These Are The Longest Lasting Cars That Will Take You Over 200k Miles

With soaring transaction prices and sky high interest rates, many drivers want a vehicle that can go the distance.

With that in mind, iSeeCars has released a new study that examines which models have the highest mileage. The company analyzed over two million used vehicles sold between January and October of this year, which have been sold for at least 10 of the past 20 model years and were still in production for the 2020 model year. They then ranked them based on high mileage, looking for what the top 1% of vehicles had on the odometer.

With that basic primer out of the way, lets jump into the results. 1% of Toyota Sequoia SUVs were determined to have at least 296,509 miles (477,185 km) on the odometer, which suggests they were built to last. The model was followed by the Toyota Land Cruiser at 280,236 miles (450,996 km).

Rounding out the top five spots were the Chevrolet Suburban (265,732 miles / 427,654 km), Toyota Tundra (256,022 miles / 412,027 km), and GMC Yukon XL (252,360 miles / 406,134 km). Trucks and SUVs dominated the list, although a few cars cracked into the top ten including the Toyota Prius (250,601 miles / 403,303 km) and the outgoing Toyota Avalon (245,710 miles / 395,432 km).

Speaking of cars, other models that can go the distance are the Toyota Camry Hybrid (230,547 miles / 371,029 km) and the discontinued Chevrolet Impala (230,343 miles / 370,701 km). They were followed by the Honda Accord, the non-hybrid Camry, and the old Lexus GS 350.

On the truck side, the aforementioned Toyota Tundra was tops and it was followed by the Honda Ridgeline (248,669 miles / 400,194 km) as well as the Toyota Tacoma (235,070 miles / 378,308 km). Coming in closely behind were the Nissan Titan and Ford F-150.

On the minivan side, the Toyota Sienna was the long distance champ with at least 1% of them having travelled 239,607 miles (385,610 km). The Honda Odyssey wasn’t far behind at 235,852 miles (379,567 km), but the Dodge Grand Caravan was a distant third at 209,350 miles (336,916 km).

On the EV side, there isn’t much to look at as only two models have been around for at least 10 of the past 20 years. They are the Tesla Model S (133,998 miles / 215,649 km) and Nissan Leaf (98,081 miles / 157,846 km). While electric vehicles can save drivers a lot of money in fuel and maintenance costs, battery degradation is a serious issue and the cost of replacing battery packs is steep.

Commenting on the results of the study, iSeeCars Executive Analyst Karl Brauer said “What we see is a list of highly-durable vehicles, capable of more than a quarter-million miles of use if properly maintained.” He went on to point out “this study isn’t reporting the maximum lifespan of these vehicles” rather “simply a measure of current odometer readings. Most of these cars are still in use and going strong.”
