200hp could be the sweet spot for this small sporty looking s.u.v but at the very least they need to upgrade the engine to match the power of the Corolla...

I looked at this car while looking at an corolla hatchback. Just the design itself was enough to make me look the other way and I didn't even look at the engine back then. Glad I averted this.

The new Yaris Cross is much more appealing than this. If you have $28,000 to spend there is a far superior RAV4 LE Hybrid waiting for you. This C-HR is popular in Europe but then again, so are French and Italian cars.

If this had a manual option and the new 2.0L with 169hp, I'd actually consider buying it. I love the funky styling and small size. But as it stands, the Corolla hatchback is a more compelling car. I really hope the rumours are true and they stick the GR Yaris powertrain under the hood.

I love how he tries to pretend that this is an objective and unbiased review, you don't like the CH-R, we get it dude.

I was reading that they are axing the C-HR for the new Toyota Corolla Cross-Over by 2021.... Not sure if it will come with AWD, but It will have the option manual option. I think that is why that the C-HR has no hybrid/awd/manual/sunroof... etc. I am sure that it will have more horsepower/torque.

He opened the center console but didn’t mention if it was spacious and it’s hard to see because it’s all black & dark. I need to decide between this & a Mazda CX-3. I can’t buy a car because I have back problems that make it hard to get into & out of the Mazda 3 or Toyota Corolla. Thanks for the review otherwise Sofyan.

@@theredline In all seriousness though, the C-HR really is a decent vehicle that is even underrated. It does bring in some pizzazz in the otherwise generic Subcompact Crossover segment, from its styling that still also brings in some geniune fun behind the wheel and decent practicality. It is a good value for the money, and I for one, would choose it over the HR-V. Hoping that AWD and Hybrid models soon show up.

Honda and Toyota seem to not care about quality as much a they used to. They’re not bad, but they’re just not as good as they used to be in the 1990s. Hyundai and Kia is becoming like the old Honda and Toyota. The sheet metal near the roof of my 2020 civic left dents after only a few times at the car wash.

Redline Reviews coming from the Toyota troll

Still looks amazing! I love the styling and the quirkiness! But I still won't buy it. No sunroof. No AWD. Tepid power train. I wish they would bring the hybrid version to the USA.

The Europeans may option this car to come with 2.0L hybrid producing 184hp, they also look better over there ;-; lucky Europeans/ seems more like it was built for the European market but it was brought to the us to see how well it sold 🤷🏾‍♂️

They should've used the same power train as the Rav4

At whose expense?

I may be in the minority but I like how it looks but I don't want to have to feel like I need to floor it to merge onto an interstate. My much smaller 2005 Acura RSX-X has 210 hp. Hard to double the size and take a big drop in power especially with an automatic transmission.

One word reliability. A naturally aspirated 4cyl Toyota engine it’s gonna last you way longer than anything with a turbo in it. I really don’t know what he expected from a 2L four-cylinder non turbo engine these are not race cars so it’s on par with anything else with the same type of engine. It’s a good looking car way better than anything else in the class. Some of the vehicles that he’s comparing it to I wouldn’t touch with a 10 foot pole Kia or Jeep 👎🏻. This car is definitely not for a family, but I don’t think that’s who Toyota marketing this car to. It’s for single folks looking for a good daily driver that gets decent gas mileage and gonna last you a long time. It’s actually a fun car to drive.

No way i could get in that back seat with no view and that plastic in my face---UGH! NOOOO!

I don't get why they don't add the 2.0 liter hybrid. It has 180 HP and does 0-60 in about 8 seconds..... Also gets good gas mileage.

Hei Sofian it’s a bloody little hybrid car. It’s 1,8 liter or two?

0-60 in 5.5sec is slow for me. Cant image the amount of hair i'll pull out if i had to drive this.

The funny thing is despite this being a Toyota it's been having some reliability issues.

I dont know. Honda and toyota does not seem to care about quality as much as they used to. Engine and transmission issues in both cars. Hyundai and Kia seem to be getting better while honda and toyota seem to not care like they did back in the 1990s. I have a 2020 Civic. The sheet metal on top of the doors by the roof area is so cheap and thin, IT LEFT DENTS only after a few car washes. Many other people with 2016 to 2020 civics are complaining about this too. My car also had zero rattles the first day I drove it, and now three months later has several rattles. My friend's old 2008 civic has zero rattles for the four years he had it and the fit and finish was better than my car. also been in some newer Toyota cars and they feel cheaper versus the older ones I've been in. are hondas and toyota one of the more reliable new cars you can buy? yes. but are they as good now in comparison to the 1990s? not really.

I work for extended warranty the most cars we get calls on are of course Nissan CVT sometimes on their 3rd replacement. Hyundai/Kia with their engines locking up or a rod knock. We really don't see much Toyota or Honda I think i only seen 2 cvts for Honda over years a couple from Toyota but as far as engine not really.

I have a 2016 Honda HR-V and yea it’s slow when merging but at least I have a ton of space, excellent on gas, and at least have sport mode😂🤷🏾‍♀️. Plus an HR-V is cheaper and you have an option to get a AWD🤣🤣

The 200 horsepower 2.5 naturally aspirated AWD Camry engine and power train would be perfect since it comes from Toyota's corporate parts bin .

aren't CVTs supposed to be able to optimize the engine's power at all times? why do they suck the life out of cars?

They CAN be good if they’re well-built and well-tuned. Accelerating uphill with a CVT, for example, is amazing since it’s smooth all the way without ever needing to shift gears. The problem usually occurs when you try to quickly accelerate or decelerate. You feel that so-called “rubberbanding effect” from the CVT having to suddenly change ratios (since it can’t just drop/upshift a gear like regular autos). This combined with poor response to you putting your foot down is what sucks the life out of cars with CVT’s (usually).

They need to put in the new 2.0 engine that's in the Corolla and also add AWD.
