The crossover is loaded with a ton of safety equipment
Safety and After Sales Service – The 2018 Toyota C-HR has scored a 5-star overall safety rating from the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration). That aside, the crossover also gets 10 airbags (yes, you heard that right!), ABS with EBD and BA, Vehicle Stability Control and Traction Control. Also, as part of the Safety Sense P package, you also get Active Cruise Control, pre-collision warning with automatic braking and pedestrian detection and lane departure warning with steering assist. The Japanese carmaker’s after sales service is very good and that leaves with no room for complaints at all.

The C-HR should be on your purchase list if and only if looks and safety are your priorities
Verdict – To sum it all up, the Toyota C-HR clearly aimed at the millennial has very few armours up its sleeve, i.e. looks and safety and a couple of chinks in that same armour. Neither does it excite while driving nor does it pack the required features a millennial today desires. Having said that, if you’re looking for a vehicle primarily for city commutes and want it to stand out instantaneously with its ravishing design and of course, make your neighbourhood feel envious about you, then you won’t go wrong picking the C-HR.

The aggressively-styled rear angle of the C-HR may not be to everyone’s taste
What’s Cool
* The C-HR’s styling offers the car a distinct personality.
* The interior is quirky but well-loaded.
* It gets a ton of safety features along with a 5-star rating.
What’s Not So Cool
* The car doesn’t perform as well as it looks
* The handling of the car leaves a lot to be desired
* The rear seats do not offer adequate space
Alternatives: – Maruti S-Cross, Renault Captur, Ford EcoSport
