The 2020 Toyota C-HR can be a case study in untapped potential. When the 2020 Toyota C-HR debuted in the fledgling subcompact-crossover class, it benefitted from sporty handling, plenty of standard features, and youthful styling. Unfortunately, none of these advantages could outweigh the C-HR’s greatest liability: an anemic engine and transmission pairing. Put bluntly, the C-HR is one of the slowest vehicles we’ve tested in any class.
The 2020 Toyota C-HR doesn’t toe the company line like its showroom stablemates. Across the floor sits the comparatively conventional Corolla hatchback and RAV4 crossover, between which the C-HR slots with its funky looks and quirky personality. It’s wild styling, coupe-like body, and bright exterior-color choices will earn the 2020 C-HR plenty of admiring looks, but from behind the wheel, Toyota’s smallest SUV is a bore. Its four-cylinder engine provides little power and acceleration is uninspiring at best; the C-HR is a front-wheel-drive-only affair with an all-wheel-drive appearing nowhere on the options sheet.
