All the cars and trucks being discontinued for 2022 – Roadshow [CNET]
When the i3 launched in 2013, it was one of the first mass-produced EVs to arrive from a luxury manufacturer. It looked like no other BMW we’d seen before, what with its high roof, short wheelbase and upright hatchback shape with rear-hinged back doors. Plus, the interior was extremely cool, with an open-concept design. The i3’s range was about 120 miles or so, or 200 miles with the optional range extender gas engine. Thankfully, a lot of the lessons learned from the i3 will be found in the very cool iX crossover that’ll hit BMW dealers next year.
BMW 2 Series Convertible
With its 405-horsepower engine and optional six-speed manual transmission, the M2 is one of our favorite BMWs. Like the 2 Series convertible, the M2’s departure comes due to the arrival of the new 2 Series coupe. The good news? There’s a new M2 in the works. Expect to see it sometime in 2022 as a 2023 model.

Now that we have the F-150 hybrid with 570 pound-feet of torque, Ford is axing the 3.0-liter diesel engine option that offered 440 lb.-ft. of twist. The hybrid powerplant has more chutzpah for towing, and it has more horsepower to boot. However, freeway warriors might be disappointed as the diesel was more efficient on the highway, able to return 27 mpg compared to 24 mpg for the hybrid. Still, we don’t think the diesel’s discontinuation will in any way keep the F-150 from being America’s best-selling vehicle again and again.
Honda Clarity
Now that we have the excellent Ioniq 5, it makes sense that Hyundai is discontinuing the Ioniq EV. For those that find the Ioniq 5’s sci-fi looks to be a bit much, the numberless Ioniq will survive as a hybrid and plug-in hybrid. It’s likely the Ioniq EV won’t be missed, though, since it was only sold in 13 states and had a relatively low range of 170 miles.
Hyundai Veloster
Much like the Dodge Durango Hellcat, the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT was the SUV for families with a need for speed. The 6.4-liter V8 pushed out 475 hp, and this thing could scoot. Jeep even made a Hellcat version with even more power. A new Grand Cherokee is coming online for 2022 that won’t get the SRT badge, which is a bit of a sad trombone.

Considering how many Mercedes-Benz models are out there, we won’t blame you for forgetting about the AMG A35 sedan. We always liked this little guy, even if it was stiff as heck. Sure, the powertrain lives on in the CLA35 sedan, but we preferred the looks of the A-Class. The GLB35 crossover has the same turbo engine, too, which might be a better fit for new car shoppers. It is sporting the same drivetrain, but the swoopy looks just never spoke to me like the A-class. Pour one out for the little guy.
Mercedes-Benz V8s
Nissan entered the commercial vehicle market with its NV van lineup. The full-size NV was based on the last-generation Nissan Titan and simply couldn’t keep up with the Ford Transits and Mercedes-Benz Sprinters of the world. The smaller NV200, which was also known as the Chevrolet City Express, rose to stardom as New York’s Taxi of Tomorrow, but it never gained traction with general consumers.
Polestar 1
The Dawn and Wraith were based on the last-generation Rolls-Royce Ghost, which has since been completely overhauled. Rolls-Royce says new versions are likely on the way, and the Spectre EV isn’t technically a replacement. For now, it’s time for the sun to set on the Dawn and Wraith models.

This isn’t a full-stoppage of the Volkswagen Golf; we’ll still get the performance-oriented Golf GTI and Golf R models. However, the standard Golf is being discontinued in the US for 2022. We loved the seventh-generation Golf, which started right around $25,000 and was a viable alternative to the Honda Civic and Mazda3.
