Toyota C-HR (2024-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Low running costs	Expensive compared with rivals
Distinctive styling	Safety systems can be overly intrusive
Good to drive	Lots of random beeps and bongs

Quick Summary

The Toyota C-HR is a five-seater compact crossover designed and built in Europe with European customers in mind. This second-generation model stands out with its concept car-like styling, including the option of a bold two-tone paint scheme. Available as either a self-charging hybrid or plug-in hybrid, it promises low running costs and Toyota's trademark excellent reliability. Whilst not the cheapest option in this ultra-competitive sector, the C-HR offers distinctive styling and impressive efficiency, with self-charging hybrid models achieving over 50mpg in mixed driving.

The C-HR strikes a decent balance between comfort and driving enjoyment, with a well-tuned suspension that handles both town driving and motorway cruising with aplomb. The 2.0-litre self-charging hybrid offers more muscular performance than the 1.8-litre version, whilst the plug-in hybrid delivers up to 41 miles of electric-only range. Interior space is adequate for four passengers in comfort, with a boot capacity ranging from 310 to 388 litres depending on powertrain. The infotainment system is responsive and logically laid out, though the active driver assist systems can be overly intrusive with frequent warnings.

Best for: Buyers seeking a stylish, efficient compact crossover with excellent reliability, those prioritising low running costs, and drivers who value distinctive design and driving comfort.

Not ideal for: Budget-conscious buyers, those seeking maximum interior space, or drivers who prefer minimal electronic intervention and warning systems.

You should buy the C-HR if: You seek a stylish, efficient compact crossover with excellent reliability, prioritise low running costs, and value distinctive design and driving comfort.

Competitive Position: The Toyota C-HR is a very good all-rounder in the compact crossover class, offering distinctive styling, impressive efficiency, and enjoyable driving dynamics.

The C-HR's bold design and refined driving experience make it highly recommendable for those willing to pay a premium for quality and efficiency, though budget-conscious buyers may find better value elsewhere in this competitive segment.
