The first thing that drivers in the Streamwood area should know, when comparing the Toyota C-HR vs. Honda CR-V, is that the Honda is a compact SUV, while the Toyota falls into the smaller subcompact class. Both models can seat five passengers comfortably, but the 2018 Honda CR-V offers more overall passenger and cargo space. With that being said, Chicagoland's drivers still have plenty of reasons to prefer the 2019 Toyota C-HR. For starters, the C-HR is simply more affordable:
- 2019 Toyota C-HR LE FWD: $20,945 MSRP*
- 2018 Honda CR-V LX 2WD: $24,350 MSRP
What's more, our ToyotaCare program covers all regular maintenance for two years or 25,000 miles, whichever comes first. This means the C-HR is more affordable to own, as well.
Handling and Ride Quality: Toyota C-HR vs. Honda CR-V
- Wheels: The C-HR offers 18-inch steel wheels with wheel covers, standard. 17-inch wheels are standard on the CR-V LX. The C-HR tires also have a lower height-to-width ratio than those of the CR-V. As a result of these factors, the C-HR feels sportier and more responsive than its competitor from Honda.
- Turning Circle: The C-HR can take tighter turns than the CR-V. This capability is evidenced by its turning circle diameter, which is just 34.2 feet. The CR-V turns on a circle with a 37.4-foot diameter, meaning you'll have to work harder to corner effectively when you're cruising down Lake Shore Drive.
Safety: Toyota C-HR vs. Honda CR-V
- Standard Features: Both the CR-V and the C-HR offer an abundant list of standard safety features. Each offers daytime running lights, a rearview camera, and built-in stability systems designed to keep you planted firmly on Schaumburg roads. Blind spot monitoring is available on both.
- Advanced Driver-Assistance: The C-HR scores a major win over the Honda CR-V by offering Toyota Safety Sense™ P (TSS-P) in its baseline trim. Even though the C-HR is less expensive, it includes features like adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assist, standard. Both will end up costing you extra if you choose the CR-V.
- Pre-Tensioning: The C-HR offers seatbelt pre-tensioning for both front and rear-seated passengers. The same technology, which can minimize the danger posed by collisions, is only available for the front seats of the Honda CR-V.
