Scion, Toyota's "youth" brand, released the above teaser image Tuesday morning along with a brief press release stating their third all-new vehicle will be displayed at the Los Angeles Auto Show this November.
Is this the Toyota CH-R in Scion drag? It very much looks to be.
After releasing the brand-new-to-America Scion iM hatchback — a rebadged version of the internationally available Toyota Auris — and Scion iA, a slightly redesigned and rebadged Mazda2 sedan, Scion has seen a significant uptick in sales over the last month after sitting behind Porsche earlier in the year. However, the fact still remains, Scion is car heavy and without a crossover or SUV in a hot high-riding hatchback market.
This is exactly what Scion needs.
Official details are extremely scarce at this point in time, though the image does match up nicely with photos of the Toyota CH-R's rump — albeit without the CHMSL gracing the roof-mounted spoiler — so that's where we'll place our bets.
Here — check it out for yourself.
If Scion does get a version of the CH-R, this could also be Scion's very first hybrid.
The Los Angeles Auto Show begins November 18th.
