End Of An Era: Farewell To 4 Beloved Cars From Toyota In Brazil, Discontinuation In Factories And Lamentation From Drivers

Toyota is one of the most beloved automakers in Brazil, as evidenced by the numerous cars it offers in the Brazilian market. For example, the Hilux is the dream of many drivers. Another example is the Corolla Cross and Yaris Cross, one of the most popular cars from the automaker, which has a legion of admirers in Brazil. Throughout its journey in the country, Toyota has launched and discontinued several models.

Today, we will talk about the end of three popular cars loved by Brazilians that, after a decision by Toyota, were discontinued. Currently, these models can only be found second-hand. The information comes from the Karvi website.

Etios And Etios Sedan

Beloved by Brazilians for a long time, unfortunately, they lost space with the arrival of the Yaris and Yaris Sedan. Gradually, the new models captured the public’s attention, and as a result, the Etios and Etios Sedan were discontinued in 2021. They were produced at the Sorocaba factory, and with the end of their production, the Corolla Cross took their place.

Prius

It may not be as well-known here, but it’s worth mentioning that it was once the best-selling hybrid car worldwide. In Brazil, it did not achieve as much success, but it was a favorite abroad. Due to this, production in Brazil was halted in August 2021.

Camry

We conclude our list with a sleek sedan design but with an discouraging price. The Camry cost up to R$ 320,000, and the cheaper Toyota models were always chosen instead. With insufficient market demand, the Japanese automaker decided to cease production in August 2021.

Recently, Toyota Took The Automotive Market By Surprise, Halted Production And Discontinued The Best-Selling Version Of The Hilux

Goodbye Hilux SRX, the automotive giant Toyota surprised the market by discontinuing the Hilux SRX in Brazil. This version was the most popular of the pickup, accounting for 44% of the model’s sales in the previous year. However, Toyota has already introduced a replacement, the SRX Plus.

The company explained to Auto+ that “the SRX version is still part of the Hilux portfolio, but now under the name SRX Plus. This update is part of the company’s sales strategy. The available versions now include Chassis, Single Cab, STD Power Pack, SR, SRV, SRX Plus, and GR-Sport.”

Goodbye Sadness And Lamentation. Let’s Talk About News And Good Things! Finally, The Yaris Cross Is Registered In Brazil: The New Mini SUV In Brazil, The Cheapest In The Country, Has A Confirmed Launch And Promises To Annihilate Creta And Renegade 

The Yaris Cross has finally been registered and will mark Toyota’s debut in compact SUVs in Brazil, shaking up the segment and annihilating rivals Creta and Renegade. Without a doubt, the launch of the Toyota Yaris Cross has everything to stand out as one of the most popular cars in Brazil. This highly anticipated SUV promises to shake up the national automotive market with its various versions and configurations. 

After confirmations and sightings during tests on Brazilian roads, the SUV’s design from Toyota was officially registered by the Japanese automaker at the INPI – National Institute of Industrial Property.

Yaris Cross Will Be The Cheapest Car From Toyota In Brazil And Promises To Sell Like Hotcakes 

The Toyota Yaris Cross will be the cheapest car of the brand in Brazilian territory, situated below the Corolla Cross. This mini SUV will be the third vehicle from the brand to feature hybrid-flex engine in Brazil, distinguishing it from the Corolla lineup. 

With a promising future in the country, the Toyota Yaris Cross is expected to be a true sales success and be cheaper than its competitors Hyundai Creta, Jeep Renegade, and Honda WR-V.
