There are many ways to measure the popularity of a car. The most traditional is monthly as well as annual sales. Another measure of vehicle popularity is an online search. Many people who go to car sites plan to buy, which leads to real sales.
However, the number of online searches and unit sales don’t always match. Sometimes, some of the most searched vehicles weren’t among the top 10 selling vehicles at all. We did our research and we found out which are the most popular cars in the United States. Here is our list of the top 10 most popular cars.
1. Honda Accord
In the first place is the venerable Honda Accord. This car makes up 2.4% of the used car market, just ahead of the Camry. The average selling price of this car is notably close, too, at about $15,000.
2. Toyota Camry
In the second place is Camry, Toyota’s awarded and popular car. Its average selling price is also about $15,000. Overall, this car accounts for about 2.3% of the used car market.
3. Nissan Altima
The Nissan Altima is in third place. This car rounds out the top three with its average selling price of $15,100 in its later life cycles. In addition, Nissan Altima makes up a solid 2% of the used car market.
4. Honda Civic
Honda’s Civic is the fourth most popular vehicle across the 20 largest cities in the United States. This car is known for its reliability as well as running up the odometer to eye-popping figures. The Civic has an average price of about $13,300 and makes up 1.9% of the sued car market.
