Limited 4dr Front-Wheel Drive Sport Utility
2021 Toyota C-HR
The 2021 Toyota C-HR is a front-wheel-drive hatchback with racy looks and a small footprint. It may look like a future SUV to some, but it's a stylish economy car at its roots. For 2021 there's a new Nightshade edition, and the standard safety equipment adds road-sign recognition and pedestrian detection.
The C-HR uses a 144-horsepower 2.0-liter inline-4, mated to a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). The performance is relaxed, with a polished ride, weighty steering, and moderate acceleration. The EPA rates it at 27 mpg city, 31 highway, 29 combined.
It's snappy to look at but the C-HR's hatchback roofline cuts down on rear-seat head room, as well as rearward vision. Leg room in the back seat is also on the sparse side.
The NHTSA gives it five stars in safety. Every C-HR gets automatic emergency braking, automatic high-beam headlights, active lane control, and adaptive cruise control as standard. Blind-spot monitors come on the XLE and Limited editions, which are needed because the C-HR has thick roof pillars that limit its rearward view.
The IIHS rates the standard LED headlights 'Poor,'? while the Limited model gets 'Good'? units.
