The 10 Best-Selling Used Vehicles from 2022
Classic models continue to sell well, while a few newcomers join the ranks.
Buying a used car has been surprisingly difficult for the last two years, with strong demand and diminished supply driving average prices as high as $33,000. Nonetheless, many buyers opted for used cars in 2022, in large part due to production wait times and dealership markup on new models. In fact, 9.8 million used cars from the model years 2017 through 2021 were sold last year in the US, according to a survey from iSeeCars.com.
Among those 9.8 million used vehicles sold, the sales trends remained largely true to what American consumers are known for, across both urban and rural populations. Trucks remain a central part of the used vehicle market, though crossovers continue to climb the sales ladder in a numbers war with economy sedans. Here are the 10 best-selling used vehicles of 2022, with some predictable models as well as a newcomer or two.
