The wait is almost over. At next month’s Geneva Motor Show, Toyota will finally unveil the production version of the Toyota C-HR. The Japanese carmaker isn’t revealing much about the C-segment crossover for now, aside from the fact that it will indeed be a five-door coupe design, and that it “shows the new face of Toyota.”
Revealed as a three-door concept in September 2014, the Toyota C-HR was later updated for the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show sporting two additional doors. While the concept featured a radical new design for a Toyota, the final production version may not follow suit, despite Hiro Koba’s earlier statements.
Looking at the light trail-filled teaser image, we do spot certain differences the production version will have from the concept. This includes new, larger headlights and a taller roofline. Until the car is revealed in full, everything we decipher from the teaser image is purely speculative.
What is certain is the crossover’s usage of Toyota’s TNGA (Toyota New Generation Architecture) platform, which debuted on the fourth-generation Toyota Prius. A hybrid powertrain is likely to be offered for the crossover as well.
Aside from the long-awaited Toyota C-HR, the new Proace Verso MPV and Hilux will also be making its European debut in Geneva. The former is spawned from a collaboration between PSA Peugeot Citroen and Toyota that began in 2012, while the latter was revealed in Thailand in May 2015.

Gerard, how can this be a C-segment SUV if it is intended to duel with the Honda HR-V?
Thanks for your comment. The Toyota C-HR is a C-segment crossover following its base platform. Even so, it will most likely be targeted at the lucrative compact SUV segment, which includes the Honda HR-V and Nissan Juke.
In terms of size, the C-HR concept is larger (4,350 mm vs 4,294 mm) and wider (1,850 mm vs 1,772 mm) compared to the HR-V.
The front grill of this car looks like
“” Bull Dog :::
Terrible Toyota designers are running out of ideas to design elegant and pleasing to the eyes looks .
Can this car look be evergreen like most most european cars in years to come? puzzle
Thumbs up to the inteligence discussion. But not when Proton being a topic.
When P1 comes up, all the bashers lose their minds and start to froth in their mouths.
Copy CRV and HRV, hahaha
Toyota C-HR or they’ll other moniker could be better than Honda’s favorite, H-RV. Only one thing deter this to happen, Toyota’s cocky attitude in pricing as well as stingy in basic safety features as well as other amenities given in H-RV top model with RM120k tag price.
