News has come that Toyota will finally launch its much-awaited crossover-SUV, the C-HR to the Indian market. Toyota revealed the car at the 2017 Paris Motor Show to a good response. With the C-HR, Toyota will enter the hugely competitive mid-size SUV segment.
India-bound Toyota CH-R is likely to come to us with a hybrid powertrain.
On-design, the C-HR looks completely modern and features new generation architecture. The front features sharp LED projector headlamps, with the sides having some plastic cladding and flared wheel arches. On the rear, the C-HR features C-shaped LED tail-lamps and a roof-mounted spoiler along with a sporty bumper.
The C-HR will be launched with a host of features as well. These include an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, climate control, LED headlamps and tail-lamps, leather seats, engine start/stop button and so on. As far as safety is concerned, the C-HR will come with as much as 6 airbags, ABS with EBD, lane departure alert, automatic cruise control, pedestrian warning and road sign assist.
Toyota is expected to introduce the C-HR in the Indian market by mid-2020, as per recent reports.
Reports say that the C-HR will be powered by a 1.8-litre petrol-hybrid engine. This engine will produce 96.6 BHP of power and 142 Nm of torque. It will come mated to a 6-speed CVT transmission, with the hybrid motor giving 71 BHP of power and 163 Nm of torque.
Toyota will bring the C-HR to the Indian market in mid-2020 as per recent reports.
