The show launched in 2016 after James and Richard Hammond left the Beeb alongside Jeremy Clarkson.
It quickly became a big hit and amassed a cult audience but all three men have felt the series has ran its course.
The streamer will consider potentially continuing the show further down the line with new hosts - an idea which the departing hosts are happy with.
A TV insider said: “It’s a surprising decision and everyone realises it very much marks the end of an era for the three presenters.

“The Grand Tour is one of Prime Video’s most watched shows and Jeremy, James and Richard have a devoted following.
“But the guys have made no bones about the fact they’re all advancing in years and they have lots of other projects to pursue.
“They just felt like the time was right and wanted to go out on a high when the show remained popular.”
Just like James, Jeremy Clarkson is remaining on Prime Video with the streamer confirming his farming series will be back.
