A stylish and practical crossover SUV.

The Toyota C-HR is a newer option in the popular crossover-SUV segment. Crossovers, also called subcompact SUVs, are great for drivers who want the style and space of an SUV, but from a vehicle with a relatively small size. The Toyota C-HR debuted in 2018 with many standard driver-assist system features like forward collision braking and radar-controlled adaptive cruise control. The C-HR couples unique exterior styling with functionality, bringing you a vehicle that is both practical and fun to drive.

5 reasons to buy the 2019 Toyota C-HR

1. Edgy design

The Toyota C-HR is instantly recognizable. It has an edgy exterior design, with standard features like a black rear spoiler and shark fin antenna that make it look more aggressive than most SUVs. Halogen headlights and daytime running LED lights make it stand out even more. If you're looking for a vehicle that stands out among all the other SUVs, the C-HR is a good choice thanks to its feature-heavy design.

2. Great fuel economy

2019 Toyota C-HR Review: Engine | CarMax

The C-HR is a good vehicle for people who want to be more conscious of their fuel consumption. Both the 2018 and 2019 C-HR models get an EPA-estimated 29 mpg combined with the 2.0L engine.

This makes it a practical car for commutes to work, school, or trips to see friends—not to mention for longer road trips and visits to see family and friends out-of-state too.

3. Plentiful driver-assist features

The C-HR takes advantage of technology to make things easier behind the wheel. The C-HR comes standard with the Toyota Safety Sense package, which features lane-keep assist and forward collision braking. It also comes standard with a back-up camera. Standard driver assist features include brake assist and Smart Stop Technology®. Blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert come standard on the 2019 XLE and Limited models and on the 2018 XLE Premium model.

4. Enhanced driving modes

The C-HR will keep you from getting bored behind the wheel. That's because it comes with three standard driving modes: sport, normal, and ECO. The sport driving mode, for example, increases acceleration for when you want a bit of a thrill. Although the C-HR is only available with automatic transmission, the Sequential Shiftmatic Mode, which comes standard, gives you control to manually go through seven virtual gears—giving you more control.

5. Connectivity

The C-HR will allow you to stay connected on the road. The 2019 model comes standard with Apple CarPlay® and Bluetooth®, as well as an eight-inch touchscreen display (compared to the 2018 model's slightly smaller seven-inch display). Audio-system upgrades available on the 2019 XLE and Limited trims will give you access to WiFi-hotspot capability.

Satellite radio and navigation are also available options on those trims.
