MotoMan heads to Texas on its 181st Independence Day to meet one of it’s newest residents: The 2018 Toyota CHR.. A Toyota that was to be a Scion but now is a Toyota again. During his time getting to know the Toyota Coupe High Rider, MotoMan learns a lot more than name, rank and serial number of engine output and driving dynamics of a new Toyota so in unusual fashion, he kicks off this TECH REVIEW with a special guest . . .

i think my 2011 corolla looks better… maybe it would look better in a different color… maybe….
I am 6’2″ tall, this car is not for me.
The 2 different models in pa are 23 something and 25 something. So its not overpriced.
super Matrix
you lost me with the cvt. the technology is not reliable enough yet. the crv went to cvt in 2014 which is why i spent my money on the old faithful drive train of the rav 2.5 L 4 with 6 speed auto. rock solid. the c hr brags 31 mpg when my rav gets 29. not a problem.
there is no rear view camera ?
Lol loved the intro… i was sold before the actual review xD
I was sold right up until he said no sunroof. Why not offer one Toyota? Sheesh
Why not put the A25A-FKS 2.5 4 cylinder that’s being used in the 2018 Camry as the base engine? It makes 203-206 HP and 184-186 Lbs ft of torque and gets 41 mpg hwy in that Large car. I imagine it would be a blast to drive and get great mpg with that power plant. I like the looks and the idea of the nice rear suspension setup, I only wish it had some more ooomph (power) to match those go fast looks and AWD to boot. I’d pay extra for that engine and AWD and the lovely 8 speed transmission Toyota developed in this package.
worst review !!!
the chief engineer works for toyota but drives a suburu at home. you don’t even drive a toyota at home then why should i buy ur car. looks like toyota’s version of a mazda cx5 cx7. toyota you so too late in making these crossover style.
Looks like a more dope Rav4
is this awd?……
cmon man we need AWD n Turbo like Japan….. Why u play us like that toyota.
Test drove one, slower than molasses with that CVT transmission.
Deserves some sort of sun roof and I really hate when they try hard to make cool or good feeling shift knob that looks manual and its only automatic
Just bought mine! Fully loaded and I love it!
Drive on Houston roads
Turkish car
Should of came manual and turbocharged
my car wished….if I have money this is the car that I want…
Looks like a HRV but a bit better looking
I have a Toyota Corolla 2017 SE I wanted to trade it in for this CHR but I got navigation sunroof touchscreen leather seats for the same price as the starting model C-HR
We paid $23,900 for a new 2016 Toyota Rav 4 LE AWD
Why would My wife and I buy a Toyota C-HR FWD for about the same cost?
do you think 144hp is enough for countryside..
It ‘s pitiful to see Toyota bringing us vehicles with so little functionality . None who looks like a NV200 in their product line up ( except in euro ) … instead they prefer to sell a CH-R base on look , or a big guzzler Sienna or monster truck like Tundra
Three different trims
1. Standard 15k to 17k: Sunroof/ only FWD/ Bluetooth/ horsepower 170/
2. Limited 18k to 22k: Tech package Panoramic sunroof/ 6 inch touch screen with backup camera/ push start & keyless entry/ heated seats & dual climate control/ lift gate/ horsepower about 190/ FWD OR AWD/
3. Turbo Edition 24k to 27k: Panoramic sunroof/ 8 inch touch screen with backup camera/ push start & keyless entry/ heated and cold seats/ dual climate control/ lift gate/ horsepower about 201 or 230 with Turbo/ FWD OR AWD/ manual or automatic/ stiffer suspension/no CVT engine/Quad exhaust
Apparently from other reviews I have read it handles very very well…so what it really needs is more power. Should be offered with at least 200 hp. I’d pay $1000 more for a more impressive engine
did i miss the part where he was driving it? must of
No manual transmission, no fun
Looks fast, but isn’t
I live in the U.S., and I was really thinking about buying a chr until I found out manual transmission is not an option. Not fair.
