Yahoo Autos These are the cars being discontinued for 2024 and beyond
While we get new and updated car models every year, its inevitable that we'll need to say goodbye to some nameplates as well. This time around, it feels like we have confirmation or reports of an unusually large number of vehicles being discontinued in 2024 and the coming years.
We shouldn't be surprised. A large number of automakers are approaching their various target dates for electrification of their fleets. As such, some beloved internal combustion cars are going away, sometimes — like with the Dodge Charger and Challenger — with appropriate fanfare. Others are slinking away quietly, killed by slowing sales and changing consumer trends. Of course, the end of production doesn't necessarily mean permanent death. Some of these models could be resurrected in later years ... and probably as an EV.
With that in mind, here are the vehicles that are being discontinued in 2024 and beyond.
Audi R8
After 17 years, Audi’s R8 supercar won’t be returning for the 2024 model year. With no successor waiting in the bullpen, it’s possible something electric could take the place as Audi’s halo car. We did get a final spin in the R8 on Laguna Seca, which was pretty special.
Audi TT
Audi is discontinuing the TT after the 2023 model year. Europe got a Final Addition that didn’t make its way to the U.S. Like the R8, the TT is rumored to get an electric successor down the road.
Chevrolet Bolt EV and EUV
While the most affordable Chevy EVs will cease production after this year, GM CEO Mary Barra confirmed it will eventually be replaced with a new generation using the automaker’s Ultium battery tech.
Chevrolet Camaro
GM is ending production of the Chevy Camaro after 2024, but is sending it off in style with a Collector’s Edition. Wouldn’t it be cool, though, if Chevy brought it back as an EV?
Dodge Challenger, Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300
2023 is the last model year for this trio from Stellantis. Dodge leaned into the retirement party, building a number of “Last Call” models of the Challenger and Charger, while Chrysler’s last hurrah came in the form of the 300C.
Dodge Durango
The three-row Durango is slated to be replaced by the Stealth nameplate after 2024. The Durango name could make a comeback later, according to rumors, on a body-on frame SUV based on the Jeep Wagoneer’s platform.
Ford Edge
This is the last year for the Edge in the U.S., with the final unit to roll off the assembly line on April 26, according to union update to workers at the Ford Oakville Assembly Complex in Ontario, Canada. On sale since 2007, the Edge topped 100,000 sales in all but three full years of production.
Ford Escape
Newly refreshed for the 2023 model year, Ford’s popular Escape compact SUV is reportedly taking its leave in 2025 in order to usher in — you guessed it — an EV in its place.
Ford Transit Connect
2023 is the last year for the Ford Transit Connect, with Ford citing "efforts to reduce global manufacturing cost and complexity, alongside decreased demand for the compact van segment." It will continue life in Europe.
Genesis G70
According to a report, the Genesis G70 is being discontinued, with no successor in the works as the brand electrifies its entire lineup by 2025.
Jeep Cherokee
Yes, the long-lived Cherokee nameplate hits the trail. In fact, production already ended earlier this year. The larger Grand Cherokee sticks around, though.
