The Toyota C-HR is a Hatchback in Disguise

The Toyota C-HR isn’t much larger than most of the hatchback models that used to be a prevailing feature of the automotive landscape.

Where have all the hatchbacks gone? They aren’t gone, these cars that used to be simple, small, cars that were low to the ground have simply grown and been lifted a little.  Because we want smaller crossover SUVs, the market has responded in kind, and nearly every automaker has at least one subcompact crossover that could easily be a hatchback if it was a bit lower to the ground.

The Toyota C-HR Has a Lot of What You Want

The name, Toyota C-HR, appears to have little to offer an explanation unless you extrapolate it. The name actually stands for Compact High-Rider which is the right description of what this vehicle happens to be. Originally, the C-HR was going to be the next generation of the Scion sub-brand models, but Scion is no more. Now, this small and active SUV is one that offers you the build you want on the same platform as the Corolla Hatchback but it’s more than what the Corolla has for you.

The C-HR stands four inches taller than the new Corolla and it’s only about an inch longer to give you a bit more in size than what you see in the compact car we’ve admired from this brand. The rear seat is a bit tight for three people, but it can be done, and this SUV is easy to admire with its angular shape and aerodynamic style that makes sense for you to enjoy the drive. The rear opens like a hatchback to offer you an easy to access cargo area that has what you need when you take this vehicle out on the road.

Not as Much Space

When it comes to the size of the compact Toyota C-HR you’re going to realize this SUV isn’t as large as some of the massive models in the class of SUVs that you’re used to. This impressive and small model is one that brings you the benefits of excellent fuel mileage, easy parking, small car driving, and a long list of features, even though it’s one of the smallest crossover SUVs that you’re going to find for the drive you need to make on a daily basis.

Hatchbacks Have Grown; Just Look at the Toyota C-HR

When you look at the Toyota C-HR, it’s easy to see that this is now a new hatchback and likely the future of the hatchback market for the future. These models may even need to grow to be hot hatches for the future in order to become the active and impressive models that we can enjoy when we want a small vehicle to experience on the road. Take a look at the C-HR and realize this is where this part of the market is headed as you make this the new subcompact crossover SUV that you want to drive.
