You’ve had enough of the little sedan that you’ve been driving since college. It’s high time for an upgrade. Something with more space and a radio that actually works. But you also aren’t looking for a big, bulky SUV or a truck. If this sounds familiar, the crossover is the vehicle for you, but that still leaves you with so many options. Where should you start? How about with a fresh new crossover, a model that’s seeing its first year on the road: the Toyota C-HR. Here’s why the 2018 C-HR should be your next crossover.
Performance
When you’re considering a crossover, it’s because you want a vehicle that blends the power of larger cars with the handling of smaller, sportier ones. You won’t be disappointed by the C-HR. A two-liter inline four-cylinder Dynamic Force Engine with Valvematic technology delivers powerful performance without sacrificing fuel economy. In fact, the C-HR gets an impressive 27 miles per gallon in town and 31 on the highway. The sport-tuned front-end suspension, made of a MacPherson strut and SACHS dampers, ensures that you feel connected to the road and that your vehicle responds quickly. Double-wishbone suspension in the rear utilized SACHS shock absorbers for a smooth, comfortable ride.
For those who need a little thrill, switch the C-HR to Sport Mode for a sharper throttle and quicker acceleration. Once you try it, you may never leave Sport Mode.
Technology
You’ve dealt with outdated technology for long enough, and you won’t find anything of the sort in the C-HR. A 4.2-inch Multi-Information Display sits snug in the gauge cluster and provides information on fuel economy, outside temperature, driving modes, and trip information. The standard seven-inch touch-screen display gives you access to the radio and all the connectivity features made possible by Bluetooth connectivity. Battle bright high-beams with an auto-dimming rearview mirror with an integrated backup camera.
In addition to entertainment and convenience tech, the C-HR also includes Toyota Safety Sense, a safety technology package guaranteed to protect you and your passengers. The package includes dynamic radar cruise control, a pre-collision system, lane departure alert, and much more. On many vehicles, features like that are only options, but on the C-HR, they come standard.
Interior
One key reason you’re looking for a crossover is for the increased space. Not only will drivers and passengers find plenty of leg and head room no matter what their age, but the 60/40 split rear seats make it easy to create more room for more cargo. Plus, with dual-zone automatic climate control and available driver and passenger heated seats, everyone will stay comfortable no matter what the weather or the duration of the drive.
Don’t settle for another day with your old vehicle when an efficient, powerful, and innovative crossover is just around the corner, calling your name. Be one of the first to drive this brand new, fresh off the line vehicle. If you have more questions about the C-HR or want to see one for yourself, come down to Priority Toyota Chesapeake, today.
