Toyota announced the first official teaser of the second generation C-HRwhich it will fully disclose on June 26.
The new one C-HR is because in Australia in first half of 2024.
The trailer shows a shaded image of the rear, revealing only a high-mounted full-width light bar consisting of three LED strips interrupted by illuminated ‘Toyota C-HR’ lettering.
We also get a glimpse of the roof spoiler and small side windows that give it a coupe-like appearance.
Toyota previously confirmed the C-HR will be offered exclusively with hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains, unlike the upcoming model which is also offered with a petrol powertrain.
However, Toyota Australia has ruled out a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) option for the local market. The company has never offered PHEV versions of the Prius And RAV4 locally.
Recently Spyed Prototype shows that the C-HR will not change too much from last December opening concept.
The opening features an evolution of the current model’s coupe-like configuration plus some design cues from the latest Prius.
Previous spy shots have revealed a seemingly more spacious interior, seemingly borrowing the gearshift selector, tablet-style touchscreen and climate control buttons from the new Prius.
It seems that the C-HR will no longer have the hidden rear door handles of the current model, instead sporting flat door handles for both the front and rear doors.
The new model is also expected to have larger wheels and shorter overhangs for a sportier look.
It will also adopt the new ‘Hammerhead’ design language on the front end that is being implemented on Toyota models.
The C-HR will be underpinned by the TNGA-C architecture, which is also used on the new generation Prius.
Toyota hasn’t ruled out an electric-only version of the C-HR. It currently offers an electric version of the C-HR which is available only in China.
Aside from the promise of ‘sharp design and cutting-edge technology’, Toyota hasn’t released any other specifications for the model.

Pricing will be announced at a later date, but a higher base price for the new C-HR range can be expected.
Currently, prices for the C-HR in Australia start at $31,715 pre-road for the 1.2-litre GXL 2WD turbocharged petrol engine and expand to $38,465 pre-road for the GR. Sport and Koba 2WD Hybrids.
Starting in December, in-house battery production for the C-HR will begin Toyota Motor Made in Türkiye for the European market.
Toyota says the expansion in Türkiye will support its efforts to reduce CO2 by 100% for European vehicles by 2035.
Locally, Toyota is targeting 50% of its sales to be electric – including electric vehicles like bZ4X – to 2025.
