Toyota C-HR Reviews are now available

The head-turning C-HR is a worthwhile addition to the fiercely fought compact crossover class. It's not quite as practical as its mainstream rivals, but it makes up for this with its distinctive styling, classy cabin, grown-up driving dynamics and decent value for money. However, unless you really want to save on tax, we'd steer clear of the slightly disappointing hybrid in favour of the sweet and eager 1.2-litre model.

Decent to drive, generously equipped and the hybrid version makes a lot of sense as a company car. It's just a shame the Toyota C-HR isn't cheaper to buy and bigger in the back.

Its extraordinarily bold exterior is married to an interior that features equally surprising elements and, to top it all, Toyota has worked hard to give the C-HR a much more satisfying driving experience than we're used to from this fundamentally sensible Japanese manufacturer.

Toyota has built a genuinely interesting and engaging vehicle here - and while the Qashqai will hardly be quaking in its boots, the C-HR is certainly a breath of fresh air in the rather staid family crossover segment. Standard kit levels are keen, with an emphasis on safety and technology; only base-spec examples miss out on sat-nav, and you can have an intricately engineered JBL hi-fi system as an option.

Toyota took a risk, and it's paid off.
