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 entertaining handling and a comfortable ride, with meaningful steering weight and consistent brake feel. Interior space is adequate for four people to travel in comfort, with decent legroom and a boot capacity ranging from 310 to 388 litres depending on powertrain. The infotainment system is responsive with logically laid-out menus, and all models come with Toyota's Safety Sense active safety kit. However, the active driver assist systems can be overly intrusive, and the CVT automatic gearbox produces noticeable drone under hard acceleration, particularly in the 1.8-litre version.

Best for: Buyers seeking a stylish, efficient compact crossover with Toyota's renowned reliability, those prioritising low running costs, and drivers who appreciate distinctive design and good all-round driving dynamics.

Not ideal for: Budget-conscious buyers seeking the cheapest option in the class, those who find active safety systems annoying, or drivers who prefer traditional automatic gearboxes without CVT characteristics.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the C-HR if: You seek a stylish, efficient compact crossover with Toyota's renowned reliability, prioritise low running costs, and appreciate distinctive design and good all-round driving dynamics.

Consider alternatives if: You are budget-conscious and seeking the cheapest option in the class, find active safety systems annoying, or prefer traditional automatic gearboxes without CVT characteristics.

Competitive Position: The Toyota C-HR is a very good all-rounder in the compact crossover segment, offering bold styling, impressive efficiency, and Toyota's enviable reputation for reliability. Whilst it is more expensive than some rivals like the Seat Ateca and Volkswagen T-Roc, it delivers a compelling package with low running costs and enjoyable driving dynamics. The Nissan Qashqai and Volkswagen T-Roc offer better value propositions, but the C-HR's distinctive design and hybrid-only powertrain make it an excellent choice for those willing to pay a premium for efficiency and reliability.
