Welcome to my C-HR video for 2022! Since 2018, this unique family member has stood in its own segment, offering superior handling to it’s sister, the Corolla. With it’s higher ride height, oversized body features, and coupe-like appearance, this crossover makes a strong statement on all roads, despite it’s smaller size.
In this video we will cover the exterior, engine and drivetrain, then make our way inside to talk about the space and style in the 2022 Toyota C-HR XLE. All C-HRs in the USA are Front-Wheel-Drive mated to a 2.0L 4 cylinder engine. Overseas, a turbo variant can be found.
We will go over some of the features unique to this sensible crossover, then we will drive and discuss where it shines bright, and also where not so much.
Don’t forget to 👍🏼like this video if you enjoyed it, and please share it with someone who would benefit from it! ☝🏼(subscribe to be first to see more new content as it comes!)

I understand this car design isn't for everyone. But having it for myself. I love it! This is the exact color and model I have. It's beautiful! Love this review. It gives it a really good perspective and all of its neat features. Now it might be because I'm a young owner of this car. But the design is so cool. It looks sporty if you see it that way. And I think even though the back can feel claustrophobic to some. It is my favorite part of this car. I love to have the feeling of having kind of my own space and feel like I have really good privacy to just lay back and relax. Overall. Love this car and I would love to drive it around some more!

I rented a hybrid version of this on the Island of Crete in Greece. This car was a pleasant surprise. Was able to handle 3 pieces of luggage with 4 passengers. I think it got over 40 mpg. Never knew this model existed! Was one of the more powerful rental cars on the island. Handled mountain driving without a problem. (with air conditioner on)

Great review Brian, I’ve always liked these for it’s different and standout styling. The CHR is a niche vehicle that I personally think the style of it was too radical for the average Toyota buyer and yes this was originally slated as a Scion til the brand was phased out unfortunately. Due you know if there will be another generation or will the Corolla Cross ultimately replace this? Thankyou!

I got mine a few months ago. I know this car was supposed to be a Scion (I think that’s how you spell it?) and meant to speak to younger buyers. I’m just beginning to be an adult. Seems like it still holds true to that label. Anyway, I love it. I can say that it’s not the most fast or best performing compared to other Toyota line ups. But what it does bring is the funky style and unique personality. Personally, I don’t mind not having a high performing car. I just wanted a reliable car that sorta stands out from others. CHR is just that! And speaking of the back seats and the doors especially. Maybe it’s just me but the part that sold me on this one is the door in the back. I’m an introvert and what do most introverts like to do? Be in their own space and just chill while listening to music or reading or just reflecting on life. Sometimes I go to the back seat just to sit back and listen to music while I do all that thinking and reflecting. It just makes me feel safe and cozy like I’m in a cool safe cave. Anyway, I won’t ramble on anymore. But the point I’m making is that this car is worth it if you only just need and or want something that it just going to get you from point A to point B in a very efficient way and that still gives you a smooth ride and gives you a good talking piece from its styling. 🍀

Great C-HR review (and I’ve watched them all!) with some useful insights that I’ve not heard elsewhere, eg I didn’t already know that the front logo has the distance sensor or about the location of the east access oil dipstick. We only have black interiors in the UK, so I was fascinated by your beige one. As for the diamonds, my new 1.8 litre hybrid (when ordered) is definitely going to be known as Shirley (ref Bassey, ‘Diamonds are Forever’) …

I own a CHR and the only thing that I do not like is the interior storage it’s adequate for a single person, but when you start getting more than one person in the vehicle there’s hardly even room for another person to have a large drink doesn’t fit in any of the cup holders. Do not recommend this vehicle for families or if you’re going to have a lot of other people in the vehicle on a regular basis. It drives and handles very nice and excellent mpg. The electric adjustable seats on the limited editions are very comfortable some of the best seats on any vehicle I’ve ever owned. For a 2L 4cyl it has plenty of pep, I don’t have any issue with lane merge or getting up to speed, but you won’t be burning rubber in this car so if that’s what your looking for go with something with more torque. He’s 💯 right it a cooler looking Corolla that handles a bit better than others cars in its class. If you’re thinking about one of these go rent one or test drive it thoroughly it’s definitely not a performance vehicle so you’ll be let down if that’s what you’re purchasing it for. I do not regret buying a CHR and the value has held I can sell it now for more than I paid in 2020.

Awesome review!, quick question tho, the black emblem can be set by the Toyota Dealer or I have to customize it on my own? I own the top-end version of the C-HR but it’s over here in the Middle East. Maybe you have any idea regarding the double tap to roll the windows down, black emblem, floor mat and the sequential turn signals?
@brianruperti Жыл бұрын
Thank you. The dealer can do the black emblems for you. For the double tap and sequentials I’m not too sure sorry

Let me ask you. I am looking at these cars as I have a totaled car from floods. I read that this car is discontinued. Is it worth it to buy now as insurance prices might be higher because will we be able to find parts?

Not sure how that would affect insurance. Are you considering other Toyota models?

Hello. Cars are not supposed to shake so I would recommend bringing it in to service asap to be checked out.
@renadmahmoud9697 2 жыл бұрын
Thank you for your quick reply, I have sent it to the service and they mentioned there is nothing wrong (although I have owned it for 6 days only) They suggested to have a test drive with another car to make sure that other new cars don’t shake Will update you on the situation

I actually owned a juke before my CHR they look quite different. The only thing similar are the rear door handles. The juke is was more round looks like a frog on wheels. The CHR has more of a sports car look/feel the Juke looks way more like an suv.

The 184 bhp 2 litre gen 4 hybrid system is available here in UK / Europe. I've not seen any announcements yet of the newer gen 5 hybrid power units being fitted in to the C-HR but it's still a bit early in the year for next model year C-HR announcements.
