Each year, automakers phase out a few vehicle models without much fanfare. While these discontinuations often go unnoticed, they offer potential buyers an opportunity. Dealers are typically eager to clear out their remaining stock, which presents a chance to negotiate favorable prices. Moreover, a discontinued vehicle might turn into a coveted classic in the future. Here, we highlight five vehicles that will not be produced after 2026, with all prices reflecting destination fees.
Ford Escape
The Ford Escape has been around for 25 years over four generations. While it does not completely compete with top models like the Hyundai Tucson and Toyota RAV4, it still has attractive features. The Escape provides comfortable seating, smooth ride quality, and user-friendly controls. It’s available with a hybrid or plug-in hybrid engine to improve fuel efficiency, offering an EPA-estimated 39 mpg combined or up to 37 miles on electric power before switching to gas.
2026 Escape starting price: $31,845
Volkswagen ID.4
The Volkswagen ID.4 was an early competitor of the Tesla Model Y in the electric SUV market. Initially, it offered solid driving range and numerous features, but has since been outshone by newer models like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and more affordable options like the Chevrolet Equinox EV. Despite this, a 2026 ID.4 might be appealing, especially with the potential to secure about $10,000 off its sticker price. The Pro trim with rear-wheel drive packs heated front seats, wireless charging, a 12.9-inch touchscreen, and multiple driver-assist functions.
2026 ID.4 starting price: $46,570
Jaguar F-Pace
The 2026 Jaguar F-Pace presents the last chance to own a gas-powered Jaguar as the brand shifts entirely to electric vehicles. The F-Pace remains Jaguar’s sole internal-combustion model and boasts an eye-catching design, potent engine options, and precise handling, maintained over its 10-year lifespan without redesign. Though not quite on par with the latest luxury SUVs, it remains enticing—particularly with deals on the performance-focused SVR 575 Edition that includes a commanding 567-horsepower V8 engine.
2026 F-Pace starting price: $58,375
Toyota GR Supra
The modern Toyota GR Supra continues the legacy of the iconic 1990s Supra until its production halts in 2026. The sports car features a robust 382-horsepower engine and dynamic handling, also available with a manual transmission. Its design remains visually striking. Production ceases not due to poor sales, but rather the end of a joint manufacturing venture with BMW, who produced the similar Z4 roadster.
Starting price: $59,595
Tesla Model S
The Tesla Model S is iconic as one of the pioneering mass-produced electric vehicles. Although its prominence has waned in the luxury EV sector, it remains a practical alternative with all-wheel drive, an EPA-estimated 410-mile range, and acceleration from zero to 60 mph in 3.1 seconds. Its Full Self-Driving feature remains a selling point, offering automated driving capabilities while keeping the driver engaged.
Used 2026 Model S pricing: starts around $110,000
