New Toyota C-HR Spotlight | Lafayette, LA

Buying a new SUV for your family in Opelousas, Louisiana, can be expensive. That's why Courvelle Toyota strives to give you a good deal on the model you need to transport your loved ones. For parents in St. Landry Parish on a budget, we recommend checking out the 2022 Toyota C-HR. This compact crossover is designed to be affordable, efficient, and practical.

An Affordable Value

Next to the Corolla Cross, the Toyota C-HR is one of the lowest-priced Toyota SUVs, bearing a base MSRP under $25,000. The basic C-HR trim - the XLE - isn't packed with superfluous bells and whistles. It only comes with the standard features that most drivers expect, such as dual zone automatic climate control, an easy-to-use 8-inch touch screen, and the Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.5 package.

If you want more than that, you can look at the upgraded Nightshade Edition or Limited trim, which each add an array of premium material and technology features. And even still, they're competitively priced considering the

Sporty Style, Efficient Performance

From the outside, the C-HR looks like a gas-guzzling adrenaline machine. But, don't be fooled by its sleek, athletic design; this crossover has a fuel-efficient four-cylinder engine under the hood. With its continuously variable transmission, lightweight build, and Eco Mode, the 2022 Toyota C-HR prioritizes money-saving MPG rates over unbridled power, averaging 29 mpg on combined city/highway drives.[1]

Still, that doesn't mean the 2022 C-HR doesn't look cool. Its wraparound headlamps, flared fenders, jagged taillamps, available two-tone R-Code color schemes, and sportback-like roofline make the C-HR look more like a large hot hatch than a small crossover. Its curb appeal is far from the boxy, understated character that plagues most SUVs.

For extra style, upgraded version of the 2022 C-HR add chrome lining around the windows, a black chin spoiler, blacked-out badging, turbine-styled 18-inch wheels, and hidden rear door handles.

Safety Is Included

While most automakers will charge you extra for driver-assistance features, Toyota includes the Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.5 suite on every 2022 C-HR, even base trim. This collection of intuitive tech systems helps you stay safer behind the wheel when driving on Louisiana highways and crowded downtown Lafayette.

You'll get Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Lane Tracing Assist, Automatic High Beams, Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Road Sign Assist, and Blind Spot Monitor. All of these systems work in tandem to provide extra awareness and control on the road.

The only notable optional features that aren't standard give you better visibility at night, with Adaptive Front-Lighting System, LED foglights, and Automatic High Beams with auto/off included on the C-HR Limited.

A Driver-Centric Ride

When you're in the driver's seat of the 2022 Toyota C-HR, you'll appreciate its pilot-focused layout. The supportive front seat, tall seating position, and wide surrounding glass give you excellent visibility from behind the wheel. Thanks to the asymmetrical dashboard design and angled layout, the touch screen and central controls are within easy reach - letting you quickly select your preferred comfort and entertainment settings with ease.

The C-HR uses a convenient Push Button Start system and remote illuminated entry so you can slide into the driver's seat and be on your way without fumbling for your keys. Once you're in the driver's seat, you'll have a generous 43.5 inches of legroom and 53 inches of hip room to stretch out on your ride to work or see your family.
