Price range
P75 → P25 of asking — the middle half of listings at that age sits inside this band. Outliers above and below excluded.
Down payment
MAS Notice 642 LTV cap applied to the age's median asking: 30% when OMV is up to S$20k, 40% above. Max loan tenure 7 years. Rows marked * mix both OMV buckets — we display the conservative 40% figure so the quote never under-states what a luxury-OMV listing at that age would actually require.
Availability
High when this age's listing share is ≥1.5× the model's uniform expectation, low when ≤0.6×, medium otherwise. Model-relative, so an evenly-spread model lands all-medium.

Brand reliability
Consumer-survey composite — JD Power · WhatCar · Consumer Reports. Same score for every variant of a given make.
Resale strength
100 − 3× annualised tangible-decay (COE-stripped). Fitted from each variant's asking-price-by-age regression then averaged at model level.
Peer set
Every same-segment model with ≥5 active PARF listings whose variants fit a depreciation curve. Practicality isn't plotted — it's a body-shape constant within the segment, so it would be the same for every dot.
Quadrants
The crosshair marks the segment median on each axis. Top-right (Safe Bets) is strong on both; top-left (Hidden Gems) holds value above what the brand reputation suggests; bottom-right (Bargain Buys) is well-built but depreciates fast — buy cheap; bottom-left (High Risk) is soft on both.

Verdict

Sharp-styled subcompact crossover — 2.0L 2ZR-FXE hybrid (THS-II) is the boring-durable choice that sidesteps the gen's headline CVT failure pattern (hybrid uses e-CVT, no traditional CVT). 1.2L 8NR-FTS turbo + Super CVT-i is the problematic pairing: 2018-2020 builds have many reports of early CVT failure (humming / whining / grinding past 80k km, sometimes earlier). 2018 is the least-reliable model year; 2020-2022 cars improved materially. Windshield is glass-thin and cracks easily.

What's good

  • Hybrid 2ZR-FXE (e-CVT, no traditional CVT) — sidesteps the headline 1.2T CVT-failure story entirely; the THS-II hybrid is the matured benchmark for Toyota hybrid durability. The highest-confidence C-HR pick.
  • Post-2020 1.2T with documented Super CVT-i fluid service at 60-70k km — late-gen software + transmission tuning addressed the worst of the 2018-2019 CVT failure cluster. With fluid receipts, the post-2020 1.2T is a viable second choice.

What to watch

  • 2018-2019 1.2T C-HR with CVT whine / humming / grinding at viewing — densest reported failure cluster on the gen. Failures under 80k miles documented; replacement S$5-9k. Walk unless heavily discounted with a quote.
  • Dead 12V battery story or recent jump-start that triggered warning lights — the C-HR has a documented post-jump-start cascade (warning messages, reduced-power mode, AC off). Verify all systems work normally before purchase; a difficult jump-start history is a tell of deeper electrical wear.

Common questions about the Toyota C Hr

How much does a used Toyota C Hr cost in Singapore?
Most used Toyota C Hr on the market are around 9 years old, asking roughly S$27k–S$40k (typically about S$30k). That's the age with the widest choice — and the most sellers competing, so it's where you'll have the most room to bargain.
Is the Toyota C Hr reliable?
In our read, the Toyota C Hr scores 90 out of 100 on brand reliability. That still varies by generation and how the individual car was looked after, so always check the service history before you commit.
What should I expect to pay for a used Toyota C Hr with a given mileage?
It depends on the exact variant, age and mileage — a higher-mileage car should ask less. Use the price modeller on this page to get a fair-price range for a specific age and mileage, so you know what to offer.
Where do these Toyota C Hr figures come from?
They're worked out from current used-Toyota C Hr listings in Singapore — asking prices, mileage and registration years — not past transaction prices. We refresh them regularly, and we flag thin data rather than guess.
