The Sedan Stayed

Ren runs up: the sedans are the oldest cars on the road now, about 14.1 years, older than the trucks. Granny Ume: everyone wanted a truck, so they say. Mio: and the sedans? Granny: the fashion moved on and the sedan stayed; pricier new cars and higher loan rates have aged the whole fleet from 10.4 years in 2008 to 13. Poko: Poko is a sedan.

America's oldest vehicles are its sedans: passenger cars average about 14.1 years, older than the SUVs and pickups buyers switched to, because the old sedans stayed on the road while new buying moved to trucks; the whole fleet has aged from 10.4 years in 2008 to 13, pushed by sharply higher new-car prices, higher loan rates and cars that last longer.
