Toyota C-HR hybrid driving experience in Spain

This section breaks down the UK range and performance figures for the new Toyota C HR, covering 1.8 and 2.0 hybrid options and the forthcoming plug in hybrid. The presenter explains power outputs, 0–62 mph times and top speeds before focusing on how the 2.0 litre hybrid feels on real roads. In normal mode the SUV alternates smoothly between EV running and petrol power thanks to Toyota’s fifth generation hybrid system, delivering quiet, efficient progress without range anxiety. Switching into sport mode on twisty Spanish roads, he explores the revvy character of the eCVT transmission, why the engine sounds the way it does, and how the Atkinson cycle and electric motor work together. Updated dampers, lighter battery placement and chassis tuning are discussed while he evaluates steering weight, body control, braking feel and overall fun through fast corners.

These 11 cars could shoot up in value in 2026, according to Hagerty’s number-crunchers

Think of it as the stock market’s “buy low, enjoy high” list, but for people who prefer tachometers over tickers. For 2026, Hagerty’s Bull Market List leans heavily into ’90s and ’00s machines—the final chapter of the analog era, when modern speed still paired with manual transmissions and minimal electronic interference. But a few older icons made the cut, too, proving there are still smart buys in every decade. Here’s what the data says are the 11 appreciation-ready enthusiast cars to watch.
