Real-world fuel consumption

17,209 Toyota C-HR cars registered in Europe between 2021 and 2024 report their fuel use through the on-board meter. Petrol hybrid versions average 5.4 l/100 km on the road, against 5.0 l/100 km in the official WLTP test — 8% more. Plug-in hybrids use 3.7 l/100 km against 0.8 l/100 km on paper, with 37% of their distance covered with the engine off.

Litres per 100 km: total fuel used divided by total distance driven, from the car's own fuel consumption meter (OBFCM), collected in 2024 by the manufacturers, mostly remotely, and by national authorities.

What it costs in fuel

On real-world figures the Toyota C-HR uses 5.4 litres per 100 km, so 15,000 km a year takes about 800 litres: €1,792 at this week's average price in France, its largest market in Europe.
