We’re now past the halfway point of the year, which means 2025-model-year vehicles are already arriving at dealerships.
Unfortunately, it also signals the end for some cars, as at least 25 models have already been confirmed for discontinuation.
For several vehicles, this decision has been anticipated. Nissan, for example, is retiring the aging GT-R and Titan, signaling a much-needed overhaul for its lineup.
Maserati is also moving forward, replacing the Ghibli with something fresh. However, some departures are particularly bittersweet, including the Bugatti Chiron, the iconic Chevrolet Camaro, and the powerhouse Ram TRX.
As the year progresses, more vehicles are expected to join this farewell list.
1. Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio
A moment of silence for Alfa Romeo’s Quadrifoglio performance lineup—at least temporarily. Alfa Romeo is discontinuing the gas-powered Giulia Quadrifoglio after 2024.
However, according to Larry Dominique, the company’s Head of North American Operations, the beloved clover badge could make a comeback in the future on an electric or hybrid performance car.
2. Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio
The Stelvio Quadrifoglio is another casualty of Alfa’s transition away from internal combustion engines.
This 505-horsepower performance SUV won’t be part of the 2025 lineup as the company pivots toward battery-powered vehicles for its performance offerings.
3. Audi A4
Audi is simplifying its lineup, and the Audi A4 sedan is one of the casualties. A cornerstone of Audi’s range since 1994, the gas-powered A4 is being phased out.
While the nameplate is likely to reappear as an EV in the future, the new Audi A5 will temporarily take its place.
4. Audi A5 Coupe/Cabriolet
The A5 Coupe and Cabriolet are also being discontinued as part of Audi’s streamlining efforts. The new A5 sedan will be the sole option under the A5 badge when it launches later this year, replacing the two-door coupe and convertible models.
The Cabriolet’s departure also marks the end of convertibles in Audi’s lineup, a feature that dates back to the first-generation A5’s introduction to the U.S. in 2007.
5. BMW X3M
While BMW hasn’t formally announced the X3M’s discontinuation, signs suggest it won’t return.
The new X3 is unlikely to feature a performance-oriented M variant, as BMW shifts its focus to electric performance SUVs.
The next-generation performance offering will likely be the all-electric iX3 M—or whatever its eventual name might be.
This aligns with a 2022 report predicting that the X3’s next performance version would be exclusively electric.
6. Bugatti Chiron
The Bugatti Chiron’s journey concludes with the arrival of the new Tourbillon.
After an impressive eight-year run, which included numerous iterations and a short-lived world-record top speed of 304.8 mph, the Chiron retires as a hypercar icon. Its departure also signals the end of its legendary W-16 engine.
7. Chevrolet Camaro
Chevrolet began the Camaro’s gradual farewell last year by discontinuing the four-cylinder variant. Now, for 2025, the entire Camaro lineup will bid farewell.
The last sixth-generation model—a ZL1 1LE with a manual transmission and 650 horsepower—was built in December 2023. However, you can likely still find 2024 models on dealer lots.
8. Chevrolet Malibu
The Chevrolet Malibu has flown under the radar in recent years, but its time has finally come. Production of the ninth-generation Malibu will officially end in November 2024.
This marks the conclusion of a nearly nine-year run, as Chevy prepares to shift focus to the next-generation Bolt.
9. Fisker Ocean
Fisker has faced significant challenges in recent months. Despite prolonged efforts to salvage the brand, the company officially declared bankruptcy in June.
As a result, the Fisker Ocean electric SUV is also being discontinued. It’s unlikely the Ocean will make it to the 2025 model year, but if you come across any remaining 2023 inventory, the company has priced the base model at under $25,000.
10. Ford Escape
The Ford Escape ranked as the 25th best-selling vehicle in the United States last year, with more than 140,000 units sold.
However, those numbers weren’t enough to secure its future. The compact SUV, which has been a staple for 23 years, will be discontinued by the end of 2024.
Its departure follows in the footsteps of the recently discontinued Edge SUV.
11. Infiniti Q50
Infiniti is in the midst of reworking its lineup. Following the discontinuation of the Q60 coupe, the Q50 sedan will also be retired after the 2024 model year.
Infiniti has confirmed this is the final year for its last remaining sedan. The brand plans to shift its focus toward “the most popular luxury automotive segments such as crossovers and SUVs.”
12. Jaguar F-Type
The final Jaguar F-Type has just rolled off the production line, paying homage to the iconic E-Type with a stunning Giola Green exterior paired with Windsor leather upholstery.
Over its 10-year run, the F-Type saw several versions and iterations. Now, Jaguar bids farewell to its beloved sports car as the company pivots toward electrification in the coming years.
13. Jeep Gladiator Manual
Jeep enthusiasts can rest assured that the Gladiator nameplate will remain part of the lineup for 2025. However, the manual transmission option is being phased out.
Starting with the 2025 models, the off-road pickup will only be available with the eight-speed automatic transmission, marking the end of its stick-shift variant.
14. Maserati Ghibli
After an 11-year run, the current generation of the Maserati Ghibli will be discontinued for 2025.
As Maserati transitions toward electrification, the aging Ghibli could potentially be replaced in the future by a model featuring an electric or hybrid powertrain.
15. Maserati Levante
Maserati is streamlining its lineup to focus on a few core models, including the MC20 sports car, the compact Grecale SUV, and the new GranTurismo.
Unfortunately, this shift spells the end for the Levante SUV, one of Maserati’s best-sellers. Production officially ceased in March 2024, marking the Levante’s exit from the lineup.
16. Maserati Quattroporte
The Quattroporte is another Maserati model set to bow out after the 2024 model year.
Following more than a decade in its current generation, the performance sedan leaves the brand’s roster—and it takes Maserati’s celebrated V-8 engine with it.
The Quattroporte Grand Finale is the last Maserati ever to feature the V-8, marking the end of an era.
17. Mitsubishi Mirage
The Mitsubishi Mirage—both its hatchback and sedan versions—is expected to be discontinued by the end of 2024.
With a starting price of $17,955, the Mirage remains one of the most affordable cars in the U.S. However, its outdated platform and lackluster performance have made it increasingly difficult to compete in today’s market.
18. Mini Clubman
Mini is refreshing its lineup, but the quirky and beloved Clubman will not be part of it.
Though a limited number of 2024 Final Edition models—fewer than 100 units—are available in the U.S., starting at $47,145, this marks the end for Mini’s station wagon. For now, the Clubman is being retired as Mini reshapes its offerings.
19. Nissan GT-R
The end of an era is near for the Nissan GT-R. Production for the beloved sports car in the U.S. will officially cease in October.
Nissan is commemorating the occasion with two special trims: the Skyline Edition and the Takumi Edition, both paying tribute to the GT-R’s storied legacy. The current R35 GT-R, which debuted back in 2009, closes the chapter on a long-standing icon.
20. Nissan Titan
The Nissan Titan is another veteran of the Nissan lineup that won’t make it past 2024.
Despite the popularity of trucks in the U.S., the Titan struggled with sales, moving fewer than 20,000 units in 2023.
This marks the end of the road for Nissan’s full-size pickup truck.
21. Porsche 718 Boxster / Cayman (In Europe)
Good news for American enthusiasts: the Porsche 718 Boxster and Cayman are staying on U.S. shores for now. However, in Europe, these models will be phased out due to the General Safety Regulation of the European Union, which includes cybersecurity requirements.
Starting in July 2024, any models that fail to meet these standards cannot be registered. Porsche does not plan to update the current platform for Europe, but a new electric version of the Boxster and Cayman is expected to hit the European market in the coming years.
22. Ram 1500 Classic
The Ram 1500 lineup has undergone significant updates, but for nearly five years, Ram has continued to sell the 1500 Classic—the previous-generation truck—alongside the updated model.
Sadly, this dual offering will end, and with it, the Hemi V-8 option within the Ram lineup will also be discontinued.
23. Ram 1500 TRX
The Ram 1500 TRX is reaching the end of its production run, with a new model, the RHO, set to take its place. The supercharged, 702-horsepower truck won’t be available in the U.S. after this year.
Buyers can still purchase the powerful TRX for a starting price of $98,335, but availability is limited, making it a coveted final edition of the off-road beast.
24. Toyota Supra Four-Cylinder
The iconic Toyota Supra will remain part of the lineup, but only in its six-cylinder form—for now. Unfortunately, the more budget-friendly four-cylinder Supra is being discontinued ahead of the 2025 model year.
This move is likely due to underwhelming sales figures. For those interested in the four-cylinder version, the used car market will be the only option moving forward.
25. Volvo S60
Volvo continues its shift toward electrification, and the gas-powered S60 is the latest casualty of this transition. The S60 first appeared in the U.S. back in 2000, with the third generation debuting in 2019.
Production of the luxury sedan will conclude by the end of this year, as Volvo reallocates its efforts toward the all-electric EX90, a three-row SUV that represents the brand’s future.
