Noteworthy Vehicles Discontinued by 2026

A variety of vehicles face discontinuation each year. These changes often go unnoticed by many car shoppers. However, this offers a chance to secure a good deal on a vehicle nearing the end of its lifecycle. Dealers might be inclined to reduce the prices of these vehicles in an effort to clear remaining inventory. Additionally, buying a discounted vehicle now could prove wise if it becomes a classic in the future. Edmunds’ auto experts have identified five notable models that will no longer be available after 2026.

Ford Escape

The Ford Escape, after 25 years and four generations, is leaving dealership lots. This small SUV may not rank with top competitors such as the Hyundai Tucson and Toyota RAV4. Nevertheless, its qualities make it attractive, particularly if you can find it at a discount. The Escape offers comfortable seating, a smooth ride, and easily operable controls. It also presents two powertrain options aimed at fuel efficiency. One is a hybrid with an EPA-estimated 39 mpg combined, the other a plug-in hybrid capable of traveling up to 37 miles on electric power before switching to the gas engine. The starting price for the 2026 Escape is $31,845.

Volkswagen ID.4

The Volkswagen ID.4 debuted as a strong competitor to the Tesla Model Y in 2021. It gained attention with its substantial driving range and rich features list, though it has since been overshadowed by models like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 or more affordable options such as the Chevrolet Equinox EV. Yet, purchasing a 2026 ID.4 is sensible given potential discounts around $10,000 below sticker price. The Pro trim, equipped with rear-wheel drive, offers significant value. It includes amenities like heated front seats, wireless charging, a 12.9-inch touchscreen, and various driver assist technologies. The 2026 ID.4 starts at $46,570.

Jaguar F-Pace

If you’ve ever wanted a Jaguar, the 2026 F-Pace represents your last chance for a gas-powered version. Jaguar is transitioning to a fully electric luxury brand, with the F-Pace being the final model from its internal-combustion lineup. Despite a decade without a redesign, it maintains a striking design, powerful engines, and sharp handling. Although it may not compete fully with newer luxury SUVs, a good deal could make it appealing. Consider the SVR 575 Edition, featuring a robust 567-horsepower V8 engine, as a prospective future classic. The starting price for the 2026 F-Pace is $58,375.

Toyota GR Supra

Toyota’s GR Supra, a successor to the iconic 1990s Supra, will conclude its run in 2026 after seven years. Known for its 382-horsepower engine, engaging drive, and optional manual transmission, its stylish design stands out. The end of GR Supra production isn’t due to poor sales. Rather, it resulted from its production link with the BMW Z4, which is also ceasing production. While a Supra successor might emerge, the current GR Supra holds potential as a future classic. The starting price is $59,595.

Tesla Model S

The Tesla Model S holds a significant place in automotive history as an early mass-produced electric vehicle. The 2026 model year is its final offering. While no longer at the forefront of luxury EVs, the Model S offers spaciousness, making it ideal for daily commutes and long trips. It features all-wheel drive, an EPA-estimated 410-mile range, and Tesla claims it accelerates from zero to 60 mph in 3.1 seconds. Tesla’s Full Self-Driving feature, allowing near-automated road travel, is another key selling point. Although unavailable new, used Model S vehicles start around $110,000.

If you’re considering purchasing any of these models, acting swiftly is advisable as inventory is limited.
