Like the exterior, the interior has been designed to stand out from the competition. The C-HR is a strict 5-seater with a 370L boot capacity, which can be increased by folding down the 60:40 split seats. In other markets, the C-HR is equipped with an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, 9-speaker JBL premium sound system, 4.2-inch multi-information display, ambient lighting and dual-zone automatic climate control.

The model showcased packs a hybrid powertrain, which combines a 2ZR-FXE 1.8L petrol engine that outputs 98 PS and 142 Nm of torque with the 1NM electric motor capable of generating 72 PS and 163 Nm of torque. It sends power to the front wheels via a CVT (continuously variable transmission), with no option of an AWD system.
