Speaking of the design, this new Toyota Crossover, just like its predecessor, has been designed at Toyota’s European design headquarters located in Nice, France. For starters, it will feature shorter overhangs and wheels pushed to the corners which is one of the crucial parts of the brand’s latest ‘condensed stance monster’ styling. The C-HR concept also gets a new ‘Hammerhead’ front-end design that might also remind you of some other new Toyota cars in the market. The brand is however expected to drop the tri-tone finish in the production version. For those wondering, the new production-spec version is likely to be revealed sometime around mid-2023.
