Another year, another batch of cars driving off into the sunset. As automakers shift toward electrification and trim unprofitable models, 2026 will bring a surprising number of cancellations.  Longtime favorites like the Nissan Altima, Ford Escape, and Cadillac XT5 will be gone in 2026, despite continuing to sell in decent volume. Whether you’re a fan of affordable sedans or luxury crossovers, you’ll want to take note of what’s leaving the showroom floor for good.

Here are all the cars, crossovers, and SUVs confirmed to be discontinued in the U.S. in 2026.

In case you missed it: All the cars being cancelled in 2025.

Cadillac XT5

Production of the XT5 will end by late 2026. After already cutting the XT4 earlier in 2025, Cadillac is continuing its shift to an all-electric future, leaving fewer internal combustion crossovers on the lot.

Cadillac XT6

The XT6 will end production even sooner, with 2025 marking its final model year. Cadillac’s three-row luxury SUV has never been a huge standout in the segment, and it’s being phased out as GM prepares to scale up EV production across its brands.

Ford Escape

One of Ford’s top-selling models over the past two decades, the Escape is reaching the end of the road. According to reporting from Ford Authority, production will end after the 2025 model year. The Louisville Assembly plant that manufactures the Escape will be retooled for a new electric model.

Nissan Altima

Another sedan bites the dust. The Altima, once a darling of the mid-2000s, will be discontinued in 2026 as Nissan restructures its lineup and refocuses on more profitable segments. After retiring the Maxima last year, the Altima’s demise reflects Nissan’s move away from sedans.

Nissan Versa

In 2025, the Versa holds the title of America’s last new car under $20,000. But that affordability wasn’t enough to keep it alive. The Versa will be discontinued in 2026 due to low profit margins and dwindling demand for budget sedans. It’s a sad sign of the times: affordable new cars are becoming extinct.

Porsche 718 Boxster and Cayman

Say goodbye to Porsche’s iconic soft-top roadster. The 718 Boxster is being phased out after 2025, making room for an all-electric successor in the coming years. Like its drop-top sibling, the Cayman will also exit the lineup.

Porsche Macan (Gas-Powered)

While the new Macan EV is already a hit, the gas-powered Macan is on its way out. The gas variant will be discontinued after 2025 as Porsche pushes for an all-electric lineup by the end of the decade. With Taycan sales dwindling, it’s not clear if that goal will hold up much longer.

Toyota GR Supra

Toyota has confirmed that the current-generation Supra will end production in 2026. While it may return one day, Toyota fans will face a gap in production before a next-generation version appears. For now, the Supra nameplate is heading back into the vault.

Volvo S90

Due to the ongoing global trade conflict and rising tariffs, Volvo has decided to end U.S. sales of the European-built S90 sedan. This marks the end of a premium, understated luxury car that struggled to find a large audience in America.

Cancelled, Sort Of: Audi A4

After a long and respected run, the Audi A4 is technically being retired in favor of newer electrified and performance-focused offerings. However, Audi says its spirit will live on in the Audi A5. Audi has simply decided to change their naming convention, and will now reserve even numbers for EVs. We’re not sure if name changes will be enough to lure in buyers, but we’ll see!

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are these cars being discontinued globally or just in the U.S.?
A: Most of the vehicles listed above are being dropped from the U.S. market. Some may continue in other countries, especially where sedans are still in demand. For example, the Volvo S90 and the overseas equivalents of Nissan’s sedans will continue to be sold in Mexico, Asia, and beyond.

Q: Why are so many sedans and budget cars being discontinued?
A: profitability. Automakers make more money on crossovers, SUVs, and EVs. As sedan sales fall and costs rise, entry-level cars like the Versa are increasingly unviable.

Q: Can I still get a deal on a discontinued car?
A: Yes. As dealers try to move the last of their inventory, prices often become more negotiable. Tools like CarEdge Pro can help you spot these opportunities.

Q: What’s replacing these models?
A: In most cases, they’re being replaced by EVs or not replaced at all. For example, the gas-powered Macan is being succeeded by the Macan EV, while others like the Altima and Versa are simply ending with no direct replacement.
