Toyota C-HR side view

There is no diesel version of the Toyota C-HR

As a matter of fact, the Executive has come up with this thought since 2014 when he decided not to make a diesel Toyota C-HR and even when the Dieselgate scandal wasn’t emerged. At that moment, dealerships said no to his decision because they had to have diesel for the market. Despite of this, he still held his opinion. For all intents and purposes, the brand must respect the long-term tendency of eco-friendly cars.

Back to the present, the Vice President hopes for diesel cars to dispose of gradually in Europe. In fact, many European countries such as France, the Netherlands, Britain and also, Germany have been considering bans on the sales of diesel-powered cars in the near future.
