10 best-selling used cars & EVs in 2025

The used-vehicle market in 2025 favored familiarity over flash, and established EVs dominating electric demand, according to iSeeCars

Pickup trucks, SUVs, and a handful of enduring sedans proved resilient in a market where used supply and demand continued to balance around utility, value, and brand equity. 

iSeeCars analyzed more than nine million transactions of one-to-five-year-old vehicles sold in the U.S. and found that the usual suspects — full-size trucks from Detroit’s big three — still rule the roost, even as shifts in regional preferences and EV growth hint at a slowly diversifying landscape.

The 2025 used-vehicle market rewarded familiarity over novelty. Large, utilitarian vehicles continued to dominate overall sales, reflecting buyers’ preference for proven performance and versatility. 

Conventional passenger cars still drew cost-conscious buyers seeking reliability, while used EV demand clustered around a few established models, signaling that trust and infrastructure now matter more than experimentation.

Here are the 10 best-selling used vehicles in 2025 across overall models and EVs, according to iSeeCars.
