SPY PICS: Toyota C-HR spotted in US trim
Small SUV already confirmed for Oz is caught while testing in the American state of MichiganToyota's rival for the Mazda CX-3 and Honda HR-V is on its way to Australia, as the manufacturer confirmed with motoring.com.au at the Geneva motor show last month.
And there's even a prospect the small SUV will be made available in hybrid form for the local market.
While the C-HR will directly target the Mazda and the Honda, its styling indicates Toyota believes it possible to seduce buyers who find the Nissan Juke an appealing product.
Pictures here of the C-HR, taken while testing near Ann Arbor in Michigan, show the production model wearing US-legislated bumpers and revised frontal treatment specifically designed for North America. But it's the clearest indication yet of how the C-HR will look in production form when it arrives in Australia, around 12 months from now.
When it does reach our shores, it will offer autonomous emergency braking and will be powered by a 1.2-litre turbo four-cylinder petrol engine, unlike the American C-HR, which is expected to run a 2.0-litre atmo engine.
