Ranking: Top 20 Most Durable Vehicles

Published on December 14, 2022 in Pre-owned vehicles by The Car Guide

Good initial quality and a high level of reliability are two elements that are common in the most durable vehicles on the market. But don’t forget that a vehicle can only last if it’s maintained properly!

The American research firm iSeeCars has recently published a new annual ranking of models with the longest life cycles. To do so, they’ve analysed over two million vehicles manufactured and sold over the last 20 years.  

Their top 20 consists entirely of models with at least 2.5% of examples on the road reaching 200,000 miles (320 000 km). Here’s what it looks like:

Rank

Model

Potential Service Life

1

Toyota Sequoia

477,184 km

2

Toyota Land Cruiser

450,996 km

3

Chevrolet Suburban

430,872 km

4

Toyota Tundra

412,027 km

5

GMC Yukon XL

406,134 km

6

17

Toyota Tacoma

18

Nissan Titan

375,451 km

19

Ford F-150

374,413 km

20

Toyota Camry

371,029 km

What we see here is a list of very durable vehicles that can be driven several hundred thousand kilometres with adequate maintenance. “Just to be clear, the study is not about the maximum lifespan of vehicles, but rather about the mileage reached by those that are still on the road. Most of them will remain serviceable for a few more years”, says iSeeCars executive analyst Karl Brauer.

Like in the previous rankings, you’ll notice a strong presence of Toyota models and large American SUVs. Environmentally speaking, their high durability helps compensate for their generally higher fuel consumption.  

In two of the 20 models (Highlander, Camry), the spotlight is on their hybrid version. As for the Prius, it’s exclusively hybrid. Over such a long service life, many litres of gasoline have been saved.  

Finally, even though the American manufacturers dominate the pickup sales, we can see that their Japanese rivals Toyota, Honda and Nissan are the ones who make the most durable vehicles out there.
