With the arrival of 2023, rich in new products, manufacturers have temporarily reduced their assortment in order to better prepare for the appearance of future replacements, even new models. here are some famous models who said goodbye to us in 2022. What is interesting is to view this list as the car is developing…

We collect here traditional sedans, the one that has flooded our roads for decades. And who today are pushed to the exit. Usually is Mondeoa legendary model in Europe since its first generation in 1993 Mascot in Renault, more recent, but which wanted to become an heir Lagoon and earlier with R21 ! Volkswagen offered its own trade wind, which survives only as a station wagon. At Hyundai, IONIQ resisted since the sedan disappeared i40 in 2019.

Citroen C4 SpaceTourer, Renault Scenic

Another category sacrificed on the altar of SUVs minivans. After the Espace revolution initiated by Renault in 1984, every European brand had one. The 90s and 2000s marked the golden age of these big cars. With the false appearance of communal services that subjugate families. Since then disappeared, some compact models continued to resist. It was a case Picturesque and C4 SpaceTourer (ex-C4 Picasso). This year they left us. In 2024/2025, the Scénic will be replaced by an SUV, while Citroën has C5 Aircross, which took the top spot.

Renault Kadjar

Definitely saw the year 2022 Renault is retiring several models ! Family SUV Kadjar left the catalog this year, for to give way to his Australian successor. Arriving a few months after the stunning success of the Peugeot 3008, its French rival was so slow to find its place that his career ended at half-tone. Austral intends to maintain the honor of the elder with bolder and more modern styling, advanced technology and a much neater and “premium” presentation.

BMW i3

This is the departure of the one who was one of the first electric cars in Europe, BMW i3. With the Renault Zoé i3, it left the market with a 100% electric offering. In 2013, remember, you had to believe it! because, BMW has expanded its electric line, and aimed it at standard sedans and SUVs. Thus it is the new BMW iX1 who replaces her after she leaves.
