Everyone’s favorite forbidden fruit sports car won’t live to see 2027. Alpine is pulling the plug on the A110 after the 2026 model year and replacing it with a new sports car that may or may not be electric-only. The company has hinted at reviving the combustion powertrain, but the A110 successor should be largely electrified. A convertible variant will join the new sports car, and maybe even a\u00a02+2 configuration.<\/p>\n
Audi A1<\/p>\n

Audi\u2019s entry-level model is officially on its way out. The A1 is being discontinued, which isn\u2019t exactly a surprise given that Audi announced those plans years ago. Back in 2021, the company confirmed the A1 would end after the current generation, and even after 1.4 million models sold, there doesn’t seem to be a replacement in sight.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Audi Q2<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Audi is also ending production of its smallest crossover, the Q2.\u00a0The Q2 arrived in 2016 and had a successful decade, racking up nearly 900,000 units sold in that time. Sadly, it won\u2019t get a direct replacement either. That said, Audi is working on a new A2 E-Tron, which should fill the gap left by the A1 and Q2.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ford Focus<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Ford of Europe has been cutting models left and right lately. First, the Mondeo and Fiesta, and now the Focus is gone too. In November 2025, the final Focus\u2014a white five-door hatchback\u2014rolled off the line. So what comes next? During Ford\u2019s Q4 2025 analyst and investor conference, CEO Jim Farley said the company still has “exciting plans for Europe” when it comes to passenger cars. Fingers crossed.<\/p>\n
Ford Kuga<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The current third-generation Kuga debuted in 2019 and got a facelift for 2024. Essentially a European version of the Escape, it shares Ford\u2019s C2 platform with the now-discontinued Focus. While not confirmed,\u00a0the Kuga\u2019s future remains uncertain. With the Focus already gone, it wouldn\u2019t be surprising if the Kuga doesn\u2019t stick around much longer either.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s getting harder for high-performance gas cars to survive in Europe, and Honda clearly sees the writing on the wall. The Civic Type R was especially difficult to justify for many buyers once prices climbed close to \u20ac60,000. Honda already gave the car a proper send-off in Europe with the 40-unit “Ultimate Edition,” but production will continue in the US and Japan for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n
Hyundai i10<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Hyundai launched the third-generation i10 in Europe back in late 2019, but six years later, the tiny city car is already done. Hyundai confirmed production in Turkey ended at the close of 2025. There won\u2019t be a direct replacement, although the fully electric Inster has started filling a similar role. Interestingly, the i10\u2019s sibling, the Kia Picanto, is still available.<\/p>\n
Mazda MX-30 R-EV<\/p>\n

The MX-30 R-EV brought Mazda\u2019s rotary engine back to production\u2014just not in the way enthusiasts had hoped. Instead of powering the wheels directly, the 75-horsepower single-rotor engine worked as a range extender. The fully electric MX-30 already disappeared in 2024, and now the rotary-assisted R-EV has been discontinued in Europe. In Germany, Mazda sold just over 2,000 examples across two years.<\/p>\n
Mercedes-Benz B-Class<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It\u2019s honestly a little sad to see the B-Class go. Ever since the original launched, the compact minivan has been especially popular with older buyers. Still, the current W247 generation is nearing the end, and Mercedes doesn\u2019t have a direct successor planned. Production has already ended at the Rastatt plant, while manufacturing in Hungary is expected to stop sometime this year. Some of the B-Class\u2019s practicality could live on in the next-generation A-Class expected around 2028.<\/p>\n

Mercedes teaming up with Renault hasn\u2019t always worked out. The X-Class pickup struggled, and now the same thing is happening with the T-Class and EQT\u2014both based on the Renault Kangoo. In April 2025, Mercedes confirmed production of the Citan and T-Class would end during the second quarter of 2026.<\/p>\n
Toyota GR86<\/p>\n

Don’t worry, the Toyota GR86 isn’t going anywhere in America (at least, not right now). But the sports coupe was always a pretty rare sight in Europe, and now it’s quietly disappeared from the configurator altogether. The second-generation GR86 launched in 2021, with much of its DNA tracing back to the original GT86. Subaru already said goodbye to the BRZ in Germany, with a Final Edition model unveiled in mid-2024, so the GR86 likely isn\u2019t far behind. That said, a new Celica could be on the horizon.<\/p>\n
Volkswagen Touran<\/p>\n

The Volkswagen Touran officially reached the end of the road on April 29, 2026, when the final example rolled off the production line in Wolfsburg. After more than 11 years in production, the second-generation Touran had become the oldest model still sold by Volkswagen in Germany. Worldwide production totaled around 2.3 million vehicles, and even near the end, the Touran still managed more than 14,000 new registrations in Germany during 2025. It will be missed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
