The automotive world is changing rapidly, and some iconic models are getting left behind. Here's the full list of cars that will not be coming back in 2024
With the automotive landscape evolving quickly and the shift towards electric vehicles accelerating every day, many popular models (and a few less popular ones) are being phased out of existence this year; some are simply reaching the end of their life cycle, and others are being replaced with something new. Here is a comprehensive list of cars being discontinued in 2023:
奥迪给两人its most iconic sports cars a limited-edition send-off in 2023, with both the奥迪R8(Coupe and Spyder) and theAudi TT(Coupe and Roadster) beingput out to pasturein their second and third generations, respectively. The R8 GTmarks the end of the linefor the R8, and the RS Heritage Edition version celebrates the TT's 25-year run.
Sadly, neither is being renewed for another season, with Audi committed to the electrification of its performance portfolio from here on out.
With a brief life cycle plagued by a series of recalls, theChevrolet Bolt EVhatchback has nowofficially been axedfor 2024 along with its largerBolt EUVsibling as GM shifts its outlook toward new-generation EVs. With the new Equinox EV coming at a $30k base price, GM has a slew of new Ultium-based models that will carry the torch the Bolt EV and EUV lit. The Bolt might even return at a later datewith Ultium underpinnings, but for now, it's goodbye.
Chrys之一ler's oldest models, the300is being consigned to automotive history at the end of 2023, with a limited-edition, V8-powered 300C model as a send-off. The second-generation 300 has been around since 2011 and has become severely dated. Chrysler will now pivot to an EV-focused future.
道奇球迷的坏消息:Challengeris set to be axed at the end of 2023, with a limited-edition "Last Call" production run that gives enthusiasts one final chance to snap up a new Challenger. The same situation applies to theCharger, which will also have variousLast Call modelsavailable until the end of the year. Thereafter, the Hemi V8-powered Dodge muscle car will be dead as we know it. All variants, including the Hellcats, will thus be removed at the end of 2023.
Ferrari's entry-level convertible, thePortofino M, is set to be replaced by thenewly-introduced Roma Spider, with a more powerful engine and a cloth roof instead of a hard top.
After initial rumors of a possible continued production run in 2024, it looks like theFord Edgeis, in fact, leaving the US market in 2023 as Ford continues its shift towards electric vehicles going forward. With overlap from the Ford Escape, the Edge and Edge ST's demise may be a little less noticeable.
Whether another model will replace it with the same name, orperhaps the Liberty name, the current Jeep Cherokee is officially done for, with the last model leaving the line at Jeep's Belvidere plant in late February and the plant having been subsequently shuttered. After 49 years,the Cherokee is gone. However, Jeep officials say that the segment is important, so a new model may arrive.
Kia's first high-performance model, launched in 2018, is now being discontinued at the end of its first generation. TheKia Stingerhelped reshape the brand's image, but its time in the sun is over. The 3.3-liter V6Tribute Editiongives prospective buyers one last chance to snap up aStingerbefore it's out of production, handing the metaphoricalreins to the Kia EV6 GT.
We knew this was coming, as the Mazda CX-90 represents a new era of US-specific three-row crossovers, but theMazda CX-9has now been officially laid to rest as of the end of 2023. The crossover that arrived in 2016 and went toe-to-toe with the Kia Telluride, Honda Pilot, and more showed that family crossovers can still be fun to drive. But the CX-90 is newer and better in just about every way.
TheMX-30is another Mazda discontinued, but one we won't miss. With only 100 miles of electric range and a price tag far exceeding comparable EVs, sales were dismal. Along with the MX-30's discontinuation, Mazda has also confirmed we willno longer receive the rotary-poweredPHEV variant.
TheMcLaren 720Shas officially been killed off, with all 2023 cars having rolled off the production line at the end of last year; the recently-introduced 750S is set to take its place in the lineup. The750S is essentially a facelift, but with substantial revisions, it warranted a new model designation. The720S Spiderhas also been discontinued.
The Mercedes lineup is being heavily slimmed down in 2023, with both theC-ClassandE-Classfamilies saying goodbye to their Coupe and Cabriolet models; theCLSnameplatewill be discontinued. However, Mercedes is rumored to launch new models that will cover these, with the CLE replacing the various coupes and cabriolets as an in-betweener model.
Nissan's pivot towards SUVs electric vehicles does not involve theMaxima, which had the double disadvantage of being a sedan and an ICE car; after fading out of consumers' preference over the past few years, it is now being discontinued, bringing its 41 years of presence in theUS market to an end.
