Toyota C-HR Crossover Concept Heading to Paris
Toyota is heading to this year’s Paris Motor Show with a new crossover concept.
The crossover segment is the fastest growing in today’s marketplace and the Japanese automaker wants to capitalize with a new hybrid model that will be called the C-HR concept. According to Toyota, the compact crossover concept will combine “a bold new design language with an agile, engaging driving experience and a hybrid powertrain,” slotting below the current RAV4. Earlier this year, the company was spied testing a high-riding variant of its Auris and rumor has it the new model could take the Auris Cross nameplate.
