Product Overview

Toyota C-HR (chassis code AX10/AX50) is a subcompact crossover in production from 2016 to 2020, whereupon it received a facelift. It was available with a range of inline-4 engines that displaced 1.2 to 2.0 liters.
More akin to a small hatchback, the C-HR has slightly larger wheels and a marginally higher roofline, which qualify it as a crossover. It has somewhat miserably small engines, though the availability of hybrid drivetrain is a positive in this case, as it helps the owner evade some taxes that certain governments impose.
Another plus is the small 10.4m (34.1ft) turning circle.

External Reviews

autocar[1]

Reviewer score 62% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from autocar have found:
When subjected to our full road test in January 2017, it elicited a solid four-star rating from our experts. Just three variants make up the UK range, two of which are powered by a turbocharged 1.2-litre petrol. The entry-level model is front-wheel drive and has a manual gearbox, and there’s also a four-wheel-drive version with an automatic transmission.
Pros
  • Comfortable ride
  • Decent fuel economy
Cons
  • No automatic transmission
  • No hybrid option

autoexpress[2]

Reviewer score 55% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from autoexpress have found:
The latest addition to the Auto Express fleet looks great and drives well. It's comfortable on journeys, and Excel trim comes with most of the kit you'd want on a family SUV. The big central screen feels like a bit of an afterthought, but fit and finish is good and the dials are easy to read.
Pros
  • Comfortable to drive
  • Excellent infotainment system
  • Decent economy
Cons
  • Poor fuel economy
  • Lack of Android Auto
  • No stop/start

Reviewer score 73% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from carmagazine have found:
Toyota has built a regular car that's good to drive. The C-HR uses the same Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) platform. It has a slightly shorter wheelbase and a specific subframe to optimise the angles for the double-wishbone rear suspension. This also features a ball-joint connection for the lower arms in place of the Prius's conventional bushing.
Pros
  • Fun to drive
  • Impressive handling
  • Excellent infotainment system
Cons
  • Lacklustre CVT
