Toyota unveiled the 2018 C-HR compact crossover at the LA Auto show thereby trumping the media days.
C-HR stands for Coupe High Rider and will be arriving for Toyota dealerships in the spring to escort a new contestant for red-hot Canadian compact SUV segment.
In fact, nearly one year ago for the first time, it appeared at the LA show as the Scion C-HR concept. With the expiration of Scion brand, the C-HR has been relaunched as a Toyota.
An article published by the Hamilton Spectator Having large and standard 17-inch and optional 18-inch alloy wheels, termed as "Distinguished Diamond", slim projector headlights stretching back until the top of the front fenders, the C-HR is called to be highly stylish.
The inside driver "MeZone" cabin has diamond patterns all over featuring dual-zone climate control and a 7-inch infotainment touchscreen that is raised high on the center stack. This is further progressed by a color 4.2-inch driver info display between the two main gauges in the instrument cluster.
In an article published by Fortune, Toyota C-HR's middle of the body is precise and as moving towards the back, cooler details are found. Additionally, the backseat door handles are combined into the top floor.
Powered by 2.0-litre direct injection inline four-cylinder producing 144 hp and 139 lb/ft of torque on regular fuel, whose consumption capacity figures are yet to be affirmed.
While AWD is not available, D-HR has front-engine with front drive and a CVT transmission.
Coming as first for Toyota, there are double wishbone rear system featuring rear shocks, urethane upper supports and suspension which is a new MacPherson strut setup.
With 7-speed sequential manual shift mode, the CVT has a sport setting at steps up ratio changes.
The SUV C-HR will have a complete set of driver safety arrangements that include Toyota Safety Sense P (TSS-P), Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection function (PCS w/PD), Automatic Emergency Braking, Full Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC), Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist function (LDA w/SA), Automatic High Beams (AHB).
When it arrives in the spring, C-HR will be made available in two trim levels - XLE and XLE Premium. The pricing will be declared when cars are put for sale.
