Toyota showcased a new hybrid crossover concept during the Paris Motor Show, the C-HR. Toyota explained the C-HR Concept is built on a new platform and measures 4,350mm long, 1,850mm wide and 1,500mm high. A lower centre of gravity and greater structural rigidity will contribute to much improved driving dynamics. Interesting, but Toyota did not say what it was comparing it to.
More interestingly, Toyota said this C-HR concept uses a new full hybrid powertrain that will deliver significantly improved fuel efficiency. This new powertrain is expected to be seen in production vehicles in the near future, but Toyota stayed mum on particular characteristics.
This design study for a stylish, lightweight C-segment crossover could see production, in altered form, and would likely be first launched in Europe where such smaller vehicles are sought after. Toyota stated this concept is “giving the first hint of a type of crossover vehicle Toyota would like to bring to market.”
