What reviewers say

Reviewers agree the first C-HR is boldly styled, well made and well equipped, with a comfortable, composed ride and tidy handling. Autocar found the 1.8 hybrid powertrain wheezy and monotonous; What Car? criticised cramped rear seats, a compromised boot and early cars' slow infotainment, which lacked smartphone mirroring.
