Toyota has teamed up with JBL to create the special
edition C-HR Neon Lime. Limited to 2,000 units, the compact crossover features
a bespoke sound system made by JBL. The subcompact SUV comes with the
360⁰ JBL Music Experience Pack, which contains a set of JBL speakers and
headphones, in addition to a six-month subscription to Deezer music streaming
service. The front sports seats, said to have been introduced specifically for
this model, are wrapped in black leather and Alcantara.
While the cabin of the C-HR Limited Edition is
somewhat restrained, the exterior is finished in an exclusive color called the
Neon Lime. The vibrant hue is contrasted by a black roof and 18-inch matte
black alloy wheels, whereas the LED headlights and boomerang-shaped rear design
complete the look, which is described as “stunning” by Toyota.
For the special edition, the automaker has chosen
the hybrid powertrain. It combines a 1.8-liter petrol engine with an electric
motor to produce a total output of 122 PS.
The C-HR Neon Lime was presented in the French Alps,
as part of the JBL Snow Party Event, in the presence of famous DJs and numerous
VIPs. It will go on sale in Europe this month, with pricing to be announced at
a later date – though you can bet it will command a nice premium over the
entry-level C-HR, which can be had from £ 21,885 in the United
Kingdom.
