In Paris Auto Show, the
Japanese-based manufacturer marked the local premiere of the all-new Prius
Plug-in Hybrid, which will hit showroom floors after debuting earlier this year
at the 2016 New York Auto Show.
Joining its the FCV Plus, a concept presented in
2015 during the Tokyo Motor Show, which is said to help the automaker examine
"how future hydrogen cars can contribute to society". One of the most
important features of the study is its ability to generate electricity from
hydrogen stored outside, besides the one found in its own tank, transforming it
into a stable source of electric power.
A large section of the stand will be reserved for
the display of the C-HR small crossover, which makes its full public debut in
Paris, after its exterior design was revealed at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show.
Based on the company's new global architecture, which is also found under the
latest Prius, it features a 112 HP 1.2-liter turbo or a 122 HP 1.8-liter
hybrid. The crossover is expected to become a best-seller in Europe, where
Toyota wants to move between 50,000 and 100,000 units.
