As we approach the new year, the automotive landscape is already populated with most of the 2025 model year vehicles. However, this transition also signifies the end of the road for a significant number of cars, trucks, and SUVs that will not be returning for the new model year. For many of these Discontinued Cars, the end has been anticipated, marking shifts in manufacturer strategy, market trends, or the natural lifecycle of vehicle models.
Several factors contribute to these automotive departures. Jaguar is undergoing a significant transformation, phasing out its entire current lineup to pave the way for an all-electric future. Nissan, under new leadership, is streamlining its offerings by discontinuing models that haven’t resonated strongly with consumers. Maserati is also bidding farewell to some of its older luxury vehicles as it looks to refresh its portfolio.
Conversely, some of these discontinued cars will be genuinely missed by enthusiasts and the automotive community. The Nissan GT-R, an icon of performance, is finally concluding its impressive run in the US market. Ram has already moved on from the powerful TRX, and the groundbreaking Bugatti Chiron makes way for its successor, the Tourbillon. These departures mark the end of significant chapters in automotive history.
Here’s a detailed look at the cars discontinued in 2025:
Alfa Romeo Discontinued Models
Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio
The high-performance Quadrifoglio trim of the Alfa Romeo Giulia sedan is being discontinued with its gasoline engine after the 2024 model year. While this marks the end of the current iteration, Alfa Romeo has suggested that the Quadrifoglio badge could reappear on future electric or hybrid performance vehicles. This move reflects the brand's shift towards electrification while keeping the door open for performance-oriented models in the future.Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio

The Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio SUV, known for its powerful 505-horsepower engine, is also being discontinued for 2025. Similar to the Giulia Quadrifoglio, this decision is part of Alfa Romeo’s broader strategy to transition away from internal combustion engines in favor of battery-powered performance. The discontinuation of the Stelvio Quadrifoglio signals a significant change in Alfa Romeo’s performance SUV strategy.
Audi Discontinued Models
Audi A5 Coupe / Cabriolet
Audi is simplifying its model lineup, leading to the discontinuation of the A5 Coupe and A5 Cabriolet. Moving forward, the A5 nameplate will only be available as a sedan. The two-door and convertible versions, which have been part of the Audi lineup since the A5's US debut in 2007, are being phased out. 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.BMW Discontinued Models
BMW X3 M
Alt text: BMW X3M performance SUV, pictured in a dynamic driving scene, likely to be discontinued in favor of electric performance models.
While not officially confirmed by BMW, all indications suggest the discontinuation of the BMW X3 M. The new generation X3 is unlikely to include a traditional M performance variant. Instead, BMW is expected to concentrate on electric performance SUVs, potentially with an all-electric iX3 M. This shift aligns with a 2022 report suggesting the next X3 performance model would be electric only, signaling BMW’s direction in performance SUVs.
Bugatti Discontinued Models
Bugatti Chiron
With the introduction of the Bugatti Tourbillon, production of the iconic Chiron has ended. The Chiron enjoyed an impressive eight-year run, spawning numerous special editions and briefly holding the world record for top speed at 304.8 mph. The Chiron, with its remarkable W-16 engine, will be remembered as a pinnacle of hypercar engineering and performance, marking the end of an era for Bugatti's gasoline-powered hypercars.Chevrolet Discontinued Models
Chevrolet Camaro

The Chevrolet Camaro, a legendary nameplate in American muscle cars, is discontinued for 2025. Chevrolet previously discontinued the four-cylinder Camaro, and now the entire Camaro line concludes with the sixth generation model, whose final unit was produced in December 2023—a ZL1 1LE with a manual transmission and 650 horsepower. While production has ceased, new 2024 Camaros may still be available at dealerships, representing the last chance to purchase a new gasoline Camaro.
Chevrolet Malibu
The Chevrolet Malibu, a sedan with a long history, is also among the discontinued cars. Production of the ninth-generation Malibu, which has been in the market for nearly nine years, officially ended in November. This discontinuation is part of Chevrolet’s strategy to make room for new models like the upcoming Bolt, reflecting a shift in Chevrolet's sedan strategy and potentially towards electric vehicles.Ferrari Discontinued Models
Ferrari 812 GTS

Ferrari has discontinued the 812 GTS (formerly known as the 812 Superfast), with production ending in the second quarter of 2024. In Ferrari’s lineup, models typically have shorter lifecycles, and the 812 GTS, which began production in 2017, had a run considered lengthy by Ferrari standards. Its discontinuation is part of Ferrari’s ongoing model refresh cycle.
Ferrari Roma Coupe

Customers interested in the Roma design can still opt for the Spider, at least until it too is eventually discontinued, as Ferrari continues to refine its model offerings.
Ferrari SF90

With the arrival of the new Ferrari F80 hypercar, production of the SF90 hybrid hypercar ceased in the second quarter of 2024. The SF90, along with the 812 GTS and Roma Coupe, was part of Ferrari’s model discontinuation wave. The more extreme SF90 XX variant will continue to be produced, but the standard SF90 marks its exit, showcasing Ferrari’s rapid innovation and model turnover.
Fisker Discontinued Models
Fisker Ocean
Fisker's challenging year culminated in bankruptcy filing, leading to the discontinuation of the Fisker Ocean electric SUV. Despite efforts to revive the brand, Fisker's bankruptcy in June effectively ended the Ocean's production run. While unlikely to see a 2025 model year, remaining 2023 inventory might be available at significantly reduced prices, presenting a unique opportunity for buyers willing to take on the risks associated with a bankrupt brand.Infiniti Discontinued Models
Infiniti Q50

Infiniti is restructuring its lineup, and the aging Q50 sedan is being discontinued after the 2024 model year. Following the Q60 coupe’s discontinuation, the Q50 was Infiniti’s last remaining sedan. The brand is now focusing on the more popular luxury SUV and crossover segments, reflecting market trends and consumer preferences in the luxury automotive sector.
Jaguar Discontinued Models
Jaguar E-Pace
Photo by: JaguarJaguar is dramatically reducing its lineup to just the F-Pace for 2025, as it transitions to an all-electric brand. The E-Pace, a compact SUV introduced in 2017, is among the discontinued cars. Given its lower sales figures compared to other models, the E-Pace’s discontinuation is not entirely surprising as Jaguar streamlines its offerings for its electric transformation.
Jaguar F-Type

The last Jaguar F-Type has already been produced, marking the end of Jaguar’s iconic sports car as the company moves towards electrification. The F-Type, which lasted for 10 years and multiple iterations, was honored with a special Giola Green finish, reminiscent of the classic E-Type. Its departure signifies a major shift in Jaguar’s brand identity and product strategy.
Jaguar I-Pace
Photo by: JaguarThe Jaguar I-Pace, an early entrant in the electric SUV market, has also ended production ahead of Jaguar’s full electrification. Production ceased this month, with the upcoming Type 00 electric vehicle expected to serve as a replacement, albeit in a different vehicle segment and price point. The I-Pace served as a transitional model for Jaguar into the EV space.
Jaguar XE

The Jaguar XE, a compact luxury sedan often considered underrated, is also discontinued. While it didn’t achieve the popularity of rivals like the BMW 3 Series or Mercedes-Benz C-Class, the XE offered appealing engine options and features, including the high-performance XE Project 8 variant. Its discontinuation is part of Jaguar’s broader exit from the traditional sedan market.
Jaguar XF
Photo by: JaguarJaguar’s larger sedan, the XF, is also among the discontinued cars, ending production in mid-2024. Like the rest of the Jaguar lineup, the XF is a casualty of the brand’s pivot to electric vehicles. The latest XF generation offered various trims and engines, including four-cylinder, supercharged V-6, and briefly, the 5.0-liter V-8, marking the end of Jaguar’s traditional sedan offerings.
Jeep Discontinued Models
Jeep Gladiator Manual Transmission

While the Jeep Gladiator model itself continues for 2025, the manual transmission option has been discontinued. Jeep is phasing out the manual gearbox for its off-road pickup, making the eight-speed automatic the only transmission choice. This change may disappoint purists who prefer manual transmissions for off-roading, but reflects broader trends in transmission preferences and manufacturing efficiency.
Lamborghini Discontinued Models
Lamborghini Huracan
Photo by: LamborghiniThe Lamborghini Huracan has concluded its successful 10-year production run, making way for the new Lamborghini Temerario.

Its discontinuation marks the end of a highly successful model that solidified Lamborghini’s presence in the supercar market and helped achieve unprecedented sales figures.
Maserati Discontinued Models
Maserati Ghibli

After 11 years in the market, the current generation Maserati Ghibli is being discontinued for 2025. As Maserati moves towards electrification, the Ghibli, considered somewhat dated, may be replaced in the future with an electric or hybrid model. The discontinuation signals Maserati’s move to modernize its lineup and embrace new powertrain technologies.
Maserati Levante
Maserati is streamlining its lineup to focus on models like the MC20 sports car, Grecale SUV, and GranTurismo. This strategy leads to the discontinuation of the Levante SUV, despite being one of Maserati's best-selling models. Production of the Levante officially ended in March 2024, as Maserati prioritizes newer models and potentially shifts focus within the SUV segment.Maserati Quattroporte
Alt text: Maserati Quattroporte performance sedan, another model discontinued by Maserati as they phase out older models and their V-8 engines.
Similar to the Levante, the Maserati Quattroporte is discontinued after the 2024 model year. This performance sedan, in its current generation for over 10 years, also marks the departure of Maserati’s acclaimed V-8 engine from the Quattroporte lineup. The final V-8 powered Maserati, the Quattroporte Grand Finale, represents the end of an era for Maserati’s V-8 sedans.
Mitsubishi Discontinued Models
Mitsubishi Mirage
Both hatchback and sedan versions of the Mitsubishi Mirage are reportedly being discontinued at the end of 2024. Despite being one of the most affordable new cars in the US, the Mirage’s outdated platform and modest performance led to its discontinuation. Its departure reflects changing consumer expectations and market demands for more refined and capable vehicles, even in the budget segment.Mini Discontinued Models
Mini Clubman
Alt text: 2024 Mini Clubman Final Edition wagon, a discontinued model with limited Final Edition units available, highlighting its unique wagon styling.
Mini’s updated lineup will no longer include the Clubman wagon. While still available in 2024 in limited “Final Edition” quantities, Mini is discontinuing the Clubman station wagon for the foreseeable future. This move indicates a shift in Mini’s model strategy, potentially focusing on core models and emerging segments rather than niche wagon variants.
Nissan Discontinued Models
Nissan GT-R
The Nissan GT-R, a performance icon, is officially ending production in the US in October. Nissan is commemorating its departure with special Skyline Edition and Takumi Edition trims, honoring the GT-R's heritage. The current R35 GT-R, debuted in 2009, has had a long and impactful run, and its discontinuation marks the end of a significant chapter in Nissan's sports car history.Nissan Titan

The Nissan Titan pickup truck is another long-standing Nissan model being discontinued for 2025. Despite the popularity of trucks in the US market, the Titan has struggled in sales compared to competitors, leading to its discontinuation. Nissan sold fewer than 20,000 Titans in 2023, making its exit a strategic decision in a highly competitive truck segment.
Porsche Discontinued Models (Europe)
Porsche 718 Boxster / Cayman (In Europe)
Porsche 718 Boxster and Cayman models are being discontinued in Europe due to failing to meet the European Union's General Safety Regulation, particularly cybersecurity requirements. While these models continue in the US for another year until electric versions arrive, European regulations are forcing their discontinuation on the current platform. Porsche has no plans to update the current platform for Europe, with new electric models expected in the coming years.Ram Discontinued Models
Ram 1500 Classic
Alt text: 2019 Ram 1500 Classic Warlock pickup truck, the previous generation Ram 1500 being discontinued, noting the end of the Hemi V-8 option in this model.
The Ram 1500 Classic, the previous generation Ram 1500, is being discontinued after being sold alongside the new-generation model for nearly five years. This discontinuation also means the end of the Hemi V-8 engine option in the Ram 1500 Classic lineup, as Ram streamlines its offerings and focuses on the latest generation trucks.
Ram 1500 TRX
The high-performance Ram 1500 TRX is discontinued, with the new Ram 1500 RHO serving as its replacement, albeit with a different engine and performance profile. The 702-horsepower TRX will no longer be available in the US after this year. Limited quantities of the supercharged TRX may still be available for purchase, marking the end of an era for high-horsepower, gasoline-powered performance trucks in the Ram lineup.Toyota Discontinued Models
Toyota Supra Four-Cylinder
Alt text: Toyota Supra four-cylinder model, discontinued due to slower sales compared to the six-cylinder variant, pictured on a winding road.
Toyota has discontinued the four-cylinder version of the Supra for the 2025 model year, likely due to slower sales compared to the six-cylinder variant. The six-cylinder Supra will continue to be offered. Enthusiasts looking for the four-cylinder Supra will now need to explore the used car market, as Toyota focuses on the higher-performance six-cylinder model.
Toyota Venza
Photo by: ToyotaThe Toyota Venza hybrid SUV, reintroduced in 2020, is also among the discontinued cars. Despite being a hybrid SUV, the Venza did not achieve significant sales volumes, with monthly sales peaking in early 2021 and averaging lower figures. Compared to the highly successful RAV4, the Venza’s sales were modest, leading to its discontinuation and replacement by the new Toyota Crown Signia, as Toyota refines its hybrid SUV offerings.
