Toyota recently announced that it would be bringing the C-HR to South Africa early next year. For those who forgot, the C-HR (Coupe-High Rider) is Toyota’s new light crossover, aimed at tackling the Mazda CX-3 and Renault Captur, based on the Toyota New Global Architecture as used on the new Prius. The manufacturer has finally revealed what the interior will look like.
The interior design isn’t too far off from current models in the Toyota line-up but it does express more of a modern representation. The design team behind the interior stated that their rationale was to create an environment that was both stylish and technologically advanced without sacrificing comfort. Leather touch instruments, piano black trim and the new touch screen infotainment system with blue and brown accenting help create this ambiance.
Standard equipment includes autonomous braking with pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control with lane departure alert and steering control, automatic high beam and road sign assist. Higher trim models will get to make use of heated seats, a smart entry system, privacy glass, bespoke upholstery including part-leather seats, intelligent park assist, 18-inch alloy wheels and Bi-tone metallic paintwork. A concert hall sound system by JBL will be an optional extra for all trims.
