Which cars won't make it to 2025? Roundup of discontinued models

2024-12-27 13:08:04 新闻中心

It’s the end of the road for the Chevrolet Camaro, Mitsubishi Mirage and Nissan Titan.

A handful of vehicles will be discontinued after the 2024 model year as automakers adjust their portfolios to better serve SUV- and truck-loving American buyers. 

“You do see SUVs here, but by and large, these are cars,” Cameron Rogers, news manager at automotive research site Edmunds, told USA TODAY. 

Rogers’ tip for fans of the vehicles on the chopping block: buy while you still can. Decent deals might be available since they are often automakers’ older, less popular models.

“If you like this car, go get it now, because you're not going to get another chance,” he said. 

Chevrolet Camaro

Chevrolet last year announced plans to retire the sixth generation Camaro after model year 2024.

“As we prepare to say goodbye to the current generation Camaro, it is difficult to overstate our gratitude to every Camaro customer, Camaro assembly line employee and race fan,” Scott Bell, vice president of Global Chevrolet, said in a statement last year. “While we are not announcing an immediate successor today, rest assured, this is not the end of Camaro’s story.”

Ford Edge

Ford’s Oakville Assembly plant in Ontario ended production of the Edge, a midsize SUV, to “retool for new vehicles,” according to a statement from the company. The automaker plans to expand production of the F-Series Super Duty truck – one of the company's most profitable vehicles – to the plant starting in 2026.

“Super Duty is a vital tool for businesses and people around the world and, even with our Kentucky Truck Plant and Ohio Assembly Plant running flat out, we can’t meet the demand,” Ford President and CEO Jim Farley said in a statement on the company’s website. “This move benefits our customers and supercharges our Ford Pro commercial business.”

Mitsubishi Mirage

Mitsubishi will stop producing the Mirage for the U.S. market late this year. The company expects “sufficient dealer stock” to last into the summer of 2025, according to a statement from spokesperson Jeremy Barnes.

Mini Clubman

Mini ended production of its Clubman – a small station wagon introduced in 2015 – at the end of February. Mini spokesperson Andrew Cutler said the electric Mini Aceman crossover will fill the Clubman’s space in the company’s global portfolio. 

Global market launch for the Aceman is expected this fall, but U.S. market availability has not been confirmed.

Nissan GT-R

After more than 17 years in production, the final Nissan GT-R for the North American market is set to come off the assembly line in October, according to a June press release from the automaker. 

Nissan is paying homage to the sports car by producing fewer than 200 two limited edition GT-Rs: the T-spec Takumi Edition (MSRP starting at $151,090) and the Skyline Edition (starting at $131,090). The models are set to arrive at select dealers this summer.

While the GT-R “leaves an unforgettable legacy, Nissan is now hyperfocused on the future and the next era of exciting innovation in performance,” the company said.

Nissan Titan

Nissan announced last year that it would end production of the Titan in the summer of 2024 as it modifies its Canton, Mississippi, plant to manufacture electric vehicles.  

“TITAN has been an important nameplate for Nissan in North America for 20 years, and we’re grateful to the dealers, customers and thousands of employees who have played pivotal roles throughout TITAN’s lifecycle,” reads an email statement from the company. 

Fisker Ocean

Fisker – the latest EV company to file for bankruptcy amid waning demand from U.S. drivers – halted production of its Ocean electric SUV. The vehicle was under regulatory investigation for faulty brakes and other issues.

Magna International, the company contracted to build the vehicle, continues "to assume no further production of the Fisker Ocean,” according to comments made by Chief Financial Officer Patrick McCann during an earnings call earlier this month. Fisker did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Ram 1500 TRX

Production of the Ram 1500 TRX truck wrapped up at the end of last year, but Ram is celebrating the model with a special edition for the 2024 model year: the RAM 1500 TRX 6.2L Supercharged V8 - Final Edition. Only 4,000 units "aimed at true enthusiasts" have been made available globally. 

“The introduction of the RAM 1500 TRX ushered in a significant shift in the segment's performance – when it debuted in 2020 as a 2021 model year, it cemented RAM Truck as North America's off-road truck leader,” Tim Kuniskis, CEO of the RAM brand, said in a February news release.  

After 2025: Chevrolet Malibu

After nine generations and over 10 million global sales, General Motors will end production of the Chevrolet Malibu in November. Introduced in 2016, the midsize sedan will officially retire after the 2025 model year. 

The decision comes as GM invests roughly $390 million to modify its Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas to produce Chevrolet Bolt electric vehicles.  

After 2025: Volvo S60

Volvo plans to sunset the S60 luxury sedan for U.S. buyers after the 2025 model year. Production at its Ridgeville, South Carolina, plant ended last month, and Volvo plans to reconfigure the space to produce its new flagship vehicle: the fully electric EX90 SUV.

After 2025: Subaru Legacy 

After more than three decades and over 1.3 million U.S. sales, production of Subaru's Legacy sedan ends next year.

The Legacy made its debut in 1989, and was the first Subaru manufactured in the U.S. at the company’s Indiana plant. An April news release from the company said the Legacy “began a new era for Subaru” as a competitive midsized sedan and wagon with “sleek styling and advanced technology.”  

While the Legacy is Subrau’s longest-running model line, its discontinuation “reflects market shifts from passenger cars to SUVs and crossovers and Subaru’s transition to electrified and fully electric vehicles,” the company said. Subaru plans to produce eight EV models by 2028. 

Luxury brand models

Luxury brands are also pulling the plug on a number of models after 2024.

  • The Jaguar F-Type sports car won't make it to 2025. First launched as a convertible, the F-Type was named the 2013 World Car Design of the Year in its inaugural year.
  • A Maserati spokesperson confirmed the Ghibli was discontinued at the end of last year, making 2024 the last model year for the luxury sport sedan.
  • Alfa Romeo's Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio models will not be available in the U.S. after 2024.
