The automotive industry constantly evolves, with manufacturers introducing new models and phasing out others. As we approach 2025, several beloved cars are being discontinued. Here’s a look at 15 vehicles that won’t return next year.

Chevrolet Camaro

The iconic muscle car, Chevrolet Camaro, will be taking its final bow. Despite its rich history and strong fan base, discontinuing it comes from declining sales and a shift towards electric cars

Ford Edge

Ford is streamlining its lineup, and the mid-sized Edge crossover is one of the casualties. This move is part of Ford’s broader strategy to key in on electric automobiles to respond to changing demands and consumer preferences that increasingly favor these builds over traditional crossovers. 

Alfa Romeo Giulia

This car has been around for quite some time, but its novelty has worn off as consumers’ tastes have shifted. Alfa Romeo has been forced to divert its resources elsewhere and end the legend’s production. Hopefully, we’ll get a special-edition electric version someday.

Chrysler 300

While it has been a staple of American luxury sedans, it is not anymore. As part of its overhaul, Chrysler is shifting from sedans to more modern and electric vehicles in an effort to meet the demands of a system moving away from traditional models.

Kia Stinger

Even the sporty Kia Stinger is not free from the current culling. The parent company has shifted its investments to SUVs and electric cars. It’s nothing personal—the company is trying to remain competitive in the industry by offering what customers want.

Audi TT

A new electric lineup and models that are in higher demand will take the place of the TT sports car. This shift underscores Audi’s commitment to sustainability and innovation in the automotive industry, reflecting their strategic focus on cutting-edge technology and eco-friendly solutions.

Audi R8

After years of tearing the asphalt with its V10 engine, the R8 is finally hanging its boots. Its outdated specs and Audi’s gradual shift away from combustion engines meant it was only a matter of time before this iconic ride was retired.

Chevrolet Malibu

Many people picked the Malibu as their first family car due to its perfect size. Sadly, due to dwindling sales, Chevrolet has been forced to balance the books and move away with the model from 2025. A few more models are on their way out as the automaker focuses on more profitable ventures in the future.

Dodge Durango

For quite some time, this car came highly recommended due to its impressive power and versatility. Nonetheless, its prestigious history was not enough to save it from the culling as Dodge refined its lineup. The brand is shaking things up and, hopefully, will get a worthy replacement for the champ.

Ford Escape

Unlike most cars on this list, which have dwindling sales and attention, the Ford Escape still maintains a dedicated fanbase. It is a compact SUV that meets most necessities without breaking the bank. Unfortunately, as Ford diverts its focus to sustainability and tech, the vehicle is unable to hold its own in that department.

Jeep Cherokee

Loved for its rugged capability and comfortable ride, the Cherokee’s discontinuation is part of Jeep’s strategy to introduce more modern and fuel-efficient vehicles, including electric models. After years of serving us well, we begrudgingly bid the beast farewell.

Mini Clubman

In a market dominated by larger vehicles, this compact car struggled to maintain strong sales despite its split rear doors and versatile design, forcing the discontinuation. Currently, Mini is focusing on streamlining its lineup and enhancing its electric vehicle offerings.

Mitsubishi Mirage

Despite its affordability and fuel efficiency, the Mirage has faced declining sales and increasing competition. Mitsubishi is now switching gears and entering the sustainability and electric ring, hoping to regain its past glory.

Nissan GTR

In the past, Nissan’s “Godzilla” machine has been a symbol of its engineering excellence. However, with changing market dynamics and emission regulations, Nissan is moving towards more sustainable models. So, with sadness, the GTR will take its final bow in 2024.

Bugatti Chiron

The Bugatti Chiron will also be axed in 2025, which is unsurprising considering they just unleashed the new Bugatti Tourbillon. Nonetheless, this decision also aligns with the company’s future as it phases out its petrol engine lineup.
