Toyota C-HR Concept revealed as a funky urban crossover

Last week we had a tease for the Toyota C-HR Concept and now, with its debut just over a week away at the Paris Motor Show, Toyota has revealed the first couple of photos. Likely based on the Auris – and arriving in 2015 as the Toyota Auris Cross – the C-HR Concept is a funky, high-riding urban crossover aimed at the burgeoning crossover market and destined to slot in below the RAV-4.

What the C-HR Concept also does is preview a more cutting-edge design language from Toyota with shallow headlights merging in to the front grill, vertical running lights, big haunches, oversized wheels (which are unlikely to make production) and boomerang-shaped LED tail lights.

Toyota aren’t revealing what’s under the skin of the C-HR Concept, but if it is to be part of the future Auris family it will undoubtedly be the hybrid platform from the Auris, with conventional ICE options available too once the C-HR Concept turns in to a production model.

The Toyota C-HR Concept will be revealed at the Paris Motor show at the start of October, and we’d expect to see a production version arriving by Geneva in the spring.

More details when we get them.
