2017 Prius c is 2016 the last year for the USA?

I seem to remember the model year rolls over in March or so.

 

Speculation here. I purchased a brand new 2015 PriusC Three on April 30, 2016. It may just be a matter of inventory and fashion.

 

I noticed this also. The Highlander is being redesigned with a new look for 2017 so that may be why it is not listed with the 2017s yet on the Toyota website. The 4Runner is very popular so I am sure it will continue on in 2017. But our Prius C is not selling so well anymore with gas prices having been low for quite some time now. I bet they will stop bringing it to the USA unless gas prices shoot back up again dramaticly, therefore making the Prius C more desirable again to more consumers. Too bad since it is a good car (I like mine a lot) and consumers should still be concerned about the future cost of gas, and what is best for the Earth as well. Unfortunately we know that most Americans don't think about the future too much and don't worry about such things as gas costs and the environment.

 

So I messaged Toyota on this and also contacted a dealership. Apparently they're not done producing the 2016's, Toyota said the information wasn't prepared yet so I imagine they're doing updates. Just a reminder, the Prius C outsold the V so imagine if the V is staying around then the C probably will.

 

If (as I do) you assume the 2017 is the same as the 2016, why wouldn't Toyota sell the 2016s first?
Plenty of time for a 2017 model.

 

I'm guessing updates and they're trying to keep it low key. I doubt Toyota would spend the money and add LED headlamps to a model they're planning on retiring.

 

See if 2017 becomes a 2018

 

Here's the article about new 2017 with the Toyota Safety Sense C, or TSS-C for short, as a standard for all model grades.

 

They hide it well, but I suspect that article is European, not the US. (Petrol, Motorbike,etc.)

 

2017 c is on Toyota s site, not much of note in their description of it
