Seian cars are the death strain. The four traditional family has mainly disappeared from the United States as SUVs continue to dominate them. With the heading to next year, ten sedans are said to be over the cutting block. Some will be replaced – through SUVs – while others will go to The Big Junkyard in the sky, with no successor on the horizon.
Some popular models have survived in one way or another from this collective event, and their manufacturers were not at least, at the present time-any plans to replace them. BMW 3 Series is definitely not going anywhere, and Honda will not abandon the beloved CIVIC, and Tesla Model 3 is still a great year after year.
But not every car manufacturer is very fortunate.
The demand for sedans is diminished. Maxima left the market in 2024, and although it was not confirmed, Altima and vice versa And according to what was reported on the cutting block Go to next year, too. Some reports indicate that the production of Altima may continue until 2027, as the brand electric vehicle strategy remains in a state of flow. But it is still unclear.

For the first time in Sentra this year, as Nissan aims to preserve its civil rival in another generation, at least. But even the brand compact sedan is a sure thing to turn to a more volatile market than ever.
Subaru finds herself in a similar position. The demand for the inheritance that was due to the popularity decreased, as the sales of the medium -sized sedan decreased by less than 20,000 units in 2024. Compare this to the best sales of the brand, the Crossstrek Suv, which saw more than 181,000 dealer units during the same period. After 35 years of production in the United States, Subaru confirmed that The legacy will not reach the year 2026.
On the luxurious side, it dropped the integrated Audi A4 to make room for new and more expensive models – A5 and A6. At least these sedans are committed. BMW gives 8 Gran Coupe Sandff series with A special editionWhile the S60 and S90 will not return from Volvo for the year 2026. After a decade in the market, ACURA is Saying a bid farewell to TLX.
TLX is a particularly interesting condition. ACURA’s answer to the BMW 3 series has struggled in recent years, as the brand sells only 7,478 units last year, a decrease from 16,731 in 2023. Even at its peak in 2015-with slightly more than 47,000 sales-TLX is still behind competitors in BMW and Mercedes-Benz.

The demand for a popular legacy decreased once, with medium -sized sedan sales in less than 20,000 units in 2024.
The ACURA will replace the TLX, which is actively operating with a gas store with all its new electrical parts RSX SUVs, which will take production at the company’s Marisville factory. According to Acura, RSX will
“Consensus is better with the advanced needs of our customers and the changing landscapes of the auto industry.”
Given that the best sellers in Acura in 2024 are RDX (42,998 units) and MDX (50,112 units), and with the arrival of the new AdX, adding the other SUV to the logical formation from the sales perspective.
For a better idea of sedans that may leave the market next year, here is all of them:
- Acura TLX
- Audi A4
- BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe
- Chevrolet Malibu
- Genesis Book G80
- Nissan Altima (rumor)
- Nissan Vica (rumors)
- Subaru is a legacy
- Volvo S60
- Volvo S90
This represents one of the largest sedans in modern memory. In 2025, the market lost eight sedan cars, starting with Alpha Romeo Julia Cuadervogluelo, who focuses on performance to Mitsubishi Mirage G4, who is budget friendly. Six others disappeared in 2024, and seven years before that.
The numbers are fixed – but they are also heading up. Although many sedan cars that decreased in 2023 and 2024 received alternatives-Dodge provided the electric charger, the Acura switched ILX for Integra, and Toyota has replaced Avalon in the crown-Fourbor New Fours.
In 2024, sedan cars made up only 18.4 percent of new vehicle sales, according to data from Experts. The sedans used were better, with a 36.9 percent market share. Toyota Camry and Honda CIVIC led the package in new records, with Honda Accord closed. But this number represents a remarkable decrease since 2023, when sedans make up 21.4 percent of the new vehicle market.
The question now is: How long will this trend continue?
Reports indicate that more sedans can disappear in the coming years. Genesis may stop G70 after 2027, and many car manufacturers have begun to expand the scope of ambitious EV plans, which, in some cases, included new electric sedans.
At this rate, a handful of sedans may remain only on a lot of the agency with the continuation of SUVs. As sales continued to slip, long-term foods such as BMW 3 Series or Honda Civic-were not safe forever.
