Announced to launch in Japan by the end of this year.
Ahead of its launch in Japan which is announced to take place by the end of this year, the Toyota C-HR's TRD Edition has leaked in what looks like a brochure scan posted by Livedoor Blog.
TRD, or Toyota Racing Department, is the name Toyota uses for its sporty bodykits, which are available globally across its portfolio. For the C-HR, designers have come up with an aggressive TRD styling kit which brings larger bumpers with air vents, a honeycomb grille, and a silver skid plate, larger gloss-black alloy wheels, oversized red mudflaps, a black finisher for the grille and a rear spoiler.
The interior of the C-HR TRD could also sport revisions to the seat upholstery and center console, not to forget the addition of aluminium pedals and illuminated sill plates with the TRD lettering.
The Toyota C-HR measures 4,360 mm in length, 1,795 mm in width and 1,555 mm/1,565 mm in height, and has a wheelbase of 2,640 mm. It will be available in three variants: 1.2-liter petrol, 2.0-liter petrol and 1.8-liter petrol hybrid. The 1.2-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine develops 116 PS and 185 Nm of torque, while the 2.0-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine is good for 150 PS and 193 Nm of torque.

The 1.2-liter petrol will be available with a 6-speed manual transmission and a continuously variable transmission with all wheel drive, while the 2.0 petrol will have only a CVT.
