Which Cars Are Being Discontinued by 2025? A Summary of Models Going Away
The Chevrolet Camaro, Mitsubishi Mirage, and Nissan Titan are set to end production soon.
A few models will be retired following the 2024 model year as car manufacturers adapt their offerings to meet the growing demand for SUVs and trucks among American consumers.
As Cameron Rogers, news manager at car research site Edmunds, stated to YSL News, “Though you see some SUVs here, most of these are traditional cars.”
For those loyal to the models being discontinued, Rogers recommends purchasing now. There may be good deals available since these cars are typically older and less desirable options from manufacturers.
“If you’re fond of this car, it’s best to buy it now, as this opportunity won’t come again,” he mentioned.
Chevrolet Camaro
Chevrolet announced last year that it will cease production of the sixth generation Camaro after the 2024 model year.
“Saying farewell to the current generation Camaro is bittersweet, and we are immensely thankful to all our Camaro customers, assembly line staff, and racing enthusiasts,” Scott Bell, VP of Global Chevrolet, remarked in a statement. “Although we are not revealing an immediate successor, this does not signal the end for the Camaro.”
Ford Edge
The Ford Edge, a midsize SUV, has seen its production end at Ford’s Oakville Assembly plant in Ontario as the location prepares to manufacture new vehicles. The company is shifting focus to amplify production of the F-Series Super Duty truck, which is among its best-selling models, starting in 2026.
“The Super Duty is essential for businesses and individuals globally, and even with our Kentucky Truck Plant and Ohio Assembly Plant operating at full capacity, we cannot meet demand,” informed Ford President and CEO Jim Farley via the company’s official site. “This decision will enhance our customer service and power our Ford Pro commercial sector.”
Mitsubishi Mirage
Mitsubishi plans to halt production of the Mirage for the U.S. at the end of this year. The brand anticipates having enough stock at dealerships to last until summer 2025, according to spokesperson Jeremy Barnes.
Mini Clubman
Mini has ceased production of the Clubman, a small station wagon launched in 2015, as of the end of February. Mini spokesperson Andrew Cutler indicated that the electric Mini Aceman crossover will take the Clubman’s place in their lineup.
The Aceman is projected to launch globally this fall, though its availability in the U.S. hasn’t yet been confirmed.
Nissan GT-R
After over 17 years in production, Nissan’s final GT-R for North America is expected to roll off the assembly line this October, based on a press release from June.
Nissan is commemorating the sports car’s legacy by producing fewer than 200 limited-edition GT-Rs: the T-spec Takumi Edition (starting at $151,090) and the Skyline Edition (beginning at $131,090). These models should arrive at select dealerships this summer.
While the GT-R is “leaving behind a remarkable legacy, Nissan is now focusing intensely on the future, exploring new realms of performance innovation,” the company stated.
Nissan Titan
Last year, Nissan revealed its plans to cease production of the Titan by summer 2024 as it prepares its Canton, Mississippi plant for electric vehicle production.
In a statement, Nissan expressed appreciation for the Titan’s significance over the past 20 years in North America, saying, “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.”
Fisker Ocean
Fisker, a new player in the electric vehicle industry, has paused production of its Ocean SUV following a bankruptcy filing linked to decreasing demand from U.S. consumers. The Ocean SUV was under scrutiny for brake defects and other concerns.
Magna International, the production partner for Fisker, confirmed that they will not continue making the Ocean. CFO Patrick McCann stated in a recent earnings call, “Magna continues to assume no further production of the Fisker Ocean.” Fisker has not yet provided any comments on this matter.
Ram 1500 TRX
Production of the Ram 1500 TRX truck concluded at the end of last year, but Ram is honoring the model with a special edition for 2024: the RAM 1500 TRX 6.2L Supercharged V8 – Final Edition. Only 4,000 units are available worldwide, specifically targeting dedicated fans.
As Tim Kuniskis, CEO of the RAM brand, noted in a February press release, “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.”
After 2025: Chevrolet Malibu
General Motors is set to halt production of the Chevrolet Malibu in November after nine generations and more than 10 million units sold worldwide. This midsize sedan, launched in 2016, will retire after the 2025 model year.
This decision is part of GM’s broader strategy, as the company invests around $390 million to update the Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas to manufacture Chevrolet Bolt electric vehicles.
After 2025: Volvo S60
Volvo will discontinue the S60 luxury sedan in the U.S. after the 2025 model year, with production at their Ridgeville, South Carolina, facility having concluded last month. The site will be revamped to produce the new flagship fully electric EX90 SUV.
After 2025: Subaru Legacy
After over 30 years of production and more than 1.3 million sales in the U.S., Subaru is set to end the Legacy sedan next year.
Launched in 1989, the Legacy was the first Subaru produced in America, at the company’s Indiana plant. According to Subaru’s April announcement, the Legacy “began a new era for Subaru” as it provided competitive options in the midsized sedan and wagon segments featuring “sleek styling and advanced technology.”
The discontinuation of the Legacy, Subaru’s longest-running model line, is indicative of market changes favoring SUVs and crossovers, alongside Subaru’s shift towards electrified and fully electric vehicles.
Subaru has revealed its intention to introduce eight electric vehicle (EV) models by the year 2028.
Luxury Vehicle Updates
Luxury car manufacturers are discontinuing several models after 2024.
- The Jaguar F-Type sports car will not be available in 2025. Initially launched as a convertible, the F-Type won the title of 2013 World Car Design of the Year in its debut year.
- A representative from Maserati confirmed that the Ghibli has been phased out as of the end of last year, marking 2024 as its final production year.
- Alfa Romeo’s Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio models will no longer be offered in the U.S. after 2024.
