Toyota C-HR

Nathan Sawbridge, General Manager,

Toyota Leicester

"There are cars you buy because you need them, and then there are cars you buy because they make you grin every time you look back at them in the car park. This one falls firmly into the second category. Finished in Metal Stream, it has that shimmering, futuristic sheen that makes it look like it belongs in a sci-fi film�but conveniently, it's parked right here, waiting for its next driver. Step inside and you're greeted by a cabin that's more "stylish lounge" than "just another car." High seating position? Check. Clever self-charging hybrid tech? Absolutely. The kind of calm, hushed drive that makes even the Leicester ring road feel like a spa retreat? You bet. It doesn't shout about efficiency, either�it just quietly does its thing, saving fuel while you hum along to your favourite playlist. But here's the real trick: this car makes every journey feel like a little event. The school run? Suddenly cooler. A trip to the shops? More like a mini adventure. Even traffic lights become bearable, because you'll be too busy admiring the sleek dash lighting up around you. And when you're on the move, it's composed and confident, like it knows exactly what it's doing. Which, frankly, it does. It's light on its feet around town, planted on the motorway, and reassuringly capable when the weather inevitably turns British. It's also Toyota Approved, which means all the boxes for reassurance and reliability are ticked. But the real story here isn't just about reliability�it's about how this car makes you feel. Cool. Relaxed. Maybe even a little smug as you glide past the petrol station a little less often than before. In short: smart, stylish, and just cheeky enough to make driving fun again."
