5 Car Models That Are Ending in 2026

A small number of vehicles are discontinued every year. For car shoppers, these cancellations rarely make news. But if you know where to look, there's an opportunity to get a good deal on a vehicle that's at the end of its life cycle. There's a good chance dealers will be looking to offload their remaining inventory, which can present an opportunity for you to negotiate on price, notes the AP. It's also possible that a discounted vehicle might become a high-value classic many years from now. Edmunds' auto experts have highlighted five of the most notable models that won't be around after 2026. All of the following prices include destination fees.

• Ford Escape: After 25 years and four generations, the Escape is departing. Ford's small SUV doesn't fully measure up to rivals like the Hyundai Tucson and Toyota RAV4, but it's worth considering, especially if you can get one at a discount. The Escape has comfortable seating, smooth ride quality, and easy-to-use controls. It's also available with two powertrains: a hybrid that delivers an EPA-estimated 39mpg combined or a plug-in hybrid that can go up to 37 miles on all-electric power before switching over to gas. Starting price: $31,845.
• Volkswagen ID.4: The ID.4 was one of the first electric SUVs to challenge the Tesla Model Y when it was released in 2021. Its ample driving range and long list of standard features made it a viable choice for an EV, but over time, the ID.4 has been outclassed by competitors like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 or undercut on price by options such as the Chevrolet Equinox EV. However, Edmunds suggests you'll likely be able to get about $10,000 off the sticker price of a 2026. For the best value, check out the Pro trim with rear-wheel drive. It comes generously equipped with heated front seats, wireless charging, a 12.9-inch touchscreen, and several driver assist features. Starting price: $46,570.

• Jaguar F-Pace: If you've ever dreamed of owning a new Jaguar, then the 2026 F-Pace is your last chance at a gas-powered version. The F-Pace is the last surviving model from Jaguar's internal-combustion-engine past, and it won't be replaced. The Jag can't fully compete with newer small luxury SUVs, but scoring a good deal might be enough to tempt you. As a potential future classic, check out the performance-oriented SVR 575 Edition that comes with a muscular 567-horsepower V8 engine. Starting price: $58,375.
• Toyota GR Supra: After a seven-year run, 2026 will be the Toyota flagship sports car's final year. The GR Supra boasts a powerful 382-horsepower engine, an engaging driving experience, and an available manual transmission. The car's swoopy styling remains one of the more distinctive shapes on the road. While it's possible that a Supra successor is in the works, this GR Supra could easily qualify as a future classic. Starting price: $59,595.
• Tesla Model S: The Model S will forever hold a place as one of the earliest mass-produced electric vehicles. The 2026 model year is its last, however. A base Model S has all-wheel drive and an EPA-estimated range of 410 miles—making it ideal for daily driving and long road trips—and enough power to get you from zero to 60mph in a Tesla-cited 3.1 seconds. Tesla is no longer selling new Model S sedans, but used versions are available. Used starting pricing: around $110,000.
