The Skoda Karoq and Kia Sportage are two options well worth considering. If your daughter doesn't need quite as much boot and rear interior space, a Kia Niro is also worth considering – while it's a bit smaller than the Toyota C-HR, it's actually quite comparable in terms of practicality. The C-HR's stylish shape looks great, but it's not so great for practicality.
