Used 2022 Toyota C-HR Nightshade for sale 

A Nightshade edition caps the changes to the C-HR- The Car Connection

The 2022 Toyota C-HR will be offered in four trim levels: LE, XLE, Nightshade Edition, and Limited. The pricing details have not been revealed yet but we expect the 2022 C-HR to start somewhere around $22,200. It still gets the same powertrain setup while FWD is the only drivetrain offered. The C-HR comes with a decent list of standard features. 

Very few options are available for the C-HR. The steel wheels in the LE trim can be replaced with alloy wheels for $365. Two performance upgrades i.e. TRD air intake and lowering springs cost $395 and $265 respectively. Unlike its rivals, Toyota stocks the C-HR with ample standard active safety features.

 The midlevel XLE variant is our recommendation. For not much more money than the base LE model, you get keyless entry, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and 18-inch alloy wheels. We also recommend TRD air intake that costs $395 extra. This can improve the C-HR's performance.

Its four-cylinder engine simply can't muster enough power to get the C-HR going with any authority- Edmunds

The sole engine for the Toyota C-HR is a 2.0L four-cylinder that puts out 144 hp and 139 lb-ft. of torque. These numbers are decent on paper but they don't translate the same in the real world. The engine comes paired with a CVT that sends adequate power to the front wheels. Sadly, the AWD configuration is not available for the C-HR. 

The C-HR comes with a strut suspension in the front and a multi-link suspension in the back. Therefore, the C-HR absorbs most of the bumps on the road to keep the ride quality comfortable. The steering is accurate and feels well-connected to the road. The C-HR also handles really well with minimal body roll but the grip levels are not that great. 

The C-HR will disappoint you in terms of performance due to its lackluster acceleration. It completes the 0-60 MPH run in 11 seconds flat while the quarter-mile distance is covered in 18.4 seconds. It struggles to merge into highways or pass other vehicles. The brakes, on the other hand, perform as expected. It takes 122 feet to halt from 60 MPH.

The Hyundai Kona sweeps the floor with its quick acceleration. The Honda HR-V's performance stats are also decent for the power it makes. Surprisingly, the Nissan Kicks overtakes the C-HR despite housing an underpowered engine. Had the C-HR been fitted with an energetic powertrain, it would definitely keep the race alive.

Sometimes, an uninspiring engine will redeem itself with stellar fuel efficiency- Carbuzz

The Toyota C-HR's powertrain doesn't perform well on the road but shines in terms of fuel economy. According to the EPA, it returns 27 MPG in the city, 31 MPG on the highway, and 29 MPG combined. Although these ratings don't stand out in the segment, they are quite respectable for the class. 

With 13.2 gallons of fuel tank capacity, the C-HR can manage up to 356 miles in the city and 409 miles on a highway. You can expect a combined range of 383 miles before you visit the pump station. That puts it right in the middle of the competition. However, there are rivals that offer a much better range. 

*2021MY data  used for reference

The Nissan Kicks is the most fuel-efficient car in its class, period. It also gets the smallest tank due to which its low range is worrisome for fuel-conscious people. The Hyundai Kona is slightly more efficient than the Honda HR-V and therefore, its range is also better. The C-HR sits in the last place in terms of fuel economy but thankfully, its range is not that bad.

While the C-HR is cozy for two, the rear seat is less so, due in part to a sloping roofline that restricts headroom- CarsDirect

On the inside, we don’t expect bigger changes either. Therefore, you may count on the same interior layout from the outgoing model, which looks good and utilizes some pretty nice materials. Apart from that what strikes the most is the angular design cues all around the cabin which blends well with the overall dash. The steering wheel comes wrapped in leather on top trims. 

Only the top-end Limited trim gets leather seats while the rest of the models come with cloth upholstery. The front seats are spacious and comfortable. Only the driver's seat features electric adjustment but the seating position is excellent. Head and legroom at the front are good while space at the back is acceptable for normal-sized adults. But still, it's less than the competition.  

*2021MY data  used for reference

One of the main reasons for the C-HR's low ranking against its rivals is due to poor practicality. It offers 19.1 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats and 37 cubic feet if you fold those seats flat. Those numbers are the lowest in the class. Every C-HR comes with an 8-inch touchscreen fitted atop the dashboard. Connectivity features such as Amazon Alexa, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay are standard. 

Visibility towards the screen is great as it is placed high on the dashboard. The system is easy to get a hang of and the available physical buttons make it even easier to operate it while on the go. A 6-speaker stereo fulfills the duties of entertainment while you're bored. Strangely, HD radio is an optional feature on all but the base trim. Some other cabin highlights are: 

• Leather multi-function steering wheel
• Proximity keyless entry
• Ambient lighting
• Dual-zone automatic climate control
• Push-button start
• 8-way power driver's seat
• 8-inch touchscreen w/ smartphone integration
• 6-speaker stereo
• Satellite radio
• Voice recognition

The styling of the Toyota C-HR subcompact SUV/crossover is dynamic and futuristic- Kelly Blue Book

Funky and bold are proper words to describe the Toyota C-HR's design. Its exterior styling brings it up another level with deep, distinctive body lines forming a striking silhouette. There is a lot going on right from the front. There are lines and surfaces going in every direction. It's got a huge grille down below while the headlights are stacked on the top of the fenders. To support its funky design, the C-HR sits at 5.9 inches above the ground, which is lower than its rivals. 

On the side, there is a character line that starts from the front fender and runs down the entire vehicle, and pops back up. The floating roofline and available big alloy wheels along with the chunky cladding that runs around the body give its more rugged look. It gets a wide wheelbase for a stable ride while its lengthy profile can be troublesome for some while parking. At the back, you get a cool transom above the license plate and the taillights are mounted off of it, which looks pretty wild.

The high ground clearance of the Honda HR-V makes it easy to ride over high bumps. The Nissan Kicks weigh the lowest among the bunch at 2,686 pounds. This also helps in its fuel economy. At 165.6 inches, the Hyundai Kona's overall length is the smallest here. Therefore, maneuvering it at tight turns will be easy. Some other exterior features are:

• 17/18-inch wheels
• LED headlights & taillights
• LED fog lamps
• LED DRLs
• Puddle lamps
• Power-folding, heated exterior mirrors
• Rear roofline spoiler
• Black grille
• Black fender lip moldings
• Black rocker panels

The C-HR is well-stocked with passive and active safety systems- Carbuzz

Only NHTSA has rated the 2022 Toyota C-HR and gave it four out of five stars. IIHS is yet to rate it but the outgoing model earned the Top Safety Pick award as it received the highest rating of 'Good' rating in all crash tests. It is likely that these ratings will be carry-forwarded for the 2022 model as there are no structural changes. 

This small SUV is complemented with a total of ten airbags, which is really good. Furthermore, the Toyota Safety Sense 2.5 is standard on every C-HR. This means that this vehicle is well-stocked with safety features. Blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert are found on all but the base trim. Some other features include:

• Rearview camera
• Forward collision warning
• Automatic emergency braking
• Pedestrian detection
• Lane departure warning
• Lane keep assist
• Lane tracing assist
• Automatic high-beam headlights
• Adaptive cruise control
• Road sign assist

2022 Toyota C-HR vs 2022 Honda HR-V

The Honda HR-V is the most balanced car out there in this segment. It not only has better fuel efficiency than the C-HR but is quicker on the road and also comes with an AWD system. The HR-V's cabin is much upscale and spacious than the C-HR. The latter does offer plenty of standard safety technologies but altogether, the HR-V is a better pick among these two cars. 

2022 Toyota C-HR vs 2022 Hyundai Kona

The Hyundai Kona is a great package in the small crossover segment. It has bang-on styling, ample performance, and a good road presence. The Kona also happens to undercut the C-HR by a couple of grand in terms of pricing while the C-HR offers better ergonomics and layout. The Kona offers more space and features on the inside but the C-HR offers better reliability and resale value. 

2022 Toyota C-HR vs 2022 Nissan Kicks

The Nissan Kicks retails at a much lesser price than the C-HR. It offers plenty of standard features but lacks an AWD system, like the C-HR. Although it offers a lackluster acceleration, it is quicker than the C-HR and it is hands-down the most efficient car in its class. The cabin is decently roomy and offers a ling list of driver aids. Overall, the Kicks is a better package than the C-HR.

The T-badge value will be a deciding factor for the buyers of this car. Although the 2022 Toyota C-HR is comfortable, spacious in the front, and is a safe car with safety features standard across the trim levels, there are just too many areas where the competition surpasses the C-HR. Except for the T-badge, there is little that this Toyota can offer to make it a compelling buy. With that said, we still hope that the 2022 C-HR should prove us wrong when it is launched.
