Is the Toyota C-HR a good car?
The Toyota C-HR is a vehicle that aims to redefine the crossover segment not only via emotional considerations of its target market but through the dynamics of the vehicle.

Is the Toyota C-HR a good first car?

Is the Toyota C-HR a good family car?
Yes, the Toyota C-HR makes for a good family car due to the fact that it is a crossover.

What’s it like to drive?
Reviewer's opinion
Out on the road, the C-HR does have quite a bit of road noise penetrating the cabin while those 18-inch alloy wheels do not help the ride quality, which is relatively firm for a product of this nature. The plus side is that it feels far more dynamically capable than other products in this segment, and if it did not have a CVT and a small capacity engine, the C-HR would be a riot to drive.

What does it look like?
Exterior
Interior
What is the Toyota C-HR like inside?
The Toyota C-HR aims for a more minimal design, with gentle, flowing curves across the interior incorporating gloss trims pieces. The centre console with infotainment and aircon controls is angled more towards the driver. The dash also has a long gloss trim piece that breaks apart the upper and lower parts of the dash.
Style
The Toyota C-HR aims for a more coupe-styled crossover with a large front, and a low roofline with a slope off towards the rear. The rear door handles are cleverly hidden within the rear door space to smooth out the rear part of the vehicle. The front and rear comprise sharp angles in the front and rear fascias along with mostly large curves to show off the coupe-like lines.
