The crossover market is flooded, and it can be hard to find a vehicle that stands out. Enter the Toyota C-HR. Highly futuristic and loaded with the latest technology, the C-HR is a glimpse into the future of auto-making. Here are four reasons why the 2018 C-HR may be the most stylish crossover on the market.
- Smooth Style Lines
One of the most distinctive elements of the C-HR’s design is the smooth style lines. C-HR stands for “coupe high rider,” and the smooth, sensuous style-lines evoke the sporty background of the coupe car design while still staying unique to the vehicle.
The C-HR incorporates both arcing lines and angular elements for a surprising yet beautiful juxtaposition that highlights the overall forms composing the vehicle. The C-HR manages to combine a number of different style elements without appearing clunky or poorly composed, allowing the freedom to explore distinctive styles without undermining the overall aesthetic.
- Elegant Contrast
The arcs and angles of the C-HR provide a level of contrast that’s unexpected in the crossover category, which is typically catered toward a more traditional approach to car design. Stylized yet cohesive, each way you look at the C-HR provides visual interest provided by contrasting elements carefully selected to provide both balance and intrigue.
The swooping hood of the vehicle culminates in a strong yet understated low-riding grille while the roof of the vehicle curves smoothly back into a sharp, angular tail end with uniquely shaped taillights and an extended hatchback trunk that houses the vehicle’s generous storage space. Capping the stylized trunk is an extended spoiler that adds extra streamlining and aerodynamics to the C-HR, plus added visual interest.
- Interior Design
The style doesn’t stop on the exterior. The interior of the C-HR combines a multitude of materials to create an overall cohesive design that is detail-oriented yet subtle. Interesting details are at every turn and curve, yet overall the interior of the C-HR is pleasing and takes a backseat to the driving experience.
The C-HR substitutes smoothly molded plastic for many traditional vehicle interior components, resulting in beautiful, uninterrupted style lines that complement the chosen interior colors. The windows are designed in a way that provides excellent views for both front and back seat riders. Drivers will appreciate the ease of seeing everything happening around them and minimized blind spots.
- Technology Integration
With new technology emerging every year, automakers have had to get creative about how to incorporate these new elements into the interior design. The visionaries behind the C-HR cabin created a stunning dashboard that smoothly integrates all the technology while retaining ease of access and defined components.
The 2018 C-HR is equipped with Toyota’s Entune 3.0 App Suite, which makes it easier than ever to listen to your favorite music or get directions without fumbling through buttons or cluttered touchscreens. Traditional buttons and dials help control features like climate control and other settings and these are also seamlessly integrated into the overall dashboard.
The 2018 C-HR is one of Toyota’s most interesting new vehicles. Prices start at $22,500 MSRP.
