Yahoo Autos Toyota C-HR will be retired in the U.S. — and soon
Toyota just previewed the second-generation C-HR with a futuristic-looking design study called C-HR Prologue Concept. While the model will be toned down and released on the European market in 2023, a recent report claims that the nameplate won't return to the American market.
Citing a company spokesperson, Motor Trend wrote that the C-HR will leave the United States and Canada after the 2022 model year and that a replacement isn't in the pipeline. Toyota stressed that it remains committed to the compact crossover segment; the recently-launched Corolla Cross notably costs about $1,000 less than the C-HR, has a slightly bigger footprint, and offers a more spacious interior.
In a way, Toyota's decision to discontinue the C-HR in the United States mirrors the choice Nissan made to stop selling the Juke here in the late 2010s. European buyers can order the second-generation Juke, and it's tailored to their needs, while the Kicks fills this void in America.
