June 17, 2026 — Written by The Car Guide

Given the cost of new cars these days, many people are opting for leasing and its lower monthly payments. However, many others are turning to used cars or choosing to prioritize maintenance and keep their current vehicle for longer.

With this in mind, reliability and durability become paramount. Which one stands out the most?

According to a study by the American firm iSeeCars, based on millions of vehicles, Toyota ranks first among brands in terms of longevity, followed by its luxury division, Lexus. On average, Toyota vehicles have a 17.8% chance of reaching at least 400,000 km (250,000 miles). Toyota’s ability to produce rugged SUVs and trucks, such as the 4Runner, Sequoia, Tacoma, and Tundra, contributes to this success. Even Toyota sedans and hybrids, such as the Avalon and Prius, consistently rank among the most durable models in the annual iSeeCars study.

Rank	Brand	% chance of reaching 400,000 km
1	Toyota	17.8%
2	Lexus	12.8%
3	Honda	10.8%
4	Acura	7.2%
5	GMC	4.6%
6	Tesla	4.6%
7	Chevrolet	4.5%
8	Cadillac	4.5%
9	Mazda	3.6%
10	Ram	3.5%

“Japanese vehicles have a well-deserved reputation for quality and durability,” says Karl Brauer, an analyst at iSeeCars. “After analyzing lifespan data from more than 174 million vehicles, we confirm that this reputation is well-deserved. Toyota, Lexus, Honda, and Acura produce cars that are more likely than average to reach 400,000 km.”

It’s also worth noting that three brands have a 0% chance of reaching 400,000 km: Jaguar, MINI, and Maserati.
