Toyota C-HR Preview

Toyota no doubt is hoping to create more growth next year with the C-HR, which stands for Coupe High-Rider and "represents a leap forward in design, manufacturing and engineering", while carrying on the Scion C-HR concept's "avant-garde physique". To put in perspective how serious Toyota is, the C-HR was actually developed at the famous Nurburgring race track.

Underneath the wildly creased sheet metal, the C-HR rides on the same Toyota New Global Architecture platform used by the Prius hybrid. With its sloping roofline and aggressively raked liftgate, the C-HR has the look of a modern hatchback.

Key styling features include slim projector-beam halogen headlights with LED daytime running lights extending almost to the C-HR's front-quarter panels; deep, curving character lines that come out of a large Toyota badge and run below windows and above the rear wheel into the C-pillar; and in the rear of the vehicle protruding taillamps and an inward tapered hatch.

At launch, the USA -spec C-HR will be offered in two trims: XLE and XLE Premium. The headlights use projector beams and it also has LED daytime running lights.

Every game is different, every opponent is different, but we have to work out a way to adapt our game". They need time, they are human beings. "Today the schedule is so stressful for the players".

Inside, the C-HR is equipped with an uncluttered, driver-oriented interior featuring diamond-shaped themes, soft-touch materials, and sport-bolstered front seats. The Premium version adds heated front seats, a power lumbar adjustment for the driver's seat, puddle lamps, foglights and push-button start.

The naturally aspirated 4-cylinder gas engine makes a modest 144 horsepower and 140 pound-feet of torque sent to the front wheels through a CVT with a manual mode, Toyota said. That being said, in the USA the vehicle will only be up for grabs with a typically aspirated 2.0-litre with 144 horsepower coupled with a leading CVT transmission that drives the front wheels, according to CarScoops.

Despite what appears to be a power deficit, Toyota says it wants the new C-HR to exhilarate its driver, and equates the vehicle's handling to "a well-sorted sports auto".

With the US market's insatiable appetite for crossovers, the 2018 Toyota C-HR shouldn't have a problem finding homes as long as buyers can get over-or even learn to love-the small CUV's unconventional design. A newly developed MacPherson strut front suspension and all-new double-wishbone rear suspension will combine with a low centre of gravity, high body strength, and low weight to deliver sporty handling. A 7-inch infotainment screen sits on top of the dash, tablet-style, like the Germans do it. The multimedia system includes a USB port, auxiliary jack and Bluetooth connectivity but not Apple CarPlay or Android Auto smartphone mirroring.
