10 Cars, SUV’s, Trucks, And Vans Being Discontinued In 2024

Dearly beloved. We are gathered here today to bid farewell to some of the most popular vehicles of the past 3 or 4 decades. This year marks the end of the road for some of America's most beloved machines. Soon they will disappear from showrooms, and car lots and take their rightful place in the old parking lot of the upper room.

So, let's pay tribute to the passing of 20+ vehicles heading to car heaven at the end of 2024. I must admit I was heartbroken to see the Ford Transit is on the chopping block, because it's a huge part of my business day-to-day. At the end of the year, automakers are putting Nissan, Kia, Jeep, Chrysler, Porche, Audi, and Dodge muscles cars. They are all going by-by. On the bright side, dealers are going to offer hella sales to get these babies off the lot! Well, get your tissue. This might hurt a little....

DODGE CHARGER

Production of the four-door Dodge Charger sedan ended with the rollout of the 2023 model year. It's been a good run with a variety of  V-8 models. Sadly the Charger managed to keep things interesting with a number of V-8 variants over the years, including the more than 700-hp supercharged Charger SRT Hellcat.

DODGE CHALLENGER

For years Dodge has experimented with the Challenger making imporvements here and there to the body and interior since 2008. Over the years no major changes to the style of the two-door muscle car. The brand may come back as a coupe-size in the future, but until then the after 2024 the legendary car will be discontinued and headed the big scrapeyard in the sky.

FORD TRANSIT CONNECT WAGON

This van is a workhorse with flexible options to maximize cargo. However, like many manufacturers the Transit Connect is headed to the extinction. Production ended with the 2023 model year. Transit Connect buyers will now have to convert to the full-size Transit or look at other manufactueres for thier minivan needs.

NISSAN MAXIMA

Nissan is ditching the full-size sedan line gas version of the Maxima. However, it will come back in 2026 with an entirely new design. You may see it as an eclectic model as well. new when it arrives for the 2026 model year you may see it again in an electric model. The manufacturer will still have mid-size, subcompact, and compact sedans in its fleet such as the Versa, Sentra, and Altima going into 2025.

MERCEDES E-CLASS COUPE AND CONVERTIBLE

As Mercedes ends the E-class sedan coupe and convertible cease in 2024. In its place comes the CLE-class coupe and convertible.

MERCEDES CLS COUPE

MERCEDES CLS COUPE

The German manufacturer is downsizing on the number of models it sells. This four-door sedan is a coupe is one them. Mercedes is the combining 2025  E-class, CLS-class, and GT 4-Door.

MAZDA MX-30

The Mazda MX-30 electric has an attractive interior and exterior but failed to impress buyers. It is pricy at $35K and only travels 100 miles on a full charge.

Chrysler's 300 is the only model to be discontinued. The big body sedan has with a V-8 under its hood isn't being completly illiminated, but the current generation is. Look for a new 300 in the future to drop the V-8 gas engine and return electrified.

KIA RIO

The Kia Rio subcompact and hatback are being taken off line for now. Unfortunatly the car was on of only three vehicles that started for $20k. There is no major reason why Mitsubechi is pulling the economic sedan, it is possible that they plan to bring it back as an EV.
