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 upwards of 50mpg in mixed driving.

The C-HR strikes a decent balance between being entertaining on twisty roads and offering a comfortable ride around town. The 1.8-litre self-charging hybrid produces 138bhp with a 0-62mph time of 10.2 seconds, whilst the more muscular 2.0-litre version delivers 193bhp and 8.1 seconds. The plug-in hybrid pairs a 2.0-litre petrol engine with a 13.6kWh battery for up to 41 miles of electric-only range and 220bhp. Boot capacity ranges from 310 litres (plug-in hybrid) to 388 litres (1.8-litre self-charging hybrid). Rear passengers enjoy decent legroom, and the panoramic roof on higher-spec models doesn't compromise headroom. However, the active driver assist systems can be overly intrusive, and insurance groups sit fairly high at 20 and above.

Best for: Buyers seeking a stylish, efficient compact crossover with excellent reliability, low running costs, and a comfortable driving experience, particularly those willing to pay a premium for distinctive design and hybrid technology.

Not ideal for: Budget-conscious buyers seeking the cheapest option in the class, those who find active safety systems annoying, or drivers prioritising maximum boot space and versatility.

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