suv models to disappear in 2027 | Indy Auto Man, Indiana

The 2027 model year is shaping up to be a major turning point for the SUV market. Several familiar crossovers are ending production, leaving the U.S. market, as their manufacturers redirect investment toward hybrids, next-generation EVs, and more profitable vehicle segments.

The Indy Auto Man experts have reviewed industry updates to identify 10 crossovers and SUVs that will not continue into the 2027 model year, at least in their current form.

Some are ending after long runs, while others are being replaced by new generations, caught in a rapidly changing market. For car shoppers in Indiana, this review highlights which autos are worth a closer look, particularly when a discontinued model still fits your needs better than its replacement.

And if you were postponing the purchase for a while, it’s high time to grab the best of these favorites, as there will soon be a limited choice, even on the secondary market.

Acura RDX

The Acura RDX will end production after the 2026 model year, with no 2027 version planned. Acura has confirmed that a hybrid successor is in development, although it has not assigned that next-generation RDX a model year. Industry reporting suggests the redesigned two-motor hybrid RDX could arrive as a 2028 model, leaving a one-model-year gap.

The outgoing RDX remains an appealing compact luxury SUV for buyers who prefer a conventional turbocharged gasoline powertrain, responsive road manners, a roomy five-passenger cabin, and Acura’s upscale-but-practical approach. The RDX's 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, Super Handling All-Wheel Drive availability, and useful cargo space give it a character distinct from that of the hybrid model expected to follow.

What Acura will offer for 2027

Acura has not released a complete official 2027 model-year lineup. The ADX subcompact crossover and the three-row MDX are the strongest likely SUV carryovers, while the next RDX Hybrid is confirmed for the future rather than specifically for 2027.

BMW iX

BMW will stop allocating the iX electric SUV to the United States after the 2026 model year, although the vehicle is expected to continue in selected overseas markets. The iX was an early flagship for BMW’s dedicated electric-SUV strategy, but it will make way in the U.S. lineup for newer Neue Klasse-based EVs, including the iX3.

The iX stands out for its distinctive styling, quiet luxury-focused cabin, powerful dual-motor all-wheel-drive performance, and advanced technology. Depending on the version, the BMW iX offers long-range capability and strong acceleration in a two-row premium SUV format.

What BMW cars to expect in 2027

2027 BMW iX3 EV in Indiana

BMW’s important 2027 EV novelty is the iX3, a newly developed electric SUV based on the brand’s Neue Klasse architecture rather than an electric conversion of the gas-powered X3. Consumer Reports expects an iX3 40 xDrive version in early 2027 with a range slightly above 300 miles. BMW is also expected to introduce an all-electric iX5 60 xDrive in early 2027, with an estimated range of up to 435 miles.

That means the outgoing iX may appeal to used-EV buyers who want a flagship-size BMW electric SUV without waiting for the brand’s next wave of models.

Ford Escape

After roughly 25 years in the U.S. market, the Ford Escape will not return for 2027. Ford is ending production to free factory capacity for a future lineup of more affordable electric vehicles. Once the Escape model departs, the Bronco Sport will become Ford’s sole entry in the compact crossover class.

That creates a clear distinction between the two Ford SUV models. The Escape has traditionally been the more road-focused, family-oriented compact Ford SUV, offering practical passenger space, available all-wheel drive, and gasoline, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid options in recent years. The Bronco Sport, by comparison, leans harder into rugged styling and light-trail capability.

What Ford prepares for 2027

Ford Fathom | 2027 lineup | Indy Auto Man, Indiana

Ford has announced a future affordable EV program, beginning with a midsize electric pickup called the Ford Fathom, which is expected to enter production in Kentucky in 2027. Consumer Reports lists a projected starting price of $28,350. Ford’s broader next-generation EV strategy is built around a universal platform intended to support multiple future models.

For shoppers who value the Escape’s available hybrid efficiency and more conventional crossover driving experience, a well-maintained used Escape could become a particularly sensible choice after new examples disappear from Ford dealerships.

Jaguar F-Pace

Jaguar is winding down the F-Pace as part of a much broader reinvention. The midsize F-Pace SUV was Jaguar’s last remaining conventional high-volume model in the United States, and its departure will leave the brand without an SUV in this class for the immediate future.

The F-Pace combines athletic handling, premium interior appointments, and a choice of turbocharged or high-performance powertrains, depending on trim and model year. It is a compelling alternative for drivers who want a luxury SUV with a more performance-oriented feel than many rivals.

What Jaguar will offer for 2027

Jaguar Type 01 | Indy Auto Man, Indiana

Jaguar’s big change is its move toward an ultra-luxury electric future. The brand’s upcoming Type 01 four-door electric grand tourer is expected to arrive around 2027 and is positioned well above the old Jaguar lineup, reportedly priced around $130,000. It is not a direct F-Pace replacement, and Jaguar has not confirmed a new midsize SUV with comparable size, utility, or price.

Honda Prologue

Honda will end Prologue production at the end of 2026. The midsize EV was developed with General Motors and built on GM’s Ultium-based architecture, making it Honda’s first all-electric SUV for the U.S. market.

The Prologue delivers a familiar midsize-SUV package: five-passenger seating, a clean modern interior, available all-wheel drive, and an 85-kWh battery. At launch, Honda positioned it as an approachable electric crossover with pricing in the upper-$40,000 range before incentives.

What’s new in the Honda 2027 lineup

2027 Honda SUV

Honda is changing course toward hybrids. Beginning in 2027, the company plans to launch next-generation hybrid models using a new hybrid system and platform; Honda expects to introduce 15 next-generation hybrid models globally by the end of its fiscal year ending March 2030, with North America as a key market.

Honda has not named the exact 2027 replacements for the Prologue. However, the strategic direction is clear: buyers should expect a stronger emphasis on gasoline-electric hybrids rather than a direct continuation of the GM-based Prologue.

Land Rover Discovery Sport

Land Rover will end Discovery Sport production in December 2026. The compact luxury SUV has been an entry point to the Land Rover brand since its debut and became one of the Land Rover’s more popular models over its long production run. When it leaves, the Range Rover Evoque will become the brand’s most affordable offering in the USA car market for now.

The Discovery Sport’s main appeal is its premium compact-SUV size, flexible seating, available third-row capacity on many versions, and genuine all-weather or light off-road capability. It is more family-oriented and versatile than many small luxury crossovers.

What Land Rover prepares for 2027

2027 Land Rover Evoque

Land Rover has not announced a direct Discovery Sport replacement for 2027. The brand is reportedly reconfiguring the production facility for future-generation products, while the Evoque remains the entry-level model.

For Indiana used buyers, that makes the Discovery Sport notable: it offers a practical, relatively compact Land Rover format that may not have a direct equivalent in the near-term lineup.

Tesla Model X

The Tesla Model X reportedly ends production in the second quarter of 2026. Introduced more than a decade ago, the Model X was Tesla’s first SUV and became known for its falcon-wing rear doors, available three-row seating, rapid acceleration, and long-range electric performance.

The Tesla Model X unusual door design helped set it apart but also contributed to the model’s early production complexity. Tesla updated the Model X over its lifecycle, most significantly with the 2021 refresh, but the SUV is now nearing the end of its run.

2027 Tesla lineup

2027 Tesla Model Y L | Indy Auto Man, IN

Tesla’s new 2027-oriented novelty is the Model Y L, a longer-wheelbase version of the Model Y. Consumer Reports says it is approximately seven inches longer and two inches taller than the standard Model Y, with seating for up to six passengers in three rows.

The Model Y L is likely to be a more mainstream family EV, while the Model X remains the more distinctive, premium, performance-focused choice. That difference could help preserve interest in clean, well-equipped used Model X examples, provided buyers are comfortable with the ownership costs and complexity of its signature doors.

Volkswagen ID.4

Volkswagen has temporarily ended ID.4 production in North America to prioritize the more profitable Atlas. The ID.4 was Volkswagen’s first dedicated EV in the U.S., arriving for the 2022 model year, but the company has not provided a timetable for its return.

As a practical five-passenger electric crossover, the ID.4 emphasizes ease of daily use, a relatively spacious cabin, a composed ride quality, and familiar SUV proportions. It was designed for shoppers who wanted an EV without moving to an unusually styled or dramatically different vehicle format.

What Volkswagen will offer for 2027

Volkswagen has said a “future version” of the ID.4 will come to the U.S., although timing remains unconfirmed. Reports suggested that it could use the ID. Tiguan name, but Volkswagen has not officially confirmed that name or a launch date.

Until more details emerge, used ID.4 models may be the most accessible way for buyers to get Volkswagen’s first dedicated U.S.-market electric SUV. Shoppers should compare battery condition, remaining warranty coverage, charging compatibility, and any completed software updates.

Volvo EX30

Volvo will discontinue the EX30 in the U.S. after the 2026 model year, citing changing market conditions. The EX30 is a compact electric crossover introduced as Volvo’s most affordable EV, with a starting price of $34,950 when it was announced for the U.S. market.

Despite its small footprint, the EX30 brought strong performance. The Twin Motor Performance version produces up to 422 horsepower and can reach 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, while the single-motor extended-range model was rated for up to 275 miles of EPA-estimated range.

What’s new in 2027 Volvo model range

2027 Volvo EX60 SUV | Indy Auto Man, Indiana

Volvo’s key new 2027 electric SUV is the EX60, a two-row midsize EV positioned above the outgoing EX30. Consumer Reports lists outputs ranging from 369 to 583 horsepower, an estimated range from 307 to 400 miles depending on configuration, and the ability to add about 173 miles of range in 10 minutes at a 400-kW DC fast charger.

The EX60 will be more expensive and larger than the EX30, so the discontinued model may remain attractive to used shoppers seeking a smaller, premium EV with fast acceleration and a more attainable price point.

Why Indiana used buyers should act

A discontinued SUV does not automatically become a collectible or guarantee higher resale values. Condition, mileage, maintenance history, trim, local demand, fuel prices, and the availability of parts and service will still matter far more than a model’s discontinued status.

Still, a disappearing crossover can become more desirable in the used market when it fills a role that its replacement does not. The Ford Escape Hybrid may appeal to Indianapolis shoppers who want an efficient compact crossover instead of a rugged Bronco Sport. The Acura RDX offers a traditional turbocharged luxury-SUV experience on Indiana roads until its eventual hybrid successor arrives. The Jaguar F-Pace and Tesla Model X deliver distinctive premium character that their brands’ future products may not replicate.

At Indy Auto Man, a prominent Indiana used car dealership, this is a good time to shop the pre-owned SUV before the strongest examples become harder to find. Buyers who know they want an RDX, Escape, F-Pace, Discovery Sport, Model X, or another outgoing crossover should focus on finding the right vehicle now: one with documented maintenance, a clean history report, appropriate mileage, and the features that matter most for daily driving.

A discontinued model can be a smart used-car purchase when it fits your lifestyle, not merely because production has ended. Browse the available SUV inventory at Indy Auto Man in Indianapolis and Westfield, compare vehicle histories and equipment, and take your preferred model for a test drive before growing used-market demand narrows the selection.
