NHTSA // CRASH-TESTED
2019 Toyota C-Hr
Federal crash-test performance, recalls, and complaints, scored into one NHTSA Safety Index.
The Toyota C-HR is a subcompact crossover SUV, not a sedan, aimed at urban drivers and style-conscious buyers who want a distinctive alternative to mainstream small SUVs. Sold in the United States from the 2018 model year onward, the C-HR targets younger buyers and city commuters who prioritize design flair and maneuverability over maximum cargo space or towing capability.
The 2019 Toyota C-Hr earns an NHTSA Safety Index of 91 out of 100, an exceptional result driven by its federal crash-test stars and its recall record. Both frontal and side crash protection reached the full 5 stars. It has 3 recalls on record, reflected in the score.
- new and teen drivers who want standard crash-avoidance tech
- urban drivers exposed to side-impact risk
Reviewers generally find the Toyota C-HR to be a stylistically bold entry in the subcompact crossover segment that prioritizes design and a composed ride over outright practicality. Most note that its distinctive exterior comes at the cost of rear visibility and cargo flexibility, while praising its smooth, confidence-inspiring driving manners and the reassurance of Toyota's safety technology suite as standard equipment.
