Vandergriff Toyota

The Toyota C-HR Concept, which debuted at the 2014 Paris Motor Show, recently remerged as a five-door model at this year's IAA Frankfurt Motor Show in Frankfurt, Germany. With plans to release a production version of the compact hybrid crossover within the next few years, Toyota has begun to make changes to the concept that will likely carry over to the mass-market model.

As the automotive business continues to progress, more and more advanced technology options are beginning to find their way onto today's cars. In the past few years, carmakers have been focused on developing in-car systems capable of providing seamless smartphone integration, but according to recent studies buyers are more interested in owning vehicles with innovative safety technology.

It's no secret that Toyota is a leader in the U.S. market when it comes to hybrid vehicles. With the launch of the Prius in 1997, they were one of the first automakers to introduce hybrid technology to the mainstream. It's now been 18 years since the introduction of the Prius and Toyota is still going strong in the hybrid segment.

In the past few years, automakers have been slowly transitioning to turbocharged engines, and out of the many manufacturers who have jumped on board for the switch, Toyota is one brand that has held off including turbos in their lineup. However, this could be changing in the near future.
