Is the Lexus CT200h being discontinued?

Lexus CT200h Discontinuation
The Lexus CT200h has indeed been discontinued in various markets. It was discontinued in the US since 2017, in Europe since late 2020, and in Australia since 2021. However, it remains available in Japan, where it was introduced in 2010. The production of the Lexus CT200h will end in October 2022, marking the conclusion of its twelve-year production run.
The decision to discontinue the Lexus CT200h was primarily influenced by lackluster and underperforming sales numbers. The model’s place has been filled by the more robust, stylish, and technology-equipped UX 250H, which is also a hybrid. The CT200h’s discontinuation was also attributed to slow sales in the US, with just 8,903 units sold in 2016 and 2,486 units sold in the following year. Similarly, the model faced declining sales in Canada, with only 546 and 160 units sold in 2016 and 2017, respectively .
The discontinuation of the Lexus CT200h in the US was accompanied by the speculation that Lexus would replace it with a crossover, potentially the all-new Toyota C-HR, which could serve as the platform to launch a new subcompact luxury SUV.
In Japan, the Lexus CT200h is going out of production in October 2022, and to mark its retirement, Lexus is building a final special edition called the Cherished Touring. This special edition is available in two exclusive color schemes.
Overall, the decision to discontinue the Lexus CT200h was driven by its sales performance and the introduction of alternative models, such as the UX 250H, in various markets.
