5 reasons to buy the 2021 Toyota C-HR

1. Stand-out design

Your next car should make you smile, and the 2021 Toyota C-HR delivers a lot of "SPM" (smiles per mile). This Toyota crossover certainly doesn't blend into the parking lot, with its swoopy styling and a host of cool exterior features. You'll get standard LED headlights across all trim levels, and you can find optional styled 18-inch sport alloy wheels to add even more of a cool factor to the exterior. 

2. Focus on comfort

A compact crossover shouldn't skimp on comfort, and the 2021 Toyota C-HR certainly doesn't. The standard dual-zone automatic climate control system will keep you at just the right temperature, no matter the destination. Meanwhile, optional features like leather upholstery and eight-way adjustable (and heated) front seats will make the miles fly by. Check out the top-spec Limited trim to maximize the luxury factor for the 2021 C-HR. 

3. Sporty handling

It looks cool and it's comfy, but the 2021 Toyota C-HR is also fun to drive. The C-HR was designed to zip around corners with ease, which can add some fun to your daily commute. But don't worry—Toyota also built in a pliant suspension to smooth out bumps in the road. The C-HR is ready for any road you want to take. 

4. The latest tech

It's always nice to have up-to-date technology built into your car. The 2021 Toyota C-HR allows you to control everything through an easy-to-use eight-inch touchscreen. It has standard Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto connectivity too, along with an optional navigation system. Plus, driver aids like lane departure alert, adaptive cruise control, forward collision mitigation, and more are standard across all trim levels of the 2021 C-HR. 

5. The Nightshade Edition

You can find some great LE, XLE, and Limited trims, but if you want your 2021 Toyota C-HR to stand out even more, take a look at the Nightshade Edition. The Nightshade gets trim-specific upgrades like a black roof, black badging, and 18-inch black sport alloy wheels with black lug nuts. Pair that with cool colors like Supersonic Red and Blue Eclipse Metallic, and you'll always find your 2021 C-HR shining bright in the parking lot.
