Just got a black 2020 CHR. Yes it’s not very powerful, but I love it. The smoothness in how it drives and the interior makes driving around so much more comfortable. It’s very pleasant all around. And the look is unique enough where you don’t just blend in with every other car out there, but not so funky that it looks...ugly. Great car. Love it.

@Danielle Haenga it doesn’t pick up speed very quickly. The only time this is noticeable is when merging on the freeway, or when changing lanes and you need to get up to speed quickly. It’s not impossible, it can just feel a bit sluggish compared to many other cars these days. Corolla is a great car btw. Whatever you go with, you can’t go wrong. The CHR for me is just so damn smooth and comfortable to drive day in and day out.

I have a 2019 C-HR XLE and love it! It is my daily driver. It does have different driving modes: Normal, Eco & Sport but they are hidden in the menu screen. Real missed opportunity to not have a "Sport" button by the gear shift. We got the car for the great driving position and the incredible safety features. The XLE is packed with safety features found on much more expensive vehicles and it comes complete with 10 airbags! The chief engineer is actually a race car driver and the handling was fine-tuned on the Nurburgring in Germany so it handles around turns very well hence the G-monitor. You get the impression the designers wanted to do much more with this car but had to scale it back to reach those MPG numbers. Toyota does offer, right from the dealer, high-performance TRD parts for this car which I got and installed. I have the TRD Air Intake Kit for more horsepower and torque and the TRD High-Performance Lowering Springs for even better handling. I can tell you I no longer get 30 MPGs but the car accelerates much faster now especially in Sport more and this is all bundled with that legendary Toyota quality. Where I am at we have what is called "Toyota Care" so for the next 3 years I do not have to pay anything for any oil changes or other routine maintenance costs. I do have to pay to have the disc pads replaced but it is an incredible value. My family and I are definitely glad we got this car.

These are amazing tires and I don't think I will even reach the limits of what they can do but with a sale at Discount Tire they were only $20 more than what Toyota was offering me for the OEM tires so I went ahead and got them. Definitely a nice upgrade for the car. Enjoy your ride!

Fun fact: this was originally projected as another Toyota Scion model (hence the spacious approach, small engine, modern look) but when the big shots decided they would no longer manufacture scions going forward they opted on keeping the model w/in Toyota family. Also, it has 10 air bags, most vehicles we've seen as we car shopped had 6-8 air bags. Toyota Yaris has a 2021 crossover model (that seems similar) coming soon.

I just bought one of these and I have to say it’s not as of a lackluster driving experience as people are saying it’s very comfortable and the engine is responsive. It’s a four cylinder non turbo so I don’t understand why people think this is gonna be some kind of roadster. But honestly it drives extremely smooth I didn’t find the engine noise to be bad at all. Out of all of the crossover vehicles in this class this one looks the least like a budget, soccer mom mobile. It just has more of an edgy factor to it. This car definitely looks and feels way more expensive than what you’re gonna pay for it. It’s not everybody’s taste but it’s definitely unique and has a very futuristic look. If you were a fan of the scion lineup you’ll like this as well, was originally slotted to be a scion hence the strange name C-HR.

Wish I had a dollar for every time I've seen the comment "Yeah I would buy one if not for that darn CVT". Not just for the C-HR but the reviews of any car that has one. The CVT is really only bad if it's poorly built i.e. the Nissan Jatco version. If you take quality out of the equation and focus strictly on performance the CVT beats basically any other transmission out there, automatic or manual. To prove it just perform a search for "Formula One and CVT". You will find several articles that detail how a CVT was installed in a Formula One car way back in 1993 and it performed so well in testing it was actually banned from Formula One racing before it turned a single lap in competition. The Formula One governing body did this because it was TOO fast. I'm still trying to wrap my head around this one. The only real design issue they had to overcome was manufacturing a belt that could handle 850 HP, which obviously they did. One of the Road and Track articles sums it up perfectly. I am paraphrasing, but basically it states: "The real reason your performance sports car doesn't have a CVT has nothing to do with technology, but rather human nature. Car guys want their sports car to sound like a sports car. They want the revs to rise and fall, they want the engine to "audibly respond to their commands". If you want to bash the CVT for a reason like this, that's fine. Just don't trash it for anything relating to performance, because those reasons are just not valid. Who knows, maybe one day an automaker will have the guts to offer it as an option in a performance car. After all the latest Corvette doesn't even offer a manual transmission, so I guess anything is possible.

The LE and Limited get some new rims for 2020 tho. Also, the part of the front where you said should have fog lights...it does on the Limited.

This guy is not very informed about the previous model years of the C-HR. It has been around since 2016, but NOT in the US. The 2018 was the first model year in the US. Also he claimed the wheels and spoiler were new and exclusive to the 2020 model. That is false as they were on the 2019 and 2018 models. Also Apple car play was an option in 2019, but not for 2018. He also didn’t realize the USB ports in the back seat are new in 2020 (very useful). He also doesn’t mention the enormous blind spots in the back seat due to the rear A-Frames. Also doesn’t mention the adaptive cruise control which is its biggest feature. Competitors do not allow ACC to slow your car down to a complete stop, and forces the driver to take over at around 8MPH. The C-HR actually slows down to 0MPH and waits for the car ahead to continue moving. Allowing the driver to only have to steer.

I just realised even the highest trim CHR sold in North America is not as highly equipped as the ones sold over here in Europe. Not sure why...for example we get proper full Adaptive LED with projector, the rear also gets full dynamic indicators that moves like in Audi models and brake lights are also full LEDs as well. Also Europe version CHR makes 185 bhp. Apple CarPlay and Andriod Auto are also standard.

Nice statement earlier about the prop rods. Here's my idea: if the prop rod is placed largely out of the way, as in this little C-HR, it's not an automatic zonk. The prop rods placed front and center are terrible, and also the ones a little off center. Zonk them every time. But on the C-HR, it is largely out of the way. And prop rods age infinitely better. Older cars always have failing gas struts that need to be replaced, and they aren't exactly cheap in some cases. And for folks who rarely get under the hood, it really doesn't matter. I've met tons of folks who don't even know what kind of engine they have under the hood, much less the size, much, much less the bore and stroke and specific hp/torque numbers.

Add a little more power, a manual transmission and drop the blue and it would be a contender. Priced right but the CVT transmission is a major letdown.

The base model and the Limited trim both ditch the blue. I LOVE the blue in my color (white) and I think it works with most other colors... But with this orangey red and the other fire red one, that's a no.

I have the 2019 CHR, one of the many "small" details missing, there are no auto locks. Since the year 2000, you get into your car, start the engine..doors lock. Not in this futuristic hatchback. Some might say, that's no big deal..but if you're been driving for almost 19yrs WITH that feature it is a problem. Another issue, I had to replace my windshield because of a crack I was gifted with on the highway. Anyway, insurance paid for the windshield, HOWEVER since there are 12028382 cameras on the car the windshield needs to be calibrated and of course, ONLY the dealership can do that. #Can'twin

Love this vehicle. However XLE is the middle trim. if you had a Limited you would have gotten some of the features you were looking for like integrated fog lights and blacked out headlights. Also the blue interior is amazing on the right color exterior. idk why someone would put the blue in the orange. Glad to see you talking positive about the CHR tho. No one in NY wants one cause they're FWD. I have like 1 on my lot!!! 🤣🤣 Keep up the vids!!!!

I keep seeing a lot of people diss this car haha so it’s confusing me on my choice. I want to buy this and I’m 18 still in high school. We found it near us for 22k for the xle trim. I really liked the car and thought it felt smooth. I know it may be slow but I’m not particularly trying to race anyone 🤣 it just has to make it through college. I don’t know if I should choose the Nissan kicks instead, I drove it and it was nice but I feel there were a lot of features I wouldn’t use and didn’t fancy the orange stitching. Blue is my favorite color haha

The CH-R is a really cool looking car! I agree for sure when you say everything should be colour coded. What would really set the tone would be a panoramic sunroof with the 2 tone look and a bigger displacement engine. Maybe a 2.5L with AWD. Other than that I’m really digging the looks
