In our opinion, the Toyota C-HR (crossover SUV), available since 2016, is currently the most spectacular vehicle from Toyota. It is based on Toyota's TNGA platform and its name "C-HR" stands for Coupé High Rider. Only with regard to the engines does the fan base want a top model above the 1.8 VVT-i with approx. 200 hp. For us it is also an absolute alternative to the Mazda CX-3 or the Honda HRV. Especially with the new H&R sport springs, it is hard to beat in terms of dynamics. The suspension specialists from the Sauerland are now ensuring that the long-legged appearance is defused and fans of sporty automotive culture get their money's worth. H&R developed sport springs for the Japanese crossover, which harmonize perfectly with standard and retrofit dampers. They allow the body to be lowered by 30 millimeters on the front axle and 40 to 45 millimeters on the rear axle.

From now on the free space of the wheels in the wheel arches is significantly less and the C-HR is also more sporty. Due to the significantly lowered center of gravity and the special H&R spring tuning, the annoying body inclination when changing direction is minimized many times over and the C-HR even mutates into a real cornering artist. Fast cornering can now be mastered safely and confidently and the Japanese car's body, crouching closer to the ground, also underlines this in visual terms. The new sport springs are available immediately and, of course, also include a parts certificate. If that's not enough for you, you can use "Trak +" wheel spacers from H&R to ensure that the standard or retrofit wheels are "free of residual air" and precisely aligned with the body edges.
