Some of the most popular cars in the world could soon disappear from UK roads as major automakers start to end the sale of best-selling models.
Automakers, including Ford, BMW and Volvo, recently announced plans to axe some of their models for various reasons over the last 12 months.
Many manufacturers are ending production of their petrol and diesel models in favour of electric vehicles, while others are more focused on alternative projects.
GB News has rounded up some of the vehicles that drivers could see disappear in the coming months and years.
Ford Focus

Vauxhall Vivaro and Movano
Vauxhall axed its hydrogen van project, citing limited availability of hydrogen refuelling infrastructure
| STELLANTISVauxhall's parent company Stellantis announced in July last year that it would be winding down the development of new hydrogen vans as a result of "no development prospect".

It added that it does not expect adoption of hydrogen fuel cell light commercial vehicles to increase before 2030.
