AI generated from our expert reviews

Both the Toyota C-HR and Lexus LBX make comfortable, quiet cruisers once you reach motorway speeds, although their priorities diverge on twistier roads. The C-HR proves rather good fun down winding stretches, whereas the LBX does not aim for an enjoyable drive, focusing instead on a relaxing experience. Inside, each car treats front occupants to a more upmarket atmosphere than those in the rear, where both feature cheaper plastics on the doors. Carrying a full complement of passengers is tough in either SUV, as squeezing three across the back row is a challenge. When you need to load heavier luggage, each model presents a noticeable lip to lift items over, though folding the back seats leaves you with more total space in the C-HR than in the LBX.
