The subcompact crossover segment is growing insanely fast with the introduction of models, like the Chevy Trax, Honda HR-V and Mazda CX-3. Toyota may soon jump into the segment with a new smaller crossover that could debut as early as the next Geneva Motor Show in March.

The new small crossover will reportedly borrow styling cues from the C-HR concept that debuted last year, but it will have four doors instead of two. Toyota Europe’s sales chief Karl Schlict recently stated, “The C-HR is obviously exaggerated, it’s a concept car. Stretched, bigger wheels, whatever – but something like that, we’re going to do. We’re serious about it, yes.”

The small crossover is expected to be offered in some markets with small gasoline and diesel four-cylinder engines. Stay tuned.
