Toyota C-HR hybrid SUV spotted in India

The Toyota C-HR hybrid SUV has been spotted testing on the outskirts of Bangalore.

The Toyota C-HR was first launched in Japan in December 2016. It is based on the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) and is offered with a hybrid powertrain in the international market. The C-HR has a slim front grille finished in black flanked by large sweptback headlamps with integrated LED DRLs. The front bumper houses a wide air dam with circular fog lamps on either side. It has flared wheel arches and a sloping roofline. The rear of the SUV features a steeply raked windshield and a roof spoiler. It gets boomerang-shaped tail lights and a dual-tone rear bumper.

On the inside, the C-HR gets all-black interiors with coloured accents. It has a 3-spoke multi-functional steering wheel, a twin-pod instrument cluster and touchscreen infotainment system on the centre console.

The hybrid version of the C-HR uses a 1.8-litre, 4-cylinder petrol engine and an electric motor that is paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The combined output is 121 BHP and 305 Nm of torque.

There has been no word yet from Toyota regarding the launch of the C-HR hybrid SUV in India, however reports suggest that it could be launched around the year 2020-21.
