Toyota launches Karl Lagerfeld limited-edition SUV in Thailand

Toyota has revealed a limited-edition version of its C-HR crossover that pays tribute to the late German designer Karl Lagerfeld, Luxury Launches reports.

Best known as the creative power behind the modern revival of Chanel, Lagerfeld passed away in February 2019. The limited-edition Toyota crossover has been created in partnership with his eponymous brand and will only be sold in Thailand. 

The Lagerfeld C-HR is based on the top-of-the-line HV Hi hybrid C-HR variant sold in Thailand and it features a 1.8-liter four-cylinder petrol engine coupled to a 52kW electric motor, which produces a cumulative output of 122 PS (about 120bbhp). 

The automaker said that the limited-edition model is mechanically identical to the regular model and the changes are restricted to only aesthetic updates.
