Toyota C-HR SUV (2017 - 2023) Design 1.8 VVT-i Hybrid auto 5d Owner Review

As many people point out the infotainment system is rather slow and no apple car play/ Android connectivity on this particular years model. Nice to drive with a decent ride and good forward visibility. Personally I do not mind the CVT transmission as it ‘makes’ you drive more economically. I have only once driven in sports mode on country roads, when I was late for an appointment, and found the handling and steering to be better than I expected. During the summer months I can get over 80mpg in town driving, but using the heater in winter requires the engine to warm up so effects urban, short journeys. The boot is adequate for my needs, but I do not have a family so cannot comment on how it performs in this capacity. I have conducted a few journeys of over 5 hours and find the car comfortable, the adaptive cruise control being a definite boon in these circumstances. I find that ‘chasing’ EV mode also encourages a more relaxed style of driving and calmer breaking which also makes you think further ahead than normal, not a bad thing in this day and age of erratic driving standards. All in all, if this vehicle accommodates your lifestyle, I would recommend it as a (subjectively) good looking car.
