The next big small thing! 2024 Toyota C-HR will debut this month, but when will it arrive in Australia to tackle Mitsubishi ASX, MG ZS and Mazda CX-30?

Toyota has stamped a date on the reveal of its much-anticipated C-HR small SUV, set to debut in a fortnight with sharp styling and a heavier focus on electrification.

The 2024 Toyota C-HR will be revealed internationally on June 26, at 4:00 PM AEST, with Toyota having released a shadowy teaser image (below) in the hopes of building even more hype.

However, thanks to pre-production models seen testing recently and the help of some international digital artists, we already know what to expect from the C-HR's design.

2024 Toyota C-HR hybrid small SUV design takes shape as new Mazda CX-30 and Mitsubishi ASX rival approaches reveal ICE freeze! 2024 Toyota C-HR Hybrid line-up confirmed for Australia ahead of redesigned Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, Volkswagen T-Roc and Honda HR-V rival's reveal New Toyota C-HR reveal coming soon: report

The second-gen C-HR, which Toyota calls an "exciting and sophisticated compact SUV", is going to follow its predecessor in challenging the brand's (perhaps now unfair) image of building conservatively designed cars, with Toyota calling the new model's look an "edgy design".

Toyota hasn't been shy about letting the world know what to expect from the new C-HR, having heralded its approach late last year with a concept called the Toyota Prologue Concept, and lightly camouflaged cars seen testing at the Nurburgring only differing slightly with elements like real mirrors replacing the digital camera mirrors of the Prologue.

Toyota Australia hasn't confirmed timing for the C-HR, though we expect it to arrive in early 2024 based on how long models usually take to arrive after their global reveals.

The 2024 Toyota C-HR will be revealed internationally on June 26, at 4:00 PM AEST.

When it does show up, it will launch in hybrid form only, with Toyota Australia having stated it "will be offered exclusively with a hybrid powertrain". A plug-in hybrid is to be available overseas, but the brand's local arm "currently has no plans to introduce the PHEV variant to the Australian market".

The current C-HR is a declining seller, likely due to its age and the introduction of the newer Toyota Corolla Cross, having shifted 1906 units in 2023 so far. Last year in the same period, it sold 3639 units.
