As 2024 draws to an end, many automakers are introducing their 2025 model-year vehicles to dealership lots. However, many nameplates will cease manufacturing or be discontinued next year. Discontinued cars range from inexpensive compact cars to luxury SUVs and legendary supercars.
Browse this list of some of the most notable car models that won’t return in 2025 to stay informed about vehicles that may become rare, collectible, or harder to find.
The Italian automaker plans to discontinue two high-performance four-wheel-drive models, the Giulia Quadrifoglio sedan and the Stelvio Quadrifoglio SUV. Both models were available with the Ferrari 488-derived Alfa Romeo 690T engine, a powerful 2.9-liter V6 twin-turbo that could produce more than 500 horsepower.
Audi is officially ending the A4 name in 2025. The A4 sedan and Allroad wagon models are slated to be replaced with the new A5. The change is part of the German automaker’s plan to restructure its model lineup, which will be followed by discontinuing the current A5, S5, and RS5 coupes in the United States after 2025.
The French hypercar producer has announced the end of its flagship mid-engined, 16-cylinder Chiron after an 8-year production run. The final version, dubbed L’Ultime by the Molsheim automaker, was limited to 500 units. Bugatti intends to replace it with the upcoming Bugatti Tourbillon, the marque’s first plug-in hybrid EV.
One of America’s longest-lived and most beloved nameplates, the Camaro, appears to be ending after 2024. The final edition of the Camaro, the ZL1 Panther Edition, will be the last version of the sixth-generation model with no confirmed replacement in sight.
While the Malibu, Chevy’s long-lived sedan family, will be available as a 2025 model year on Chevrolet lots, General Motors has announced it will be the nameplate’s last.
The American electric vehicle producer, best known for producing the Fisker Karma, is discontinuing its current-generation Ocean crossover. The company filed for bankruptcy in June and will likely cease operations by 2025. The move also means that the other two models planned for release in 2025, the Alaska truck and the Ronin supercar, have been canceled.
Ferrari confirmed the discontinuation of its SF90 Stradale and 812 GTS models in an August 2024 financial report, having reached the end of their production lifecycles. Despite their success, these discontinuations were expected, as the Maranello automaker makes room for a new lineup of specialty models. Upcoming builds include the 12Cilindri, F80, and an unnamed model that will likely be the first 100% electric Ferrari.
Ford’s blue oval symbol has many SUVs and crossovers of different sizes in its catalog, such as the Explorer, Bronco, and Escape. The Edge, Ford’s midsize SUV, is larger than the Escape but smaller than the Explorer. After 2024, the Edge will no longer be available in the U.S. While a third-generation model is planned, it will be exclusive to the Chinese market.
The F-Type performance convertible and later coupe, most well-known for its supercharged V8, will be discontinued in 2025 after more than 87,000 units produced. Jaguar announced the final F-Type rolled off the assembly line in June, exactly 50 years after the last of its spiritual predecessor, the E-Type, did.
Nissan’s luxury division, Infiniti, will no longer offer its Q50 sedan in the U.S. after 2024, ending a 10-year run. Although its Japanese domestic market counterpart, the Nissan Skyline, remains on the catalog in its home country, the Q50’s departure makes it the last Infiniti sedan on American shores. From 2025 onwards, Infiniti will offer only SUV models such as the QX50, QX60, and the eight-passenger QX80.
As part of the brand’s electrification strategy, Maserati’s parent company, Stellantis, confirmed the discontinuation of the Ghibli luxury saloon as early as 2022. The Italian luxury carmaker is phasing out production of its V8 engines, with the V6s widely rumored to follow soon once the MC20 supercar’s production lifecycle ends.
The assembly of new Mini Clubman models in Oxford ended in February 2024, marking the official end of a nameplate introduced in 1969. In April, the parent company BMW Group introduced its spiritual successor, the Mini Aceman. This model will be a 100% electric crossover and is planned for release as a 2026 model year.
The sixth-generation Mitsubishi Mirage is primarily known for being one of the cheapest brand-new vehicles on the U.S. market, with an MSRP starting from $16,695 for the ES trim level. However, in August 2024, Mitsubishi North America’s spokesman, Jeremy Barnes, confirmed that the Mirage hatchback and Mirage G4 sedan will not return in 2025. This leaves Mitsubishi’s lineup exclusively comprised of SUVs like the Outlander and Eclipse Cross.
Two major models are leaving Nissan’s lineup at the end of 2024: the Titan pickup truck in the U.S. market and the legendary GT-R supercar globally. The latter was introduced in 2007 and is known to automotive fans by its chassis code, R35, which differentiates it from the previous-generation Skyline GT-Rs (R32, R33, R34). While Nissan will likely replace the Titan with a new all-electric truck, a successor to the GT-R has not been announced, leaving the nameplate’s fate unclear.
In an April 2024 press release, Subaru of America announced the end of the Subaru Legacy sedan, making the 2025 model year the final one. The seventh-generation Legacy is notable for being exclusively available in the U.S.; the previous version was retired from production in Japan in 2020. With the Legacy leaving in 2024, Subaru is retiring the nameplate after a 35-year career.
With so many models leaving the market in 2024, car buyers may have an opportunity to get a great deal. The phasing-out of a model or generation typically means dealerships will look to move their existing inventory. This often comes with price drops on new and lightly used cars, making it advantageous for buyers looking to find a new vehicle.
