Automakers are constantly introducing new models and nameplates to their lineups to meet consumer preferences and to keep their lineup fresh. With that comes the need to cycle older models out.

These discontinuations aren’t promoted, and shoppers often don’t realize they’re gone until it’s too late. With this in mind, Edmunds’ experts highlighted five outgoing vehicles that will be gone after the 2021 model year.

While there are reasons behind each vehicle’s discontinuation, it’s possible you might want one before they’re sold out. They might not be easy to find given the current new vehicle shortage, so you might want to act sooner rather than later.

The vehicles below are all 2021s and are sorted by manufacturer’s suggested retail price from low to high and include the destination charge.

Volkswagen Golf

Hatchbacks have fallen out of favor with many shoppers over the years. The latest casualty for the class is one of its most well-known. The Golf ends its long run in the U.S. after the 2021 model year, but VW will still offer the Golf GTI and the Golf R, which return as fully redesigned 2022 models.

Find one of these remaining Golfs and you’ll get a small hatchback that’s practical and comfortable. But there also are signs VW just didn’t have much interest in keeping this final-generation Golf competitive. Compared to other small hatchbacks, this Golf suffers from mediocre performance and a lack of technology features and advanced driver aids.

Starting MSRP: $24,190

Mazda 6

A number of sedans have been put to rest recently. But the Mazda 6’s passing is especially notable. The current generation debuted for the 2014 model year, though the 2021 car hardly shows its age considering its sleek styling, sharp handling and an optional turbocharged motor with power to spare.

That wasn’t enough to keep the Mazda 6 on the market, however. Shoppers are increasingly turning to crossover SUVs instead of smaller cars and sedans, and there wasn’t enough interest in the 6 to warrant Mazda’s continued investment.

It’s unfortunate since the 6 is one of Edmunds’ highest-rated sedans. It’s worth seeking one out.

Starting MSRP: $25,470

Volvo V60

Station wagons are a niche vehicle that few automakers bother with in 2021. Volvo has been a wagon cheerleader longer than most, but it too is throwing in the towel on its small V60 and larger V90 wagons. Both models offer near-SUV practicality, attractive styling and appealing value.

Volvo doesn’t sell many V60s — just 385 V60s were sold in the first half of 2021 — but there’s a lot to like about this small wagon if you’re able to find one. And Volvo will continue to sell the V60 Cross Country, which is a V60 with a slightly higher ride height and a few SUV-like styling elements.

Starting MSRP: $42,045

Toyota Land Cruiser

Imagine a dinosaur that somehow survived to see the present day. That’s the Toyota Land Cruiser. This big, traditional SUV is quite dated compared to the versatile crossovers that now dominate the automotive landscape. But the Land Cruiser enjoys a fan base of old-school loyalists despite its lack of smartphone connectivity and a base price of nearly $90,000.

This generation debuted in 2008, and it’s survived this long by appealing to buyers who value uncompromising size and off-road heritage. Alas, its starting price and thirsty fuel consumption limited its appeal against rivals such as the Ford Expedition and Chevrolet Suburban.

The Land Cruiser exits with no Toyota replacement in the works.

Starting MSRP: $87,030

Acura NSX

The all-wheel-drive hybrid Acura NSX launched for 2017 as one of the most ambitious vehicle reboots to hit the market in recent memory. Highlights include accessible performance and good fuel efficiency for an exotic sports car.

But its high price, tiny trunk and dated infotainment system are also notable turnoffs.

Acura will produce 300 upgraded NSX Type S models for the U.S. market in 2022 as a proper send-off. With that, this generation of the NSX will come to an end with no successor in sight.

In a field of exceptional options, the NSX simply struggled to stand out.

MSRP of 2021 Acura NSX: $159,495

Edmunds says

Car shoppers are buying crossovers and SUVs in large numbers, which leaves little room for other models. That squeeze is leaving shoppers with less diversity of choice, but the sales figures are undeniable.
