We’re only a few months into 2026, but there’s already a handful of cars that won’t live to see the end of the year. Some automakers have already started discontinuing models that are either slow sellers or showing their age to make room for newer and better products.
Last year, more than 30 vehicles ended up in the big junkyard in the sky, ranging from luxury sedans and station wagons to several electric models (you can read the previous lists at the bottom of the story). So far in 2026, 14 vehicles are destined to meet the same fate come 2027.
More cars are destined to join this list as the year goes on, and we’ll update it accordingly. For now, these are the cars we know won’t see in 2027.
Acura RDX*
This one gets an asterisk. Yes, Acura is technically ending production of the current RDX. The compact luxury SUV won’t carry over to the 2027 model year. That said, the company has already confirmed that a hybrid replacement is in the works. The big question is timing. According to Acura, a new RDX won’t arrive for "a couple of years."
Audi S6
With the arrival of the new A6 and A6 E-Tron models, Audi is saying goodbye to its mid-range performer. The S6 will reach the end of the line after the 2026 model year, and we’ll say goodbye to the 444-horsepower twin-charged V6 sports sedan. Thankfully, a new RS6 Avant is supposedly on the way.
Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid
Stellantis is pulling the plug—pun intended—on nearly all of its plug-in hybrid models in the US, and the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid is no exception. Introduced for the 2017 model year, the electrified minivan has been on sale for nearly a decade. With Stellantis rethinking its US electrification strategy, the Pacifica Hybrid is officially on its way out.
Chrysler Voyager
Chrysler is killing its Voyager minivan—but only in name. The entry-level Voyager will be folded back into the Pacifica lineup with the arrival of the facelifted model in 2027. It will be dubbed the Pacifica LX, and sadly, it will get a slight price hike, climbing from $41,990 to $43,490.
Dodge Hornet
This one likely won’t be missed. After just three years on the market, Dodge is discontinuing its slow-selling and underwhelming compact SUV. Fewer than 40,000 Hornets were sold during its entire production run, and that weak demand—combined with tariffs—has forced Dodge to rethink its strategy for the Italian-built model.
Hyundai Ioniq 6
With tariffs still impacting the industry, Hyundai has decided to pull the plug on the standard Ioniq 6 for the US. The sleek electric sedan debuted for the 2023 model year, but it wasn’t nearly as popular as its SUV sibling, the Ioniq 5, which will remain in the lineup for the foreseeable future. That said, Hyundai will continue to offer its performance-oriented Ioniq 6 N in the US.
Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe
As part of Stellantis’s revised electrification plans, Jeep is dropping the plug-in-hybrid Grand Cherokee 4xe. Introduced for the 2022 model year, it offered up to 25 miles of all-electric range. But a massive 2025 recall affecting more than 90,000 vehicles sealed its fate, and the model will soon be gone for good.
Jeep Wrangler 4xe
Like the Grand Cherokee 4xe, the Wrangler 4xe won’t make it to 2027. The plug-in hybrid suffered from similar issues, resulting in a 2025 recall that impacted more than 228,000 vehicles. The standard Wrangler, thankfully, lives on.
Karma Revero
Believe it or not, the Karma Revero was still in production until late last year. That run has now ended for good, with Karma officially wrapping up production after a surprisingly long five-year stretch. The Revero will be replaced by the upcoming Gyesera, which promises a new powertrain and a fresh start for the brand.
Kia Niro PHEV / EV
The Kia Niro is now down to one trim for 2027. The company is killing off its plug-in-hybrid and fully electric Niro SUVs, leaving the standard hybrid version as the only option available in the US.
Lexus LC
It’s the end of the line for the beloved Lexus LC. The two-door, V8 sports car officially meets its maker this year, following the death of the oft-forgotten hybrid version in 2025. We can’t say we blame Lexus—even in its best year, the LC was never a big seller. But we’ll miss it regardless.
Mercedes-AMG C63
Mercedes-Benz is finally ending production of the loathed four-cylinder C63. After admitting that fans weren’t too fond of the top-end performance model with a four-cylinder plug-in-hybrid powertrain, the German automaker is closing the door on the C63 and promises to replace it with a new six-cylinder model, likely a shared powertrain with the CLE53.
Tesla Model S
Tesla is winding down production of the long-running Model S (and the next car on this list) to make way for production of its Optimus humanoid robots at the company’s Fremont, California, facility (yes, really). The Model S was a survivor, debuting for the 2013 model year and receiving a handful of facelifts in that time.
Tesla Model X
Just like the Model S, Tesla will pull the plug (pun intended) on its Model X SUV after this year. The Model X debuted two years after the Model S, in 2015, and received a few subtle facelifts in its long tenure. But much like the Model S, Tesla’s biggest SUV was getting a bit long in the tooth.
