This Is the Toyota C-HR's Final Model Year In the U.S.

the C-HR and the honda HRV always left me scratching my head as to why they made them...i guess honda also had the element which was a bit odd but i still want one haha.

perhaps it's for the pug effect: ugly but cute (no offense to pug owners out there) !

Small, affordable SUV's/crossovers are a hot segment. If a brand can't make one work, they have not made wise design decisions. I don't think Toyota's C-HR ever caught on well due to it's strange styling. But Toyota's SUV line-up is overcrowded at the moment. They are selling everything on the lot and there is a wait for in-coming units. They are probably just trying to play catch up.

You can see quite a few of them here, but realistically they have absolutely nothing going for them except for style (very subjective).

Good riddance! Unfortunately we have the dull Corolla Cross now to take it's spot. Would be kinda cool to have the Yaris Cross, I find it a lot more stylish and practical than the CH-R. The CH-R seems to be more of those "urban, lifestyle" type cars that's more fit for a European market, especially evident by it's sales numbers.

Agreed. If you all remember, I said that on the day it was first introduced LOL.

Yes, the Corolla Cross may be vanilla, but it is exactly what many people want and need. Also like I predicted, it is selling like beer at Happy Hour, at least where supplies are available.

The Yaris and Yaris Cross are standard sub-compacts built from the sub-compact GA-B platform.
The C-HR & UX are premium sub-compacts built from the compact GA-C platform that the Corolla & Corolla Cross uses.
Like the C-HR & UX premium sub-compacts, the RAV4 & NX are premium compacts built from the midsize GA-K platform.

Sounds like the US market is NOT suited to "sub-compacts" like Yaris, Yaris Cross and C-HR.

C-HR was highly successful in Europe and Japan, it was not made for USA. Here it is quite popular and new version has been just introduced as preview/concept and they announced powertrains already:

In the U.S., unlike the Yaris and C-HR, demand for the Corolla Cross consistently exceeds supply.

The subcompact HR-V, although not a runaway success like the larger compact CR-V, was reasonably successful, though IMO it gave up a great deal of comfort, power, and room compared to its larger brother. On a test-drive, I found it cramped and underpowered.

I never even considered one because of the measly 144hp + CVT powertrain.

I kept thinking that entry for the rear door is too small, thinking it was just the silver, but no the black area is part of the door as well. Interesting design choice.

Agreed, the HR-V is definitely looking like a more usable alternative to a CH-R if you want a small SUV.

I recently had a Corolla Cross for a Lyft ride, and it was fine, but nothing upscale by any means, and probably one of the most boring cars I've seen in a long time.

This isn't shocking, but what is shocking is how it lasted all the way through 2022 at all. I remember learning about the Corolla Cross back in 2019, when it was first making rounds at private Toyota USA functions. I also learned about the RWD Mirai, Venza, aborted GS, all new 2024 Land Cruiser, 2023 4Runner, 2023 Sequoia, 2022 Tundra, 2021 Sienna and some other vehicles from that time period. The Corolla Cross was intended 3 years ago to replace the C-HR and I knew it would be built in Alabama. I guess Toyota let it run its full cycle, instead of cutting it short like the Avalon.
