What Cars Are Being Discontinued In 2025? The Complete List Of Canceled Models
Wondering which cars are driving off into the sunset? These are all the models that won’t be making it to next year. As automakers look to revamp their lineups and reshape their brand image, 18 car models have been announced for cancellation in 2025. Sadly, the most affordable new car in America is on the list. Whether it’s forever or merely an extended pause, here’s your complete list of discontinued cars for the 2025 model year.
Alfa Romeo Quadrifoglio (Giulia and Stelvio)
Alfa Romeo inventory is the highest in the U.S. auto market as sales slow to a crawl. With the drop in demand, parent company Stellantis decided to axe the Quadrifoglio performance variants for both the Giulia sedan and Stelvio crossover.
Audi A4
Audi is canceling the A4 sedan after the 2025 model year. But there’s a catch: Audi is renaming it the A5, and making big changes to the sedan. We expect the last true A4s to arrive on dealer lots in mid-2025.
Cadillac XT4
In November 2024, General Motors announced that production of the XT4 crossover will end in January 2025. The Kansas plant where the XT4 has been made will be retooled for production of the new and greatly improved Chevrolet Bolt EV.
Chevrolet Camaro
We suspect that the Camaro will be back, but it’s gone for now. The last Camaros can still be found on dealer lots. Will the Camaro come back as an EV? It’s possible, but not confirmed.
Chevrolet Malibu
The last Chevrolet sedan will roll off the final assembly line in November of 2024. Once a top-seller for Chevy, sedans are falling out of favor, taking this legend to the grave.
Fisker Ocean
Following a downfall that culminated in a bankruptcy filing, Fisker is on track to cease operations. It’s a shame since the Ocean is a remarkable vehicle, at least until you turn it on and face a hectic suite of software issues.
Ford Edge
As Ford makes way for EVs at the Oakville Assembly Plant in Ontario, the Edge has become a casualty. It’s possible that the Edge could return, but it will be absent in 2025. The ‘new’ Ford Edge is only sold in China for now.
Ford Escape
The Escape has been a popular compact SUV since 2000, but it’s leaving the lineup in 2025.
Infiniti Q50
Nearly a decade after it arrived, the Q50 is meeting the fate of many sedans these days: cancellation.
Jaguar F-Type
Jaguar is saying goodbye to its iconic sports car, the F-Type. The F-Type has been a staple of Jaguar’s lineup for over a decade, but 2025 marks the end of its production.
Maserati Ghibli
The Maserati Ghibli, a mid-size luxury sedan known for its Italian styling and sporty performance, will be discontinued in 2025. Maserati is streamlining its lineup as it pivots toward electrification and focuses on newer models like the Grecale and the upcoming electric GranTurismo.
Mitsubishi Mirage
The average price paid for a new car in 2024 is $48,401. Crazy, right? That’s why we’re mourning the discontinuation of one the cheapest new cars in America, the Mitsubishi Mirage. Retailing from $18,015, the compact Mirage was a bare-bones budget option.
Mini Clubman
Mini is upsizing its lineup. With the arrival of the largest Mini ever, the Countryman, comes the exit of the petite Clubman.
Nissan GT-R
Long a classic in the car scene, the GT-R is on its way out. One can’t help but wonder if 2024 GT-Rs will be worth a fortune a few decades from now, similar to the high prices paid for older R34 Skyline models.
Nissan Titan
The Nissan Titan is one of the few models that seems to constantly have a 0% APR deal. You know what that means? It’s not selling. Nissan sold fewer than 20,000 Titans in 2023.
Nissan Versa
With the death of the Nissan Versa, the last new car under $20,000 is headed for the graveyard. This is a major hit for fans of ultra-budget vehicles around this very affordable price point. Following the 2025 model year, Nissan is discontinuing the Versa. The Sentra will stick around for now, and now holds the title of the most affordable new car in the United States.
Ram 1500 Classic
Ram parent company Stellantis is in trouble with falling sales, below-average reliability, and underwhelming new models. As the multinational behemoth searches for solutions, one surprising move was the recent cancellation of the Ram 1500 Classic, which has been built in Michigan. A Ram representative told The Drive that dealer lots will likely be stocked with the last of the Ram 1500 Classics through much of 2025.
Subaru Legacy
What was once America’s favorite all-wheel drive sedan will end its run in 2025. Subaru Legacy sales have been slipping for years as crossovers like the Crosstrek dominate. With the Legacy’s departure, Subaru’s average selling prices will climb quite a bit, too.
Volvo S60
The S60 debuted in the US in 2000, but it’s at the end of the road in 2025. Volvo says it’s focusing on electrification, and is shifting focus to electric SUVs.
Models Discontinued For 2026
- Nissan Altima
- Nissan Versa
- Porsche 718 Boxster
- Porsche 718 Cayman
- Porsche Macan (gas-powered)
The Honda Prologue Is Outselling The EV Competition, Despite Its Weakness
Just months after hitting the market, Honda, one of the last major automakers to go electric in the American market, is now out-selling its competitors. To say that the 2024 Honda Prologue has been a success would be an understatement. Is Honda’s first EV in America worth the hype? Here’s how the Honda Prologue compares to electric offerings from Hyundai, Kia, Toyota, Tesla, and other new arrivals.
Honda Is An EV Sales Leader Right Now
Looking at the EV sales totals for the past 45 days (courtesy of CarEdge Pro), the Honda Prologue stands out at the top of the pack. This success is despite its recency, having been launched earlier this year. It’s also not cheap: the average selling price for a new Honda Prologue is $51,524, according to data from CarEdge Pro.
Of course, Tesla sells direct-to-consumer, and therefore we don’t have their data. Nor do we have numbers from Rivian, Lucid, or the now defunct Fisker. What we do have are fascinating insights that reveal who’s who in the U.S. electric vehicle market in 2024. at least among legacy automakers. Here are the top 10 EVs in America today, as measured by their 45-day sales total as of September 10, 2024. We’ve also included the current market day supply for each.
| 45-Day Sales Total | Market Day Supply | |
|---|---|---|
| Honda Prologue | 7,046 | 84 |
| Ford Mustang Mach-E | 6,311 | 128 |
| Hyundai IONIQ 5 | 5,777 | 88 |
| Chevrolet Equinox EV | 4,655 | 131 |
| Chevrolet Blazer EV | 3,761 | 173 |
| Cadillac Lyriq | 3,722 | 111 |
| Ford F-150 Lightning | 3,174 | 67 |
| BMW i4 | 3,136 | 91 |
| Volkswagen ID.4 | 3,014 | 78 |
| Kia EV9 | 2,747 | 67 |
The Prologue Is A Chevy In Disguise
Did you know that Honda doesn’t manufacture the Prologue? As odd as it may sound, this is probably a good thing. In 2022, General Motors and Honda entered into a partnership that would help Honda leap into the EV space before it finished engineering its own electric powertrain. One year later, Honda backed out, but not before using GM’s Ultium electric powertrain for the Honda Prologue EV and Acura ZDX EV.
GM’s Ultium platform is good, but it’s not great. Ultium batteries power the Chevrolet Blazer EV, Equinox EV, the popular Cadillac Lyriq, and other models. The general consensus among owners and auto reviewers is that range, handling, and overall value are great. But for over $50,000, buyers should expect the latest and greatest technology. That’s not always the case with the Prologue.
Charging speeds are not miserable, they just aren’t on par with the competition from Hyundai, Kia, and Tesla. For example, a 20-minute charging session in a Hyundai IONIQ 5 is likely to take 30 to 40 minutes in the new Prologue. Performance aside, the Prologue is arguably the most normal-looking EV on sale today. It simply blends in with the crowd, as most Honda models do.
But the specs matter in the crowd of electric crossovers. Here’s how the 2024 Prologue compares to the top competition when it comes to range, charging speed, and price.
| Price (Base MSRP) | Range (Miles) | Max Charging Speed | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Honda Prologue | $48,795 - $59,295 | 296 | 150 kW |
| Hyundai IONIQ 5 | $43,195 - $54,895 | 303 | 230 kW |
| Kia EV6 | $43,975 - $62,975 | 310 | 230 kW |
| Toyota bZ4X | $44,465 - $48,575 | 252 | 150 kW |
| Nissan Ariya | $40,980 - $55,580 | 304 | 130 kW |
| Tesla Model Y | $46,380 - $52,870 | 320 | 210 kW |
| Subaru Solterra | $46,340 - $53,340 | 228 | 100 kW |
The Best Honda Prologue Offers This Month
Despite sales success, Honda continues to aggressively discount the Prologue. According to Motor Intelligence, the average manufacturer incentive for the Prologue was $7,035 in July 2024. On top of the discounts, the Prologue qualifies for the $7,500 federal EV tax credit. GM manufactures the Prologue alongside the Blazer EV in Mexico.
This fall, the sales continue. Honda is advertising 0.9% APR for 60 months, or 2.9% APR for 72 months. Current Honda owners also get $1,000 in Honda Loyalty Cash. Leasing the Prologue is a sweet deal, too. Lease the Prologue AWD EX from $289/month for 36 months with just $2,999 due at signing. See the best new car deals this month.
The Honda Prologue Is A Great EV With Few Compromises
The Prologue is not going to last forever, at least according to Honda’s own plan for its next-gen EV platform. In July 2024, Honda and Sony announced that they will share the EV architecture from the upcoming “Honda 0” EV series, which is expected to arrive in 2026.
Should you buy the Honda Prologue as your first EV? It’s certainly worth the test drive. If an EV that blends in with the other crossovers on the road appeals to you, the Prologue is right up your alley. Just don’t forget that you have more options to choose from than ever before.

The 10 Cars, Trucks, and SUVs with the Best Resale Value in 2024
Did you know that depreciation makes up the biggest portion of the total cost of car ownership? When it comes to buying a new car, it’s important to consider how well it holds its value over time. Depreciation is the difference between the original sales price, and what the vehicle will be worth in the future. Some vehicles depreciate faster than others.
In this 2024 update, Toyota continues to dominate the list of cars with the best resale value, with multiple models making an appearance. Honda follows closely, proving once again that both brands know how to build cars that hold their value. Let’s take a look at the top contenders in terms of resale value in the first five years of ownership.
Jeep Wrangler
5-Year Residual Value: 75%
The Jeep Wrangler has long been known for its ability to retain value. After five years, it’s expected to depreciate just 34%, leaving you with a resale value of around $38,610 if you buy at today’s average selling price of $58,209. For off-road adventurers, the Wrangler’s value retention makes it a solid investment. See our full depreciation breakdown.

Toyota 4Runner
5-Year Residual Value: 74%
After a what feels like a lifetime, the 4Runner is getting a big refresh for 2025. We see no reason to worry about this legend’s reliability with the refresh, nor any damage to it’s phenomenal resale value.
Under normal ownership conditions, the Toyota 4Runner will depreciate just 39% after five years under normal use. With today’s average selling prices, this results in a resale value of about $31,593. If you’re looking for an SUV that holds its value while offering reliable performance, the 2025 4Runner should be on your short list. See our full depreciation breakdown.

Toyota Land Cruiser
5-Year Residual Value: 74%
The Land Cruiser is back after a short hiatus. As expensive cars sadly become the norm, it makes sense that Toyota would resurrect their luxury SUV with impressive off-road prowess. It’s quite expensive, especially for a Toyota. Today’s average selling price is a hair north of $73,000. After five years, the Land Cruiser retains 74% of its value, with an estimated resale price of $44,791. The time-tested Land Cruiser is a prime choice for anyone looking for a high-end SUV that keeps its value. See our full depreciation breakdown.

5 SUVs with the Worst Depreciation: Know What to Expect
When buying an SUV, one thing you’ll want to keep in mind is depreciation. Some SUVs lose value faster than others, which can lead to a lower resale value when you’re ready to trade in or sell. With the consumer in mind, we’re highlighting five family-sized SUVs with the worst depreciation. Although depreciation may not be a dealbreaker, knowing what to expect before making your purchase is always smart. All data is based on the latest 2024 depreciation calculations from CarEdge.

Nissan Armada: 52% Value Loss Over 5 Years
5-Year Residual Value: 48%
The Nissan Armada is a full-size SUV with plenty of space and power, but its value drops significantly after just five years. With a 52% depreciation rate, the Armada will have a resale value of around $32,604 after half a decade. For buyers, this could be something to consider, especially if you plan to resell or trade-in the vehicle later.
These depreciation numbers assume the vehicle is in good condition and has been driven an average of 12,000 miles per year. The average selling price for a new Armada is around $68,438.
See our full depreciation analysis for the Nissan Armada and other models.
GMC Yukon XL: 52% Value Loss Over 5 Years
5-Year Residual Value: 48%
The GMC Yukon XL is known for its room for the family, but it also has one of the highest SUV depreciation rates. After five years, the Yukon XL will lose around 52% of its value, with a resale price of approximately $42,083. This assumes the average selling price of $87,399, so the depreciation adds up to tens of thousands of dollars rather quickly.

Buick Enclave: 51% Value Loss Over 5 Years
5-Year Residual Value: 49%
The Buick Enclave combines comfort and attainable luxury in a mid-size SUV package, but it comes with a significant depreciation cost. Today, the average selling price of a new Buick Enclave is $54,186. After five years, the Enclave will depreciate by about 51%, leaving it with a resale value of just $26,416. This might make you think twice, especially if selling your Enclave is a possibility in the next five years.
See our full depreciation analysis for the Buick Enclave and other models.
Nissan Pathfinder: 49% Value Loss Over 5 Years
5-Year Residual Value: 51%
The Nissan Pathfinder is a legendary mid-size SUV, but it too suffers from a significant depreciation rate. After five years, expect a 49% loss in value, leaving you with a resale price of $23,921. The Pathfinder’s strengths remain, but the depreciation hit is worth keeping in mind.
See our full depreciation analysis for the Nissan Pathfinder and other models.
Ford Expedition: 49% Value Loss Over 5 Years
5-Year Residual Value: 51%
The Ford Expedition is one of the top three-row SUVs on sale, but it doesn’t hold onto its value as well as some might hope. After five years, the Expedition loses around 49% of its original value. While it’s packed with features, room for eight, and carries a solid reputation, the depreciation hit will cost buyers over $30,000 in resale value after just five years.
See our full depreciation analysis for the Ford Expedition and other models.
Conclusion
When shopping for an SUV, depreciation is a key factor that can greatly affect your long-term cost of ownership. The SUVs listed above have some of the worst depreciation rates in the market, meaning they lose significant value over time. If there’s even a small possibility that you could be selling in the next five years, depreciation should be a top factor in your decision making.

5 Trucks with the Worst Depreciation… Buyers Beware!
Buying a truck is a costly endeavor, but not all trucks hold onto their value the same way. Some depreciate faster than others, leaving truck owners with less resale value down the road. In this deep dive, we’ll take a look at five trucks that don’t fare well when it comes to depreciation, so you know what to watch out for.
CarEdge’s depreciation rankings were updated with the latest data in 2024, giving you insights on which models are most likely to drop in value in 2025 and beyond. When we talk about “5-year residual values,” we’re referring to the percentage of a vehicle’s original value that it retains after five years. The higher the percentage, the better it holds its value—but for these trucks, the numbers aren’t looking too good.
Ford F-150: 49% 5-Year Residual Value
The Ford F-150 might be a top-selling truck, but when it comes to value retention, it’s the worst. After five years, the F-150 will have lost around 51% of its original value, leaving you with a resale price of about $30,245. While it does well in the first few years, it starts to lag behind rivals like the Chevy Silverado as time goes on.
Should you avoid this truck? Not necessarily, but be aware of how fast it loses value. If you’re deciding between the F-150 and another truck, it might be worth considering factors other than just resale value, like features, towing capacity, or reliability. For instance, both the Chevy Silverado 1500 and Ram 1500 pickups maintain their value better than the F-150.
The chart above shows the expected depreciation for the next 10 years. These results are for vehicles in good condition, averaging 12,000 miles per year. It also assumes a selling price of $61,927 when new. This is the average selling price of a new F-150 today.” See our full depreciation analysis for the Ford F-150.

GMC Sierra 2500 HD: 55% 5-Year Residual Value
The GMC Sierra 2500 HD doesn’t depreciate quite as quickly as the F-150, but it still loses around 45% of its value over five years. If you buy one new at the current average selling price of $87,897, expect it to be worth around $48,247 after five years.
Heavy-duty trucks like the Sierra 2500 often fare better in the long run, thanks to their durability and strong market demand. But even with that in mind, a nearly 50% drop in value is something to keep in mind if you’re looking at this model.
The chart above shows the expected depreciation for the next 10 years. These results are for vehicles in good condition, averaging 12,000 miles per year. It also assumes a selling price of $87,897 when new. See our full depreciation analysis for the Sierra 2500.

Ford F-250 Super Duty: 55% 5-Year Residual Value
Similar to the Sierra 2500, the Ford F-250 Super Duty retains just over half its value after five years. Starting at an average selling price of $72,489, it’s likely to be worth about $39,833 after that period. That’s a depreciation of $32,656, which isn’t insignificant for a heavy-duty truck.
If you’re set on a Ford Super Duty for its power and towing capacity, this might be acceptable to you. Just remember, the resale value won’t be the strongest selling point. See our full depreciation analysis for the F-250 Super Duty.

Nissan Titan: 58% 5-Year Residual Value
The Nissan Titan depreciates a bit more slowly than others on this list, but it’s still going to lose about 52% of its value in five years. From a starting price of $58,711, you’ll be looking at a resale value of around $28,463 after half a decade.
Nissan’s full-size truck may not be as popular as the F-150 or Silverado, but if you’re a fan of what it offers, be prepared for its resale value to dip more than average.

One of the first steps in evaluating a used car is to obtain a vehicle history report from a service like Carfax. Don’t accept a report from an issuer you’ve never heard of, or very little is known about. This report provides crucial details about the car’s past, including any reported accidents, title issues, service records, and whether it has been labeled a lemon by previous owners. A clean history report is a good sign, but be wary of any red flags such as frequent ownership changes or multiple repairs early in the car’s life.
2. Beware of “Too Good to Be True” Deals
If a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is. Extremely low prices compared to similar models on the market could be a sign that the seller is trying to offload a lemon. Always research the fair market value of the car you’re interested in and be cautious if the price is significantly lower without a reasonable explanation. It can’t hurt to ask the salesperson why the car is offered at such a good price. CarEdge Pro is the perfect research tool for every car buyer, and includes detailed, local car price data.
3. Inspect the Exterior and Interior Thoroughly
A careful inspection of the car’s exterior and interior can reveal signs of previous damage or poor maintenance, in addition to a possible Lemon Law car. Look for uneven paint jobs, mismatched body panels, or rust, which could indicate previous accidents or improper repairs. Inside, check for wear and tear that doesn’t match the car’s age or mileage, such as overly worn seats, broken switches, or a musty smell, which could point to water damage.
Even if a car has been repaired, the quality of those repairs matters. Check for signs of shoddy workmanship, such as misaligned body panels, uneven gaps around doors or hoods, and poorly fitting trim pieces.
4. Have a Trusted Mechanic Inspect the Car
Even if the car seems perfect on the surface, it’s wise to have a trusted mechanic conduct a pre-purchase inspection. A mechanic can check the car’s engine, transmission, suspension, and other critical components for issues that might not be obvious during a regular inspection or test drive. This professional evaluation can save you from unexpected repairs and costs down the road.
If the seller gives any pushback at all, this is a major red flag. It’s reasonable for them to ask questions considering that you’d be taking their car to a shop. Offer for them to come along to assuage any concerns. Regardless, our CarEdge experts don’t budge on this: no pre-purchase inspection on a used car? No deal.

5. Test Drive the Vehicle
A thorough test drive is crucial for uncovering hidden issues. Pay attention to how the car handles, brakes, and accelerates. Listen for any unusual noises, such as clunking, grinding, or whining, which could signal mechanical problems. Also, test all of the vehicle’s features, including the air conditioning, infotainment system, and lights, to ensure everything is in working order.
If you’re not too familiar with how a car should drive, invite someone who is along for the ride. This could be covered under the pre-purchase inspection we just covered above.
6. Review Warranty and Lemon Law protections
If you’re buying a used car, check if any of the manufacturer’s warranty is still in effect. This can offer some protection if you end up with a lemon. Additionally, familiarize yourself with your state’s lemon laws, which provide legal recourse if you purchase a defective vehicle. Knowing your rights can help you make a confident purchase and protect yourself if something goes wrong. Consider extended warranty coverage for peace of mind.

In Conclusion: Lemon Law Cars Drain the Bank
Spotting a lemon law car before you buy can save you from a world of hassle and expense. By following these critical steps, you can minimize the risk of ending up with a problematic and wallet-draining vehicle. Remember, it’s better to invest a little extra time in the buying process than to deal with the consequences of purchasing a lemon.
The 5 Best Off-Road Vehicles For 2025
When it comes to hitting the off-road trails, you need a vehicle that’s up to the task. From trucks to SUVs, these off-road vehicles spanning from budget to luxury are ready to tackle your adventure. Let’s dive into the top five off-road vehicles of 2025, and what makes them so great.
1. Toyota Land Cruiser (Best Overall Off-Road Vehicle)
After a brief hiatus, the iconic Toyota Land Cruiser is back. Starting at an MSRP of $57,400, the 2025 Land Cruiser has been redesigned with off-road enthusiasts in mind. What really matters here is the four-wheel-drive system with low-range gearing and locking differentials, giving you the confidence to take on the toughest trails.
Powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder hybrid engine, the 2025 Land Cruiser churns out 326 horsepower. The Land Cruiser seats five comfortably, and if you’re willing to splurge on the mid-trim starting at $63,400, you’ll enjoy wider off-road tires, ventilated seats, an upgraded sound system, and more. With advanced driver-assistance features and a reputation for reliability, the Land Cruiser is all-around great for off-road adventures.

2. Ford Bronco (Best Off-Road Daily Driver)
After making a return in 2021, the Ford Bronco quickly became a favorite. For those who want a vehicle that can tackle both the daily commute and off-road trails, the Bronco is your best bet. Priced between $41,525 and $71,580, the Bronco comes in both two- and four-door versions, with the added bonus of an optional manual transmission.
For under $50,000, you can get a Bronco with Ford’s G.O.A.T. (Goes Over Any Type of Terrain) drive modes, 32-inch tires, a powder-coated steel bumper, additional bash plates, and a suite of factory options. The Bronco’s independent front suspension gives it an edge over much of the competition, providing smoother handling on rough terrain.
With options like 35-inch mud-terrain tires, beadlock-capable wheels, and electronic locking differentials, the Bronco offers even more customization than the Jeep Wrangler, making it an ideal daily driver with serious off-road capability.

3. Jeep Wrangler (Best Budget Off-Road)
No list of off-road vehicles is complete without the Jeep Wrangler. Starting at just $33,890, the Wrangler offers a lot of bang for your buck. But make no mistake – you can spec the Wrangler to $100,000 if that’s what you’re into. Thankfully, the core features that characterize the Wrangler experience are available on more affordable configurations. Its part-time four-wheel-drive system is a classic feature that off-roaders love.
With so many trims spanning tens of thousands of dollars in options, where does the most value lie? The Wrangler Willys is a great middle-ground option, starting at $41,392. This trim comes packed with off-road goodies like 33-inch tires, rear locking differential, Rubicon shocks, and rock rails. Plus, the Wrangler now features an onboard navigation system with maps for over 2,000 trails, and the ability to download even more.

4. Land Rover Defender (Best Luxury Off-Road)
If you’re looking for luxury with your off-roading, the Land Rover Defender is the way to go. With an MSRP starting around $60,000 but quickly climbing north of $120,000, the Defender blends rugged capability with high-end comfort. Every Defender comes standard with four-wheel drive and locking differentials, ensuring you can handle whatever the trail throws your way.
The 2025 Defender comes standard with a 296-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder engine (automatic, of course). For those wanting even more power, a 395-horsepower hybrid powertrain is available.

5. Rivian R1T (Best Off-Road Electric Truck)
Electric vehicles are computers on wheels, and that means they’re easily fine-tuned for the toughest of driving conditions. When it comes to zero emission off-roading, the Rivian R1T is leading the way. Priced from $71,700 with delivery included, the R1T already has a large following of diehard fans. All-wheel drive comes standard, and if you opt for the quad-motor variant, you’ll get unparalleled capability both on the road and off it.
The R1T offers an EPA-rated range of 258 to 420 miles, depending on the configuration, making it a solid choice for long-distance adventures. For those who like to wander off the beaten path, the long-range battery is worth the money for peace of mind. The R1T is also packed with innovative features, including the famous gear tunnel pictured above, vehicle-to-load chargers, and even an air compressor in the truck’s bed. The Rivian R1T proves that going electric doesn’t mean sacrificing off-road capability.
