The Toyota C-HR may not be the best choice for adults who spend a lot of time in the back seat. The rear legroom is limited, and the sloping roofline affects headroom. However, this hasn’t deterred buyers, especially those with young families. Additionally, Toyota now offers the slightly larger Corolla Cross in Europe for those who prioritize space over style.

To enhance the feeling of spaciousness in the back, engineers have introduced a new tinted panoramic roof that adds an extra 30mm of headroom. The C-pillar now has new window cut-outs for improved views. Furthermore, the rear door handles have been moved to a more conventional position on the rear doors based on customer feedback. These handles sit flush with the bodywork and pop out when pressed.

The boot size remains small, and Toyota has not provided specific details on its capacity or how much space is lost in the PHEV version due to the electric components beneath the floor.

In the front cabin, Toyota has focused on improving the perceived quality. The updated C-HR features a new 12.3-inch digital dial display and a new touchscreen infotainment system (8.0-inch as standard or 12.3-inch on higher-end models). The driver’s seating position is raised, typical of a crossover, and visibility is good. The seats in different trims incorporate recycled materials and are comfortable.
