The Longest-Lasting Toyota Sedan Isn't the Camry or CorollaAutoblogKarl FurlongTue, September 22, 2026 at 3:31 PM UTCAdd us on GoogleAutoblog and Yahoo may earn commission from links in this article.For years, Toyota has built some of the longest-lasting vehicles on the road. Earlier this year, we came across the story of a Sienna that passed over a million kilometers (621,371 miles), and that's hardly the first high-mile Toyota story we've heard. But what Toyota sedan has the best chance of lasting to at least 250,000 miles or beyond? The Camry and Corolla are obvious answers, but a new longevity study puts several other sedans ahead of them, including one other model from the Toyota stable.Related: Toyota Vs.

It has a 23.2% chance of lasting to 250,000 miles and beyond, which is 6.7x better than the average. The next Toyota sedans on the list are the Avalon Hybrid at fifth, the Camry Hybrid at 10th, the gas-powered Camry at 12th, and the Corolla at 16th. Here's a look at how every Toyota sedan compares.Longest-Lasting Toyota SedansRank (excluding other brands)Model% Chance of Lasting 250,000+ MilesCompared to Average1Toyota Avalon23.2%6.7x2Toyota Avalon Hybrid17.4%5.0x3Toyota Camry Hybrid11.5%3.3x4Toyota Camry8.8%2.5X5Toyota Corolla5.4%1.6xThe top-ranked sedan in the study was the Lexus LS, which was way ahead of everything else with a 38.8% chance of reaching 250K miles. This was the only sedan to rank ahead of the Avalon. The Honda Accord Hybrid, Lexus IS, Honda Civic, Acura ILX, and Toyota Prius all made the top 10.AdvertisementAdvertisement"The top 15 ranked passenger cars are all above the 5.4% industry average, proving longevity is not confined to trucks and SUVs," said iSeeCars Executive Analyst, Karl Brauer. "Buyers who don't need a large vehicle, and don't want the higher up-front costs and reduced fuel efficiency of a truck or SUV, can buy a traditional sedan or hatchback while still enjoying a long vehicle lifespan."Related: The Toyota Crown Replaced the Avalon. Was It a Mistake?The Avalon Is A Sensible Used Buy2019 Toyota AvalonToyotaThe Toyota Avalon was last sold in the U.S. for the 2022 model year, having been superseded by the quirky Crown. Its results in this longevity study aside, the Avalon has an excellent reliability reputation. The 2022 Avalon has zero recalls to its name and a superb quality and reliability score from JD Power of 91 out of 100.The robust powertrain of the Avalon has much to do with its strong durability reputation. It uses a 3.5-liter naturally-aspirated V6 with 301 horsepower, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission; no turbos and no electrification of any kind to worry about. It must be said that even the hybrid version rates highly for reliability, though.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe interior still looks smart in 2026, with high-quality materials and sturdy build quality. Being the top Toyota sedan of its time, it's built to a higher standard than the Camry or Corolla.Last priced from around $38,000 (including destination) when new, the average price of a used 2022 Avalon is $26,624 across 72 listings, according to CarBuzz. That gets you a spacious, powerful full-size sedan for the price of a Corolla. As we've seen, an Avalon can reach high miles effortlessly, particularly if it has been well maintained.Why It Matters2019 Toyota AvalonToyotaNot everyone can afford a new vehicle, but for a family in need of a spacious and reliable sedan, a used Avalon is about as sensible as it gets. It's comfortable, practical, and still has reliable V6 power.The iSeeCars study solidifies Toyota's continued dominance in quality and durability. Beyond only passenger cars, the Sequoia SUV was found to be the longest-lasting vehicle in the entire study, while Toyota is the longest-lasting brand.Related: Longest-Lasting Cars 2026: Five Of The Highest-Ranked Are Already GoneThis story was originally published by Autoblog on Sep 22, 2026, where it first appeared in the Features section.
