A just-completed study by our friends at iSeeCars.com reveals which car models are the longest-lasting. More specifically, the study analyzed nearly 16 million used vehicle transactions to see which models owners keep over 200,000 miles most frequently. Toyota dominates the list with Honda doing very well in some key high-volume segments. In addition to having the vehicle with the highest rate of 200K mile transactions, the Toyota brand also topped six categories and was named the longest lasting brand by the study researchers.
After my presentation, I will post the chart here for you to see.
One notable category win for Toyota was the Tundra taking home the award for the top full-sized truck.
Automakers like GM, Ford, and RAM spar over whose trucks last the longest. At least as far as this study goes, the answer is Toyota Tundra! “Of all vehicle types, pickup trucks are the most likely to reach 200,000 miles with a 1.8 percent average for the segment, double the average for SUVs,” said Phong Ly, CEO of iSeeCars. “Pickup trucks are commonly used as work vehicles and are likely to accrue more miles than a typical passenger car while being more likely to undergo preventative maintenance and necessary repairs.” Overall, the Honda Ridgeline edged out the Tundra and the Tacoma was third.
In the green vehicle segment overall, the Highlander Hybrid tops the Toyota Prius, and not by a little. The Prius and Camry Hybrid are the other podium finishers and the only hybrids above average. iSeeCars says because many hybrid and electric vehicles didn’t come into the marketplace until recently, there aren’t many models that have been on the road long enough to reach the 200,000-mile mark. Owners have the incentive to keep the Toyota Prius and the Toyota Camry Hybrid on the road for longer to accrue fuel savings to offset the higher upfront cost. These vehicles also attract practical buyers who want to take advantage of Prius’ low cost of ownership due to its reliability and fuel efficiency by keeping the vehicle on the road for as long as possible.”
