Toyota C-HR brings a compact car to a modern ride height

Toyota C-HR brings a compact car to a modern ride height

What it is: The Toyota C-HR is Toyota’s extremely quirky-looking compact crossover. If you see a Toyota RAV4 and think to yourself that it’s a little too plain or a little too expensive, then the C-HR is aimed at you. Priced about 10 percent below a RAV4, the C-HR starts at an easy-to-stomach $20,945. What might not be so easy to digest is the exterior appearance of the C-HR. Extremely bold styling certainly has the C-HR turning heads. Available two-tone paint choices allow consumers to further embrace the uniqueness. I’m rather partial to the models that pair a typical body color with a black roof, but the metallic blue body with white roof pairing is likely too much for most buyers. My test model was equipped with a silver exterior with black roof, and it is quite handsome.
