Just bought a 2019 C-HR and LOVE IT! It won me over with the safety features and styling and my wife loves the high riding height. I got a 2 tone color scheme which is a must for this car and really makes it look even more special. What people don't mention are the official Toyota TRD performance parts available right from the dealer. I just installed the TRD Air Intake and I already noticed a bump up in horse power and torque. I will soon be adding the TRD Lowering Springs. The car is not a sports car but it is perfect for my family and it is sporty. I absolutely love those power side view mirrors and the puddle lights and with the available TRD parts you are able to really maximize the potential of this car without voiding the warranty and all wrapped up in that legendary Toyota quality.

When you add Turbo, then you end up with the mess what Honda is in now. I liked the fact Toyota kept it simple and it will age gracefully overtime. This is going to be a hidden gem years from now. It will be appreciating just like the FJ Cruiser.

I think this car looks fantastic! I don’t understand how someone can think that it’s ugly.

About time Toyota pushes the bar with design. Now to see if they'll give America an AWD and and plenty of customisable options. Don't send it to us without anything in it. That screens got to go to.

No AWD,  leather seats, sunroof, no Carplay, small dimensions? A total miss opportunity for Toyota! Like the Toyota Safety Sense though.

'this thing doesn't have a cd player' ummmm which car does have one nowadays?

[sherylrohr]

Ok, but what if you drive through snow like I do? You don't think all wheel drive would be better in that case?

[rbielarski]

have too many CD's I enjoy to give up with this car, their quality is better too then my phone and no satellite radio. Sorry Toyota!

[bigcrowfly]

No Sirius XM? Why not? It does not cost anything because XM subsidizes the cost and if the person renews for one 6 month periord at discounted rates it gets back its investment.

My 2003 Corolla is still in use that I was disappointed the Matrix devolved to more of a sedan and preferred the original ones they stopped making. This is too expensive for what you get and compared to the HRV. I would look into Honda or the Crosstrek.

[hndrix]

any idea when the Hybrid version is coming to the US?

The back seat is clustaphopic with that sharp c piller.

I drive a 2014 toyota corolla and I love it I don't have satellite radio or automatic headlights it should be standard

[jkcyriac]

When's the Lexus model of this coming out??

[glow]

I don't care about adaptive Cruise Control, Toyota. I respect the people out there that don't want to buy a crossover or SUV without AWD, but I think that is a huge mistake to offer it.

Liked your review. I bought this car for my wife. I have the Nissan Juke and love it. While the C HR's power is great for the way she drives, i hate it. My juke smokes it and i prefer to drive it over the Toyota. With that said, the Toyota has a much more comfortable ride. So, there are tradeoffs. For myself, i would buy the new Juke over the Toyota in a New York minute. If they still sold it here in the US.

[IxNxFxExRxNxO]

I only hate that the car doesnt have an option for a panoramic roof or sun roof. And the lack of fast engine. As for the the rest I love it!

[InvestBetter.]

Not nearly as ugly as the Juke. It's almost good-looking
This is still bigger than the original Rav4 from 1996

[Robert.Riddle]

Why the hell do all these auto guide reviewers sound the exact same?

[stevenschodel]

Funny that AWD is not available to you, but here in europe it is available in 4x :)
