The model, along with the Citroën C1, was phased out on January 1, 2021, when Toyota took full ownership of the plant in the Czech Republic, and announced the model would not be renewed. Production ended without any direct successor. The cars were all built in the TPCA factory in the Czech Republic for nearly seven years.[3]

A 72 bhp model was introduced slightly after with a 1.0 litre VTi, emitting 95g/km of CO2.
