What reviewers say

Reviewers agree the second-generation C-HR is well equipped and economical, with an improved interior and a composed chassis that Autocar rated among the best in the class. All three find it expensive; Autocar and What Car? criticise the tight rear seats and small boot, Autocar found the engines noisy when worked hard, and Auto Express noted limited rear visibility.
