    While space up front is very good, the second row isn\u2019t quite as impressive. Once you fold yourself through the small door aperture, head and legroom is only average for the class, feeling tighter at times thanks to those small windows, dark headlining and solid front seatbacks. All in, it creates a slightly claustrophobic feeling, even if it\u2019s not quite as cramped back there as it seems.\u00a0<\/p>\n


    \n<\/p>\n

    It\u2019s the driving experience where the C-HR scores highly, though. The ride quality is particularly impressive, with a flowing gate to body motions without feeling overly soft. The wheels are also well controlled, and together with the car\u2019s more rigid body, helps the C-HR\u2019s overall refinement and composure. However, time in higher grades with their larger wheels shows the ride deteriorates with every inch gained \u2013 up to 20-inches on the GR Sport.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    The fifth-generation 136bhp hybrid system in this case pairs a 1.8-litre four-cylinder with a small integrated electric motor and battery pack. Just like you\u2019ll find in many of Toyota\u2019s recent models, the car relies on the petrol engine less than you\u2019d expect given the tiny supporting battery, and equates to good low-speed performance, refinement and efficiency. Taking 10.2 seconds to hit 62mph, it\u2019s no firecracker, but the flipside is a very achievable 60.1mpg on the combined cycle, with a relatively low 105g\/km CO2 rating helping things along the way.<\/p>\n

    There is a caveat when pushing on, though, as the hybrid system\u2019s reliance on the CVT means in order to find any performance, the engine will weil and rev. As one of the few hybrid powertrains still using an un-stepped CVT, it makes driving at a faster pace feel somewhat out of the C-HR\u2019s comfort zone. It\u2019s best to keep things calmer and resist the temptation to dip into the car\u2019s outright performance.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    Which is a shame, because there\u2019s nothing inherently wrong about the way the C-HR goes around a corner. It feels relatively light-footed and composed, and while the steering is a touch light, it is precise without feeling nervous. In reality, the C-HR drives better than it needs to, but if you\u2019re looking for easy and relaxing get up and go, the smaller of the two hybrids has its limitations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
