki njengozakwethu kuyilapho ulindele ukuthi baklame futhi balethe izingxenye ezingenaphutha kuyaqhubeka nokukhokha izabelo. Ngokwezwi nezwi. Futhi, sibheke phambili ngenkathi sicabanga ngabo bonke ubuchwepheshe obusha futhi singalokothi singene koyedwa.
Cabangela indlela yokufakwa kukagesi: le nkampani izobe ibukele okufana noklebe ukuze ibone ukuthi i-plug-in-EV-with-a-fuel-cell yakwa-Honda yenza kanjani e-California nase-Japan, okuwukuphela kwezimakethe eziqinisekiswe imodeli kuze kube manje.
Emuva e-Europe, i-C-HR entsha ingxenye enkulu yesizathu - kanye ne-Yaris, i-Yaris Cross kanye ne-Corolla - kungani i-Toyota ihlezi kuleyo nombolo yesibili yesifunda. Ukuthi iyazuza ku-VW ikhuluma kakhulu ngokuthi izimakethe zingashintsha ngokushesha kangakanani. Akuyona indaba ye-HEV uma iqhathaniswa ne-EV; kunalokho imayelana nokuba nezimoto ezisebenza ngokugqama njengoba zibukeka. Izimbangi eziningi ze-marque yaseJapane zinomsebenzi okufanele zenze kule ndawo.
Uhlala ku-C-HR futhi yonke into ilungile lapho ongathanda ukuthi ibe khona. Imigqomo yezicabha ngeke ithathe ibhodlela elingu-1.5-litre, kodwa kunesikhala esikhulu sokugcina noma yini enye, kuyilapho i-glovebox ne-central cubby inkulu. Isikrini esithintwayo esiyisibopho sihlala sikhona ngokwemvelo phakathi nedeshibhodi, nokho lesi asilayishiwe kakhulu noma asisikhulu ngokweqile.
Amaphutha ambalwa
Ezingeni lokunquma imoto ecindezelayo, amehlo omshayeli aqashwe ngeso lokhozi. Ezikhathini ezimbalwa kube nokumangalelwa okungamanga (ngomlayezo onamagama anolaka nawo ongawuthandi) wokubheka eceleni.
Uma ngabe uhlelo lokugada lubika ububanzi bezinsika zalo C kwaToyota ngaso sonke isikhathi lapho ngizama ukuphuma emgwaqweni wami ngingene ku-A-road engiwujwayele. Cishe ziyingozi, futhi akuvamile ukuba ngicabange kanjalo nganoma iyiphi imoto ekule ndawo. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ngalibhekisa kuphi ikhanda lami, umbono wawuvinjiwe. Kwaba cishe indaba yabasheshayo noma yabafileyo. Hhayi-ke, mhlawumbe ukungqubuzana. Enye inkinga yinani elincane lengilazi emafasiteleni angemuva. Kuwumumo omuhle kodwa ngokuqinisekile ukusebenza kufanele kuze kuqala?
Ukusheshisa ukuphuma kumaki kuhle, i-CO2 ngokulinganayo (kuzoba ngcono nakakhulu ku-PHEV ezayo) futhi ngabona i-54.6 mpg ehlaba umxhwele. Izinhlelo zeToyota hybrid sezihambe indlela ende, inkampani ngempela ifaka umsebenzi phakathi namashumi eminyaka ukuze isungule kabusha futhi iqhubeke icija lezi zitimela ezinamandla.
Isiphetho
Ngingayincoma i-C-HR? Ngempela ngingathanda, nakuba isikhala sesihlalo sangemuva semilenze singaba ukuthinta kangcono. Izingane ezisezihlalweni ezinikeza amandla kungenzeka zibekwe emuva lapho ngakho-ke mhlawumbe akuyona inkinga kubathengi abafunwa yi-TME ne-TGB. Ukuhlanganiswa kwesitayela, isikhala, ukunethezeka kanye nokulula kuyaphoqa.
IToyota C-HR HEV inenani elisuka ku-GBP31,290 (104 kW/140 PS 1.8-litre Icon), amanani akhuphuka afinyelela ku-GBP42,720 ehlonzwe njenge-147 kW/197 PS 2.0-litre Premiere Edition. Zonke zidonsa ngamasondo angaphambili ne-CO2 emissions ephakathi kuka-105 no-110 g/km.
