The Top 10 Fastest Selling Used Cars Are Not What You Were Expecting

Hyundai Elantra N

The Performance Hyundai Stays On The Market 0.7x As Long As Average

The Hyundai Elantra N is one of only three conventional gas-powered vehicles on this list, meaning they run solely on combustion, with no electrification to help them along. This car sets the tone for fast-selling ICE vehicles, as a high-powered performance model. A 2023 Hyundai Elantra N packs a turbocharged 2.0-liter straight-four cranking out 276 horsepower, clearing 60 mph in as little as 4.8 seconds with launch control.

Base models from 2023 are trending at more than $10,000 below their initial MSRP of $32,900, with some models selling for under $20,000. The DCT models with launch control initially sold for $34,400, and are selling for as little as $20,850 according to our own price tracking tool.

The Tesla Model Y is one of three models that made the cut after the brand’s recent streamlining announcement. The soon-to-be-retired Model S did not make this list, nor will it be available as a new car for the 2027 model year.

The Model Y is one of a select few vehicles that makes iSeeCars‘ fastest-selling used models list, as well as the top 10 selling new cars, selling more than 350,000 units in 2025.

Audi Q5 Sportback

Luxury cars like the Audi Q5 Sportback are often more attractive as used buys than they are as new models. Nothing depreciates like a premium car, and a 2023 Sportback has already lost $16,000 from its initial MSRP of $51,000 in the last three years. Of course, with an annual maintenance cost of around $928, according to RepairPal, you might pay those savings back in repair costs, but it beats paying for that, and a brand-new MSRP.

Tesla Cybertruck

Tesla’s Futuristic Pickup Takes 0.6x As Long To Sell As Most Cars

The Tesla Cybertruck has proven to not be nearly as popular as Tesla had hoped. At one point, this truck was supposed to rival the F-150 as one of the most popular full-size pickups on the market. As it turns out, the car has a small, but very devoted fanbase.

The pickup is still pricier than a comparable Silverado EV, which may be limiting its appeal to mainstream buyers, and pumping up its used sales numbers.

Lexus ES 300h

The Lexus Hybrid Flies Off The Lot In 0.6x The Time It Takes Most Cars To Sell

The Lexus ES 300h is the first of three hybrids on this list, with two of them bearing the Lexus brand. The ES 300h delivers 215 hp from a hybridized 2.5-liter straight-four, averaging 44 miles to the gallon, which makes it more and more attractive in 2026, with gas topping five bucks a gallon in some areas. We expect hybrids to continue flying off the lot throughout the rest of the year.
