The 30 best used car, truck, SUV, and minivan deals for Black Friday 2020 are below. The results are from a survey of 1.8 million used cars currently listed for sale.
No. 30 - Ford Explorer (5.2% savings)
Ford redesigned the Explorer for the 2020 model year making it stronger, more capable, and more fuel efficient than before. It comes with a number of engine options, including the Explorer Hybrid model. The Explorer is roomy and easy to maneuver, but its infotainment system isn't as easy to use as other vehicles in its class. Last-generation Explorers are nearly as good as the fresh model.
No. 29 - Honda Civic (5.2% savings)
The Honda Civic remains a popular choice for buyers due to its numerous variations, from a competent daily driver to track-ready speedster. It's one of the few models on this list to come with an available manual transmission and coupe format.
No. 28 - Hyundai Tucson (5.2% savings)
The Hyundai Tucson is the company's top-selling model in the U.S. and it's easy to see why. The Tucson is a bit more upscale than the Santa Fe though it only has two rows of seating. Its good cargo space and easy-to-use tech are also highlights.
No. 27 - Subaru Outback (5.3% savings)

Subaru Outback owners love their Subarus. The new Outback offers a ton of modern technology, but the versions that were just as fundamentally good. A wagon is always a good choice for families, and the standard all-wheel drive on the Outback makes it an even better option.
No. 26 - Ford Escape (5.4% savings)
The Ford Escape was completely redesigned for the 2020 model year. It features a cavernous cargo area, spacious seating, and easy low-speed handling.

No. 25 - Toyota Camry (5.4% savings)
The Toyota Camry reigns supreme for American buyers and it's easy to see why. Its looks are (finally) anything but mundane. The Camry's interior is plush and comfortable, and it comes loaded with a hist of standard safety and driver assistance features.
No. 24 - Chevrolet Equinox (5.5% savings)

The Chevrolet Equinox is quite a good compact SUV. It competes against some heavy hitters in the industry, but stands as the top-selling non-truck model in Chevy's lineup. It comes with a long list of standard and available safety technology, a good amount of cargo space, and comfortable seats. The Equinox is easy to maneuver.
No. 23 - Chevrolet Traverse (5.6% savings)
The Chevrolet Traverse is a competent three-row SUV that is favored by many Americans. Chevy has made the vehicle capable, but it's not an off-roader by any stretch of the imagination. The Traverse is available in a number of flashy trim levels though it doesn't have as many available packages as the Colorado or Silverado.
No. 22 - Chevrolet Trax (5.6% savings)
The Chevrolet Trax is a city scooter that easily gets a driver around town. It is easy to maneuver on the road and park, and has an easy-to-use infotainment system. The Chevy isn't big on cargo space, seating, or power.

The Nissan Rogue is a few years past its prime, but that hasn't stopped it from being a formidable choice for buyers. Nissan has given the compact SUV comfortable seats, a modern-enough infotainment system, and fuel efficiency. It's equally at home in the city on on the highway.
No. 20 - Nissan Rogue Sport (5.7% savings)

Known as the Qashqai elsewhere, the Nissan Rogue Sport takes the best parts of the Rogue and moves them into a smaller package. The model most varies from its big brother when it comes to second-row legroom and rear cargo space. It's also less powerful.
No. 19 - Acura RDX (5.7% savings)
With its agile handling, plush and premium interior, and aggressive looks, the Acura RDX is a top-seller in its class. The fuel-efficient family car is loaded with approachable technology and the current generation comes standard with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
No. 18 - Subaru Crosstrek (5.8% savings)
The Crosstrek isn't the most powerful model in Subaru's lineup, nor is it the most modern. It is a formidable subcompact that hits the nail on the head for many practical shoppers. With standard all-wheel drive, engaging handling, and gobs of cargo space, the Crosstrek is worth a test drive.
No. 17 - Nissan Pathfinder (5.8% savings)
The three-row Nissan Pathfinder is a wallet-friendly SUV with a smooth powertrain, good looks, and comfortable seats. The model is ready for a makeover which means that most of the Pathfinders you'll see on used car dealer lots today will be like the ones on new car dealer lots.
No. 16 - Volkswagen Tiguan (5.8% savings)
The Volkswagen Tiguan spearheaded the company's resurgence in the U.S. market as it moved from slow-selling cars to faster-selling SUVs and tried to put Dieselgate in the rearview mirror. The Tiguan is a favorite of buyers for many of the same reasons the Pathfinder is. Unlike the Pathfinder, buyers can get the Tiguan in either a two- or three-row format.
No. 15 - Subaru Forester (5.9% savings)
Practical adventurers love the Subaru Forester for its on- and off-road prowess, engaging drive dynamics, and massive cargo space. The fact that it's one of the safest vehicles sold today doesn't hurt either. New for 2020, buyers get standard rear seat reminder and lane centering technology, which first appeared in the 2020 Outback, is available.
No. 14 - Dodge Journey (6.1% savings)

Dodge no longer makes the Journey, but for years it was a favorite for family travel. The models were frequently loaned out a rental car establishments. When it was new, the Journey was perhaps best known for being a cost-effective three-row SUV.
No. 13 - GMC Sierra 1500 (6.2% savings)
Reviewers generally agree that the GMC Sierra has a great exterior but that its interior is lacking the refinement expected at its price point. Still, it's an incredibly capable truck. The Sierra 1500 AT4 matches off-road prowess with on-road comfort and towing/hauling capability while the Denali is the company's top-tier model.
No. 12 (tie) - Nissan Murano (6.3% savings)
The Nissan Murano is nearing the end of its generational run, which means that it's nearly the same today as it was seven years ago when the model was introduced. That also means that it carries over many of the qualities that made it such a favorite with buyers - a strong powertrain, comfortable seats, and stylish looks.
No. 12 (tie) - Ford Fusion (6.3% savings)
American buyers can't quit the Ford Fusion though they're about to have to. The model's run is up as Ford moves on toward electrified models and plans for the future. That doesn't stop the Fusion from being a good car, complete with comfortable seats and a responsive infotainment system.
No. 10 - Nissan Altima (6.5% savings)
The Nissan Altima was completely redesigned for the 2019 model year and hasn't changed significantly since. Its looks are edgier and sharper than the previous generation, and it comes loaded with a long list of standard and available tech, making it more appealing to buyers. The Altima is still fuel efficient. Its previous generation was best known for comfortable seats and good fuel economy.
No. 9 - Dodge Grand Caravan (6.6% savings)

The Corolla was redesigned for the 2020 model year and is now upgraded to fit nicely into Toyota's modern lineup. It can come loaded to the gills with high-tech features but its less premium models still don't feel like too much of a compromise. The Toyota Corolla Hybrid is about as fuel efficient as the Prius. Models before 2020 were a little less premium and fuel efficient but are still a good buy with high predicted reliability.
No. 7 - Kia Soul (6.8% savings)
Kia completely redesigned the Soul for the 2020 model year giving it ... more soul. Its funky exterior carries over to the interior where buyers can choose to turn the fun up a notch with various packages and high-tech features. The 2020 Kia Soul GT-Line Turbo didn't win many hearts at AutomotiveMap, but the Soul's lower trim levels, powered by the standard non-turbo engine did. Its predecessor was well-equipped and reasonably well-received by critics when it was new.
No. 6 - Toyota Prius (7.0% savings)
The Toyota Prius family of vehicles represents a fuel-saving line of quirky cars that give eco-conscious shoppers an untraditional option. The Prius and Prius Prime have similar footprints.

No. 2 - Nissan Versa (8.9% savings)
The smallest car in Nissan's lineup underwent a makeover for the 2020 model year. Before that, it was a fleet special with a relatively low-rent cabin, good fuel economy, and a very basic exterior design. Since then, the Versa has gotten more horsepower, a far nicer interior, and been made stylish.
No. 1 - Chevrolet Bolt EV (10.1% savings)
