Audi’s U.S. car lineup will transform following the 2025 model year as the German luxury brand simplifies its portfolio and combines two model lines into one. As a result, the A5 will be offered only in what Audi refers to as a Sportback body style for the 2025 model year. The coupe and convertible variants were dropped.
General Motors ended production of the Chevrolet Malibu midsize sedan in November. The move will free up the Kansas plant that builds the car to assemble the next-generation Chevrolet Bolt. The Malibu joins a growing list of family sedans to be dropped in the U.S. as consumers migrate to light trucks.

The long-running Edge nameplate went out of production at Ford’s Oakville Assembly Complex in Canada in April. The Oakville plant began assembling the midsize crossover and related Lincoln Nautilus in 2007, maintaining both programs through two generations and several midcycle face-lifts.
Fisker first presented the Ocean at the Los Angeles Auto Show in 2021. The crossover was designed to be affordable, with a sub-$40,000 sticker price for the base model and offering about 250 miles of driving range. The 2023 production model roughly met those goals, although base pricing fluctuated. U.S. deliveries began in Los Angeles in June 2023. The launch model, the Ocean One, had a sticker price just under $70,000 with 360 miles of EPA-estimated range. The Ocean was beset by quality issues and Fisker’s financial struggles. It was produced by contract manufacturer Magna Steyr before Fisker suspended production in March 2024 to preserve cash. Fisker received court approval for a bankruptcy liquidation plan in October.

The Q50 was discontinued after the 2024 model year. The sedan debuted in 2013. The Q50's demise will leave Infiniti with only three crossovers — the QX50, QX55 and QX60 — and the QX80 SUV in its U.S. lineup. Infiniti plans an electric sedan that will replace the Q50. U.S. sales of the Q50 peaked at 44,007 in 2016 and fell to 6,201 in 2023.

Jaguar’s two-door sports car, which launched in 2014, went out of production after the limited-run 75 edition in 2024. The F-Type was available as either a coupe or convertible and shifted to V-8 power only for the 2022 model year onward.
Production of Jaguar’s first electric crossover, the I-Pace, is set to end at the Magna factory in Austria. The I-Pace, a rival to the Tesla Model X, received some initial high praise for its design and performance but didn’t seem to find its footing in the EV market, especially in the U.S.

JLR’s current arrangement with contract manufacturer Magna Steyr ends in December, when Magna’s factory in Austria stops production of the Jaguar E-Pace compact crossover. U.S. sales of the E-Pace, aimed at tech-savvy couples and young families, began in 2018.

Production of the utility vehicle ended early in 2024. Maserati plans to offer an electric successor to the Levante, but the timeline has been pushed back. That model will be unveiled in 2027.
The quirky Clubman departed Mini’s lineup in 2024. The wagon began as essentially a stretched two-door Cooper and turned into a four-door model while keeping its signature rear barn doors.

Production of the full-size pickup ended in August. The pickup, launched in 2003, will not be replaced. The Titan represented Nissan’s herculean effort to make a dent in the full-size pickup market dominated by the Detroit 3, but it failed to move the needle. U.S. sales peaked in 2005 at 86,945.

The 1500 Classic, which dates back to 2009, held down a spot in Ram's lineup by catering to entry-level buyers and commercial customers alongside the current-generation pickup. Ram parent Stellantis, in a labor contract it signed with the UAW in 2023, agreed to keep building the Classic in Warren, Mich., but only through 2024.
