Autotrader names 10 Best Used Cars of 2021

No matter if your dealership customers are looking for a practical crossover, a rugged pickup truck, a fun performance car or anything in between, Autotrader thinks the current used market still has excellent options despite the industry turmoil over microchips and high wholesale prices.
To help your potential buyers find that perfect match, Autotrader named the 10 Best Used Cars of 2021 that are great alternatives to buying a new vehicle.
Autotrader executive editor Brian Moody explained through a news release distributed on Monday that there’s a used car, truck or SUV out there for everyone — even if they have to look a little harder than usual in the current marketplace.
“Finding the right used car can be challenging — not only are some models in short supply, but the average age of a used car on the road today is about 12 years old,” Moody said. “A lot has changed in terms of performance, technology and safety in those 12 years. Savvy shoppers can use Autotrader’s Best Used Cars list as a way to start the research process.”
Autotrader put together a list of the best used vehicles of the year based on previous “Best New Car” winners, as well as vehicles from the list of Best Electric Cars for 2021.
Autotrader editors narrowed them down based on value and popularity, while also factoring in brands with good certified pre-owned (CPO) programs.
