Teaser: Toyota CH-R Crossover Concept to Debut in Paris
Hybrid will offer "bold design language" and "engaging driving experience."
With the Paris Motor Show just around the corner, Toyota has released this first teaser image of its upcoming CH-R Crossover Concept, a hybrid compact crossover that promises to deliver "a bold new design language with an agile, engaging driving experience and a Hybrid powertrain." With the next Auris already unveiled, we can only speculate that this model could share the same platform, with a production-ready crossover to appear in the near future.
The CH-R is likely to directly rival Honda's new HR-V, whose concept "prototype," based on the existing production Asian Vezel, will also be officially revealed in Paris. Few details have been made available for the new Toyota crossover, nor has the company said whether this model, which should fit it in below the RAV4, would make it to the American market.
It’s hard to believe, considering the automaker practically pioneered the compact crossover segment, that Toyota waited this long to introduce something smaller than its popular RAV4.
More surprising still, the 2018 Toyota C-HR wasn’t even planned as a Toyota in the first place and was supposed to hit the North American market bearing a Scion badge. However, that brand’s demise opened the door to a tiny Toyota ready to take on the likes of the Nissan Juke and Honda HR-V, among others, in a segment that’s set to explode.
