These were the most popular new and used cars, trucks of 2021 in Seattle

The Seattle auto market in 2021 was unlike any other as the scarcity of microchips led to inventory constraints on new and used cars, historic used car price increases, and the disappearance of incentives and markups on new car MSRPs.

What vehicles were the most popular with Seattle drivers over the past year? A new report from iSeeCars, an online automobile search engine and research website, examined 17.4 million vehicle sales in 2021 to find out.

Surprisingly, no, the Subaru Outback didn’t rank first on the list. And what is perhaps even more surprising to subway drivers is that the report found that pickup trucks were the most popular new and used vehicles across the country and the most popular used vehicle in Seattle.

“The Ford F-150 has been America’s undisputed best-selling new car for over 40 years, and its popularity in new cars also makes it popular in the used car market,” said iSeeCars Executive Analyst Karl Brauer. “The limited inventory of new pickup trucks has led many consumers to purchase them used, and while pickup trucks are bestsellers, demand has still outpaced supply, resulting in dramatic increases in the price of used cars.”

While inventory and sales continued to be affected by the microchip shortage, the best-selling cars of 2021 were able to remain similar to those of 2020, says Brauer requirement.
