Toyota Previews Subsequent C-HR – Kelley Blue E book

With most of its designs, Toyota shoots for the center of the street. However the Toyota C-HR is bizarre. The 2022 Toyota C-HR has the reliability Toyota is understood for. Nevertheless it doesn’t have the mainstream styling Toyota is understood for.

It gives a nice journey, respectable gasoline economic system, and probably the funkiest styling within the decidedly funkless subcompact SUV phase.

Its successor will persist with that components.

Toyota in the present day previewed the following C-HR (it means “coupe – high-riding,” though the automotive has 4 doorways). The corporate’s European division took the wraps off an idea automotive it’s calling the “C-HR Prologue.”

Formally a Idea; Most likely the Subsequent C-HR

Toyota says this automotive is destined for Europe. Nevertheless it’s virtually actually the identical automotive we’ll get within the U.S. in 2024.

Formally, idea vehicles aren’t previews of manufacturing vehicles. However Toyota has used the “Prologue” identify earlier than on ideas that went into manufacturing shortly afterward, and previewed the prior C-HR in Europe. So odds are good that it is a preview of Toyota’s subsequent subcompact SUV right here in america.

Toyota says the idea “makes very clear that Toyota is staying true to what made Toyota C-HR so successful.”

That features the unusual styling – amped up within the idea with greater wheels and shorter overhangs, plus a entrance fascia with a thinner grille and massive C-shaped LED lights. Toyota is looking the look “hammerhead.” It shares apparent DNA with the all-new 2023 Prius.

The virtually-hidden rear door handles return, made much more tough to identify due to a 3-tone paint job that features an attention-grabbing spoiler set in yellow.

Hybrid, Plug-in Hybrid Variations

The corporate provided no particulars on the automotive’s inside.

Toyota guarantees each hybrid and plug-in hybrid variations. An all-electric C-HR? We nonetheless suppose that’s probably, within the type of the bZ Compact SUV Idea Toyota unveiled in Los Angeles final month. However that may probably get a reputation with the bZ (“past zero”) prefix Toyota is utilizing for its deliberate lineup of electrical vehicles.
