2019 Subaru Crosstrek vs. 2019 Toyota C-HR
In the world of subcompact crossovers, there are several that rise to the top of the heap. If your search for the perfect one for your driving needs and desires has left you considering the Subaru Crosstrek and the Toyota C-HR, then you've done some smart shopping! Not only are these models two of the best contenders in a crowded automotive segment, they offer exceptional value from their affordable base prices to their fuel efficiency and range of standard and available features.
Now for the nitty-gritty: Which one of these worthy vehicles comes out on top in some key areas? We'll look at several things that matter most to crossover shoppers and see how the 2019 Crosstrek and the 2019 C-HR really stack up.
Cargo Space: The Subaru Crosstrek Takes the Edge
It's important for a crossover to be able to fit not just your passengers but all the gear that comes along with them. The Crosstrek offers a truly impressive amount of cargo space, especially considering its designation as a subcompact crossover. Even with all the seats occupied, you get access to a remarkable 21 cubic feet of space. With the rear seats folded down, that number balloons to more than 55 cubic feet!
By comparison, the Toyota CH-R has limited room both in the backseat and in the cargo area. Its modest cargo space of 19 cubic feet of space with the seats occupied and just 36.4 cubic feet when those seats are folded down pales in comparison to the roominess afforded by the Crosstrek.
Interior Accommodations: Relax and Connect in the Crosstrek
It's hard to deny the comfortable appeal of the Subaru Crosstrek's cabin, especially when you compare it to that of the C-HR. The Crosstrek puts comfort and connectivity center stage, with spacious seats that allow occupants to stretch out and enjoy the ride, while the miles fly by outside the windows. With standard features like a user-friendly infotainment system, Apple CarPlay / Android Auto, Bluetooth®*, and more, the Crosstrek only gets better when you upgrade with available features like a Wi-Fi hotspot and a premium audio system. Materials are soft to the touch and the interior has a sophisticated and upscale look and feel.
In the C-HR, it's hard to get past the dark and cramped backseat space. While the Toyota SUV now offers Apple CarPlay and a decent selection of technology features, you'll find a more comfort-oriented and better-equipped interior when you choose the Crosstrek.
Exterior Style: A Matter of Taste
Sure, attractiveness is subjective. But the Toyota C-HR has a design that is loved by some and roundly rejected by others. It's distinctive, yes, but that's not necessarily a good thing for people who prefer a more traditional look with a sleek and sporty profile like what the Crosstrek gives you. In fact, a design like the 2019 C-HR could quickly become tired and dated once you get past its initial unexpected factor.
The 2019 Crosstrek, on the other hand, has an outdoorsy, adventurous aesthetic and gives you a choice of vibrant exterior color options so that you can put your own style stamp on yours. On road or off, the Crosstrek delivers big in the realm of visual impact.
