Pros

Sporty handling makes it fun to zip around turns
Comes standard with plenty of features, including safety tech
Swoopy styling helps it stand out

Cons

Unlike most rivals, it doesn't offer all-wheel drive
Even in this slow class, acceleration is lethargic
Pervasive road and engine noise in the cabin
Minimal cargo space, even for its small segment

What's new

Base LE trim level is discontinued
Part of the first C-HR generation introduced for 2018

Overview

The Toyota C-HR is a subcompact crossover, or extra-small SUV, designed to combine the driving experience of a sedan with the raised seating position of an SUV. It has a coupe-like sloping roofline to accentuate its eye-catching looks, and it's available in three trims: the LE, XLE and Limited. There are several vehicles in this style that do a good job of providing easy access with good fuel economy at an affordable price. Unfortunately, the C-HR is not one of our favorites.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2022 Toyota C-HR XLE 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl CVT) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.93 per gallon for premium unleaded in Virginia.}

Toyota first offered the C-HR in 2018. New styling and standard features were added for the 2020 model year. However, these revisions were not enough to elevate the C-HR into the upper echelon of our rankings of small SUVs you can buy. The C-HR is effectively hamstrung by its weak engine, noisy interior and lack of cargo capacity. It also does not offer all-wheel drive as an option.

We don't expect Toyota to dramatically change the 2022 C-HR. Check out our test team's Expert Rating to learn more about how the C-HR stacks up against other extra-small SUVs such as the Chevrolet Trailblazer, Hyundai Kona, Mazda CX-30 and Volkswagen Taos.

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

7.0/10

How does the C-HR drive? It's difficult to recommend a vehicle as sluggish as the Toyota C-HR. Its four-cylinder engine simply can't muster enough power to get the C-HR going with any authority. At Edmunds' test track, we logged a 0-60 mph time of 10.6 seconds. That's slower than other small crossovers and hatchbacks. It's even slower than a Toyota Prius.

But the C-HR holds its own in other categories. The brake pedal is easy to modulate, so it's easy to stop smoothly, and the steering is easy to twirl around at low speeds and accurate in sporty situations. The C-HR is also somewhat entertaining to drive on a twisty road even if there's a distinct lack of grip from the tires.

Comfort

7.5/10

How comfortable is the C-HR? The C-HR's seats are well cushioned and supportive, and the suspension smooths out most bumps in the road. The cabin is a pleasant place to be whether you're a driver or passenger.

That said, the C-HR isn't built for less than perfect conditions. We noticed that larger patches of rough pavement can easily upset the ride quality and create a lot of noise in the cabin. It isn't very well insulated from outside noise, and any wind gusts stronger than a light breeze are quite loud inside.

Interior

7.0/10

How’s the interior? Getting in and out of the C-HR is easy thanks to its elevated seating position. There's also plenty of headroom up front. The rear seats have enough room to keep regular-size adults in decent comfort, but the thick rear roof pillars might make them feel a little claustrophobic.

The C-HR's simple control layout is attractive, and the main controls are easy to operate for the most part. But some of the more advanced features such as the adaptive cruise control are a little more difficult to figure out. It's pretty easy to see out of the front of the C-HR, but those thick rear roof pillars obscure your view to the back.

Technology

7.5/10

How’s the tech? The C-HR comes with an 8-inch touchscreen that is simple to read and operate through the menus. It connects with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto via smartphones, and an effective navigation system is available. The audio system provides decent clarity, but the sound quality, especially for songs with thumping bass, quickly degrades when the volume rises.

We're fans of the driver safety aids included in the Toyota Safety Sense 2.5 suite, which is standard on all C-HR models. The lane-keeping alert system can be overzealous in its warnings when you're driving on a twisty road, but it's otherwise helpful. The adaptive cruise control is very good at reducing driver fatigue in heavy traffic and can bring the vehicle down to a smooth stop.

Storage

6.0/10

How’s the storage? Storage space is tight inside the C-HR. Rear trunk space is about average for the class at 19 cubic feet. You can fold down the rear seats to access 37 cubic feet of capacity, but that figure ranks low compared to the competition. Space for small items is adequate up front, though the center console is only average size. The cupholders are on the small side and awkwardly positioned.

Planning to put kids in the back? Car seat anchors are positioned well, but there's little room to install a rear-facing child safety seat without moving the front seats forward. Overall the C-HR is compromised by its quirky shape and size, and Toyota did not bring any of its trademark smart storage solutions to the table.

Fuel Economy

7.0/10

How’s the fuel economy? The EPA estimates fuel economy at 29 mpg combined (27 city/31 highway), which is about average for the class. We found the rating accurate, and even exceeded it with an average of 33.9 mpg on our 115-mile mixed-driving evaluation route.

Value

7.0/10

Is the C-HR a good value? The C-HR offers solid build quality and distinctive materials for the class. We also like the amount of standard safety equipment Toyota includes and the two years of free scheduled maintenance. But the C-HR isn't as affordably priced as some value-minded competitors.

Wildcard

7.5/10

The distinctive styling alone earns Toyota points for bravery. Most people fall into one of two categories: They love the C-HR's design, or they hate it. Those who like it will find the rest of the vehicle filled with personality, from swooping dashboard lines to interesting trapezoid designs pressed into the ceiling. But just about everyone will find that the lack of power can sour the driving experience.

Which C-HR does Edmunds recommend?

We suggest going with the midlevel XLE trim. Compared to the base LE trim, you get keyless entry, blind-spot monitoring and larger alloy wheels for not much more money.

Toyota C-HR models

The 2022 Toyota C-HR is available in three trim levels: XLE, Nightshade and Limited. All C-HRs are powered by a four-cylinder engine that produces 144 horsepower. A continuously variable automatic transmission is standard, as is front-wheel drive. Unlike some other small crossover SUVs, all-wheel drive is not available on the C-HR. Feature highlights include:

XLE
Starts off with:

LED headlights
18-inch steel wheels
Proximity keyless entry and push-button ignition
Dual-zone automatic climate control
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration
8-inch touchscreen display

The C-HR also comes with a collection of advanced driver aids that include:

Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
Lane keeping assist (alerts you if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane and makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
Automatic high beams
Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front)
Road sign recognition
Blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert (warns you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while reversing)

Nightshade
Features on the Nightshade trim mirror those on the XLE. Consider this an appearance package. Changes include:

Black 18-inch alloy wheels
Black chin spoiler and badges
Available two-tone paint with a black roof
Black interior trim

Limited
The top-tier Limited trim builds off the XLE with:

Adaptive LED headlights (swivel as you turn the steering wheel for better illumination in curves)
Unique 18-inch wheels
Available two-tone paint
Chrome and piano black exterior trim
Leather upholstery
Power-adjustable, heated front seats

5/5 stars, Best Toyota I have owned so far

Mike, 01/04/2021

XLE 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl CVT)

This is my third Toyota (Yaris, Corrolla(2)) and thought we would try something different. We got the premium package Bronze oxide and its a great car. Rides high and smooth. We really enjoy driving the car and the newest safety features are a good improvement over the 2017 we had. Especially like the blind spot indicators on the mirror. Some reviewers say the engine is lacking but I …

5/5 stars, Safe for first time drivers

D. De Leon, 02/08/2021

LE 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl CVT)

It’s totally recommended! Price is cheap, very reliable, and of course it’s safe for first time drivers like me. It’s almost the same feature compare to XLE but the only difference is LE doesn’t have Smart Key and it’s steel wheel compared to alloy wheel. Also, cool features like CarPlay; also the warning brake when you’re close to a car and your speed wasn’t decreasing; the lane …

5/5 stars, Surprisingly comfortable and refined for its size

PaulC, 04/13/2021

XLE 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl CVT)

Rented an XLE for a week and drove it 710 miles. I was really surprized this little car offers near 2021 Camry levels of ride comfort and quietness and far better seat comfort. After 2 straight hours of freeway driving I did not feel sore because the front seats of the CH-R somehow make the pressure points vanish. The newer Camry's, by contrast, have hard, fatigue inducing seats., …

Toyota C-HR vs. Toyota Corolla Cross

The Toyota Corolla Cross is one of the newest vehicles in its class. It's a subcompact SUV like the C-HR, but it offers more interior space, especially in the cargo area. The Corolla Cross starts roughly around the same price as a C-HR and offers a more powerful engine with slightly better fuel economy. The only drawback is the styling isn't as interesting as the C-HR's, though that may be a bonus depending on your preferences.

Toyota C-HR vs. Volkswagen Taos

The Taos is VW's first subcompact SUV and it appears to have hit a home run since it is one of our top-rated small SUVs. It offers more power, more cargo capacity and significantly more rear legroom than the C-HR. The Taos does start out a bit higher priced than the C-HR but not enough to cross it off your list of vehicles to consider.

Compare Toyota C-HR & Volkswagen Taos features

Toyota C-HR vs. Hyundai Kona

Like the C-HR, the Hyundai Kona is known for its distinctive styling. The bold exterior design is paired with a somewhat pedestrian interior, but it's functional and spacious. The Kona, unlike the C-HR, is available with both all-wheel drive and a turbocharged engine. We also like the Kona's surprisingly nimble handling and the array of features you get for relatively little cash.
