Cars are usually discontinued due to low sales, stricter emission norms (like BS6 Phase 2), or the launch of a newer generation model replacing the old one.

You cannot buy a discontinued car as new from a showroom, but they are often available in the used car market at attractive prices.

Manufacturers are legally required to provide spare parts for a certain period (usually 10-15 years) after a car is discontinued. However, availability might take longer for older models.

Generally, the resale value drops once a car is discontinued. However, popular models with high demand (like the old Toyota Fortuner or Maruti 800) may hold their value well.

We maintain an extensive archive of specifications for discontinued cars. You can browse them on this page to compare them with newer models.
