The market speaks. Yaris sales (sedan and hatch combined) dropped to only 22K in 2019. That is down from 44K in 2017. They only sold 2,400 1Q20

Toyota priced the 2021 Corolla at $19,600 so they can still advertise a vehicle less than $20K.

EDIT: The C-HR went on sale mid-2017 and jumped to 49K units for 2018 and 2019. I'm guessing a lot of Yaris buyers decided to go with the CUV for a little more.
