Toyota C-HR crossover concept teased

Toyota will unveil a new concept vehicle named C-HR at the Paris motor show next month. The vehicle will, says Toyota, reveal an "innovative vision for a compact crossover model". The Japanese company goes on to say that "the C-HR concept combines a powerful new design language with an engaging driving experience and a hybrid powertrain".

Back in July this year a high-riding mule was spied testing at the Nürburgring in Germany, and it seems logical to conclude that the C-HR concept will preview a production variant of the more rugged C-segment offering. It is likely to be sold globally from 2017.

The teaser image issued by Toyota suggests the Paris concept will have a sporting appearance, with a more steeply raked rear section, a integrated roof spoiler and striking light clusters all visible.

The Paris motor show will also witness the finalised exterior design of Toyota's Fuel Cell Vehicle.
