THE POWERTRAIN.
The C-HR is a front-drive car. It has a 2.0-liter four-cylinder
dual-overhead cam engine and a continuously variable
transmission. The engine produces 144 hp @ 6,100 rpm and
139 lb-ft of torque at 3,900 rpm. The engine features variable
valve timing (VVT) and "Valvematic," which is on the intake
side of the engine: it provides continuously variable lift and
phasing based on engine demand.
The transmission is designated the CVTi-S, with the "i"
standing for "intelligence" and the "S" shift mode: because
of the sporty nature of the C-HR it offers a Sport mode that
adjusts the throttle and "shift" points (remember that the CVT
has belts and pulleys, not gears) and the transmission allows
manual shifting.

Koba, wanted to make sure that the
small crossover had spirited driving
characteristics, so he took it to the
Nürburgring Nordschleife and drove it.
(Yes, he's a driving enthusiast.)
