The Ford Escape has long been not only a popular choice for new vehicle shoppers, but also those in the used market as well. In fact, the crossover has made an appearance on the iSeeCars’ annual list of the most popular used vehicles in the U.S., including 2023. Now that the 2024 version of this same report has been released, it reveals that the Ford Escape was once again a popular target among used vehicle shoppers across the U.S. in 2024, too.
According to iSeeCars’ list of the top 100 most popular used vehicles of 2024, the Ford Escape ranked 15th by accounting for 1.2 percent of all used vehicle sales last year in the U.S. That places the Ford Escape behind the the first-place Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado, Ram 1500, Chevy Equinox, Toyota Camry, Toyota Tacoma, Nissan Rogue, the Ford Explorer, Toyota RAV4, Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, Honda CR-V, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and Nissan Altima.
To come up with these rankings, iSeeCars analyzed over 7.7 million used car sales from the last five model years (2019-2023) in 2024. Each model’s share of used car sales was calculated nationally, as well as within each metro area and state. Heavy-duty vehicles were excluded from the analysis. As Ford Authority previously reported, the Ford Escape also made the cut on Carvana’s list of the best-selling used vehicles of 2024, too. The crossover ranked fourth on the list this time around, behind only the Tesla Model 3, Chevy Equinox, and Nissan Rogue. The Ford Escape also beat out the Ford Explorer, Toyota Camry, Honda Civic, Nissan Altima, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and Ford F-150 SuperCrew to round out that particular list.
The Ford Escape has long ranked on more than one list of the most popular used vehicles on the market, dating back to 2022, when the crossover landed on iSeeCars’ list in ninth place – behind only the Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado, Ram 1500, Chevy Equinox, Honda Civic, Toyota Camry, Toyota RAV4, and Nissan Rogue. It fell to 13th among all used models on the same list in 2023, and then wound up on Consumer Reports’ most popular used vehicles list for the fall of 2024, too.

Popularity among used vehicles means diddly squat. Has to do with availability, which is then tied into popularity of when they were new. Lots of sites are getting off on this statistic and it means nothing. New popularity does.
