“Quality materials and nifty design details make the C-HR’s cabin impressive at first glance. It’s let down by cramped passenger space, a lack of features, and poor outward visibility.” – Car and Driver
2018 C-HR Seating and Comfort
The 2018 C-HR offers standard seating for five people in two rows. While the C-HR has a small footprint, it is larger inside. The front seats are comfortable with a lot of headroom and sufficient legroom for taller drivers and passengers. The rear-seat riders, in particular, enjoy cabin width, a comfortable upright seating position, and plenty of shoe room under front seats.
The interior is well-designed and uses good quality materials that exceed expectations for the price point. Though the rear windows are small and pillar thick, the outward visibility is hampered and creates blind spots. The rear seats feel cramped and small doors restrict ey entry and exit. The all-black interior offers lots of storage bins, compartments, and cup holders.

The interior has trapezoid details everywhere - Toyota calls them “diamond detailing” and they look kind of cool. The C-HR's interior is reasonably attractive thanks to a rather simple layout and good interior quality.
Standard Interior features:
- Cloth upholstery
- Six-way manually adjustable front seats
- Leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob
- Heated front seats
- Eight-way manually-adjustable driver's seat with power lumbar support
2018 C-HR Infotainment System
For the starting price of $22,500, the 2018 C-HR comes standard with a 7-inch touch screen infotainment system, Bluetooth, a USB port, a six-speaker stereo, voice recognition, and HD Radio.
Though the touchscreen graphics feel dated and most rivals including Honda offers Android Auto and Apple CarPlay options. In the c-HR, most of the controls are within easy reach, however, those buttons are small and not clearly labeled.
2018 C-HR Cargo Capacity
The Toyota C-HR has 19 cubic feet of space behind the back seats, which expands to 36.4 cubic feet as you fold down those seats. The cargo capacity in the C-HR is typical for the class and most rivals offer much more space with seats folded.

For your personal items, there's an acceptable amount of storage spaces such as small door pockets, cupholders, and a center armrest bin. Again, Toyota has neglected the rear passengers as they just get miserly door pockets to stow their belongings in.
