Description: Toyota C-HR review<br/>£31,060 - £46,535<br/><br/>“If you like the mad looks of this second-generation C-HR, there's very little else to count against it”<br/><br/>Good stuff<br/><br/>Stands out, more practical than it looks, good control layout and screens, tidy road manners<br/><br/>Bad stuff<br/>Visibility poor in the back, stay away if you dislike hybrids<br/><br/>What is it?<br/>This is the second generation of Toyota’s C-HR, a mid-size crossover that started life in 2017 as a funky SUV commissioned by Toyota boss Akio Toyoda as a sort of experiment to see what the company could do. A toe in the water, with no expectation of how it might sell. <br/><br/>Much to the company’s own surprise it sold in far bigger numbers than expected. Up to 330,000 or so C-HRs a year rolled out globally, with customers sold on the blend of sensible shoes powertrains and funky styling.<br/><br/>Bit more pressure for the second one...<br/>You’d think so, but clearly Toyota hasn’t felt the need to play it safe. If anything, the newer one is even more out there than the original. Which is good, because it means the car stands out in a heavily congested part of the car market that includes the Nissan Qashqai, Seat Ateca, Citroen C3 Aircross and Ford Puma.<br/><br/>It slots into the Toyota range above the Aygo X and Yaris Cross. But it's smaller than the RAV4, which is quite a chunky thing these days. In most of the world there's now a thing called Corolla Cross, which is the same size as the C-HR but has a boxier outline for more interior space and outward vision.<br/><br/>It looks... pretty good.<br/><br/>It does, doesn’t it? The C-HR hits all the latest trends to go for a full house in design bingo: two-tone paints, contrasting roof, slimline LED headlights, aero-led styling and even this season’s must-have full-width rear light bar. Better aero helps economy at motorway speeds. But not much, because the frontal area has grown, and the wheels now go up to 20 inches.<br/><br/>Toyota says the C-HR is designed for people \
