Spectacular review, Nolan! I personally really find the styling of the CH-R to be pretty attractive looking. It undeniably looks like no other vehicle in its class (which may be a good thing or a bad thing to certain people). I honestly appreciate Toyota deciding to design this vehicle in a more angular, youthful and 'edgy' way. Afterall, this model was projected to be in the Scion lineup before the brand became defunct. Nevertheless, I find it pretty considerate of Toyota to offer 3 trim levels for 2019 (with a base model that starts at about $1,500 less than the base 2018 model). Especially since most people shopping in this segment are on a budget... Lastly, I really like the diamond accent cues splashed all around. It definitely adds to the more "style-forward" approach of the C-HR's interior. All in all, I would probably wait for the 2019 model if I was in the market for a sub-compact SUV, though. This is mainly because I would take advantage of those added trim levels as well as the much needed updated infotainment system. Once again, great video with very well presented information! From one car reviewer to another, keep up the great work, Nolan!

I've had my 1.2 litre turbo for a year and a half and I couldn't be happier with it.

One of the best reviews on the Chr! Enjoyed every minute of it!

I appreciate your review, which is pretty spot on. I have had a 2019 C-HR for 5 months, and I love it! The complaint about acceleration is legitimate, but I find sport mode to be a better option, especially on the freeway. The small windows in the backseat would be problematic for kids, but I rarely have anyone in the back. It handles very well, I love its edgy looks, and I it's really fun to drive. I am glad I have the 2019 model.

I got mine last week, it sets apart from the competition it terms of design. Although some people complains about lack of power and size, we must remember it is not an SUV per se. If I ever wanted an SUV I would've gone for one, if I ever wanted a fast car, I would've bought a Mustang which is within my budget, so the C-HR is what it is and I love it. When it comes to options, downsides are the choice of red here in China, which is something like maroon, and there is also no hybrid version.

I’d have to pass on this car, the 0-60 was painful to watch/listen to... but I gotta say what I like about your reviews is you are a ‘glass half full’ guy and you always find the positives such as the handling on this car. Look forward to the next one 👍🏼👍🏼

Love the look. Its better than all the other boring small suvs

Cool car with nice handy features. Not a big fan of small SUVs/Crossovers/CUVs but there is a good customer market for this class of vehicles. Great review as always, keep it up Nolan!

Great vid. Thinking about the 2019 possibly. Will stay tuned for your reviews. Well done

Thanks for an honest and thorough review, so appreciate it!

it's beautiful...scion was made to have radical/edgy cars (had their gen 1 '05 xB, and for 2+ years I had people coming up to my car asking what it was, etc.), and this was a return to that concept as they weren't selling a lot of cars before they the scion divison got returned into Toyota. My brother bought the xle prem, and I've ridden and driven, and yeah i have to agree it's NOT a slug as a lot of the reviewers are saying, repeat NOT a slug... oh, do you see the vortex generators on the front side of the driver and passenger side mirrors and on both sides just before the rear tail lights)...scion also had it on the iM I believe, and good that they are pushing the limits...

Love the car design. Really want to own one for daily use not for high revv. But for now, i keep it on hold and wait to see the 2nd generation. 1st gen normally is like experimental to me. Hope they will improve the engine power and gve more spec options.

I just went looking at the 2019 model and I love it especially for its price and how it looks. The car doesn’t deliver that much power to really compliment its sportish look and that’s the only downside for me. The viability on the 2019 has improved from this model some. I didn’t check under the hood if the car had it but when I went on the Toyota website later on, you have the option to install a TRD air intake for $400 which will slightly help the power in this car. I’m highly considering purchasing the 2019 XLE for a daily car for sure. Very unique design

The CHR alerts speed and red light cameras when approaching. The voice recognition warns you if you're speeding and tell you to slow down...plus it shows your fuel efficiency and how economically your driving...

The appearance is very attractive

I am a 28 F and love the style of this car, should I get it? Someone please tell me that its reliable and good on gas?

Excellent review thank you. I’ve test driven the UK hybrid and love it but my partner has been concerned about the blind spots. I hope after seeing your review he might give it a second chance.

I love my 2018 XLE Premium Blue/white CH-R. My first car too

Very sporty 😍😍

I like the look/styling. It's the reason I'm here looking into it. But from what I've learned, I'd definitely be more interested in the 2019. I really wish it had a dropdown armrest with cupholders in the center of the backseat, though.

You did a great Job. I'm going to give it a ride very soon. Looking for my sons first car.

Great review! looking to buy the 19 model next month, I wonder if sunroof is available for the limited trim, im in Canada btw

Thanks for the great review and all the useful info. I'm worried about the blind spot. Are the mirrors effective in all situations? How about when you merge into traffic from a side road?

Well i now own a 1.8 excel hybrid, switched from an older mercedes clk 320, the difference in running costs is equivelant to a small mortgage.

The Sport mode is so disincentive everytime you drive, you have to scroll through drive mode and automatically switch to normal mode if you restart your journey. I leave alone in economy mode.

I’m okay with the power not a fan of the fuel economy but I’m really concerned about the visibility in this car. There are many blind spots and I heard you can only rely on the mirror and blind spot monitoring to change lanes , is that a big deal

In Australia, we have two models available: CHR (standard) which available in fabric seats and FWD (2WD). Koba is top of the line model, AWD and leather seats and Toyota safety systems. Both models powered by 1.2 Turbocharged petrol engine and LED taillights. You can customised the roof too. Please see links below: www.toyota.com.au/main/C-HR. I have all Black coloured KOBA, it's a delightful car to drive.

Donde se abre el maletero desde adentro del auto?

I feel like this is definitely a niche vehicle. Not one I think I'd spend my coins on, willingly. However, I would drive one, if someone gave it to me. Lol!

I really want to love this CUV but god it is dog awfully slow. I’ve had lower HP cars like the Yaris but this one takes the cake and fuel economy isn’t really that impressive. Toyota needs to lighten this CUV by 200 pounds with the new Corolla hatchback motor plus put the manual.

Hi mr. prime. If you were looking to buy a car would you buy a Camry or a Chr?

Do you know when 2019 version will be available?

144hp 27/31mpg vs 203hp of the new camry that can do 29/40 mpg......why would i buy a chr?????????????

Nice color, otherwise not for me. Too 'edgy'.

👍👲✌ Nice car💟

It's under powered and the mpg is ng.

Did you have some CHR hybrid test ?

2.0 liters only.... no AWD... no possibility to opt for better... What I want is a small crossover with at least 170hp, NO TURBO, and AWD... there is nothing affordable with those prerequisites... we have to look at Lexus, at 41000$, for those criterias... the Hyundai Kona has all of this, but it's a 1.6L turbo.... I want an engine that can go 250,000 km without issues... so turbos... NO! The segment kinda sucks...

Would you recommend chr?

Definitely needs more horsepower

2:29 can little kids reach that door handle?

Still no awd

If our cousins in US and Canada thinks 2.0 lt CHR brutality slow, come down under to Australia and try 1.2 lt Turbo petrol engine how slow our CHR.

15:23 😂😂

Looks pretty like nissan juke 😁don't get caught sitting in this (car)thing please Sorry about the comment

still no AWD. pass !

You have a very incorrect driving position, so even if you like driving like that, your commentaries should be based on the correct one.

For me the design is too damn origami much like many japanese auto companies. No thanks

Your commentary was boring.

lol. Why a 2 liter ??.. (Stupid).. I'll go for a Mazda.

Boring review my friend
