The Toyota C-HR city SUV is approaching the end of its current model cycle, but the company says the nameplate is here to stay – and the just-released Corolla Cross will sell alongside it, not replace it.
The Toyota C-HR city SUV will live on once the original model in showrooms today eventually reaches the end of the road.
The second-smallest SUV offering from Australia’s largest car maker – above the Yaris Cross – is approaching the end of its model cycle.
Given the timing, industry observers wondered if the just-released Toyota Corolla Cross was a replacement for the C-HR.
However, Toyota Australia has confirmed the C-HR will continue as a standalone nameplate and will sell alongside the Corolla Cross, rather than be replaced by it.
“There are absolutely no plans to discontinue C-HR in this market, as a car and as a nameplate,” said the sales and marketing boss of Toyota Australia, Sean Hanley.
The executive declined to given an estimate of when the next-generation C-HR might be introduced – however reports out of Japan have pointed to a launch next year.
“All I can tell you is C-HR will continue in Australia,” said Mr Hanley.
