Toyota launches stunning C-HR SUV
Toyota has brought excitement and driving pleasure to the SUV market with the launch of its radically styled C-HR, or Coupe High Rider.
The new car stands out in the Toyota range and its segment with a coupe-like upper body, powerful underpinnings, engaging driving dynamics, punchy turbo petrol engine and advanced cabin quality.
A high level of standard features and sharp pricing add to the appeal with every C-HR equipped with a suite of advanced safety technologies and in-demand features such as satellite navigation, alloy wheels and dualzone automatic air-conditioning.
Top-of-the-range Koba variants add luxury features including leather-accented seats, keyless entry and ignition, bigger (18-inch) alloy wheels, LED lamps and innovative nanoe (pronounced nano-e) technology that moisturises cabin air.
A vibrant colour palette accentuates the extroverted styling of the C-HR and is taken further on Koba grades with a two-tone paint option, adding a white or black roof to specific body hues.
Personalisation is a by-word for the newest Toyota with more than 60 available Toyota Genuine accessories - second only to HiLux in the Toyota range in number - encouraging owners to express their individuality.
Customisation options to expand driveway appeal include eight alloy wheel designs; coloured exterior garnishes, wheel caps and mirror covers; and roof cross-bars for bicycles and other sports equipment.
C-HR is the first Toyota to offer five years of Toyota Service Advantage# with annual services capped at just $195 each.
Toyota Australia's executive director sales and marketing Tony Cramb said C-HR's stunning design brings together the best aspects of a hatchback, a coupe and an SUV.
“C-HR will bring new customers to the Toyota brand - typically younger, imageconscious people who take a more emotional approach to purchasing a car compared with our more traditional customers," Mr Cramb said.
'Owners will appreciate C-HR's refined engine, its supple chassis that rides and handles well, its premium airy interior - and the bonus of excellent fuel economy," he said.
Low-end torque, quick response and high efficiency are characteristics of the 1.2-litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine that is offered for the first time in a Toyota model in Australia.
Designers adopted sleek coupe styling cues and the raised height of an SUV to develop C-HR's distinctive features, including a steeply sloping roofline, “hidden" rear door handles and body panels that feature complex curves and creases.
C-HR's interior sets new quality and design standards for Toyota with its wrap-around dashboard, soft-touch surfaces and attention to detail that reflect the individuality and style that buyers in this segment are seeking.
C-HR offers a high level of standard safety features including a pre-collision safety system, active cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, lane departure alert with steering assist and reversing camera.
All variants are equipped with seven airbags, stability and traction control, auto high beam, blind-spot monitor, rear cross-traffic alert, rainsensing wipers, front and rear parking sensors and hill-start assist control.
