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.
The 2018 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid ranked #8 in Compact SUVs. Currently the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid has a score of 8.3 out of 10 which is based on our evaluation of 25 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.
Pros Terrific mpg ratings Lots of cargo space Comfortable, spacious seats Lots of standard driver assistance features
Cons Uninspiring cabin materials Lower safety ratings than some rivals
The Hybrid can now be had in a new LE base trim level, further lowering its point of entry. The SE also gains 0.4 inch of ground clearance.
PROS Great fuel economy for a compact crossover Small price premium over standard RAV4 One of the biggest, more useful cargo areas of any compact crossover Advanced safety and driver aids come standard
CONS Real leather seating is not available Noticeable shudder when gas engine kicks in Less useful interior storage as well Interior more utilitarian in look and feel than those of competitors
Its angled headlamps and sharply creased bodywork give the RAV4 an assertive presence, but don’t be fooled—under the skin, it’s a practical, comfortable, and easygoing ute. A 176-hp 2.5-liter four and a six-speed automatic are standard with either front- or all-wheel drive. The all-wheel-drive hybrid returned 31 mpg in our testing. A 6.1-inch infotainment system is standard on LE, SE, and XLE trims; Limited models get a 7.0-inch unit. An all-new RAV4 hits showrooms before the end of 2018.
Pros Standard active-safety features, supremely practical, impressive towing ability.
Cons Subpar fuel economy, inferior infotainment, all-new model is imminent.
