1. Chevrolet Sail
   Honda Accord
2. Ford Fiesta
   Volkswagen Atlas

As part of its "almost all truck and SUV" business strategy for North America, some of Ford's beloved passenger cars are slated for discontinuation in 2020, including the Fiesta. The car has gotten great reviews, and the new model year looks promising, but there'll be no Fiesta for North America.

1. Toyota Corolla
   Chevrolet Impala
2. Ford Mustang
   Dodge Ram

The Chevy Impala has been one of the automaker's best-selling cars during periods of its long production life, but those numbers started to soften in recent years, as sedans are losing ground to trucks and SUVs in the American market. With the exception of the periods between 1985 and 1994 and 1996 to 1999, the Impala has had a place on Chevy's roster since 1958.

1. Infiniti QX60
   Lexus LC
2. Acura RDX
   Cadillac CTS

The production run of the Cadillac CTS reached its final destination in mid-2019 as the last model rolled off the line. The removal of the CTS from the Cadillac line makes room for the CT5 sports sedan, which the company hopes will find a bigger audience than the CTS was able to gather.

1. Toyota Camry
   Ford Probe
2. Volkswagen Beetle
   Honda Civic

One of the most recognizable cars in the 20th century, the VW Beetle went away for a while toward the end of that period, but then it was resurrected in 1997, reengineered and streamlined for the 21st century. That new chapter is coming to a close, however, as VW designs electric cars and other vehicles that fit the profitable SUV profile. Something tells us that we haven't seen the end of this lovable little car, though.

1. Subaru Outback
   Audi A4 Allroad
2. BMW 3 Series Sports Wagon
   Volkswagen Golf SportsWagen

SUVs and trucks have put a hurting on the station wagon segment — so much so that Volkswagen is discontinuing the Golf SportsWagen, making it the first time since the mid-1960s that the automaker hasn't had a wagon in its lineup.

1. Toyota Prius C
   Nissan Sentra
2. Chevrolet S-10
   Ford Expedition

Although it had some minor face work done, the Toyota Prius C in 2019 wasn't that different from the C of 2012, when it was introduced. The smaller, less expensive version of the automaker's game-changing Prius, the C will be replaced in 2020 by the Corolla Hybrid, which is larger and more fuel-efficient.

1. Volkswagen Jetta AWD
   Nissan 370Z Roadster
2. Mid-engined Ford Mustang
   Honda Odyssey Cabriolet

While the company is keeping the 370Z Coupe for the 2020 model year, Nissan is retiring the Roadster version of the vehicle. The Roadster sold just over 3,400 in 2018 and hadn't seen a major update since its introduction in 2009.

1. Cadillac ATS
   Honda Fit
2. Kia Forte
   Jeep Compass

Although the ATS got good reviews when it came out in the 2013 model year, sales really didn't keep pace with Cadillac's expectations. Designed to take on the BMW 3 and Mercedes C-Class series, the car wasn't what the public wanted. The ATS is going to be redesigned and rechristened as the CT4 for 2020.

1. i20
   Santa Fe XL
2. H350
   Universe

The Hyundai Santa Fe came in two flavors: the five-seater Sport and the seven-passenger XL. With the mid-sized crossover Palisade SUV entering the lineup in 2019, it's time to say goodbye to the XL. The Sport will simply be known as the Santa Fe.

1. Ford Fusion Hybrid
   Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid
2. Nissan Rogue Hybrid
   Toyota Century Hybrid

The sales figures weren't stellar for the Nissan Rogue Hybrid, introduced in the 2017 model year. While its sister Rogue and Rogue Sport vehicles each have a spot on Nissan's 2020 roster, the automaker decided to cut the Hybrid from the team. Part of the problem was probably that the Hybrid got an average of only 5 mpg better fuel economy than the Rogue.

1. Mazda CX-9
   Lamborghini Aventador
2. McLaren Senna
   Aston Martin Vanquish

The Vanquish took a spot on the Aston Martin line in 2001 and stayed until 2007 when it was retired in favor of the DBS V12. It returned in 2012 but has been again retired, this time for the DBS Superleggera. Is this the true end of the Vanquish? The company has dropped hints that its next mid-engined supercar might have a very familiar name.

1. Volkswagen California
   Fiat 500
2. Toyota Mark X
   Hyundai Ioniq

The Fiat 500 was the car the company used to reenter the North American marketplace, but the little city car and its electric cousin, the 500e, won't be around when the time comes for the 2020 model year. This is also true for the convertible 500 and the Abarth, which was the high-performance entry in the lineup.

1. Toyota Harrier
   Jaguar XF
2. Smart ForTwo
   Ford Edge

It was a bold idea — a car built strictly for transportation, fuel efficiency and not much else. The Smart ForTwo, which was made by Mercedes (!) in a joint production with Swiss watchmaker Swatch (!!), was always a tricky fit in the U.S. marketplace. Mercedes is pulling the plug on the car (which went all-electric in 2017) for the American market in 2020.

1. Jaguar F-Type Manual
   Honda CR-V AWD
2. Jeep Wrangler Right-Hand Drive
   Audi Q5 AWD

Having a manual transmission wasn't an option when Jaguar released the F-Type in 2012, but there seemed to be enough demand that the automaker included a manual option in the 2016 model year. Sadly, there wasn't, with only 4% of buyers going for that option. The F-Type will be all automatic for the 2020 year.

1. Ford Escape
   Chevrolet Cruze
2. Honda Pilot
   Kia Optima

While it will still see production for the Argentinian and Chinese markets, the Chevy Cruze has run its final mile in the North American and South Korean showrooms, without news of a replacement. This isn't a surprise to many, as the car-buying public is increasingly choosing SUVs over compact vehicles.

1. Jaguar I-Pace
   Toyota C-HR
2. Nissan Pulsar
   Infiniti QX30

Infiniti, which is the luxury division of Nissan, wanted to compete in Western Europe, but Toyota's Lexus brand was just too strong. The company decided to focus on other more profitable markets instead. Since the QX30 was made in Sunderland, England, that marked the end of that line.

1. Ford Taurus
   Toyota Corolla
2. Volkswagen Fox
   Nissan Maxima

The Taurus was once one of Ford's top sellers, but the company's decision to focus on trucks and SUVs put a lot of vehicles on the shelf, and the Taurus is one of them. The last of these flagship vehicles rolled off the assembly line on March 1, 2019.

1. Lincoln MKT
   Chevrolet TrailBlazer
2. Hyundai Elantra
   Nissan Cube

The Lincoln MKT — closely related to the Ford Flex — has been a big seller on the fleet sale market, but not so much on the consumer side of the business. Come 2020, the MKT, which seats seven and is popular as livery vehicles and funeral hearses, will be marketed directly to the fleet audience.

1. BMW 640i Gran Turismo
   Acura RLX
2. Jaguar XE
   Infiniti G

The BMW 640i Gran Turismo was a bit of an odd duck, not fitting into the sedan, hatchback or SUV market. As a result, it had trouble finding an audience. BMW is pulling this 6 Series Gran Turismo, along with the 3 Series Gran Turismo and the 6 Series Gran Coupe, out of its lineup for 2020.

1. Jeep Gladiator
   Chrysler Voyager
2. Lincoln MKC
   Hyundai Tucson

After retiring the MKC moniker, the 2020 Lincoln Corsair will be the smallest SUV in the Ford brand's luxury lineup. The MKC debuted in the 2015 model year and got a bit of a facelift for 2019. For 2020, the company, wanting to get away from the "MK" naming convention, decided that the vehicle needed a refit and a new name.

1. Hyundai e-Sonata
   Nissan Sentra EX
2. Ford EcoSport
   Chevrolet Volt

The Chevy Volt — not to be confused with the Chevy Bolt, which a lot of people have done over the years — hit the world stage in the 2011 model year, after being teased in 2007. It was expensive to make and never found enough of an audience to make it economical for the company, so the Volt is being unplugged in 2020.
