Our experts review the 2018 Toyota C-HR.

For Edmunds Senior Writer Mark Takahashi, the all-new 2018 Toyota C-HR is not an easy car to review. Its flamboyant style, CVT and interior leave him conflicted. It's definitely not a fast car, hitting 60 mph at 10.6 seconds at the test track, making it the sixth slowest car we've ever tested. But Mark takes a close look at Toyota's subcompact crossover SUV, from its styling to drive to interior. Watch the video to see his verdict.

Q: How much is the Toyota C-HR?
A: The 2018 Toyota C-HR starts at $23,495 for the base XLE trim. The XLE Premium starts at $25,345. That higher price adds features such as power-folding mirrors, blind-spot monitoring and heated front seats.

Q: What kind of engine does the 2018 Toyota C-HR have?
A: The 2018 Toyota C-HR has a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that puts out 144 horsepower. Those numbers are right in there with the competition, but it doesn't use the power as well as rivals.

Q: How big is the Toyota C-HR's cargo area?
A: The 2018 Toyota C-HR's cargo space behind the second row measures 19 cubic feet, about average for the class. It expands to 36.4 cubes with the seats folded.
