We’re only a few weeks into 2026, but there’s already a handful of cars that won’t live to see the end of the year. As has become an annual tradition, automakers are once again 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, automakers have already confirmed that six vehicles won’t make it to the 2027 model year.
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 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."
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.
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.
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.
