The Toyota Corolla was the ninth-most-popular used car in the United States in 2025, according to iSeeCars' data. This sturdy sedan also accounted for 1.5% of one-to-five-year-old used car sales in the country last year.

The Toyota Corolla moved up two spots on the list in 2025, after finishing 11th in 2024. Among used sedans, the Toyota Corolla was the third-most-popular in the United States last year and the most popular vehicle overall in the entire state of Florida.

Chevrolet Malibu

Average price: $16,188

This American sedan accounted for 1.5% of 2025's one-to-five-year-old used car sales, making it the eighth-most-popular car in the U.S.

The recently discontinued Chevrolet Malibu saw a tremendous surge in its popularity last year; it was only the 29th most popular used car in the United States in 2024.

According to iSeeCars, the Malibu's surge in popularity is likely due to car-rental companies selling off these models from their fleets in the wake of its cancellation last year.
