10 Cars Being Discontinued For 2024

A bunch of new cars will launch in the US market this year. While we are excited about the debut of these vehicles, 2024 will also mark the departure of several popular models from U.S. shores. The list includes cars from many big automakers and spans across multiple segments, including compacts, sedans, SUVs, and sports cars. Stellantis is phasing out most vehicles as we move into the new year, with one vehicle going away from each brand.

There are a handful of reasons why brands are phasing out these cars. While some are going away because they have reached the end of their product life-cycle, others are being put to rest as their respective automakers rehash their model line-up with electric vehicles. In this article, we have compiled a list of the top ten cars that are being discontinued for 2024. While some of these vehicles are going away for good, a few can return as EVs.

In order to give you the most up-to-date and accurate information possible, the data used to compile this article was sourced from Fiat, Kia, Jeep, Nissan, Chrysler, Dodge, Audi, and other authoritative sources, including Fueleconomy.gov and Hemmings.

10 Jeep Renegade

Base MSRP: 28,445

Fiat 500x’s platform-mate, the Jeep Renegade, will also discontinue after the 2023 model year. With the Renegade going off the shelf, the Compass will become the brand’s entry-level offering. The Renegade was the only subcompact SUV in the U.S. market with off-road chops to match its beefy looks, especially with the Trailhawk package.

Though the turbocharged 1.3-liter engine in the Renegade lacked serious performance, the baby Jeep made up for it in other avenues. Its cabin was decently equipped, featuring an 8.4-inch touchscreen infotainment unit loaded with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The Renegade also had all the latest driver assistance tech, such as adaptive cruise control.

9 Fiat 500X

Base MSRP: $30,245

The 500X was the last gas-powered model for Fiat in the United States, and the brand has pulled it off the shelf for 2024. Fiat had already stopped the production of the 500 supermini and the 500l estate a while back. Based on the same platform as the Jeep Renegade, 500X’s SUV-ish design made it compete against the segment of sub-compact SUVs, which includes the Mazda CX-30, Kia Seltos, and Hyundai Kona.

Though the 500X lacks space compared to its rivals, it scores points in the looks department thanks to its retro design. The quirky aesthetics continue inside the cabin, where you’ll find a traditional gauge cluster and a 7-inch touchscreen central screen loaded with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Fiat will rejuvenate its line-up with the 500e soon. It is the electric supermini replacement for the gas-powered 500 and features a 118-horsepower electric motor and a 162-mile driving range.

8 Dodge Challenger

Base MSRP: $32,800

Besides the Charger, the Challenger coupe is also going under the chopping block for 2024. Like the high-performance sedan, Dodge also sent off the Challenger with a series of last-call models. Aside from having special edition names from the muscle car’s past, these limited-run models also came with popular colors that Dodge used to offer on older Challenger models.

Dodge went a step ahead and introduced the Challenger SRT Demon 170 to send off this iconic muscle car. The 6.2-liter Hellcat V8 powers it but cranks out 1,025 horsepower when running on E85 gasoline. On regular pump gas, the Demon 170 produces 900 horsepower.

7 Dodge Charger

Base MSRP: $35,325

Dodge shocked the muscle car community when it announced it’d discontinue the Charger muscle car after the 2023 model year. The V-8-powered sedan bows out as Dodge prepares for an electrified future. But the brand introduced a bunch of really cool last-call models to send off this special performance car, such as the Swinger and Super Bee editions.

But Dodge isn’t giving up on the Charger nameplate just yet. The brand has announced that the muscle car will return as a two-door, high-performance EV at the end of this year. The Charger Daytona SRT Banshee concept previews Dodge’s upcoming all-electric muscle car.

6 Chrysler 300

Base MSRP: $36,145

Another mid-sized sedan that bites the dust for 2024 is the Chrysler 300. As a send-off, it gets a hot 300C variant that is available with the same 485-horsepower V8 found under the Challenger and Charger’s hood. With the 300 going off the shelf, the Pacifica minivan will be the only model remaining in Chrysler’s line-up beyond 2024.

Chrysler announced in 2022 that the production for the 300 sedans would come to an end when it will close its Brampton, Ontario plant for retooling for an electric platform. Chrysler plans to launch its first all-electric vehicle by 2025 and aims to switch to an EV-only brand by 2028. Chrysler has no confirmation on whether we’ll see an EV version of the 300 sedan.

5 Kia Stinger

Base MSRP: $36,690

Kia has wrapped up production of the Stinger. The unique sports sedan has been on sale since 2018, and 2023 will be its last model year. It had two engines: a turbo-four and a twin-turbo V6. Kia offered the Stinger as standard with rear-wheel drive, but all-wheel drive was available. An eight-speed automatic was standard across the range. For 2023, the Stinger was available in two trims: GT-Line and GT2.

Kia sent off the Stinger with a special Tribute Edition. This limited-run model was based on the twin-turbo V6 trims, with Kia producing only 1000 units. Mechanical, the Stinger Tribute edition remains identical to the regular models. But it came with a bunch of visual tweaks. Besides blacked-out trim pieces, two new exterior paint options were available: Ascot Green and Moonscape matte gray. On the inside, the Tribute edition came with minor updates over the standard Stinger models.

4 Jeep Cherokee

Base MSRP: $37,695

Besides the Renegade, Jeep is also pulling the plug on the Cherokee SUV for 2024. This move ends the iconic nameplate after a successful production run of nearly 50 years. The compact crossover benefits from being a Jeep by having off-road capability over its competitors, such as the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV-4, and Kia Sportage.

Like most models on this list, the Cherokee departs the U.S. market due to low sales. But, likely, Jeep will not give up on this nameplate altogether. Stellantis is planning to upgrade its brands with electric models. So, we may see the Cherokee returning to the US as an EV.

3 Nissan Maxima

Base MSRP: $38,340

Nissan will cease production of the Maxima going into the 2024 model year. The Japanese brand’s flagship sedan has been on sale in the United States since 1981. After nearly four decades and eight generations, the gas-powered Maxima will make way for a possible all-electric replacement.

Nissan hasn’t confirmed anything about Maxima’s future. But low sales are the main reason the brand has decided to pull the plug on this long-standing nameplate. With the Nissan Maxima gone, the Toyota Crown and the Volkswagen Arteon will remain the only large executive sedans on sale in the States.

2 Audi TT

Base MSRP: $51,200

Stellantis isn’t the only brand killing its high-performance models for 2024. Audi has also ended the production of its little sports car, the TT. After debuting in the U.S. market in 2000, the TT bids farewell, with its third generation being the last gas-powered model. Audi hasn’t made an announcement about whether there will be an electric version of the TT or not.

The first-generation Audi TT has a curvaceous exterior design, which morphed into a wave-like shape for the second-generation model and was later transformed into a much sharper design for the final iteration. Through the years, the TT has had many engine options, with the 394-horsepower 2.5-liter five-cylinder turbo-four available in the TT RS being the hottest one in its line-up.

1 Audi R8

Base MSRP: $158,600

Besides the TT, Audi has also discontinued its flagship sports car, the R8, for 2024. The mid-engined sports car first arrived in the US for the 2008 model year. The first-generation models of the R8 were available with two engine options: a V8 and a V10. The second-gen models dropped the eight-cylinder motor, sticking to the V10 only.

The Second-gen Audi R8 had the same chassis, engine, and transmission as the Lamborghini Huracan. With the R8 now gone, Audi has no gas-powered high-performance sports car in its line-up. The brand hasn’t announced a possible replacement for the R8. But if it ever happened, the vehicle will likely have an electric propulsion system.
