The SUV landscape is always changing; familiar nameplates leave the market and new ones come in to replace them. Whether an SUV simply reaches the end of its lifecycle or it loses its sales steam, there’s almost always another one waiting to take its place.
Going into 2027, some automakers will say goodbye to their longest-lasting SUVs. Staples like the Ford Escape will end their run after a quarter century in the US. An EV that helped define the segment, the Tesla Model X, will disappear after more than a decade. Meanwhile, newer EVs like the Honda Prologue and Volvo EX30 are already being shown the door.
