As we approach the new year and dealerships fill with shiny 2025 models, it’s also time to say goodbye to some familiar faces in the automotive world. The relentless march of progress, shifting consumer preferences, and the industry’s accelerating pivot towards electrification mean that nearly three dozen cars, trucks, and SUVs will not be returning for the 2025 model year. For some, this farewell has been a long time coming, marking the end of an era. From iconic sports cars to everyday sedans, the list of discontinued vehicles for 2025 is significant, reflecting major changes within the automotive landscape. Let’s delve into the models that are driving off into the sunset in 2025.
Alfa Romeo Bids Farewell to Quadrifoglio Power (For Now)
Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio
The heart-stopping performance of the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio, with its gasoline engine, will no longer be available after 2024. Fans of Italian performance sedans will mourn the loss of this exhilarating model. However, Alfa Romeo suggests this isn’t a permanent goodbye for the Quadrifoglio badge. Larry Dominique, Head of North American Operations, hinted at a potential return of the cloverleaf emblem on future electric or hybrid performance vehicles. So, while the gasoline-powered Giulia Quadrifoglio is discontinued for 2025, its spirit might reappear in an electrified form in the coming years.
Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio
Joining its sedan sibling, the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio SUV is also being discontinued. This powerful SUV, boasting 505 horsepower, will not be part of the 2025 lineup as Alfa Romeo transitions away from internal combustion engines towards a future focused on battery-powered performance. The departure of both Quadrifoglio models signifies a significant shift for the brand, emphasizing its commitment to electric mobility while potentially reimagining its performance identity. The image showcases the 2024 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio, a high-performance SUV now discontinued for the 2025 model year due to the brand’s shift towards electric vehicles.
Audi Streamlines its Coupe and Convertible Offerings
Audi A5 Coupe / Cabrio
Audi is streamlining its model range, and unfortunately, the A5 Coupe and A5 Cabriolet are casualties of this strategy. The A5 sedan will remain, but the two-door and convertible versions, which have been part of the lineup since the first generation in 2007, will be discontinued in the US. Notably, the A5 Cabriolet was the last convertible model in Audi’s portfolio, marking the end of an era for Audi convertibles, at least for now. Consumers seeking a two-door Audi will need to look towards other models or explore the used car market.
BMW’s Performance SUV Strategy Shifts to Electric
BMW X3M
While not officially confirmed by BMW, all signs point to the discontinuation of the BMW X3M. The new generation X3 is unlikely to include a traditional M performance variant. Instead, BMW is focusing its performance SUV efforts on electric vehicles, with the upcoming all-electric iX3 M (or a similar name) expected to take the performance SUV mantle. This strategic move aligns with BMW’s broader electrification goals and signals a future where performance SUVs from the brand are increasingly battery-powered. This shift was hinted at in reports dating back to 2022, indicating a long-term plan for electric performance within the X3 lineup.
Bugatti Says Farewell to a Hypercar Legend
Bugatti Chiron
The reign of the Bugatti Chiron, a hypercar icon, has come to an end with the arrival of its successor, the Tourbillon. Over its successful eight-year run, the Chiron spawned numerous variations and briefly held the world record for top speed at an astonishing 304.8 miles per hour. The Chiron and its incredible W-16 engine will be missed by hypercar enthusiasts worldwide, marking the close of a chapter in Bugatti’s history as it embraces new horizons with the Tourbillon.
Chevrolet Camaro Drives into the Sunset (Again)
Chevrolet Camaro
Chevrolet has officially ended production of the Camaro, marking the end of its sixth generation. While the final sixth-generation Camaro, a powerful ZL1 1LE with a manual transmission, rolled off the assembly line in December 2023, some 2024 models might still be available at dealerships. This marks another pause in the Camaro’s history, and while the nameplate has been resurrected before, its future remains uncertain. The image features a 2024 Chevrolet Camaro, showcasing the final model year of the iconic muscle car before its discontinuation, potentially making remaining models highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts.
Chevrolet Malibu
The Chevrolet Malibu, a sedan with a long history, has quietly reached the end of its production run. The ninth generation of this sedan concluded production in November, making way for the anticipated new Bolt model. The Malibu has been a consistent presence in Chevy’s lineup for nearly nine years in its current iteration, but changing consumer preferences and the brand’s focus on electric vehicles have led to its discontinuation.
Ferrari Streamlines its GT Lineup
Ferrari 812 GTS
Ferrari’s model lifecycles are typically shorter than mainstream automakers, and the 812 GTS (formerly known as the 812 Superfast) is no exception. Production of this grand tourer, which began in 2017, ceased in the second quarter of 2024. In Ferrari terms, a seven-year run is a considerable duration. The image displays the Ferrari 812 GTS, a recently discontinued model known for its powerful V12 engine and open-top driving experience, highlighting the brand’s evolving lineup.
Ferrari Roma Coupe
If you were considering a Ferrari Roma coupe, time has run out. Ferrari discontinued the Roma coupe in the second quarter of 2024, alongside the 812 GTS. However, the Roma Spider convertible variant remains available for those seeking open-top Italian style, at least until its eventual discontinuation.
Ferrari SF90
The Ferrari SF90, a hybrid hypercar, has also concluded its production run in the second quarter of 2024, coinciding with the end of the 812 GTS and Roma Coupe. The arrival of the new F80 hypercar likely prompted the SF90’s discontinuation. However, the more extreme SF90 XX version will continue to be offered. The image shows the Ferrari SF90, a discontinued hybrid hypercar that represented Ferrari’s foray into electrification in its high-performance models, now succeeded by newer models in the lineup.
Fisker’s Electric Dream Ends Abruptly
Fisker Ocean
Fisker, an ambitious electric vehicle startup, faced significant challenges, culminating in bankruptcy. As a result, the Fisker Ocean electric SUV is no longer in production and will not see a 2025 model year. While some 2023 models might still be available at discounted prices, the future of the Fisker brand and the Ocean model remains uncertain after the company’s financial difficulties.
Infiniti Focuses on SUVs, Discontinues Sedan
Infiniti Q50
Infiniti is restructuring its model lineup, shifting focus towards the more popular SUV and crossover segments. The Q50 sedan, Infiniti’s last remaining sedan model, will be discontinued after the 2024 model year. This decision follows the discontinuation of the Q60 coupe and signifies Infiniti’s strategic realignment to meet current market demands, prioritizing SUVs and crossovers over traditional sedans. The image showcases the 2023 Infiniti Q50 Red Sport 400 Black Opal Edition, representing the final model year of Infiniti’s sedan as the brand pivots towards SUVs and crossovers.
Jaguar Streamlines to a Single Model Before EV Transformation
Jaguar E-Pace
Jaguar is undergoing a radical transformation, transitioning to an all-electric brand. As part of this overhaul, Jaguar is significantly reducing its model lineup for 2025, retaining only the F-Pace. The E-Pace, a compact SUV introduced in 2017, is among the models being discontinued. The E-Pace never achieved significant sales volume for Jaguar, making its discontinuation a less surprising decision as the brand streamlines its offerings.
Jaguar F-Type
The Jaguar F-Type, a beloved sports car and spiritual successor to the iconic E-Type, has also concluded its production run. The final F-Type, finished in a distinctive Giola Green paint, rolled off the production line, marking the end of a decade-long run for this admired sports car. The discontinuation of the F-Type symbolizes Jaguar’s full commitment to electrification and the end of its gasoline-powered sports car era. The image presents the Jaguar F-Type, a recently discontinued sports car, symbolizing the end of an era for Jaguar’s combustion engine sports cars as the brand transitions to electric vehicles.
Jaguar I-Pace
The Jaguar I-Pace, Jaguar’s first foray into electric vehicles, has also been discontinued as the brand prepares for its all-electric future. Production of the I-Pace concluded recently, paving the way for new electric models, including the Type 00, which is expected to serve as a spiritual successor to the I-Pace in Jaguar’s evolving EV lineup.
Jaguar XE
The Jaguar XE, an often-overlooked compact luxury sedan, is also being discontinued. While not as popular as German rivals, the XE offered appealing engine options and features, including the high-performance XE Project 8 variant. Despite its merits, the XE did not achieve mainstream success, leading to its discontinuation as part of Jaguar’s broader restructuring. The image showcases the Jaguar XE, a discontinued compact luxury sedan that, while praised for its driving dynamics and features, did not achieve the sales success of its competitors in the market.
Jaguar XF
The Jaguar XF, the brand’s larger sedan, shared the fate of its siblings and is also discontinued. The XF was offered with various engine configurations, including four-cylinder, V6, and briefly, a V8. However, as Jaguar transitions to electric vehicles, the XF, like the rest of the gasoline-powered lineup (excluding the F-Pace for 2025), has been discontinued.
Jeep Gladiator Manual Transmission Bites the Dust
Jeep Gladiator Manual
For fans of manual transmissions, the Jeep Gladiator brings some disappointing news. While the Gladiator model itself continues for 2025, the manual transmission option has been discontinued. From now on, the eight-speed automatic transmission will be the sole transmission choice for the off-road pickup. The image features a 2024 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon X, highlighting the model that will continue into 2025 but without the manual transmission option, a loss for purists and off-road enthusiasts who prefer manual control.
Lamborghini Huracan Bows Out for a New Era
Lamborghini Huracan
The Lamborghini Huracan, a highly successful sports car for the brand, has reached the end of its production run. After a decade of production, the Huracan became Lamborghini’s best-selling sports car ever, contributing significantly to the brand’s record sales in recent years. The Huracan is succeeded by the new Temerario, marking the beginning of a new chapter for Lamborghini’s sports car lineup.
Maserati Streamlines its Sedan and SUV Lineup
Maserati Ghibli
The current generation Maserati Ghibli sedan, after 11 years on the market, is being discontinued for 2025. As Maserati moves towards electrification, the aging Ghibli is being phased out. A future replacement, potentially electric or hybrid, is possible, but for now, the current Ghibli is no more. The image shows a 2024 Maserati Ghibli, representing the final model year of the sedan as Maserati streamlines its lineup and transitions towards electrification.
Maserati Levante
The Maserati Levante SUV is also being discontinued as part of Maserati’s streamlining efforts. Maserati is focusing its lineup on the MC20 sports car, Grecale SUV, and GranTurismo, leading to the discontinuation of the Levante, despite it being one of the brand’s top-selling models. Production of the Levante officially ended in March 2024.
Maserati Quattroporte
The Maserati Quattroporte sedan joins the Ghibli and Levante in being discontinued after the 2024 model year. The Quattroporte, in its current generation, has been in production for over a decade and its discontinuation also marks the end of Maserati’s use of its lauded V-8 engine. The final V-8 powered Maserati is the Quattroporte Grand Finale, a special edition marking the end of an era. The image features the Maserati Quattroporte, a recently discontinued sedan that also marks the end of Maserati’s V8 engine era as the brand moves towards electrification and a streamlined model range.
Mitsubishi Mirage Fades Away
Mitsubishi Mirage
Both the hatchback and sedan versions of the Mitsubishi Mirage are reportedly being discontinued at the end of 2024. The Mirage, known for being one of the most affordable new cars in America, struggled with sluggish performance and an outdated platform, making it a less competitive offering in the market.
Mini Trims its Wagon Offering
Mini Clubman
Mini’s revamped lineup will no longer include the distinctive Clubman wagon. While a limited run of fewer than 100 Final Edition Clubman models will be available in the US for 2024, priced at $47,145, Mini is sunsetting its station wagon for the foreseeable future. The image shows a 2024 Mini Clubman, representing the final edition of the station wagon model as Mini streamlines its lineup and moves away from this body style, at least for the current generation.
Nissan GT-R’s Legendary Run Concludes in the US
Nissan GT-R
The Nissan GT-R, a legendary sports car with a devoted following, will officially end production in the US in October. Nissan is commemorating the GT-R’s departure with two special editions, the Skyline Edition and Takumi Edition, celebrating the GT-R’s rich heritage. The current R35 generation GT-R debuted in 2009, making its production run remarkably long for a high-performance sports car.
Nissan Titan
The Nissan Titan pickup truck is another long-standing Nissan model that will not continue beyond 2024. Despite the popularity of trucks in the US market, the Titan struggled to compete with segment leaders, with sales figures remaining relatively low. Nissan sold fewer than 20,000 Titans in 2023, leading to its discontinuation. The image shows a 2024 Nissan Titan, representing the final model year of Nissan’s full-size pickup truck as the brand discontinues the model due to low sales figures in a competitive market segment.
Porsche 718 Boxster and Cayman Depart Europe (For Now)
Porsche 718 Boxster / Cayman (In Europe)
Porsche 718 Boxster and Cayman models are being discontinued in Europe due to failing to meet new EU General Safety Regulations, particularly cybersecurity requirements. While these models will continue to be offered in the US for another year until electric versions arrive, European customers will not be able to register new gasoline-powered 718 Boxsters or Caymans. Porsche is expected to introduce new electric versions of the Boxster and Cayman for the European market in the coming years.
Ram Trims its Pickup Lineup
Ram 1500 Classic
Ram is streamlining its pickup truck offerings. While the Ram 1500 has been redesigned, Ram continued to sell the previous generation model as the 1500 Classic. However, the Ram 1500 Classic is now being discontinued, and this also marks the end of the Hemi V-8 engine option within the Ram 1500 lineup, as the new generation focuses on different powertrains. The image features a 2019 Ram 1500 Classic Warlock, representing the discontinued previous generation Ram 1500, also marking the end of the Hemi V8 option in this model line as Ram focuses on its newer generation pickups.
Ram 1500 TRX
The high-performance Ram 1500 TRX, known for its powerful 702-horsepower engine, is also being discontinued. The TRX is being replaced by the new Ram 1500 RHO. Limited quantities of the TRX may still be available, but the supercharged, high-performance truck will no longer be offered for the 2025 model year.
Toyota Streamlines its Supra and SUV Offerings
Toyota Supra Four-Cylinder
Toyota is simplifying the Supra lineup. The six-cylinder Supra will continue to be offered, but the more affordable four-cylinder version has been discontinued due to slower sales. Those seeking a four-cylinder Supra will now need to explore the used car market. The image shows a Toyota Supra Four-Cylinder model, representing the discontinued, more affordable version of the sports car as Toyota focuses on the six-cylinder variant in its lineup.
Toyota Venza
The Toyota Venza, a hybrid SUV reintroduced in 2020, is being discontinued after a relatively short four-year run. The Venza did not achieve the sales success of other Toyota SUVs like the RAV4, leading to its discontinuation. The Venza has already been replaced by the new Toyota Crown Signia in Toyota’s lineup.
Looking Ahead
The list of Cars Being Discontinued In 2025 reflects significant shifts in the automotive industry. The push towards electrification, changing consumer preferences, and manufacturers streamlining their lineups are all contributing factors. While saying goodbye to familiar models can be bittersweet for enthusiasts, it also paves the way for new innovations and models that will shape the future of driving. Staying informed about these changes ensures you’re up-to-date with the evolving automotive landscape.
