The Toyota Highlander scored the title of ‘Best Midsize SUV’ and ‘Best Third-Row SUV’

The Toyota Highlander is a pretty popular SUV. As it turns out, it’s also the ‘Best Midsize SUV’ to buy used. It’s also the ‘Best Third-Row SUV’ to buy used, according to iSee Cars. Oh, and the hybrid model? It was tapped by iSee Cars as the ‘Best Hybrid SUV’ that you can buy used. So what’s behind its win? Well, according to iSee Cars, the Highlander’s high rankings can be attributed to its long-term reliability, low depreciation, and high safety ratings from the National Highway Transit Safety Administration (NHTSA).

The Toyota Tundra and the Toyota Tacoma stole the show 

The Toyota Highlander wasn’t the only Toyota model to show up on iSee Car’s list of best used cars. Both the Toyota Tacoma and the Toyota Tundra appeared on the list as well. Though, that shouldn’t be much of a surprise. According to Consumer Reports, the Toyota Tundra has earned some pretty impressive reliability ratings. Older Tacoma models also earned high-reliability ratings from Consumer Reports, especially 2005 to 2015 models.

Turns out you can’t go wrong with a used Toyota Avalon

But maybe SUVs and pickups aren’t your style. Maybe you’re in the market for a used car like the Toyota Avalon. Fortunately for you, the Avalon also graced iSee Car’s list of ‘Best Used Cars.’ Multiple model years have been named a Top Safety Pick+ by the IIHS. The Avalon has earned high-reliability ratings consistently from Consumer Reports

The ‘Best Hybrid Car’ goes to the Toyota Prius

The Toyota Prius also made iSee Car’s list. It was recognized as the ‘Best Hybrid Car’ to buy used. But having earned pretty high-reliability ratings from Consumer Reports, that’s not all that surprising. Add in that the IIHS has recognized the Prius as a Top Safety Pick more than once and you really can’t go wrong with the Toyota Prius if you’re in the market for a used car.

The Toyota Yaris is the best used car under $10,000

And if you’re shopping on a budget? Not to worry. Toyota has you covered there too. According to iSee Cars, the Toyota Yaris is the best used car you can buy for under $10,000. According to JD Power, the Yaris is pretty reliable. The Toyota Yaris has also earned a five-star overall safety rating from the NHTSA. The IIHS also recognized the 2013 Yaris as a Top Safety Pick. So if you’re really looking to get the most bang for your buck with your used car purchase? It’s safe to say the Toyota Yaris makes for a pretty decent pick.

But which is the best used car for you?

Shopping for a used car can make for a pretty daunting experience. Especially if you aren’t quite sure what to look for. But odds are? If you pick a used Toyota, you’ll probably be just fine.
