Toyota is really counting on the C-HR (Coupe High Rider) and is setting the bar very high for other manufacturers. The small SUV is aimed at a young and dynamic market segment. It’ll be introduced next spring by offering standard equipment that few manufacturers offer for an entry-level SUV:

Segment-leading features also include:

Unique Performance
On the performance side, the Toyota C-HR is powered by a 2-litre four-cylinder engine producing 144 horsepower and 140 pound-foot of torque.
