A ‘Hotwheels’ car for grown ups. One of the few cars to make you think “Aha! That’s what cars are supposed to look like in the 21st century. I think it’s so weird looking it’s gorgeous. Great video, Ta!

Having just bought this car I can assure you this SUV has all the bells and whistles on 👌 park assist is so fun and switching drive mode into sport mode OMG the power it unleashes. If you're thinking of buying this car you won't regret it, very nice car, amazing to drive and the rear end gets a lot of attention, the back of the car is stunning

I am almost 3 years into my ownership of a CHR. So the 1.8 Hybrid engine. I love it. My second Hybrid, I had a Honda Insight previously and I am totally sold on Hybrids. Love all the whistles and bells as noted in another comment although I have yet to try the auto park function. They are remarkably agile and efficient. One thing to note, in cold weather your fuel efficiency will drop noticeably as the EV Mode will not kick on starting until the engine is up to normal running temp.

If ever a car needed a panoramic roof it's this one.

Just took one for a test drive and it was smooth, quick at low speeds with the hybrid power, fun around the corners Loved it! You cant go wrong with a toyota

The name and rear lights just remind me of a Honda.

I was scared cause I thought I was gonna hear a bunch of bad reviews, since I already bought mine just recently. But now I’m even more glad I chose this car 😁

[Coral]

Each time one of these pass me on the road they always grab my attention there's just something about this car I love. I think it's one of those cars you either love or hate and I love it.

Nice honest review. Managed to hire one with low expectations since I heard from reviews that it was sluggish. Then I was surprised that it was quite quick due to it being the 2.0 engine. Very smooth, comfortable. I just don't know why Toyota couldn't give more options in choosing a brighter interior.

A truly commendable review packed with useful info and nuanced humour. You are way better at this than most of the pros. Great job.

No idea how I missed this video when you released it Matt, but I’ve got to it now. The Toyota hybrid CHR is interestingly styled and the 1.8 and 2.0 hybrid combo is proven technology by Toyota. Nice useable everyday car. Great video Matt 👌nice finding this little Gem to watch on a miserable dark cold wet Blighty night

"It had as much get-up-and-go as the child of a billionaire" .... Where do come up with this stuff mate, I literally LOL'd

[Leegheid]

My parents bought a brand new one of these CHR hybrids and it’s an absolute dream! It drives soo smoothly (especially the automatic one) and it’s such a comfortable car! If you can afford it then it’s definitely worth your money

It's like the designer accidentally sent the version he wanted instead of the watered down one he thought suits would like and woke up in a panic only to fi d out it got the green light.

My passat has collision warning. Trouble is when it 'detects' something (usually exaggerating) it beeps at you so the first thing you so is look down at the dash to see what its moaning about. By which point, if there was a problem, the problem would be flattened.

[grahamfunnell]

Love your reviews. You provide all the information real world drivers need to know quickly and simply.

I leased one for my daughter just this week, but it is not the hybrid model, it is just a conventional gasoline powered XLE model. So far so good, she really likes it and I like the fact I am teaching her responsibility at a young age, the way my dad taught me, when I got my first car. It’s a nice little sporty looking car with just the right amount of power and safety features.

[deanbennett]

Remember the first time i saw one of these. Thought the design looked years ahead of anything else.

[mfitzy]

They’re brilliant cars- excellent quality, styling and performance. No wonder they hold their value so well

[mikaeljonsson]

I really like the kinda space-car look of the chr.... especially in dark greymetallic.
