The system also features the e-call functionality for immediate emergency support.

Updates are performed using an internet connection via a smartphone or the on board internet module.

Recognising the importance that the Toyota C-HR target customer attaches to the quality of the in-car entertainment system, Toyota’s new crossover may be equipped with a tailor-made, JBL Premium Audio system.
Providing the ultimate in C-segment crossover sound reproduction, the system comprises an 8-channel, 800-Watt stereo amplifier and nine speakers. This new generation JBL amplifier, capable of more precise tuning, realizes even clearer, more powerful sound. Additionally, in order to improve the sound quality of compressed music source that ordinary people listen today, it supports Clari-Fi music restoration technology, which restores any compressed music up to almost CD quality.
Because the rigidity of the body structure surrounding each speaker – as well as various elements such as the windows and upholstery – can have a significant impact on sound quality, the system is the result of particularly close collaboration between JBL and Toyota’s engineers form early in the design process.
In-depth customer analysis was taken into account during system design, and resulted in the orientation of the speaker layout and the use of precisely integrated, A pillar-mounted horn tweeters – a JBL system signature – to deliver crisp, clear sound.
In addition to the two 25 mm horn tweeters, the system further features two 80 mm wide-dispersion units, two 17 cm sub-woofers in the front, two 15 cm full-range speakers in the rear, and a 19 cm sub-woofer in a dedicated, 10 litre ported enclosure in the loadspace.
Available in combination with the navigation option, the JBL Premium Audio system also incorporates lossless audio encoding.
The partnership between Toyota and JBL began in 1996 and has successfully expanded since then. Trusted by music professionals, JBL audio systems are used in major concert halls, venues and stadia throughout the world – 80% of live concerts, 70% of all recording studios and 90% of all THX-certified movie theatres.
Quality is the common focus of both companies, which has resulted in the new, uncompromised premium audio system specifically tailored to the new Toyota C-HR.
