Your Exclusive Look At Toyota's Hot New C-HR Crossover

toyota-c-hr
Some of the world's top automotive engineers, designers, and futurists have been working overtime at Toyota. They've been busy crafting the next generation of Toyota models, and one of their most exciting new creations is the unbelievable 2018 C-HR Crossover. Blasting through convention like a stick of dynamite, the dynamic, dramatic, and ultra-bold 2018 Toyota C-HR (for Coupe High-Rider) recently made an impressive debut on Nov. 17 at the prestigious L.A. Auto Show. All eyes were on Toyota to see if the precedent-setting Scion C-HR crossover concept that had jaws dropping at last year's L.A. Auto Show would see the light after the transition of the youth-oriented Scion brand to Toyota this past August. Fortunately for automotive enthusiasts and auto-industry watchers, Toyota did not disappoint as the 2018 C-HR unveiled at this year's show closely resembles the original avant-garde Scion crossover concept in virtually every respect. toyota-c-hr-exterior

Design Inspired By Diamonds

According to Toyota, the subcompact C-HR's sleek and athletic design is the result of a unique "Distinctive Diamond" theme developed to evoke the multi-faceted brilliance of this most sought-after gemstone. As Toyota Division Group VP and General Manager Bill Fay described at the C-HR's official L.A. unveiling, "The diamond theme permeates throughout. Its silhouette, for example, resembles the iconic gemstone set on its side. Powerful wheel arches and 18-inch aluminum wheels accentuate the posture. Up front, slim projector headlights wrap into its toned shoulders. Deep character lines emerge from the headlamps and lead into the narrower core body. They flow into a unique C-Pillar with a hidden door handle. At the back, you’ll notice the C-HR’s tapered body and 3D tail lights. Its functional spoilers and wings give it a sporty vibe."

Distinctively Sporty & Chic Interior

The interior of the exhilarating new 2018 C-HR is as bold and distinctive as the exterior. Designed to maximize space for maximum comfort and versatility, the C-HR's cabin showcases Toyota's latest thinking, seamlessly margining technology with sporty sophistication. toyota-c-hr-interior As Toyota's Group VP Fay describes it, "The cabin is spacious and chic, with diamond accents found on the soft-touch materials, speaker surrounds, and black headliner." And, says Fay, the cabin has a low seating position emphasizing the crossover's low center of gravity. A premium leather steering wheel, cutting-edge Multi-Information Display with G-Force Meter, and an array of impressive high-tech features, including Toyota's advanced Entune Audio & App Suite™ and a large color touchscreen display will ensure that the C-HR is as modern and up-to-date as its advanced design implies.

Track-proven Performance & Handling

Motivating the new 2018 C-HR is a 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder engine making 144 horsepower and 139 lb.-ft. of torque. A smooth shifting and fuel-efficient Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) directs power to the front wheels, providing an excellent balance of fuel economy and performance. Drivers can engage Sport Mode with manual shift to further accentuate the C-HR's spirited driving dynamics. Thanks to Toyota's New Global Architecture (TNGA), the new C-HR will offer precise and agile handling while achieving a comfortable and quiet ride. The C-HR's sporty personality was honed on the curves and straightaways of Germany's legendary Nürburgring, where Toyota's engineers injected a healthy dose of race-tuned excitement. According to Motor Trend, Toyota increased the C-HR's structural rigidity to improve handling. Front Sachs dampers, a large front stabilizer bar, and a new double-wishbone rear suspension with Sachs shock are designed to increase agility and passenger comfort.

The Latest In Technology, Safety, & Convenience

Toyota also announced that the new 2018 C-HR will come with the automaker's industry-leading Toyota Safety Sense (TSS-P) technology as standard equipment. Toyota Safety Sense P includes such forward-think safety features as automatic braking, pre-collision warning, lane-departure alert, pedestrian detection, dynamic radar cruise control, automatic high beams, and more. Crafted to appeal to younger, active millennials and professionals, the C-HR will appeal to fashion-forward consumers who make trends, not follow them. It will be offered in two trim levels. Standard features on the XLE model include:
  • 18-inch alloy wheels
  • 7-inch Audio display
  • Dual-Zone Climate Control
  • Power fold and heated mirrors
  • 4.2-inch Color TFT
  • Leather steering wheel and satin-plated shift knob
  • Electric Parking Brake
  • Auto-dimming rearview mirror with backup camera
  • LED Daytime Running Lights with Halogen Headlamps
The XLE Premium model adds the following upgrades:

  • Blind Spot Monitor and Rear Cross Traffic Alert
  • Front Seat Heaters
  • “Toyota C-HR” Puddle Lamps
  • Driver Power Lumbar

Dimmitt Automotive Group is pleased to announce important additions to the Company’s management team as it sharpens its focus on optimizing the consumer experience for customers in its northern service areas.   Joe Petrillo has assumed the role of General Manager of Village Cadillac Toyota, located in Homosassa FL off US 19.  The Dimmitt executive committee is also pleased to announce Don Fortier as the dealership’s new General Sales Manager.  Together with Parts and Service Director of Operations Jerome George, this new leadership team brings over 100 years of collective automotive experience to the Village Toyota team.   Joe Petrillo joined the Dimmitt Automotive Group in May 2018 as the General Manager of Audi Wesley Chapel and has 38 years of experience in automotive retailing.  He has represented brands such as Lexus, Mercedes, Audi, Ford, Lincoln, Chevrolet, Cadillac, Honda, and Dodge during his automotive career and brings a unique luxury experience to better service the Village Cadillac Toyota community, located just minutes from Spring Hill, Ocala, and Hernando.  “The guest experience is the most important aspect of our business.  Our focus on delivering an exceptional customer experience is the key to long term success,” says Petrillo, who enjoys spending time with his wife Desiree, four children, and 3 grandchildren and is a member of the Southern Hills Golf Club in Brooksville.   Don Fortier brings over 45 years of industry experience in both sales and service, with experience in brands such as Cadillac, Toyota, Ford, Chevrolet, Pontiac, Nissan, Lincoln, and Mercury.  He resides locally with close ties to the community and previously operated a dealership in Brooksville for several years, now enjoying reconnecting with those same guests visiting him at Village Toyota.  “I treat my guests as I would my own family,” says Fortier, who has raised three children and now enjoys his time as a grandfather to two girls.   Petrillo and Fortier have joined forces with Dimmitt veteran Jerome George, Parts and Service Director of Operations, who has over 20 years of parts and service experience, 16 of those with the Dimmitt family of dealerships.  “My philosophy is building customers for life,” says George, and his reputation is evident among the dealer group.  His team has ranked #1 in customer satisfaction with Southeast Toyota three years running.   The Dimmitt Automotive Group has been a namesake in the Tampa Bay and surrounding areas for over 90 years, and legacy, luxury, and history are embroiled into the Dimmitt name.
