Listings also show a strong Toyota presence

Among online listings in Benin recorded on 8–9 August 2026, the RAV4 is the most frequently listed model, followed by the Camry and Highlander.

These are advertised cars, not completed sales. The same vehicle may also appear on several websites. This snapshot of supply complements our ranking without measuring demand.

How should you use this ranking?

The Corolla and RAV4 take the leading positions in our ranking. This does not prove that these cars sell faster or that the market needs more of them.

For sellers, a model’s position in the ranking may also reflect its presence in stock. For buyers, popularity does not replace checking a car’s condition, maintenance history and price.
