Toyota will unveil its new C-HR Concept at next month’s Paris motor show, a vision for a hybrid-powered compact crossover that displays a new design language. The show car gives an early hint of a kind of vehicle Toyota says it intends to bring to market.
The C-HR Concept introduces a new design approach with what Toyota is calling 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,” explain the designers.
The frontal treatment marks a development of Toyota’s current design cues and the introduction of themes which signal a future direction for Toyota cars.
In profile, the facetted treatment of the lower body, the pronounced wheel arches and angular rear shoulders are juxtaposed with a coupe-esque cabin profile. At the rear, ‘aero-inspired’ floating rear lamp clusters add further emphasis to the vehicle’s broad-shouldered look.
