Toyota C-HR PHEV review

Is it really necessary to have PHEV power in a Toyota C-HR? Jonathan Crouch decides. Ten Second Review Top versions of the second generation C-HR gain the PHEV powertrain Toyota thought unnecessary in this small coupe-crossover model's original predecessor. You could almost treat the resulting confection like a full-EV for commuting duties, but inevitably, there's a price to pay for…
Pros & cons PROSProven Stellantis running gearAttractive pricingComfortable ride CONSRear legroom is tightBoot space isn’t fantasticSteering is overly assisted Fiat 600e Overview Although the electric car market is already rammed full of SUVs, the Fiat 600e adds another contender to the list. It’s a dinky thing, although it should be just about big enough for family duties, with a hybrid…
With a lineage that traces back decades, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class stands as a testament to elegance and cutting-edge engineering. It also happens to be one of my favorite cars in the world, so this review won’t be biased at all. Just kidding. It’s precisely because I know the E-Class so well, that I’m not going to pull any punches when…
The TX is Lexus's most family-friendly three-row to date. Lexus's history with three-row SUVs is not especially heroic. The body-on-frame GX and LX have space but ride like trucks.

Futuristic sedan offers ample range, rapid charging and a great driving experience The Ioniq 6 is the best of the E-GMP vehicles to drive, and its aerodynamic shape makes it super efficient with a long range. You give up utility versus the Ioniq 5, but the benefits will be worth it for some. Pros: Fun, efficient driving; stand-out design; quick…
Mercedes E-Class is a technological tour de force, but from behind the wheel it suffers from a distinct lack of character. The plug-in hybrid powertrain really delivers in terms of efficiency, but that comes at the cost of practicality, which is a shame given this car’s otherwise spacious estate body. We expect emerging rivals from BMW and Audi will add…
A refresh can't save Chevrolet's subcompact SUV from being upstaged by the Trax, which is both more affordable and more appealing. It's embarrassing to be upstaged by a little sibling. Just ask the Chevrolet Trailblazer, a subcompact SUV that's been around since 2021. The underachieving Trax sitting next to it in the showroom never really gave the Trailblazer cause for…
