As more information slowly comes to light about the 2024 Toyota C-HR small SUV, Japanese outlets and international publications have been piecing together the leaks.

Now, a website known for its renders of unreleased models, Kolesa.ru, has published images of what it thinks the next-gen C-HR will look like based on new spy photos as well as the sleek Toyota Prologue concept car.

The 2024 C-HR is already confirmed to follow the design of the Prologue, and the render from Kolesa remains faithful to the concept while bringing the car into a more realistic, production-likely silhouette with slightly more subtle features.

It is still, however, quite visually wild for a small SUV, and speaks volumes about Toyota’s intentions in moving its small SUV forward.

In terms of details, what to expect from the new C-HR when it arrives is still cloudy.

Japanese website Best Car, which is often reliable in terms of Japanese automotive industry leaks well ahead of time, has most recently revealed sources are saying the next C-HR will be revealed in May this year.

It says the model’s powertrain will now consist of a 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine, both electrified as a hybrid and as a regular internal-combustion engine, with the 1.2-litre turbocharged engine being discontinued.

It also says a new version of the TNGA platform might underpin the 2024 C-HR, after Toyota recently reshuffled its electric car efforts, potentially even allowing a plug-in hybrid version of the small SUV and opening the door for it to go fully electric further into the future.

Regarding Australia, there’s no doubt that the next C-HR will show up, but more a matter of when. Toyota Australia vice-president for sales and marketing Sean Hanley has previously confirmed to CarsGuide the local arm of the world’s largest car brand will

"The current C-HR was embraced by customers for its bold styling and unique small SUV packaging and the concept vision for the next-generation C-HR takes that to an even higher level," Mr Hanley said.

"We are looking forward to the reveal of the final production version and introducing it to the Australian market in the coming years.”
