The Toyota RAV4 is the most popular SUV in America. U.S. drivers bought 239,451 of them in the first half of 2025 alone. No other crossover’s sales come close. A key to the RAV4’s success is its reputation for lasting a long time. But when the experts at iSeeCars ranked the makes and models owners keep for 15 years or longer, six SUVs beat the Toyota RAV4.

[1] Toyota Highlander

The Toyota Highlander is not a car its drivers give up lightly. In total, 12.4% of Highlanders still on the road remain with their original owners. It’s twice as likely as the average vehicle to stay with its first driver for 15 years. It’s the only SUV to earn that distinction, and the only other vehicle on its level might be the Toyota Prius.

iSeeCars Executive Analyst Karl Brauer said, “Along with being a reliable vehicle, the Toyota Highlander is among the most spacious three-row crossovers making it a popular choice for a practical family vehicle.” Translation: Many buyers drive theirs 15 years on because their family never outgrows it.

[2] Honda CR-V

The Honda CR-V is the second most popular SUV in the U.S. It’s also a keeper. Of the CR-Vs still on the road after 15 years, 10.7% remain with their original owner. It’s not the size of the Highlander, but it still has room. “The Honda CR-V is among the most spacious vehicles in its class.” Its reliability is also, obviously, on par with the Toyota’s.

[3] Honda Pilot

The Pilot is Honda’s competitor to the Highlander. Brauer explains, “The Pilot rivals a minivan in terms of appearance and cargo room.” So if it’s reliable and families don’t outgrow it, why not keep driving it? It turns out many drivers agree. Of the Pilots still on the road after 15 years, 10.4% still have their first driver.

[4] Subaru Forester

The Subaru brand is making a name for itself in the reliability rankings. Consumer Reports crowned it the automaker with the highest predicted reliability rankings of 2025—for new vehicles and vehicles up to 30 years old. It dethroned Honda and Toyota. So you won’t be shocked that drivers keep their Foresters forever. Of the Foresters still on the road after 15 years, 9.8% are with their first buyer.

[5] Toyota 4Runner

The 4Runner is Toyota’s midsize, full-frame SUV. That means it’s tough as nails. What it loses in fuel efficiency, it gains back in sheer longevity. Of the 4Runners on the road for 15-plus years, 9.4% remain with their first buyer.

[6] Toyota Sequoia

While the 4Runner shares a chassis and powertrain with the Tacoma, the full-size Sequoia SUV has more in common with the full-size Tundra. Brauer explains, “The midsize 4Runner and the full-size Sequoia are truck-based SUVs that are known for their durability.” Of the full-size Sequoias that reach 15 years, 9.1% have original owners who just can’t give them up.
