The Toyota C-HR is a new entrant in the subcompact crossover segment and has already established itself in a relatively short span of time. The C-HR offers a host of useful and intuitive features even with its affordable and approachable price tag. However, competition in the subcompact crossover segment is inevitable, and the Hyundai Kona is another popular pick in this segment.

Both the subcompact crossovers have similar performance figures as both of them are powered by a 2.0-liter inline-four-cylinder engine. Both of them have similar MPG figures, and both of them are equipped with front-wheel-drive systems. But what makes the C-HR a lot more user-friendly than the Kona is the fact that is equipped with an easy-to-use continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) compared to the six-speed automatic-equipped in the Kona.

It comes with an eight-inch touchscreen display that comes with Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, Amazon Alexa, Bluetooth Connectivity, Hands-free phone capability, Advanced Voice Recognition, SiriusXM, and Wi-Fi Connect, to name some of them. The C-HR also comes with dual-zone automatic climate control, a center armrest with a 12-volt power outlet, and a 4.2-inch TFT Multi-information Display (MID) as standard features.
