The 2020 Toyota C-HR’s updated styling is less polarizing, and it now includes both Apple and Android smartphone support.
Pros Bold looks Lots of safety tech Soft ride Decent value
Cons Still some weird angles Dungeon-like rear seat Light on power So-so mpg
Toyota's smallest SUV receives a light styling refresh for 2020 in the form of an updated front bumper, grille, and headlamps, as well as new wheel designs. The base LE trim now comes standard with Android Auto capability, LED headlamps, and SiriusXM satellite radio; mid-range XLE models now come with front seatback pockets and sun-visor extensions. An eight-way power-adjustable driver's seat and adaptive headlamp system are now part of the Limited model's standard equipment list. The C-HR can be had in two new exterior colors: Supersonic Red and Hot Lava; a contrasting silver-colored roof is also now an option.
Pros Look-at-me styling, cheeky interior design, plenty of standard features.
Cons Infuriatingly slow, cramped back seat, rivals offer more cargo space.
Pros Excellent fuel economy and performance from turbocharged engine Ride quality expertly balances comfort and athleticism Many standard advanced technology and safety features Roomy cabin with high-quality materials
Cons Overly vigilant forward collision warning system is frustrating Slow-responding adaptive cruise control system Blind-spot camera is harder to use than a typical blind-spot monitor
PROS Spacious cabin Excellent value Excellent gas mileage Choices abound Mature, in the right ways
Cons Standard display screen ...and standard headlights Hatchback’s busy looks Coupe, Si off the menu this year
