Toyota unveils sub-90g/km hybrid compact crossover at Geneva
Marked out as the first full hybrid model within the segment, the C-HR follows in the footsteps of the concept cars seen at Paris in 2014 and Frankfurt in 2015.
Built on Toyota’s New Global Architecture Platform (TNGA), the C-HR will be equipped with two powertrains in the UK.
The full hybrid power plant uses Toyota’s latest 1.8-litre hybrid system and offers CO2 emissions of less than 90g/km.
Also offered will be the 114bhp 1.2 litre turbo engine first shown in the Auris with a choice of six-speed manual gearbox or a CVT system in front-wheel or four-wheel drive versions.
A 2.0-litre CVT-only model will also be available but only for certain markets, not including the UK.
