2019 Toyota C-HR Limited Review - Never Expected to Say THIS

I was never a proponent of Toyota's C-HR. But now that I've driven it, I never expected to say this. M.S.R.P. - $29,643.

I have owned a chr for over a year now and there's definitely a difference in sport mode. Too many drivers are over concerned with horse power, that's why driving related deaths are as high as they are. Drive safe👍

Without the aluminum rims, my 2019 CHR LE was $22K for $386/Month.

I’m a local in Maui, Hawaii, and most of my travel from home to work, gym, and back to home is less than 20 miles, half tank of gas is about a week and a quarter.

The only con I have is the languid acceleration, however, I’m not interested in driving passing the speed limit nor am I trying to get a speed ticket.

Other than that, I’m glad to own this vehicle.

The blind spot monitors are definitely my favourite safety feature, and the adaptive cruise control that slows you down when approaching another vehicle when you can't overtake, and then accelerates you back up quickly when you do, is awesome. I have the 1.8 which has enough get up and go for me, but does encourage a more relaxed sedate driving style, which is no bad thing. The best thing of all though is fuel economy. That's why I bought a hybrid and I haven't been disappointed. In the past I've found mpg computers hopelessly optimistic, but in the C HR it's pretty much bang on. I use the brim to brim method of working out fuel consumption, and so far my worst return was 55mpg (Imperial) and my best has been 62mpg on a long constant 70mph motorway trip, which give or take a few miles, is what the computer says. That's well up on my previous Hyundai ix35 diesel which averaged 45 mpg. Also, in the UK at least, even outside of the new warranty, each time you have it serviced by Toyota, they roll on the warranty another year up to 10 years or 100, 000 miles, and it's not expensive. The hybrid system remains under warranty another five years after that. I've got a friend who runs one of these as a taxi and has done over 150, 000 and the only issue over and above normal wear and tear, was with the heated seats. Great car

I highly suggest this car as a daily commuter and if you want a car that’s bigger than a sedan but smaller than a suv, it drives fantastic

[mildredhayes]

You did an awesome job in giving details about the car. I am forty-nine years old and my husband—-of over twenty years of marriage—-was debating about getting this car because of the negative comments on the acceleration, but I am not a speedy/heavy foot driver...so he’s taking me to test drive it in a few months....thats because our lease on our Camry isnt up until November.

I just bought A 2020 XLE version and the car handles like a dream, and I love the styling of it. I was comparing this to a 2020 Lexus ux 250h however the Lexus back seat is minuscule and hard to get into.

[rdsii]

If it had an optional all wheel drive and an extra 100 horses I might consider it.

[larryrubin]

I'm not super picky. I'll take one and appreciate the Toyota and not care what anyone care about it's modern styling

[irishuntley]

LOVE your get to it and easy to follow commentary style.Your voice a definite communicating plus.

[deathlordpookey]

First off, I love the cosmetic design of this vehicle, looks great, inside and outside. Would be nice to see it with an all wheel drive package, and maybe a little more capability in acceleration department.

Well done! You have done your homework on this car. My family and I loved this car so much we bought one. We bought a 2019 XLE model in metallic blue with a white top and it looks amazing! You get a lot of style for the money, amazing safety features as you mentioned, and all wrapped up in that legendary Toyota quality. We have a family of 3 and the size is perfect. Everyone fits fine in the car with room for groceries and the car itself is small and nimble enough to make it fun to get around in. It may not be a sports car but it is sporty. I am replacing a manual transmission car I have been driving for almost 20 years with this C-HR but I have to say, the automatic CVT transmission is pretty good and the option to manual shift is nice. It does not replace the feel of a clutch and stick but it is nice to have it as an option to break up the driving experience a bit and I also like the g-monitor to measure g forces. What a lot of people don't mention is that Toyota also offers some great first party, after market performance parts for the car right from the dealer. I installed a TRD Air Intake Kit for more torque and horsepower and I do feel the difference. I also installed a Tornado Air unit, not from Toyota, to further squeeze more power form the engine. I will be installing some TRD Lowering Springs to make the car handle even better as well as improving the stance of the car by lowing it about an inch. In my opinion, the original exhaust pipe looks pretty pathetic for such a sporty looking car. Not wanting to void my warranty, I also installed a dual-head, chromed exhaust tip which greatly improves the look of the car form the back. This is how the car should have came from the factory. We got the car because it was the perfect car for us but I am seeing more of them here in So Cal. I'm glad to see you know it was fine tuned on the Nurburgring but did you also know it was designed in Toyota's CA design studio? Again, well done. We love the car. Subscribed.

I have the 2018 C-HR, same color, I LOVE it! Looks like the upgraded a few things in the 2019 but still very similar. She's the Best car I have ever had! It drives great on trips, comfortable, great gas mileage and it's a sexy car! It feels to me like it has a little get up and go but not enough to get me into trouble with to many speeding tickets. Very roomy inside for passengers, as well as hauling things in the back with the seats down. I give the C-HR ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 👍👍

Sport mode, with a 6-speed manual actually makes a bit of a difference. We here in Australia have the 1.2 turbo. Nice.

[loriswayne]

I own that exact vehicle. Same color and all. I love it.

[ccchhhrrriiisss]

Very good review! It's crazy but I actually love the design of this vehicle. While some car "experts" might rant about "better subcompact SUVs" available at the same price, they all tend to look the same basic design with only a few differences on the grill or rear. This was designed to look unique while offering a comfortable ride with Toyota's latest Safety Sense features. My only problem is finding a good deal in the era of chip shortages due to a pandemic. I live in the Silicon Valley and its a pain trying to find one in stock between San Francisco and San Jose. One dealership called to tell me that they have one available -- but its not even on the boat yet in Japan (and wouldn't be here until May)!

[Aqua]

Add a manual transmission to the mix !! And, all wheel drive! The Corolla Hatch is available with a manual, btw...

[mr.anonymous]

Good thing I went for the Camry. Got 203 horsepower for when I need them and have 29 in the city with 42 on the highway. Which is really nice. I also like my led headlights.

Like your review videos, you have a style and tone that’s really lacking from a lot of the others out there and you manage to hit the important points quickly without dragging it on for 30 minutes.
