Every car discontinued in Australia in 2024

An unprecedented number of new-car brands are destined for Australia over the next 12 months, which are set to make the local market one of the busiest in the world.

But as new manufacturers – and new models – arrive, it's natural for others to depart.

Here is a list of every car cut from Australia in 2024, either in the form of its production run ending this year – or its maker confirming the vehicle will soon reach the end of the road.

Is there a car we've missed? And which cars will you be sad to see go? Let us know in the comments.

The Audi A4 badge debuted in Australia in 1995 as the brand's renamed rival for the BMW 3 Series, but it will soon meet its end.

Not that Audi is vacating the mid-size car class, however.

The A4 and A5 will merge for the next-generation range, feeding in the A4 sedan, A4 Avant wagon, A5 Sportback, A5 coupe and A5 Cabriolet, and spitting out an all-new A5 Sedan – which, despite its name, has a Sportback-like hatchback tailgate – and A5 Avant wagon.

Also reaching the end of the road are the S4 and RS4 high-performance derivatives, though a new S5 has already been unveiled – and is due in Australia in the first half of 2025, alongside the A5 – and a new RS5 is coming.

If the A4 is to return, it will be an electric vehicle, under Audi's new naming structure.

Since the start of 1998 – when detailed records still accessible to media begin – close to 56,500 Audi A4 sedans and wagons have been sold in Australia, plus an estimated 1300 A4 convertibles in the early 2000s, before the open-top became the A5.

Orders for new Citroen vehicles in Australia closed on 1 November 2024 after 101 years – the longest continuously-running car brand in the country.

History books will show the brand exited showrooms with four models – the C3 city hatch, C4 small SUV, C5 Aircross mid-size SUV, and C5 X high-riding hatchback/wagon – which have recorded 144 sales over 11 months in 2024.

Over the past 26 years, Citroen has reported 36,201 new vehicles as sold. Toyota has delivered more new RAV4 SUVs in the past seven months alone.

Its best year on record was 2007, when 3803 vehicles were reported as sold – with the C4, then a hatchback, accounting for two in five of those.

Ford Australia continued its cull of cars that aren't utes, vans, heavy-duty SUVs, or models with a Mustang badge in 2024 when it discontinued the Puma.

The Romanian-built city SUV won the Drive Car of the Year Best Light SUV award three years in a row – 2023, 2022 and 2021 – but it has been one of the slowest sellers in its category since launch in late 2020.

Ford has reported 9089 Puma SUVs as sold since its introduction – compared to about 60,000 Mazda CX-3s over the same period.

When the petrol Puma's discontinuation was announced in February 2024, the US car giant said the electric Puma Gen-E was still planned for local showrooms, but plans to sell the battery-powered version were later scrapped.

The relaunch of the Jaguar brand – with a range of boldly-styled electric cars sold at higher prices, aimed at Bentley and Porsche rather than BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi – is underway.

As part of the plan, Jaguar's current line-up will be axed, and five of the six models the company sells – the E-Pace small SUV, I-Pace mid-size electric SUV, XE and XF sedans, and F-Type sports car – were shelved in 2024.

All five are still listed on the Jaguar Australia website, but global production has ended, and the only cars available are those left in dealer stock.

The F-Pace – the brand's top seller – has exited production in the UK, but is set to continue to be built for other markets in limited numbers until early 2026.

It is yet to be confirmed how long it will last in Australia, but the SUV is still available to configure on the company's local website.

Over their lives, Jaguar Australia has sold 5811 XFs (since 2008), 1162 F-Types (since 2013), 4332 XEs (since 2015), 5238 F-Paces (since 2016), 3710 E-Paces (since 2018) and just 377 I-Paces (since 2018).

The Kia Cerato name is set to disappear from Australian showrooms in the coming months, after more than two decades.

Kia's next-generation small car will switch to the K4 name, aligning it with the K3, K5 and K8 models sold by the brand overseas.

Since the Cerato name debuted in mid-2004, more than 202,000 vehicles have been reported as sold locally with that badge – across hatchbacks, sedans and coupes – about 30,000 cars ahead of Kia's second-best-selling nameplate in Australia, the defunct Rio city car.

As with the Kia Cerato, the Lamborghini Huracan name is disappearing from showrooms, but the vehicle will be replaced by a new-generation model wearing a different badge: Temerario.

Powered by a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 assisted by electric motors, the Temerario lacks the V10 of its predecessor, but makes up for it with more power, improved performance and the promise of sharper handling.

VFACTS sales reports published by the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries do not split Lamborghini supercar sales by model.

Instead, the data lists 890 vehicles as sold since the start of the Huracan's first full year – 2015 – across the Huracan, its Gallardo predecessor, and the larger Aventador and Revuelto model lines.

One of Australia's oldest new cars, the LDV V80 is planned to end production this year before autonomous emergency braking – safety technology te van lacks – becomes mandatory for new light-commercial vehicles in March 2025.

The V80 was launched in Australia with the LDV brand in 2013, but it can trace its origins to 2004 – when LDV was an independent British brand, rather than Chinese-owned – and earned a two-star safety rating in 2015, before the addition of electronic stabilty control elevated it to three stars.

Since 2014 – when LDV sales began to be published under then-new distributor Ateco – 4839 examples of the V80 van have been reported as sold locally, as well as 112 examples of the now-defunct V80 bus.

It will not be directly replaced, with LDV instead fielding the similarly-sized G10 – now a nine-year-old design that is soon to be updated – and latest-generation Deliver 7 launched in 2024.

Maserati's oldest models – the Ghibli and Quattroporte sedans, and Levante large SUV – departed Australian showrooms in 2024.

Production of the Ghibli and Quattroporte is understood to have ended closer to the end of 2023, but the final examples reached showrooms in 2024, alongside the end of the Levante.

The Ghibli and Quattroporte are set to merge into a new electric sedan sized similarly to the former – with the name of the latter – while an electric Levante is also planned, but their launches have been pushed back from 2025, to 2028 and 2027 respectively.

The outgoing Quattroporte introduced in 2013 is the sixth generation of the badge since 1963, while the other two models are the first generations of each nameplate.

VFACTS sales data shows 2342 Levantes (since 2016), 368 Quattroportes (since 2013, when sales data began to be reported), and 1860 Ghiblis (since 2014).

The final examples of Mini's unconventional six-door hatch – the Clubman – rolled off the production line in early 2024, amid a range-wide overhaul for the company's line-up.

About 1.1 million examples were produced for global markets since the nameplate debuted in 1969, though the modern version was not introduced until 2007, under BMW's ownership of the brand.

The first modern Clubman was a five-door – two front-side door, one rear-side door on the right side of the car, and two rear 'barn doors' to access the boot – before the latest version added a second rear-side door, for a total of six.

Mini Clubman sales in Australia were grouped with the regular Mini hatch range until the end of 2013.

Since 2014 – a year before the second modern generation was launched – 3191 Clubmans have been reported as sold, including 514 in its best year, 2016.

The Clubman has been indirectly replaced by the Mini Aceman, a five-door electric hatch-styled-SUV that is larger than the conventional five-door Mini, but smaller than the Clubman, and without its characteristic rear barn doors.

The Peugeot 508 was cut from Australian showrooms in September 2024, as part of a reshuffle of the French brand's range that saw it axe all plug-in hybrids, and delay plans for new electric vehicles.

The latest-generation 508 launched in 2019 with a single 1.6-litre petrol-only variant priced from $53,990 before on-road costs, but in the following five years the line-up went plug-in hybrid only, priced from $82,915.

This pricing was a vast departure from the previous 508, which limboed to $36,990 at points in its life – as well as its predecessors, such as the 407 and 607.

The petrol-powered Porsche 718 twins – the Boxster convertible and Cayman coupe – have been on sale in their current generations for close to a decade, but the end of the road has come, orders closing locally in May 2024.

For Australia and Europe, at least – the latter axed due to the 718 not meeting new cybersecurity rules – with production for the US market set to continue into 2025.

The next 718 will be an electric vehicle, launching first in convertible form, but recent reports suggest the new model previously planned for a 2025 launch is "well behind schedule".

As with the 718, order books for the petrol-powered Porsche Macan closed in Australia in May 2024 – at a similar time to Europe – with dealer stock expected to last the SUV until close to the middle of 2025.

It has been replaced by an electric vehicle, with a starting price $33,000 higher than that of the outgoing petrol version.

While the transition from petrol to electric in Australia will see the latter arrive as the former is discontinued, there will be more overlap in markets such as the US.

The 4.5-litre turbo-diesel V8 in the Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series is technically just a model variant – rather than an entire model line – but such is its significance to Australia that we are mentioning it here, rather than the model grade section below.

Toyota's last V8 in Australia, the single-turbo '1VD-FTV' has been offered in the 70 Series since 2007, and has gained a cult following.

Production of V8 versions of the LandCruiser 76 Series wagon, 78 Series Troop Carrier, and 79 Series cab-chassis in WorkMate and GX grades ended in September 2024.

The 79 Series GXL is not planned to follow until the fourth quarter of 2025 (October to December), but its demise was announced in 2024, so it earns a place on this list.

Sales of the 70 Series will continue, but with a smaller – although more powerful – 2.8-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine.

A number of vehicles saw particular model grades axed in 2024, even if other variants in the range will remain on sale into 2025 and beyond. These include, but are not limited to:
