A three-way battle decides the fate of new cars.

Australia’s favourite car brand has just launched a stylish new compact SUV that brings fuel saving technology and plenty of luxury kit.

The paint is now water based. The amount of recycled plastic used throughout the car has doubled, reducing reliance on new petrochemical products.The hybrid battery swaps nickel metal hydride chemistry for greener lithium ion technology. Ever stricter safety requirements pushed the C-HR’s airbag count into double digits with the addition of a 10th unit placed between the driver and front passenger.The cabin has more features than before, but feels surprisingly snug for a new model. It’s decent from a driver’s perspective, but passengers are hemmed in by a deeply sculpted dashboard and upswept window line.

The combination uses 4.1L/100km to deliver 146kw of combined power – strong numbers for performance and efficiency. Low-profile tyres on the 19-inch rims of the GR Sport return a ride that can be unsettled over big bumps that ask difficult questions of its suspension.
