The 2020 Toyota C-HR’s updated styling is less polarizing, and it now includes both Apple and Android smartphone support.

Pros
Bold looks
Lots of safety tech
Soft ride
Decent value

Cons
Still some weird angles
Dungeon-like rear seat
Light on power
So-so mpg

Toyota's smallest SUV receives a light styling refresh for 2020 in the form of an updated front bumper, grille, and headlamps, as well as new wheel designs. The base LE trim now comes standard with Android Auto capability, LED headlamps, and SiriusXM satellite radio; mid-range XLE models now come with front seatback pockets and sun-visor extensions. An eight-way power-adjustable driver's seat and adaptive headlamp system are now part of the Limited model's standard equipment list. The C-HR can be had in two new exterior colors: Supersonic Red and Hot Lava; a contrasting silver-colored roof is also now an option.

Pros
Look-at-me styling, cheeky interior design, plenty of standard features.

Cons
Infuriatingly slow, cramped back seat, rivals offer more cargo space.
