Context
Why does this story matter?
The Toyota C-HR Prologue concept delivers better looks in comparison to its predecessor, the C-HR introduced in 2016. Better performance and more features are also expected in the production-specific version. The batteries in the Prologue's PHEV variant will be manufactured in Europe, a first for the company. We do not think it will be launched in India, at least anytime soon.
