Sluggish sales have often been the deciding factor in ending a model's life cycle, but the industry's shift toward electric vehicles is also becoming a major driving force. These cancellations tend to fly under the radar until it is too late for most people to try to snag a deal. But for people who don't mind that a vehicle's lineage is ending, these cars can make for a good value because they are more likely to be discounted or potentially become a high-value classic. To assist potential buyers, experts have highlighted the most notable models that will be phased out this year. This list is sorted by the manufacturer's suggested retail price and includes the destination charge.
CHEVROLET BOLT EV/EUV
The Chevrolet Bolt EV debuted for 2017 and represented a big leap forward for EVs because of its relatively low price, spacious interior, fun driving dynamics, and long driving range of 238 miles. Since then, Chevy has updated the Bolt's design, increased its driving range and added the slightly larger Bolt EUV in 2022. The Bolt's discontinuation is surprising considering sales are better than ever, but Chevy's parent company GM is making room for the production of its upcoming electric trucks and SUVs based on a new EV architecture. Interestingly, the Bolt is one of the few cars on our list to potentially rise from the ashes, as the automaker recently announced that a new Bolt is in the works.
Starting MSRP: $27,495 for Bolt EV; $28,795 for Bolt EUV
