Styling
The C-HR really does live up to Toyota's promise to give it concept-car styling. While the old C-HR was chunky and handsome, this one is really quite dramatic to look at. At the front, there are huge C-shaped LED headlights which almost meet in the middle of the snub nose, above a big radiator grille. The front wheel arches are really puffed-out, and down the sides you get a combo of a complex Y-shaped crease-line and door handles that fold flush against the body (helpfully, unlike the old one, the ones in the back can now be reached by children). At the rear, it gets even more dramatic, especially if you've bought one with the optional bi-tone paint that covers everything aft of the back doors in a glossy black finish. The rear screen is so fast-angled that it's virtually flat, and the C-HR looks great in one of the stronger colours Toyota offers, such as the metallic gold 'Solar Flare.' This is most definitely not a car for shrinking violets.
Interior
The C-HR’s cabin is really well made, well laid out, and hugely comfy. And yet there’s a faint tinge of disappointment about it. The previous model had a cabin that was so nice to look at and so well made that it actually seemed more like a high-end Lexus interior. This one is good - really good, in fact - but you sense that Toyota has held back a little, especially now that Lexus is making its own small crossovers.
All but the most basic models get a pair of 12.3-inch digital screens. The one that makes up the driver’s instrument panel is especially good. You can customise the style and the layout, and it manages the neat trick of giving you lots of information, but without overloading the screen’s ‘real estate’. It’s also backed-up by an optional head-up display.
In the centre, the infotainment touchscreen is decently slick, with expensive-looking graphics and a cloud-based sat-nav that can alter course around live traffic conditions. There’s also wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Kudos to Toyota for keeping proper, physical controls - really high-quality ones, too - for the climate control, which is a two-zone system as standard.
The front seats are squashy, high-backed items and are really very comfortable, and the driving position is excellent.
Practicality
The C-HR’s cabin is pretty practical. You get slightly narrow door bins, a good under-armrest storage box, two cupholders, a wireless phone charging pad (that’s an option), and a rubberised shelf in front of the passenger seat, as well as a decent glovebox.
Sadly, things aren’t quite so great in the back. As with the old C-HR, the rear of the cabin, with its small side windows and down-sloped roof, feels very dark - even claustrophobic. And that’s a big six-footer saying that - how kids will feel back there is another story again. Actually, space isn’t too bad. There was just enough legroom and headroom for me to get comfortable, so it’s roomier than it looks.
The boot isn’t, though. At 388 litres (364 litres for the 2.0-litre version) it’s definitely on the small side, and although the shape and flat-floor are good, there’s no getting away from the fact that the likes of the Hyundai Kona and Kia Niro (and even the Ford Puma) offer way more load space than this.
Performance
The C-HR arrives, initially, with a choice of two hybrid engines that will be familiar if you’ve driven a Corolla recently. They are the 1.8-litre engine, with 140hp, or the 2.0-litre engine, with 197hp.
Surprisingly, given the disparity in power output, both engines are within a hair of each other in terms of economy, both claiming to deliver 60mpg, and both - in our hands on this test drive - living up to that claim in the real world.

I love love my C-HR ! I live in northeast Ohio and it goes through snow amazingly well, I own a cleaning company it has much more space then you’d think I hauled mop buckets caddy’s of cleaners 2 vacuums etc including a 3rd passenger in the rear. Hands down the best car I’ve bought ever !

That looks REALLY good. Way to go Toyota! And since this is the internet we just have to be negative a bit. can we talk about fake vents? It's time to take the plunge and just stop making fake vents that are completely closed with stamped grilles. Embrace the EV and give it it's own look and let the ICE days go... FANTASTIC design all around!

It costs n germany maximum at 49k Euros!!!!! For such a little Car!!!! That´s insane. C-HR GR Sport Premiere. You can look at the German Configurator the Price. That´s realy insane.

[@lknanml]

@@RobertCekus Yea.. New tech. New prices. I also think there is a bit of people will have to go electric as some cities will ban ICE cars in the 2030s. I think they are trying to get money off early adopters because at some point people will be saying EXACTLY what you stated only they don't have a choice. They will have to buy electric cars as ICE cars and gas stations and crazy regulations for all the ICE cars left make governments step in and say LOWER YOUR NEW CAR PRICES OR WE WILL.

I see a lot of improvements over current year model. Outside looks good. However, Canada and US will never get these version as in Europe or Asia. Canada and Europe always get the cheaper out versions whether it is material or functions and same with Kia, Honda etc. Kia sells better version cars in India. They brought fully digital cockpit in India a year before in Canada and the have Panaromic sunroof too. Just an example. One thing with CH-R is that it’s not practical for rear passenger, even more if they are small. You can easily see outside due to that thick pillar.

Just a couple observations - the pop up door handles will be an issue in ice/snow when you are trying to get into the car. Also, the exterior styling is futuristic but the steeply-sloping back hatch comes with greatly reduced cargo capacity. Not a fan of that.😊
