Said to be inspired by diamonds, the Toyota\u2019s C-HR is sharper than cheddar cheese. The entire design is angular and aggressive, but also unlike anything we\u2019ve seen before. It looks like the kind of car that\u2019s searching for Shia LaBeouf and Optimus Prime.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s more to this car than looking like a Decepticon, though. It\u2019s Toyota\u2019s first compact crossover, and unlike so many concept cars, this one is actually heading to production. The C-HR features a hybrid powertrain (that we don\u2019t know much about), and some of the coolest rims we\u2019ve ever seen.<\/p>\n
Motor Authority reports<\/a> say this engine will be \u201cgood for 120 horsepower,\u201d and that it could also be powered by some turbocharged gasoline powertrains. Reports from Road Show<\/a> are echoing that, saying the hybrid is a 1.8L that produces 120 horsepower, and the turbocharged engines will pass that with 133 horsepower.<\/p>\n No one really knows, though. Road Show is also <\/em>reporting that the US will probably see a 2.0L engine with a CVT and no six-speed manual option. That would be logical considering how unlikely you are to sell a manual car in the United States, but upsetting for those of us who like to do our own shifting.<\/p>\n Wondering when will the C-HR make it to the United States? There\u2019s no specific date, but Spring 2017 seems to be the broad consensus. We also don\u2019t know what its price will be, but we\u2019ve got a pretty good idea.<\/p>\n Since the C-HR is going to be a Nissan Juke competitor, you can expect to find it in a similar price-range. The Nissan Juke starts at $20,250 and tops out just under $30,000. The Mazda CX-3 and Jeep Renegade are at similar price points, so we\u2019re guessing the C-HR will be priced comparably.<\/p>\n More than 40mpg, lots of torque, and all-wheel drive. That\u2019s the technology that would set the Toyota C-HR apart from the Nissan Juke, Mazda CX-3, and Jeep Renegade. Also, please don\u2019t give us an interior that\u2019s too advanced for its own good.<\/p>\n We\u2019ll keep our fingers crossed for a compact crossover that breaks the mold. We\u2019d love to hear what you would like to see in this upcoming model, so let us know on our Facebook<\/a> or Twitter<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Said to be inspired by diamonds, the Toyota\u2019s C-HR is sharper than cheddar cheese.
