- When is a SUV/CUV not an SUV/CUV? I'm honestly not sure. I think this is more like porn in the Jacobellis v. Ohio Supreme Court decision: I know it when I see it, and this isn't it. On the other hand, the CH-R is something else just as tasty: a better Corolla.

This car when it was first released about 5 years ago wasn't great. Since then they've made some pretty good improvements. What I don't get is the lack of love this car gets. It's very comfortable, handles well, and is a great little daily driver. It's a great all around daily and actually has some unique styling. It's not a cookie cutter looking car. Early models were lacking and yes there is always room for improvement. However this is a good car for it's intended purpose.
What have been the improvements?
@@th3m3du54 Android auto, Apple car play, 8" screen... just to name a few. There's been others. It depends upon trim line. Plus now they actually have trim line options. It was a mono spec car planned for Scion originally. There's full speed adaptive cruise and all sorts of safety tech like lane trace, lane keep where it will steer, stop you, and start driving again. Pedestrian and bicycle detection... a lot of stuff has been added. It's all standard now. They've changed a lot. It's got dual zone climate standard, heated windshield, etc. You can get heated steering wheel, seats, blind spot monitoring, power folding mirrors, one touch up down for all windows. Like I said, they're not bad cars.
@@jeeperwill6262I've got 90% of that in my 2017 model
I love the exterior. I test drove one several years ago and thought it was too soft and mushy on the road. Also, the back seat felt like being in a dungeon.
As a owner of this vehicle I will say it’s best for a single person or maybe a couple, not a family or somebody that has to haul a lot of cargo daily. You can definitely tell this car was designed around the drivers experience not so much for the passengers which I appreciate because I’m the only one usually in it. The limited trim model is actually worth it because you have an eight way power adjusting driver seat the seat is extremely comfortable and just hugs you. I will say I am 5’9” and weigh around 168 this car would not be great of someone of substantial horizontal size might feel a little bit squashed but with that said there’s plenty of headroom throughout. It’s a fantastic little car are you gonna be doing burn outs at stop lights absolutely not but I find the CVT to be very smooth for a 2 L four-cylinder. The CHR looks and feels way more expensive than what you’re gonna pay for it compared to the other vehicles in this category.
BMW tech here. Get a Toyota.
Yes, just not this one. Get a RAV4 or the upcoming Corolla Cross instead.
The most comprehensive comparison review I have ever seen! Those looking @ the sub compact SUV segment, this is ur video. This is the best!
Loving this channel for the comparison size charts they show. And great reviews even about little things. Awesome
My wife owns a C-HR Limited and I know from first hand that there’s a reason why these thing don’t sell all that well. Simply put, the C-HR is just not a big car. Virtually everything dwarfs the C-HR inside. Toyota also did a poor job marketing this car and really should have offered it with AWD and a Hybrid.
But like most things, when you live with it you get to understand it. And with that, I’m actually gonna go up to bat for the C-HR. You can actually live with this car. My wife (who’s name is also Alex lol) has had the C-HR for 2 years and we’ve carried dressers, countless ikea trips, and we’ve hauled plywood from The Home Depot several times (3’x5’). She also had roof bars which further expands the usability. I say if you like it, buy it. It’s good for a small family of 3 but you really shouldn’t push it much more than that.
My wife bought one based on its looks (so superficial aye) . It's the 1.8 litre hybrid and it gets 60mpg combined hilly/highw driving. Not bad for a lead foot.
The most reliable bicycle helmet ever created
Except that despite being a Toyota, Consumer Reports indicates this is one of the lower reliable vehicles in its class. Shame, as I love the styling, and REALLY love the green/white color combo they had in years past.
@@BoopSnoot Consumer Reports as nothing more than a bought out Ad Agency.
Thanks, now I can’t unsee it
@@michaelduke4500 That doesn't make sense, as not only do they not accept any revenue from manufacturers, or advertising, and purchase the vehicles they test themselves, but they rate almost all other Toyota products as top reliability with the exception of the C-HR which they list as slightly below average reliability with low consumer satisfaction rate.
The Toyota Prius for example is still their most recommended in class vehicle for a decade now.
I don’t know why Toyota don’t sell this hybrid AWD like they do in Europe
The gas version already sells poorly, hybrid CHR will cost more, people who buy a car in this segment don’t want to pay more for something unnecessary, like AWD, bad MPG, or Hybrid power train that costs $2000+ more.
@@blackwhirlwind1245 the Niro sells pretty well as a subcompact hybrid
I test drove one early in 2020, I would have purchased it if it were hybrid and AWD with a sunroof. I decided on a totally different Toyota.
This feels like something they threw out there because everybody else was. It's strictly a bargain offering, and hybrids aren't seen as appealing to.the young (for no good reason).
@@gondorian1006 Kia has a weird magical ability to make niche vehicles successful. For instance, The Soul's success compared to other mini-boxes is unprecedented and is the only one of its kind left now. They do have better marketing than Toyota and Honda so maybe that helps?
Thank you for the video. I, myself, am an owner of the 2019 Toyota C-HR. Do you think the hybrid version will ever come to the United States now that gas prices are going to start climbing high?
That cruise control stack has been in Toyota's part bin longer than I've been alive.
I love this car! Wish there was one in my garage instead of the HRV, but in Canada it's a deciding factor
how does this get worse MPG than a rav4 that has much more horse power/torque
Because the C-HR is underpowered for its weight and needs the extra fuel just to get moving.
The engine is super outdated, the Corolla's engine is far superior in every aspect.
@@gns942 its the same engine ( 1.8l ) xD only the chr can come with the 2.0 l while corolla stops at the 1.8 btw am talking hybrid engines
The EPA ratings are bunk. The CH-R gets much better than rated. Many private reviewers confirm this with long distance test drives. I can also verify this as I own one.
Bonus with the tall doors and kids is that if my kid can't reach the handle I don't trust them to open their door in a parking lot. Therfore stopping my kids from smashing the car beside and my door. Once kids are tall enough to reach the door, they should be responsible enough to open a door without hitting anything
I looked at the CH-R before I settled on the Kia Soul. All wheel drive isn't 4 wheel drive and after getting stuck in Vermont snow a couple of times in my 2017 Forester I realized that AWD is overblown and not necessary in 99% of driving situations. Room? The Kia Soul has more interior space than my Forester did and blows the CH-R away. The clucky Subaru entertainment meant it constantly lost my blue tooth connection. Kia's works and works and works. The Forester's clutch blew out at 30k so we will see how long Kia's lasts but it just seems better made. Plus it's not as expensive. I get better mileage than rated BTW.
This was really helpful information. Thank you!
Alex, why the clickbait title? C-HR is not a better Corolla. Corolla is more affordable, has much better fuel economy, more powerful engine, faster 0-60 time, and more fun to drive. The C-HR despite being more like an crossover/SUV, still has cramped rear legroom and tiny cargo space so it doesn't beat Corolla in that department either.
Agreed.
This actually deserves a 6sp manual...
The Hyundai Venue had a manual for like six months and now is no longer available. And EVs outsold manuals in 2020, which tells you how the manual is dying. That is beyond sad, and I could not see myself buying any of these underpowered cars with an automatic.
The CHR has a manual in many markets outside the US. While it would be cool, no one would buy a manual CHR in the US/NA...look at how few buy manual Corolla..
@@LearnAboutFlow Why not? Every performance test I've seen in years has shown automatics outperforming manuals. An 8-10 speed autobox or a cvt simply has more gear ratios and can change them more quickly. No big mystery.
@@markmiller3279 Um, please provide proof of your claims in this class. We're not talking Veloster N here.
Nope! It needs to be put to rest!!! RIP!! Bring over the Corolla Cross from Thailand....hurry
Does the C-HR Nightshade series available in red like here? I thought they were all black!
Toyota needs to drop this Scion relic and bring the Corolla Cross to North America.
I expect an announcement in the next 6 months.
What about the Yaris Cross?
@@kristians2704 either is better than the CH-R
@@kristians2704 It was make sense to sell that here as well.
The Corolla Cross is bland as hell. The Yaris Cross is slightly more attractive at least. Toyota needs some soul.
Anyone know where to find that foldable trunk cover?
Those huge blind spots are a deal breaker for me. I need to see traffic before I change lanes. Yes, I know they have blind spot monitoring, but until cars start driving themselves (and pay for the insurance), I’m still the operator. Thanks for the video, now I know what I won’t be missing!
I haven't noticed blind spots being an issue. Mind you, I drive a truck for a living where rear view mirrors don't exist.
@@samueladams5503 I drive a school bus and rely on my 4 (total) side view mirrors. The problem with many standard side view auto mirrors is there’s STILL a blind spot (in my personal car, I’ve attached fish eye mirrors to eliminate the problem). I still think this design sacrifices safety for style.
My biggest issue with this is that it's way too underpowered. We wanted Toyota reliability and looked at this vs. Corolla h/b - the Corolla with the 169 hp engine is more fuel efficient and much quicker. We also liked the interior design, materials quality, visibility and layout better. Without AWD, why bother with this? I get that this is crossover-esque, but in some cases, I think the Corolla hatch is a more direct and very relevant comparison that I wish Alex made - like he's done with the RAV4 vs. Venza.
Agreed.
Yep, the Corolla hatch not only has the more powerful engine, it also has the CVT with a physical launch gear which makes it faster off the line and also more reliable. This 2021 C-HR has the old-school CVT with no physical launch gear.
To add further insult to injury, the Corolla hatchback also weighs several hundred pounds less than this bloated C-HR which makes it even faster and much more fuel-efficient.
@@braetonwilson4296 - agree with you and +Right Lane Hog for sure. I also felt the Corolla handles better (huge improvement over past Corollas too because of TNGA), and the digital instrument TFT in our XSE is much more attractive than the CH-R set-up.
FWD with stability control & winter tires(Nokian Hakkapeliitta) is all I needed over any head gasket eating Subaru.
In Australia, CHR comes with 1.2 Turbo and AWD. There's a 1.8 Hybrid model.
In Australia you can walk right passed this in the Toyota dealership and buy a GR Yaris.
I personally have always liked these, probably because it was supposed to be a Scion and not a Toyota. Does anyone know if these will be discontinued?
what about the CX-30? isn't that a good competitor?
If only Toyota would hurry up and bring the Corolla Cross to NA.
agreed!
ill be very happy even with the yaris crosstrek
They’re gonna rebadge this and give us a corolla cross 😆
Anything would be better than this monstrosity. It has nothing going for it but presumed reliability and standard safety tech, and that's just not enough. There are too many better competitors.
There is a picture of the Toyota Corolla Cross on youtube. The vehicle looks good. It looks bigger than everyone thinks. Hopefully it will be in the U.S. for the 2022 model year.
Great video!!!! Thank you so much!
C-HR Toyota hybrid, half saves keep filling up on unleaded Beautiful car, sounds quite. Better for environment. I love mine. The only problem is, that the back passenger seats, not enough leg room or enough space for a shopping trolley in between the back seat of the floor. Also a sliding sun roof would be nice, for the summer.
This reminds me of Toyota Matrix with an upgraded look.
The Toyota Matrix XRS and Pontiac Vibe GT were so much better than this CHR
An uglified Matrix with less rear seat room, cargo space, and performance. The Matrix's only big problem was a truly ugly dash seemingly inspired by a boom box.
Lmao. "That bobbleheaded feeling"
My mom has a FWD 2019 EcoSport Titanium and it definitely does give that feeling over uneven road and it handles tight enough but it's not confidence inspiring at all 🤧
I've seen & been to one. It's smaller inside than a Corolla. How is that better? I guess if your height is 5'5" & weigh less than 150.
A lot of haters in the comments.. This car is great and better looking than the Corolla. If it’s not convenient for your lifestyle then it’s not for you.. But don’t knock it!
Does the vehicle saves up gas? Cause I'm getting that car and I drive 40 minutes to work and back home.
I thought it had finally upgraded to the 2L engine & launch gear CVT from the Corolla. Disappointing. And looking at the options, what's the point of the Nightshade edition? Seems expensive for different door handles & badging.
Well, It does have the 2L engine, but it makes less horsepower than the 2L engine with physical first gear from Corolla and Corolla hatchback, which has similar price point, I don’t understand why people would buy CHR than Corolla Hatchback.
@@blackwhirlwind1245 The 2 liter engine in the C-HR is very different from the 2 liter engine in the Corolla. As you wrote, Corolla has a different transmission as well with the physical first gear. Corolla's powertrain is superior in every way.
I get the differences in that this is several years old by now. The Corolla just got the latest 2L and the latest cvt.
We are actually collecting CHR Orange Edition 2.0 litre Hybrid tomorrow. It is the top of the range model in UK comes with every available option Toyota makes including Adaptive LED headlights, dynamic turn indicators, all full LED front and rear, heated steering wheel/seats, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, Lane assist and adaptive cruise control, JBL sound etc all for £30k after £4k discount. Still a bargain compared to entry level 2 litre diesel German cars that will come with poverty spec without any options and technology.
You're making the smart choice. Here in the USA, we laugh at people who buy German cars because German cars are overpriced unreliable heaps of junk.
I'm jealous. We don't have half those features in US models. Best wishes with it.
No Trunk comfort index??? - Sad face-- Maybe i missed it.
I got in back of one.... Claustrophobic nightmare. Family still has 2 old Pontiac vibes (Toyota matrix sister) and that feels so much roomier. Be interested if they bring the corolla cross to US.
My Vibe turns 16 this month. The Matrix and Vibe were highly practical, rational and functional designs which is the opposite of this C-HR. Expect the Corolla Cross to arrive when the new Alabama plant comes online within the next year.
Great review as usual Alex. I agree about the CX-30, considering that or the Seltos EX/SX or Niro EX. If your money was on the line which would you choose out of the three? Thanks!
I don't think so Alex, I sat in the rear seat briefly and closed the door, and felt claustrophobic, that rear high door line is terrible.
He does note that it's pretty claustrophobic back there. It's such a cramped back seat that I can't imagine who this would appeal to. Add the grotesque styling, uncomfortable front seats, small cargo area, and slow acceleration and it's hard to see who this would appeal to. The super cheap Hyundai Venue is roomier, more comfortable, and better looking, for a direct competitor. It's only major negative is a Spartan interior, but the Toyota is only a little better - it has a proper center console and armrest, but material quality is about the same.
I agree. I think this is a 2 adult car.
I actually think the design is really sharp. But that 0-60 of 11 sec just kills if for me
I love my
Toyota CHR! It’s a joy to drive!
Agreed
Hmm I wonder if this will be discontinued with the all new Corolla Cross coming..
Great honest and straightforward review! We have a 2019 C-HR XLE and LOVE it! I also agree about the comment made about the clumsy drive mode selection. There needs do be a dedicated "Sport" button near the drive selector. There are blank buttons there after all. It not only remembers "Eco" mode when you shut it off but it also remember "Normal" mode but not "Sport". For me and my family, what attracted us to this car was its styling, size, safety features and price. Somehow they packed 10 airbags in this little car. We do live in So Cal so not having AWD is not a issue. If people are interested in this car, don't listen to all the hate and drive it yourself. It is a great driving little car and feels more expensive than its list price. I have been seeing more of them on the road now. Recently we came to appreciate having an actual spare tire and not a fix a flat kit. The only issue we have had was a rattling noise from a loose bushing in the exhaust but Toyota fixed that under warranty and we have had zero issues since. For those who got this car and want even more performance I highly suggest getting the TRD Air Intake Kit and TRD Lowering Springs to squeeze out even more performance out of this car. You will give up some MPGs but for us the added performance was worth it. We have the parts and will never go back. You can get these parts directly from your Toyota dealership. Again, great review!
2021 Corolla also has 10 airbags. TRD Air Intake Kit is a great idea though considering the C-HR already has worse fuel economy than the Corolla, IDK if reducing the fuel economy even further is smart. Also, one of it's very few advantages is it's decent ground clearance. You neutralize that advantage by using the TRD lowering springs so that makes little sense. You should have just bought the Corolla with the 2 liter engine instead if you wanted performance.
@@braetonwilson4296 Teach each their own. The C-HR is perfect for us. It is not just ground clearance but seating position that is important for us. It sits higher than the Corolla which was an important factor for my wife. My mother is elderly and when I have to go to her house to drive her around the higher seating position makes a HUGE difference allowing her to get in an out easier. As far as getting a Corolla, our 2019 Honda Civic Type R does everything infinity better than any Corolla can. The C-HR and Type R both complement each other well for needs of my family and they both actually fit in our garage which was important. Buy what works for you and your family and don't worry about what other people think. In the end these other people are not paying your bills and they don't have to do what you have to do.
@@StandingUpForBetter I would much rather buy the 2021 Corolla SE sedan over the 2021 Honda Civic Type R. Type R is overpriced with dealer mark-up, has a nasty unreliable direct injected turbo engine, and has had problems with it's manual transmission (gears crunching). Your point at the end is spot on though.
@@braetonwilson4296 We are LOVEING our Type R. It has made both my wife and daughter car enthusiasts. No problems with reliability and no issues with gear crunching. We are also keeping this for a long time. It is one of the best manuals I have ever driven. In short it drives like a dream and has an incredible amount of room AND we got it at MSRP which is something we could not pass up. Enjoy your rides because we are enjoying ours :)
Blind spot monitoring should be standard even on the LE model.
Great review as always, but the second it was stated that this is CVT-only, I switched out. The Corolla Hatch is now the one I am looking at, since it has an available Manual Transmission.
C-HR is a left over Scion product which is just a placeholder for a real Toyota product like the Corolla Cross.
Yes! They need to bring the Corolla Cross to North America!
The Corolla Cross would make 1000% more sense. I get that Toyota already spent money on developing the C-HR for Scion, but they need to cut their losses and bring the Corolla Cross to the US.
@@panzer_TZ Toyota is bringing the Corolla Cross in 2022 and it will likely replace this C-HR.
Would it kill Toyota to put a better engine in it?
They should put gr Yaris engine in it
I tested this, and the rear doors are absolutely stupid, way too claustrophobic with those tiny windows.
No comfort for rear passenger and no rear visibility for the driver. Stupid.
I just wish the ch r had a lower belt line and more glass area in the rear to improve airiness and rear visibility
Amen! The overall shape looks interesting on the outside but once you get inside it's cramp. Not even mimi me want to own this stupid CHR. I'm glade Toyota decided to drop this poor selling vehicle and bring in the Corolla Crossover but not here in the USA yet. Currently, only available in Thailand cause that's a shame.
I saw the mpg numbers and immediately eliminated it from consideration. You get better fuel economy from a Ford Escape plus all the room, awd, and a hybrid option...all for a similar price.
I can’t think of a reason to buy this. Why hasn’t Toyota brought the Corolla Cross to the US?
Let's hope Toyota spy follow Alex and his followers and read all the comments on here then maybe they might bring over the Corolla Cross. Best if they give it the option AWD for people like me living in the Pacific Northwest with snows.
I looked. I sat in it. I walked away.
Radar cruise is also standard on these ;)
For a small engine with a CVT I think that MPG is terrible. My 2017 Impala Gets over 33 MPG Hwy.
Great review! 👋👋👋👋. Toyota must bring the turbo anf the hybrid to USA. They should add a moonroof and they should not hide the rear exhaust pipe! They must put the real chrome exhaust pipe and not fake! Then, they will have a perfect, beautiful, funcky modern litle crossover!!!
I test drove one and one thing that killed the whole deal was the blind spots ,they are horrible , that design of the rear doors with them placing the door handles that high ,makes all that area so “thick” ,and if you sit at the back you literally can’t see outside,terrible design.
Agreed.
Yup. The back seat is nearly useless. You feel like you're sitting on the floor of a black pit with your knees being crushed. The cargo area is poor, too, so it's not as if that's where the space went.
@@markmiller3279 on top of that , it doesn’t even offer a sunroof for the price , or AWD .
This car also feels bigger than a corolla, but smaller on the inside. What market does this even cater for.
@@MiguelRPD exactly, the Corolla feels bigger in the inside , the CH-R is not well positioned.
Change that theme music to something more upbeat, the one now is good for curing insomnia.
How the hell are you supposed to back out anywhere with that little visibility
hopefully Toyota brings the corolla cross to America .It won't have awd either, but may have hybrid verison.
This needs a EV version. It's not fair that Japan doesn't want to release the manual GR version in the U.S.
Why don't they put the Corolla 2.0 instead of the under powered 2.0, rather have the Corolla hatch.
Exactly! I can't believe Alex called this underpowered overstyled overpriced C-HR the "better Corolla". Puh-leeze!
Will the hybrid fit under the hood? I think I would still prefer the Rav 4
In Europe it's only available as hybrid
I have chr 2021 in KSA no front sensors no automatic daylight
I like the way it looks but my like my CX30 better. It's a luxury feel plus the Mazda has way more power. Also the CVT I've heard can be troublesome.
When it come to India ?
Hi Alex, my name is Luis Urbieta and even though no cars are perfect I love the videos. Why doesn't the CHR come with Leather?
It does in the "Limited" trim.
improve. Thanks
Because it's sbitbox
The only reason I am not considering the CHR is because it doesn't have a awd system. Had Toyota included it here in North America, it would have been a great car for me
C pillar from hell.
I don't think you are being fair to hell.
I see these all over the road in CA.
We don't have this in our country... I got the Corolla Cross
This would be the perfect crossover if it was AWD and had a sunroof just like the new 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross AWD
My thoughts exactly, it really needs a sunroof.
Yes a sunroof will it give it more light since the back windows are very small and leather seats would be a nice option.
we cant get the Yaris GR, so they should put the 1.6 turbo in this.
The 1.6 turbo and awd in this will sell like hot cakes...
If the Yaris GR came to the US, Honda would cry because it would lose big money for the Civic Type R.
Cute car definitely would choose this over a corolla
I have one but spoo need 4 wheeldrive
Never even mentioned the comparison you made in the title.
I believe that is the slowest 0-60 I have seen in quite awhile.
Slowest seller too!
@blacknester the Chevrolet and Buick sell about twice as many in North America. It is not a good value here.
I dig the aesthetics of this car...
@@notsure1135 you'll love the better selling Chevrolet Trailblazer! Probably cost much less too.
@@normt430 I am in Australia, that car ain’t here. Toyotas are stalwarts, I love how this looks.
I really wish that Toyota would make this vehicle available in hybrid form for the US market. Even the Corolla hybrid is available with a higher trim level in the neighboring Canadian market; why not here? I think Toyota is being a bit shortsighted in not making more of these options available to the US market.
Agreed.
Pass. I know you got 9.4 sec 0-60, but CD got 11.0 and MT got 10.1. These are all dangerously slow, at least where I live where merging onto highways can be full throttle affairs.
Why not at LEAST put in the updated 2.0 169HP from the Corolla.
It is all about price and MPGs. Getting the price right and hitting that 30 MPG number is very important for this segment. The C-HR is a cross over and is not as aerodynamic as the Corolla form factor and I believe the C-HR is a little heavier than the Corolla because there is physically more car there. Increasing the HP will bump it out of the 30 MPG combined range which is why Toyota offers the first party after market TRD Air Intake Kit which increases torque and horsepower but they don't factor it in with their MPG estimates of the car. The TRD Air Intake Kit allows the engine to breath better but you do give up some MPGs. We have the upgrade and it is well worth it.
i like how this vid still got 0 likes and 0 dislikes
I can't think of a single reason to buy this.
To me the Subaru Crosstrek is a much better value at a price range of $22K to $28K. More powerful, better ride, quieter, more space and, of course 4 wheel drive.
As small as that thing is it's MPG is criminal.
my dream car
It’s just counterintuitive. It’s basic a raised hatchback which is fine if it had space. It’s too tight just like the Mazda CX-3
Alex, Can we agree to call this a #CrossUnder ? I expect we won't wait too long for the Corolla Cross and Yaris Cross to meet Toyota's 'obligation' to the small CUV market. In the meantime, the Corolla hatch offers an extra 10 mpg, 25 extra hp, a manual option and much better visibility for less money. Lastly, the C-HR is very popular in Europe but so are French and Italian cars :-()
Sunroof?
Thanks for video!
Tho I really think this is the ugliest thing among sub compact SUVs...
Isn't this very similar to the Corolla hatchback? The Corolla is a much better choice.
Most of these lifted CUVs drive like crap, too, compared to their compact car versions. But try telling that to your average driver "I can't see waaahh"
CHR has only 0.8 inches more ground clearance than Corolla Hatchback, if the reasoning for people to buy CHR is because of ground clearance, then it doesn’t make much sense, because the difference is barely noticeable. I simply don’t understand the actual reason. Even though Corolla hatchback is also cramped, but at least better than CHR in other areas.
@@GoodMenstruationAttitude Drove both before I bought the CHR. Glad I went with the CHR. Prices of these went up, and forget about negotiating. They won’t.
Offering a hybrid CHR in the US would probably hurt Prius and Carolla hybrid sales.
As long as the check is payable to Toyota , why would they mind?
I’d rather get Corolla
I'm going for Corolla hatchback in 5 or 6 speed manual. Worried about CVT automatic.....
not for me i hate big screen monitor i like the old style before more upgrade you pay more more dollars also
What’s a purpose of chr?
Scare people.
The corolla hatchback manual is way better!
Why can't they just put the 2.5l drive train from the camry under the hood??
I see this car alot in NY. I can only imagine how many more I would see if it was AWD #toyota
12:08 Verbal ride score of A-, but posted as an A. Does it matter? Not really, except for gunners worried about a 4.0.
MY EYES OH MY GOD WHY WOULDN'T YOU WARN ME
I just wish they fixed the rear viability. Maybe perhaps add the rear camera mirror from the rav4.
The video from the back up camera on the 2019 versions and above are displayed in the infotainment screen in full screen so visibility has not been an issue for us in our C-HR.
@@StandingUpForBetter I wasn’t referring to the backup camera
If you look at top end rav4 models they have an lcd rear view mirror. That’s what I wish was added to the ch r. The lcd rearview mirror is not to be confused the backup camera
@@naveenthemachine Understood. The C-HR from 2017-2018 had that but it was only a corner of the review mirror and the image was not only tiny but low resolution. The digital mirror in the RAV4 is pretty nice. The RAV4 starts and a little over $26,000 and the C-HR starts at a little over $21,000. It all comes down to cost. The solution they came up with by having the LCD screen in the head unit serve as the back up screen monitor works very well and by having the review mirror as a secondary viewpoint the 2 actually work very well together without adding a huge cost.
@@StandingUpForBetter that’s what I was saying. The RAV4 does something identical to what the C8 is doing
@@naveenthemachine Yeah. It is pretty impressive. You can tell the RAV4 is high up on Toyota's priority list. I'm an old man so for me it is great to see these things I used to see on future concept vehicles like this digital mirror and touch screens make it into everyday production cars. When you think about it we are living in the future I thought of as a kid :)
They are nice cars
