The SUVs with the longest lifespan, particularly those most likely to reach 250,000 miles or more, are predominantly Toyota and Honda models. According to multiple studies, the top SUVs for longevity are:
- Toyota Land Cruiser: Has about a 47.9% chance of lasting 250,000+ miles, making it the longest-lasting SUV with roughly 3.2 times the average SUV’s durability.
- Toyota Sequoia: Very close to the Land Cruiser with a 47.1% chance, known for enduring nearly 300,000 miles.
- Honda Pilot: Comes in third with a 42.7% chance, also well above average.
- Toyota 4Runner: Has a 41.0% chance of lasting 250,000+ miles.
- Acura MDX: Around 29.2% chance.
- Honda Element: About 27.8% chance.
- Honda CR-V: Around 27.5% chance.
- Subaru Outback: 22.3% chance.
- GMC Yukon XL: 21.3% chance.
- Ford Expedition: 19.9% chance.
These figures are based on a large analysis of vehicle sales and longevity data collected between 2012 and 2022, highlighting the reliability of Japanese-built SUVs, particularly Toyota’s 3-row SUVs which dominate the list for long lifespan, with some capable of nearly 300,000 miles over their lifetime.
Thus, if prioritizing an SUV with the longest potential lifespan, the Toyota Land Cruiser and Sequoia are the best bets, followed closely by the Honda Pilot and Toyota 4Runner. These models are proven to sustain high mileage far beyond the average SUV.
