2017 Toyota C-HR vs Honda HRV

May 26, 2017

The new Coupe High Rider, as Toyota calls it, is here to challenge other compact SUVs. How does it compare to the Honda HRV? What makes it a better fit? Here’s what we think. Decide for yourself. You’ll find the newest Toyota at McKinnon Toyota dealer serving Montgomery AL.

Personality
Whether inside or out, the C-HR simply has more personality than the HRV. Outside you’ll notice a more assertive, coupe-like look with the higher stance of a utility vehicle. Inside there’s a diamond pattern in the speaker surrounds, climate controls, and headliner. Placing key instrumentation in reach, the dashboard angles toward the driver. In the MeZone, the driver enjoys a racecar-influenced slender steering wheel and a 4.2-inch MID screen. Schedule a test drive.

Cabin Smarts
You could say the C-HR is just smarter than the HRV. A chamfered headliner slants up to give the second row more headroom. Foot well cubbies give backseat riders a place to stretch. The front seatbacks are scalloped for extra kneeroom. Quieting the C-HR ride, generous insulation has been applied everywhere, even in nontraditional places such as the A-pillars, ceiling and door trim.

Standard Safety
The HR-V has six airbags while the C-HR has ten. Furthermore, the C-HR is another Toyota with standard crash avoidance features. Only this compact SUV has an autobrake with pedestrian warning and collision watch. It also has a lane watch with related assist function. The SUV’s adaptive cruise control, another standard, regulates speed, allowing you to use it in busy traffic. The special high beams regulate their light to match oncoming traffic requirements.
