Excellent truck, the Isuzu D-Max 3.0... less blah, blah, blah and more economy, better engine and robustness, and more comfort when driving

The whole "Toyotized" marketing thing is another story; it's a good vehicle, but it's given more fame than it deserves — very bouncy, unstable, I almost rolled one of them

I've had a Hilux 3.0, then a Mazda BT-50 2.2, but now an Isuzu D-Max 3.0... marketing won't fool me — body quality has dropped, electrical systems have many problems, and Toyotas have become more disposable in my view and according to five workshops I consulted... nothing like the Toyotas from 2015

Reviews Toyota C-HR

Owners generally report the Toyota C‑HR as an efficient, comfortable small crossover with a dependable feel and a modern, slightly futuristic design. Many praise its strong fuel economy, smooth ride—especially for rear passengers—good handling and reliability, while some point out the boot is a bit tight and overall practicality can feel limited for larger loads or more than two occupants. These impressions mostly come from city and commuter use, so long-distance or heavy-family needs might produce different priorities.

I own a C‑HR 2 — great handling. Average fuel consumption as of today (8,300 km): 4 L. City driving and commutes to work outside the city on a national road — 15 km one way.

It's very comfortable and smooth. Rear space and the trunk are a bit tight, but for two people it's fine. Super economical, pleasant to drive and very comfortable.
