Toyota will unveil at the 2014 Paris Motor Show their C-HR concept, a vision for a hybrid-powered compact crossover which displays an emphatic new design language. The car gives an early hint of a kind of vehicle the Japanese carmaker would like to bring to market.
The C-HR concept introduces an expressive new design approach with a diamond styling theme. Beneath the flowing cabin profile, the lower bodywork has been sculpted to create faceted surfaces, like the precision cutting of a gemstone.
The frontal treatment marks a development of Toyota’s current design cues and the introduction of themes which signal a future direction for Toyota vehicles.
In profile, the facetted treatment of the lower body, the muscular wheel arches and angular rear shoulders are juxtaposed with an exceptionally sleek cabin profile. At the rear, distinctive, aero-inspired floating rear lamp clusters add further emphasis to the vehicle’s broad-shouldered look.
The unveiling of the C-HR concept and a press conference will take place on the Toyota stand in Hall 4 of the Paris Motor Show on October 2.
