Notable Vehicles Discontinued by 2026

A small number of vehicles are discontinued annually. Most car shoppers might not notice these cancellations. However, there’s an opportunity to get a deal on a vehicle at the end of its life cycle. Dealers might be eager to offload their remaining inventory of a discontinued model. This gives you room to negotiate on price. Some discounted vehicles might become high-value classics in the future. Edmunds’ auto experts have highlighted five key models that won’t be available after 2026. All following prices include destination fees.

Ford Escape

After 25 years and four generations, the Ford Escape is leaving dealerships. Although it doesn’t stand out against top competitors like the Hyundai Tucson or Toyota RAV4, the Escape has merits. It offers comfortable seating, a smooth ride, and easy controls. Available powertrains include a hybrid achieving an EPA-estimated 39 mpg combined and a plug-in hybrid enabling 37 miles of all-electric power, then switching to its gas engine. 2026 Escape starting price: $31,845

Volkswagen ID.4

The Volkswagen ID.4 debuted in 2021, challenging the Tesla Model Y. Its driving range and standard features made it a strong contender. However, newer EVs like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 or the cheaper Chevrolet Equinox EV have surpassed it. Opting for a 2026 ID.4 is worth considering, as you might save around $10,000 off its sticker price based on Edmunds’ transaction data. The Pro trim with standard rear-wheel drive offers good value, equipped with heated front seats, wireless charging, a 12.9-inch touchscreen, and various driver assist features. 2026 ID.4 starting price: $46,570

Jaguar F-Pace

If owning a new Jaguar appeals to you, the 2026 F-Pace is your last chance for a gas-powered model. Jaguar will transition to an all-electric ultra-luxury brand. Although the F-Pace endured for 10 years without a redesign, it still impresses with its stylish design, optional robust engines, and agile handling. It can’t fully compete against newer luxury SUVs, but a good deal might sway you. The performance-oriented SVR 575 Edition, featuring a 567-horsepower V8 engine, could be a potential future classic. 2026 F-Pace starting price: $58,375

Toyota GR Supra

The GR Supra, as Toyota’s flagship sports car, follows the iconic 1990s Supra. The 2026 model year is its last after a seven-year run. It features a 382-horsepower engine, delivers engaging driving, and offers a manual transmission. Its distinct styling stands out on the road. The discontinuation isn’t due to slow sales. Toyota built it alongside the BMW Z4 roadster, and with the Z4 ending, the Supra couldn’t continue. A possible successor might emerge, but this GR Supra may qualify as a future classic. Starting price: $59,595

Tesla Model S

The Model S will always hold significance as an early mass-produced electric car. 2026 marks its final year. Although its role in luxury EVs has diminished, it’s spacious, suitable for daily driving, and great for long trips. A base Model S includes all-wheel drive, an EPA-estimated 410 miles range, and accelerates from zero to 60 mph in 3.1 seconds according to Tesla. Its Full Self-Driving feature allows automated driving on most roads, though driver readiness to take control is required. Tesla no longer sells it new on their website, but used models are available. Used 2026 Model S pricing: starting around $110,000
