“C-HR” stands for “Coupe High-Rider,” despite this little ute’s having four doors and riding rather low for a crossover. A turbo 2.0-liter four pumps out 144 hp and teams with a CVT. Oddly, the C-HR is front-drive only; all-wheel drive is not an option. Safety tech includes a forward-collision warning system with pedestrian detection and automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning with steering assist, automatic high beams, and adaptive cruise control. Look for the C-HR in spring 2017.
