Hybrid vehicles have risen in popularity over the past year, and data recently released by iSeeCars.com shows conventional hybrids are the most heavily driven vehicles on the road.
The car search and research provider analyzed odometer readings of over 2.1 million 3-year-old cars sold in 2025, discovering that hybrids average 14,696 miles a year, 10% more mileage than gas vehicles and nearly 24% more than fully electric vehicles.
“Gasoline models still make up the majority of vehicles in the U.S., but these rankings suggest consumers who drive a lot have embraced the higher fuel efficiency of hybrids,” said iSeeCars Executive Analyst Karl Brauer.
Toyota holds the top three spots in the most-driven conventional hybrids list with the Sienna, Highlander Hybrid and Camry Hybrid. Models of its luxury Lexus line, meanwhile, are the least driven, the NX 350h, UX 250h and RX 450h/450hL having the lowest mileage.
The power train with the lowest overall annual mileage is plug-in hybrids. Crossovers and family-friendly vehicles dominate the category, the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid having the most mileage.
Family-friendly options also led the gas-powered category, the Chrysler Pacifica, Chrysler Voyager and Chevrolet Suburban in the top three spots.
“Eight of the top 10 most-driven gas vehicles are either a minivan or SUV, illustrating the high use rate and do-it-all nature of these people movers,” said Brauer.
On the flip side, sports cars and convertibles are the least-driven gas-powered vehicles, suggesting they're used more as “recreational, seasonal, or secondary vehicles rather than everyday transportation.”
While electric vehicles on average are driven fewer annual miles than gas vehicles, two Tesla models stand out with average mileage exceeding the overall gas-vehicle average: models 3 and Y. The least-driven EVs are mostly luxury and performance models, including the Audi RS e-tron GT and the Lucid Air.
