You wouldn’t know it from walking down the street though, with just a handful of models dominating sales. In fact, if you look at the most popular car in every individual state, there are only 10 different cars on the list.
How to find the most popular car in each state
As the average age of cars on America’s roads is 12 years, this methodology, a study of the cars being insured today, is more indicative of sales over the last decade rather than the last year.
The results are not at all surprising. Honda sedans are prevalent in the coastal states, while Ford’s F-Series Pickups dominate middle America.
All 10 cars have a sticker price well below the national average, suggesting affordability is also a major consideration.
The most popular car by state
Here are the full results from Insurify’s study. Are you surprised by the most popular car in your state?
Eagle-eyed readers might notice that Delaware appears twice on the list, with the Honda Accord and Nissan Altima tied for first place in ‘The First State.’
Which states have cheapest insurance?
Another reason for so few different models being the most popular car across individual states could be due to insurance costs.
As a result, a very reliable model, like a Honda or Ford, will be cheaper to insure. Popularity also helps bring down insurance costs, due to the relative ease of procuring replacement parts following an accident.
