The Toyota C-HR is a mid-sized SUV that rivals models such as Nissan Qashqai, Renault Kadjar and Peugeot 2008
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
