Scion C-HR 将在下月底特律车展亮相
丰田已经展示了不止一款C-HR紧凑型跨界概念车，最近的消息显示丰田将于明年一月份在底特律车展正式发布C-HR概念车。
2014年巴黎车展C-HR作为一款设计学习型的概念车被展出，今年早些时候在法兰克福车展展出了准备量产的四门概念车。最近，它又出现在了洛杉矶车展上，这次带上了Scion的标志。它的尺寸意味着它的主要销售市场是欧洲和日本，但也会在北美洲进行销售，因此该车也会在美国发布。
作为日本最大的汽车制造商，丰田研发紧凑型SUV的时间似乎晚了些，但丰田希望能凭借其亮瞎你狗眼（sharp-looking）的外形迎头赶上，该车提供了两种动力总成方案：涡轮增压汽油发动机，当然，还有混合动力版本。
混合动力版本使用和新普锐斯一样的1.8升发动机，该车也是基于丰田的新全球架构开发平台。整套系统拥有121马力的动力输出，比普锐斯低了大约14马力，尽管丰田认为这种小的差别是日本工程师们设计的速率输出。汽油机和电动机的结合依然靠CVT来实现动力的传递。丰田还提供了1.2升涡轮增压汽油机的动力方案，它的设计源于日本市场流行的Auris。它最大可实现114马力动力输出和136磅/英尺的扭矩输出。按照惯例，我们期望可以看到一款前轮驱动的版本或者四轮驱动版本。
尽管该车在别处因丰田的品牌被人熟知，但我们还是希望在美国市场C-HR 可以打出Scion 的品牌。不仅仅是我们看到的Scion，这一品牌还是跨界产品一种强烈需求的体现。丰田将C-HR 对标Nissan Juke和Honda HR-V，下个月我们会知道更多的消息。
原文：Toyota has shown more than one concept version of the C-HR compact crossover, and now a source close to Toyota tells us that the production C-HR finally will be revealed at the Detroit auto show in January.
The C-HR debuted as a design study at the 2014 Paris auto show, followed by a more-production-ready four-door concept at the Frankfurt show earlier this year. Most recently, it appeared at the L.A. auto show (as seen above), this time with a Scion badge. The vehicle’s size means that its main markets will be Europe and Japan, but it will also be sold in North America—thus the U.S. debut.
Japan’s biggest carmaker might have made a late start into the compact-SUV market with the C-HR, but it hopes to catch up quickly with a sharp-looking crossover that offers two powertrain variations: a turbocharged gasoline engine and, yes, a hybrid.
The hybrid is the same 1.8-liter unit fitted to the new Prius, which stands to reason since the C-HR rides on the same platform, Toyota’s New Global Architecture (TNGA). Total system output will be 121 horsepower, which is around 14-hp less than the Prius, although Toyota attributes the minor dip to a revision in how its Japanese engineers rate output. The engine and motor combination again puts power to the ground via a CVT. Toyota also will offer a 1.2-liter turbocharged gasoline engine, sourced from the Japanese-market Auris. It’s rated at 114 horsepower and 136 lb-ft of torque. We’d expect a choice of front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, as per the category norm.
Although it will be known as a Toyota elsewhere, we expect that for the U.S. market, the C-HR will be sold as a Scion. Not only have we’ve seen it as a Scion, but the Scion brand is in desperate need of new product—a crossover in particular. We’ll know more about how Toyota/Scion plans to pitch the C-HR against the likes of the Nissan Juke and the Honda HR-V next month.
