Toyota C-HR compact crossover pictures

Practicality was considered less of a design priority for the C-HR than style and driver appeal

The name C-HR stands for Coupe High Rider, in reference to its tall but sleek shape

Its striking looks come with a reduction in interior space - particularly in the rear

Despite the striking styling, there are hints of RAV4 in the C-HR's styling

The interior is substantially more stylish than other Toyota models currently on sale

The raised driving position is a defining characteristic of SUVs like the C-HR

The use of colour lends a fun and youthful appearance

Hybrid models are fitted with a CVT-type automatic gearbox which is noisy

The instruments are clear and easy to rear; rev counter is replaced by a power gauge in hybrid models

Most models feature heated front seats
