What is most striking about the Toyota C-HR is how unordinary it is and how it's a radical step away from what we've come to expect from the Japanese manufacturer.

With its collection of sharp lines, curved sheet metal and pointy angles, the C-HR is certainly striking to look at and a fresh face for Toyota. The sloping roofline and tapered rear windows give off a very unique, coupe-like appearance, which is quite unlike the rest of its segment.

The C-HR comes with a comprehensive suite of equipment and safety technologies, too. It is packed with the latest Toyota Safety Sense gizmos, which include Lane Departure Alert,

Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Automatic High Beam, and Pre-Collision System.

The C-HR also feels more grown-up from behind the wheel, and almost European. The suspension is well-damped and impressively pliant, soaking up bumps better than many of its rivals. Its steering is also heavier and offers better feel on the roads.

The C-HR's engaging looks and drive will certainly reach out to a new group of buyers looking for something more unorthodox. At the same time, it allows you to embrace a very unique offering - without losing the appeal of a sensible Toyota.
