Toyota C-HR concept
Hints at a compact crossover
Following this past weekend's leak, Toyota has unveiled the C-HR concept which is programmed to be exhibited at next week's Paris Motor Show.
The concept not only previews an upcoming C-segment crossover but also an update of Toyota's design language with a diamond theme that will be implemented on future production models. It adopts futuristic narrow LED headlights which merge with the front grille and comes with vertical strips of daytime running lights featuring the same lighting technology.
The side profile shows muscular wheel arches with plastic body cladding and the typical oversized wheels you see on concepts while the back boasts striking boomerang-like LED taillights. It has a raised suspension setup and is powered by a hybrid powertrain but details are not available at this moment.
Toyota will probably launch a production version sometime next year since prototypes have already been photographed conducting testing. The crossover will likely be part of the Auris family and could wear the "Auris Cross" moniker. It will be positioned below the RAV4 and will likely adopt a five-door configuration as opposed to the concept's three-door layout.
A public debut is scheduled for October 2 during the first press day of the 2014 Paris Motor Show.
