Toyota Teases its New Crossover Concept C-HR Ahead of Paris Motor Show Unveiling

With approaching Paris Motor Show, manufacturers like Toyota have triggered the teasing process of their upcoming cars. The Japanese automaker has teased the image of its new compact crossover C-HR which will be unveiled at next month’s Paris Motor Show starting from 4th October 2014. Looking at the teased image, the crossover gets narrow headlamps with angular rear taillamp clusters. The car is also supposed to get a sloping roofline that gives a sporty design which further spruces up with the roof mounted spoiler. At the Paris Motor Show, the concept vehicle will be showcased at the centre stage of Toyota stand at hall 4. 

In first look, the car reminds of Honda HR-V SUV Concept and the only change one can find is the huge rear bumper.  With technical details still in dark, the car carries Prius sourced hybrid powertrain. The 1.8-litre petrol engine powers the front wheels, while an electric motor moves the rear axle. The C-HR concept combines the automaker’s powerful new design language with an engaging driving experience and a hybrid powertrain. 

While there is no word on the production model but as per media reports, if the concept model gets a green light, the car will make its way to showrooms by 2016.
