The cars that won’t be around next year, according to Edmunds

Five vehicles are set to be discontinued by 2026, according to Edmunds' auto experts. These cancellations rarely make headlines, but they present an opportunity for savvy car shoppers to snag a deal on a vehicle nearing the end of its life cycle.

Ford's Escape, a small SUV, will leave dealership showrooms after 25 years and four generations. Despite being outperformed by rivals like the Hyundai Tucson and Toyota RAV4, the Escape still offers comfortable seating, smooth ride quality, and easy-to-use controls. It's also available with two powertrains for better fuel efficiency.

The ID.4, one of the first electric SUVs, will also cease production in 2026. While it has been outclassed by competitors such as the Hyundai Ioniq 5, picking up a 2026 ID.4 can still be a smart move. Edmunds analysis suggests buyers can secure about $10,000 off the sticker price, making it a good value.

Jaguar's gas-powered F-Pace will be the last of its kind, as the company transitions to an all-electric brand. The F-Pace boasts a powerful engine and sharp handling, making it a potential future classic for those willing to negotiate on price.

Toyota's GR Supra, a modern successor to the iconic Supra from the 1990s, will end production after seven years. Despite its end, the GR Supra's powerful engine, engaging driving experience, and distinctive styling make it a compelling option for potential collectors.

Lastly, the Tesla Model S, an early mass-produced electric vehicle, will mark its final year in 2026. Although it's become an afterthought for a luxury EV, the Model S remains a roomy and practical electric sedan with impressive performance capabilities. Used versions are available, with starting prices around $110,000 USD.
