As the automotive industry embraces the electric future, several car models won’t make it to 2025. This shift is largely driven by manufacturers retooling their production lines to accommodate electric vehicles (EVs) and more profitable models. Here’s a rundown of the major car models saying goodbye.
1. Audi A5 Coupe and Convertible
While the Audi A5 Sportback will continue to be available in 2025, the coupe and convertible versions will be discontinued after the 2024 model year. Audi’s strategy includes launching 20 new or updated models by 2026, with half of them being electric vehicles.
2. Ford Edge
Ford has ceased production of its Edge SUV at the Oakville Assembly Plant in Ontario, Canada. The plant will be retooled for manufacturing the highly demanded F-Series Super Duty trucks starting in 2025. Ford is focusing on strengthening its commercial vehicle lineup.
3. Lamborghini Huracán
The Lamborghini Huracán’s lifecycle has come to an end to make way for the launch of its successor, the Temerario. This marks the Italian automaker’s ongoing evolution of its luxury sports car portfolio.
4. Mitsubishi Mirage
Mitsubishi will stop producing the Mirage compact hatchback for the U.S. market by the end of 2024. However, dealer stocks are expected to last until mid-2025.
5. Nissan GT-R
Production of the Nissan GT-R for the North American market ended in October 2024 after 17 years. Nissan has stated its commitment to future innovations in high-performance vehicles.
6. Nissan Titan
The Nissan Titan truck was discontinued in the summer of 2024. Nissan plans to use its Canton, Mississippi, plant to manufacture EVs, emphasizing its shift toward an electrified future.
7. Toyota Venza
Toyota has decided to discontinue the Venza for the U.S. market after the 2024 model year. It will be replaced by the 2025 Toyota Crown Signia, a premium crossover SUV.
8. Audi A4 (After 2025)
The Audi A4 will soon be replaced by the A5 Sportback, aligning with Audi’s plan to transition combustion-engine vehicles to odd-numbered model names and electric models to even numbers.
9. Volvo S60 (After 2025)
Volvo is ending production of its S60 luxury sedan to focus on manufacturing its fully electric flagship SUV, the EX90. The 2025 S60 will be the final model year available in the U.S.
Key Takeaways
The transition to electric vehicles and evolving consumer preferences are reshaping the automotive landscape. While some models are retiring, their legacy lives on, with many expected to be replaced by innovative and sustainable alternatives.
