Designed to stand out both within the Toyota lineup and in its segment, the all-new C-HR (short for Coupé High-Rider) represents Akio Toyoda’s determination to allow greater stylistic freedom and promote engineering creativity in order to achieve eye-catching designs and enhanced driving pleasure.
The C-HR was previewed by concept-cars in Paris in 2014 and in Frankfurt in 2015. Its coupe-like lines are a testimony to the resolve of its designers to create a style that stands out in the Toyota range, and to establish a new direction amongst mid-sized crossovers. The C-HR is positioned between the Auris and the RAV4.
The all-new car introduces a distinctive styling that brings newfound dynamism and sensuality to the crossover market. In a departure for Toyota, the interior styling represents a “Sensual Tech” design concept combining high-tech functionality with a sensual and fashionable style. It embodies a driver-focused area within an airy, expansive cabin space.
Reflecting the demands of its target customer, the Toyota C-HR can be equipped with a wide variety of features. The headline option is a tailor-made JBL premium audio system comprising an 8-channel, 576-watt stereo amplifier and nine speakers, which include two newly patented acoustic JBL wave guides known as horn tweeters.
The C-HR is equipped with an engine range designed to deliver exactly the fluent, engaging driving behaviour that its customers are looking for. This is most powerfully expressed by the segment-unique, range-topping, full hybrid version, the intrinsic characteristics of which guarantee a smooth ride.
The most relevant C-HR engine is the Auris’ 1.2-litre turbo motor, which offers 116bhp, 185Nm and CO2 emission of 128g/km. It is mated to a Continuously Variable Transmission, with a choice of front-drive or four-wheel-drive.
