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.
T-Cross offers just enough over a Polo to make it worth thinking about.
Pros Spacious and agreeable to drive Different to a Polo, Refined enough
Cons Less refined and more expensive than the car it’s based on. Low quality interior
The VW T-Cross is a compact yet roomy SUV which comes with loads of standard equipment. It doesn’t look as dramatic or feel quite as comfortable as some alternatives.
Pros Big boot Lots of passenger space Loads of standard equipment
Cons Noisy at speed Materials feel a bit cheap Alternatives look more exciting
The Volkswagen T-Cross is one of the class leaders in the small SUV sector.
PROS
