Road Test

Toyota blurs the lines between the hatchback and subcompact SUV segments with the C-HR (aka Coupe High-Rider). Once we got past the C-HR's avant-garde styling, we found that this Toyota drives decently, but it has a few glaring faults that may take it out of contention for potential buyers.

Model History

2026-Present

Current Generation

The sporty-looking C-HR returns as an electric vehicle, with 338-horsepower, a 290-mile range, and standard all-wheel drive. The motors are backed up by a 74.7-kWh lithium-ion battery and the car has an 11-kW onboard AC charger. It also has an NACS charge port, making it compatible with Tesla Superchargers. DC fast-charging in public places enables the battery pack to go from a 10 percent to 80 percent state-of-charge in about 30 minutes, says Toyota. It is longer and wider than before, putting it between the Corolla Cross and RAV4 in size. There are two trims: SE and XSE. The SE has notable conveniences that include heated front seats and steering wheel, power liftgate, Qi wireless phone chargers, and a large 14-inch infotainment screen. The XSE brings larger wheels, synthetic leather upholstery, driver memory seat, digital rearview mirror, surroundview cameras, and more.

2018-2025

2018 Redesign Year

The wild-styled C-HR is nimble and enjoyable to drive, but it also has several notable deficiencies. Unlike other subcompact-SUV competitors, this genre-bending model has no all-wheel-drive option. Visibility is horrendous, and the C-HR is tortoise-slow, taking more than 11 seconds in the 0-60 mph dash. At least it gets a very good 29 mpg overall. The continuously variable transmission is mostly unobtrusive, but it amplifies engine noise. The ride is firm and tightly controlled. Wind noise is pronounced at highway speeds. Hidden rear door handles give the impression of a two-door coupe, but they make it difficult for kids to open the doors. The XLE Premium trim has more comfortable seats. Although the rear seat is roomy, the small windows create a dark, cave-like cabin. Advanced safety features are standard. For the model year 2021, the Toyota Safety Sense system has been upgraded to TSS 2.5. This suite of safety equipment includes forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking with low-light pedestrian and daytime bicyclist detection, lane departure warning and lane keeping assistance, automatic high beams and road sign assist. A version of lane keeping assistance (lane tracing assist) helps to keep the car in the center of the lane while the adaptive cruise control is being used. Adaptive cruise control is standard with the stop and go function. Blind spot warning and rear cross traffic are available. 2022 is the final year for the C-HR.
