Tesla, BMW and Volvo Are Losing Familiar Models for 2027 – See Which Vehicles Won’t Return

The 2027 model year is bringing more than new vehicles to showrooms. It is also marking the end of several familiar cars and SUVs, though some of the missing models are expected to return in a different form.

According to a Car and Driver report published Monday, September 28, the departures range from affordable crossovers to luxury sedans and electric vehicles. In some cases, the 2027 model year is simply a gap between generations.

The Acura RDX is one of those temporary departures. The compact SUV will skip 2027 while Acura prepares a redesigned version expected for 2028, per the report. The Cadillac CT5 is also leaving for now, with a new generation expected in the coming years. The Volkswagen ID.4 may return after a break under a different name, while the gas-powered Porsche Macan is expected to return later in the decade. The Macan Electric will remain available, the outlet reported.

Several other SUVs appear to be leaving their current lineups altogether. According to the report, they include the BMW iX , Honda Prologue , Land Rover Discovery Sport and Ford Escape . The Jaguar F-Pace , the brand's last remaining model, is also departing as Jaguar prepares its next electric vehicle. Ford , meanwhile, will continue selling the Bronco Sport in the compact SUV segment, per Car and Driver .

Luxury-car buyers will lose a number of choices. According to the outlet, the Audi RS7 , the final member of the A7 line, ends after 2026. So do the current BMW 8-Series, Cadillac CT4 and Lexus LS . The 8-Series name could return, but BMW has not detailed a replacement. Cadillac's CT4 departure includes the high-performance CT4-V Blackwing, while the end of the LS leaves Lexus with the IS and ES sedans.

The departures come as Cadillac faces another challenge. As First For Autos previously reported , the brand's score in the 2026 American Customer Satisfaction Index Automobile Study fell 15 percent from the previous year, leaving it last among the luxury brands surveyed. Audi and Volkswagen have also made headlines for a separate issue. The automakers recalled 208,724 SUVs over a steering failure risk . That recall involves certain Volkswagen Tiguan and Atlas SUVs and Audi Q3s; it does not involve the departing RS7 or ID.4.

Sports-car fans face two notable goodbyes: the BMW Z4 roadster and Toyota GR Supra coupe. The Lexus LC 500 coupe and convertible also end after 2026. The hybrid LC 500h had already ceased production after the 2025 model year, Car and Driver reported.

The commercial-vehicle and minivan lineups are changing, too. Chevrolet is ending its electric BrightDrop van, per the report, and Chrysler is dropping the Voyager name, although the entry-level 2027 Pacifica LX will carry over much of its design.

Electric vehicles account for several more departures. The Tesla Model S and Model X end after long runs, according to Car and Driver . The Polestar 4 is leaving the U.S. market. Volvo 's small electric EX30 and EX40 are also leaving the U.S. lineup.

The gas-powered Toyota Highlander is ending after 2026, according to the report. The outlet says an electric Highlander will arrive as a 2028 model, leaving a gap in the 2027 lineup.

Volvo will have no XC40 for the 2027 model year, but the gas-powered SUV is expected back with updated styling for 2028, per the report. The brand is also ending its V90 Cross Country wagon. At Porsche , the electric Taycan sedan continues, while its Cross Turismo and Sport Turismo wagon versions do not make the 2027 lineup.

If your favorite model is on the list, you may still have time to find one. Dealers could have 2026 vehicles in stock, and the RDX, CT5, gas-powered Macan, ID.4 and XC40 may return after a break, the outlet reported.
