Certain vehicles will not be manufactured after 2024 as automakers make changes to their portfolios.
Much of this will cater to SUV and truck-loving American buyers. Although some of the discontinued models are SUVs, the vast majority are cars that have been around for years.
Among the discontinued models are the Chevrolet Camaro, Ford Edge, and Nissan Titan.
While Chevrolet announced last year that it would retire the sixth-generation Camaro after model year 2024, the company assured customers that it was not the end of the Camaro’s story, despite no immediate successor being made public at the time.
Production has also come to an end for the Ford Edge, a mid-sized SUV, which was produced at Ford’s Oakville Assembly plant in Ontario. Instead, the company plans to expand production of the F-Series Super Duty truck in 2026. The F-series has provento be one of Ford’s most profitable ventures.
“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. This move benefits our customers and supercharges our Ford Pro commercial business,” said Ford President and CEO Jim Farley in a statement on the company’s website.
The Mini Clubman, first introduced in 2015, will also come to the end of production as of March next year, to be replaced by an electric version, the Mini Aceman crossover, the company said. The vehicle is set to launch this fall on the global market, with availability in the U.S. yet to be confirmed.
Nissan announced in June that the final Nissan GT-R for the North American market is slated for production in October. The vehicle has seen production in the U.S. for nearly two decades.
The automaker will close out the chapter with the introduction of two limited production special editions.
The T-spec Takumi Edition will start at just over $150,000, and the Skyline Edition will start at just over $130,000. Less than 200 units of the GT-R will be available.
The Nissan Titan, meanwhile, will end production this summer after the company announced last year that its Canton, Mississippi, plant would be modified to produce electric vehicles.
Production for Fisker’s Ocean electric SUV also came to an end after the vehicle was under regulatory investigation for faulty brakes and other issues. Fisker recently filed for bankruptcy as demand for EVs in the U.S. has decreased significantly.
RAM will introduce a final edition model for its 1500 TRX truck—the RAM 1500 TRX 6.2L Supercharged V8 Final Edition—at the end of this year, after the company ended production of the original model last year.
“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,” said Tim Kuniskis, CEO of Stellantis’ RAM brand, in a February press release.
The final edition model will feature only 4,000 vehicles globally, which are aimed at true enthusiasts.
Meanwhile, there are also discontinuations planned for after 2025, including the Chevrolet Malibu and the Volvo S60, as both companies are modifying plants to build electric vehicles.
Production will also end for the much-loved Subaru Legacy, which made its debut more than three decades ago, as the company moves to produce eight EV models by 2028.
Some luxury brands’ models will also be discontinued after the end of this year, including the Jaguar F-Type, Maserati’s Ghibli, and Alfa Romeo’s Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio models.
