In addition, the HOME and LUXE models have evolved a more elegant design with a horizontal chrome decorative line running across the top of the grille.

“Toyota’s “bold face” new SUV “C-HR Concept” .
ByPawaniToyota’s “”bold face”” new SUV “”C-HR Concept”” will be released as it is? What is the “”precedent”” of commercialization of a novel “”show car””?
The first generation “”C-HR”” was also born with a concept car design
On December 5, 2022, Toyota’s European division premiered the C-HR Prologue concept car.
The model is said to hint at what the new, second-generation C-HR will look like, but the current (first-generation) C-HR, which appeared in December 2015, has a history of being brought to market with a bold concept car design that was largely retained, and it seems likely that the new model will follow a similar process.“”Too bold! Photos of the first-generation C-HR and its prototype concept car .
Above: first (current) generation “”C-HR”” (production model) launched in December 2015 / Below: the C-HR Concept (concept car) at the Frankfurt Motor Show in Germany in September 2015
The current C-HR is a model with enhanced driving performance using the newly developed TNGA GA-C platform, which has been matured on the world’s roads, especially in Europe.
The Japanese version is available in 1.2-liter gasoline turbo engine and 1.8-liter hybrid versions.
The C-HR’s design was also extremely original.
The combination of the bold fender shape around the wide, protruding front and rear tires and the compact-looking cabin gave it a sporty, coupe-like style that asserted a strong individuality unmatched by any other car.
Such an overly bold design has its roots.
First, the design was brushed up after being exhibited at the Paris Motor Show in France in October 2014, and then reintroduced at the Frankfurt Motor Show in Germany the following September 2015, using the “”C-HR Concept”” design as the prototype.
While the Paris Show model had three doors, the concept model exhibited at the Frankfurt Show had five doors, making it more realistic, and the production version largely followed that image.
Toyota explains that the new C-HR Prologue concept car faithfully inherits the DNA of the first-generation C-HR and is a demonstration model of the new (second-generation) C-HR.
The C-HR PROLOG’s futuristic form has a strong impact, but it also cleverly inherits the bold image of the first-generation C-HR.
* * *
The production model of the new C-HR, like the first generation, will be available as a hybrid vehicle as well as a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) vehicle.
However, as of December 5, 2022, no announcement or launch date for the production version has been made.

With an overall length of 4,630 mm, width of 1,780 mm, height of 1,435 mm, and a wheelbase of 2,700 mm, the base Corolla Altis offers powertrain options, including a gasoline model with a 1.6-liter or 1.8-liter in-line 4-cylinder engine, and a hybrid model with a 1.8-liter in-line 4-cylinder engine.
