Toyota also began selling the new C-HR in April 2017. Initially intended to be a Scion before Scion died, the C-HR is available with AWD in other markets.
But as a front-wheel-drive-only vehicle with dimensions similar to the departed Toyota Matrix, the C-HR remains a car in GCBC’s books.

GCBC isn’t here to break down segments, an impossible task for any group, but to display sales data for the sake of comparison. The more ways sales data can be displayed, the better. This explains why you’ll see the Encore and XV Crosstrek are listed with small cars, too, because readers have wanted it both ways. You can always find the sales results for EVERY vehicle and form your own competitive sets by using the All Vehicle Rankings posts.
