Practical, nimble, and fun to drive. For rather small drivers up to 1.75 m there's plenty of space even on the back seat. Useful driver-assist systems, and Android Auto works well. Very economical in summer. In winter a lot of energy is used in the first five minutes to bring the battery up to 20°C, which makes consumption on short winter trips very high.

Toyota C-HR+

The Toyota C‑HR is a distinctive crossover that pairs bold, coupe‑like styling with a comfortable, composed ride suited to daily city and suburban driving. It appeals to buyers who value standout design, practical cabin packaging and a refined, easy‑to‑use experience rather than outright performance or rugged off‑road ability.
