When he arrived in 2016, Toyota C-HR was an outsider in the segment of compact crossovers. Its compact size and aerodynamic silhouette gave it more of an off-road sedan than a true family crossover. Toyota abandoned the geometric silhouette designed for space and storage (a priority for the RAV4). Rather, she focused on the proposal a model with a sporty look, younger, less tailored for families. Toyota commits, the C-HR is available here only in a hybrid version. A choice of 122 or 152 horsepower engine, self-charging. Updated for 2019, it recently got Toyota’s popular new trim called the GR Sport. Until Corolla Cross will soon come to his aid in this segment (a more family-friendly alternative), the first C-HR will soon be updated under the name!

Electric C-HR in addition to the hybrid

Already at the auto show in Los Angeles in November, Toyota presented an interesting concept: bZ Compact. Although still officially considered a prototype, it shares many styling and features with the current C-HR. So it’s entirely possible that this is a style study of Toyota’s future electric crossover. In other words, the electric C-HR we will have in Europe ! Will it be called the C-HR for all that? Not sure, because according to Toyota’s nomenclature, it can be assumed that this model will be positioned slightly below the current bZ4X. The latter is the electric equivalent of the RAV4, which would make sense. There has been no official announcement yet, so there will be more wait a few months to find out what his future will be.

The new C-HR hybrid is starting to show itself

Rest assured, the hybrid C-HR as we know it today is not dead. On the contrary, Toyota reserves for us a completely new generation that will be presented on June 26 next ! So it’s safe to bet that next year we’ll have two models face to face. Hybrid C-HR and electric bZ3X. As for the hybrid, Toyota remains rather evasive at the moment. Ella dropped some ballast first teaser photo. We can see the stern of the next C-HR. First observation: This new version seems to be confirm the sporty style and low silhouette of the actual. Behind, a a long light streak will connect three lighthouses. You can read the Toyota model and make name watermark in full. To become more universal than today, it must see its dimensions and increase in powerFor flirt with 200 horses. We’ll still have to wait less than two short weeks to open it up from all angles…
