The Koba model sits atop the C-HR tree in Australia, and will set you back $35,290. Which, at a glance, is a long way off the entry-level model's $26,990. But the Koba arrives with a CVT (auto) (a $2k option) and all-wheel drive (another $2k), so the extra spend is actually only $4300.
That money buys you bigger 18-inch alloys, leather-accented seats, keyless entry and push-button start, LED headlights and Toyota's nanoe system that not only removes bacterial nasties from the car, but also pumps moisture into the cabin to stop your skin and hair drying out.
Safety gear remains unchanged across the C-HR range, with a reversing camera, parking sensors and seven airbags joining AEB, blind-spot monitoring, active cruise control and a lane departure warning that will alert you if it senses you drifting, before taking over the wheel and nudging you back into your lane.
