15 most reliable cars

Simplicity and reliability in Rapid operation are perfectly combined with an attractive price. So, a new car of this brand in the most affordable Active configuration can be purchased for less than 700 thousand rubles. In addition to cost-effectiveness, the car will also delight in maintenance - for this foreign car, the content is more than affordable. Judging by the numerous reviews, with timely routine maintenance, Skoda Rapid does not cause trouble for its owner on the road.

An inexpensive car is also in demand in the secondary market. For a used Rapid, you will have to pay about half a million rubles, and this is for the 2013 models with a mileage of up to 130 thousand km. A moderate price drop indicates the high practicality of this brand in everyday use. In three years, models that are more than 10 years old will appear on the market, but, apparently, you should not expect that they will be even more affordable. The Rapid has every chance to repeat the popularity of the Octavia, which at one time was considered the most popular car among foreign cars.

An exemplary budget model of the Korean auto industry, very fond of the domestic consumer.The Koreans did not resort to adapting Solaris to the roads of consumer countries, focusing on preparing an ideal passenger vehicle, primarily for sale within the country. Such a risky step was fully justified: on the one hand, the similarity of the climatic conditions of Russia and Korea affected, and on the other hand, the excellent quality of work of South Korean manufacturers.

The latest restyling of the Hyundai Solaris brought not only external changes to the model - special attention was paid to the individual safety of the driver and passengers in the event of a serious accident. The Koreans achieved the desired result in terms of reliability and appearance, which naturally affected the cost of the model. At the same time, the compliance of the suspension with the harsh operating conditions in Russia remained at a height, and this is not the last factor in traffic safety. The combination of these features of the car, the affordable cost of maintenance and economical consumption had a positive impact on the demand of the secondary market. Used Solaris is rightfully considered one of the most sought-after used brands - it will not be difficult to sell it even after 10 years of operation.

A popular car of this brand in Russia deservedly entered the rating of reliable cars. Inexpensive maintenance, economical consumption, suspension stability to our roads are not all the advantages of this car. The affordable cost of a new car (the basic equipment will be a little over 500 thousand rubles) and excellent build quality determine the choice of many car owners.

The popularity of LADA Vesta continues in the secondary market.At the same time, the price drop is not so significant - a used Vesta in excellent condition will cost the owner from 380 to 460 thousand rubles. And these are the very first cars that are more than 5 years old, with a mileage of under 100 thousand km! There is no better car to invest money in.

One of the clear contenders for leadership in the class of inexpensive but reliable cars. It's no secret that "Logan" was created in the framework of close cooperation between France, Japan and Russia. That is why the car is fully adapted for driving in the difficult road conditions of our country.

Progressive annual (or so) restyling allows you to introduce new "chips" into the Logan system, the presence of which is dictated by modern security requirements. The main attention is paid to the control of blind spots when driving and parking, but these are rather additional options. The main advantage of the car is the good old Nissan B platform - reliable and at the same time not too expensive to maintain. In the secondary market, a used Logan with moderate mileage (about 120 thousand km) will cost 270-330 thousand rubles. For a 10-year-old car that was used in Russia, it's not so bad.

The impeccability of German quality in this brand of car is preserved even after 10 years of operation.The reliability of the units and ease of maintenance can explain the huge popularity of the used Passat in the Russian secondary market. Comfortable and safe interior, economical engine and relatively inexpensive service made this car one of the most popular.

At the same time, price attractiveness also matters - the 2010 Volkswagen Passat. easy to get for less than half a million. Models with low mileage, as a rule, are more expensive, but they do not linger in the secondary market. At the same time, a serious difference in cost is determined in many respects by the ultra-modern filling of the car - the latest model of this brand is strikingly different from its ten-year-old predecessor. Many owners note the proximity of the new Passat to the premium class, talking about this car as the "little brother" of Audi.

Mazda 3 deservedly turned out to be among the most reliable cars. This sedan model from the popular Japanese brand was liked by many motorists in Russia. In its class, it is without a doubt the best choice. Judge for yourself - for 6 years of operation, there are less than 9 cases of unplanned breakdowns per 1000 cars.

The reliability of these cars with mileage does not decrease - the second-hand Mazda-3 is no less popular. Stylish appearance, economical engine and relatively inexpensive price determine the worthy position of this car in the secondary market - the car has a lot of serious advantages over other cars. On the market, for a model aged 10 years with moderate mileage (a little over 100 thousand km), they ask from 450 to 600 thousand rubles.Only low ground clearance can be considered a disadvantage, but this car was originally created for the city and highways.

Another "long-liver", the first appearance in Russia of which took place quite a long time ago. Over the past time, the Camry has fully adapted to the domestic market, having established itself not only as a good Japanese car with an impressive appearance, but also as a reliable, and, most importantly, safe transport. The adaptation of the Japanese to Russian realities took place gradually - the main breakthrough was made at the moment when the first factories for the mass production of this car were built in Russia.

Today, the 2020 Camry is equipped with the latest technology - the highest safety score according to the European association Euro NCAP and the American J. D. Power is not given just like that. Cars of this brand demonstrate the best margin of safety, due to which Toyota Camry is in serious demand in the secondary market. Even a long service life (10 or more years) keeps the cost of the car at a fairly high level. In Russia, to become the owner of a used Camry (2010), it will take from 650 to 900 thousand rubles, depending on the condition and mileage.

The undisputed leader in terms of reliability among urban crossovers in the middle price segment. The history of the car began quite a long time ago - at first, the Sportage was a rather hardy car, completely devoid of the concept of "style".Over time, the situation gradually changed, but the concept of a reliable means of transportation remained at the forefront.

Today, this car is the flagship among crossovers in the domestic market, which, perhaps, no true connoisseur of the combination of style, safety and proprietary reliability of Koreans would refuse to own. All the main characteristics of the car are preserved even after 10 years of operation in our conditions. In the secondary market, a ten-year-old Sportage costs from 800 thousand rubles to a million. This speaks best of all about the reliability of the brand and its popularity in Russia.

The Japanese concern Honda produces the CR-V SUV, which has gained serious popularity in Russia due to its resistance to breakdowns in domestic operating conditions. Highly appreciating the reliability of this car, the owners do not forget about its advantages such as comfort (high level of sound insulation), excellent capacity and serious equipment with driver and passenger safety systems.

And if someone can doubt the sincerity of Honda CR-V customer reviews in the secondary market, then the opinion of Consumer Reports and TUV expert centers has to be considered. According to their observations, with a run of up to 70 thousand km, only 7.3% of the tested cars had various breakdowns, and all the other cars did not cause any difficulties for the owners in operation. For this reason, used cars of this brand are in demand, despite the high cost of maintenance.

One of the most sought-after SUVs in the domestic market, the cross-country ability and survivability of which frankly delight motorists. It so happened that the first generation of "X-Trails" did not hit the Russian market, but the proximity to Japan still contributed to the spread of these cars, however, on a unit scale. The popularization of the SUV in the domestic market began with the second generation, which showed good cross-country ability both on the ground and on the sands, and in especially dirty, difficult areas (clay and saline soils).

Today, the Nissan X-Trail is a testament to survivability to look up to. The car is able to drive quietly for ten years without experiencing any serious problems with breakdowns and aging. This largely determines the strong demand of the secondary market. Even with mileage in Russia, used models aged 5-10 years do not lose their characteristics, remaining a reliable, safe and unpretentious car. Despite the fact that maintenance costs cannot be called economical, the demand from car owners does not decrease from this - the increased spending more than compensates for the operational advantages of this SUV.

The Germans have always been famous for the high quality of their creations, no matter what market segment and cost they belong to.Absolutely any car from the Volkswagen family could have been in the place of the Polo, since most of the specimens quietly live up to 15-20 years without experiencing any problems either in detail or in wear of body elements (corrosion is very rare).

As for this particular model, in the Polo one can note a good balance of fuel consumption and power - no frills, but quite a tolerable result. According to the reviews of many owners of this car, after ten years of running with a fairly moderate driving mode, there are no serious problems with maintenance and maintenance. Such reliability is also appreciated by the secondary market - there is a stable demand for a used Polo, and a careful owner will definitely not have problems with selling a car.

Occupation of the "Corolla" championship in this category was predetermined - the car has maintained its leadership position in terms of operational endurance for more than a dozen years. The model is popular all over the world, and Russia is no exception. We can meet cars of this brand with 25 years of mileage in use, and they behave on the road no less confidently than new models. Despite the limited choice of powertrains (only cars with a gasoline engine are officially supplied to our market), Toyota Corolla is the best choice for those who appreciate reliability and efficiency in a car.

Inexpensive maintenance, explained by the high resistance of the units to wear, remains the same for models that are more than 10 years old.In the secondary market, the demand for used Corolla is quite serious - cars that were in the hands of careful owners are literally in great demand.

The legends about the reliability of this car are not fiction, but the very truth. The ruler of an eastern country once said something along these lines: "There are two trouble-free things in the world - a Toyota Land Cruiser and a Kalashnikov assault rifle." Confirmation of the catchphrase can also be found in the Russian secondary market - the prices for a used Land Cruiser with mileage (in normal condition) are about 1.7-2.2 million rubles. At the same time, the car will be at least 10 years old, and on the speedometer there are numbers exceeding the mark of 140 thousand km. If the integrity of the body has not been violated, then traces of corrosion on its elements simply cannot be found.

Of course, in order for a car to retain its reliability and performance for such a long time, it must be “fed” like an Arabian horse - only with the best product. Timely service and quality consumables, and nothing else. Engines (especially gasoline) in this brand of car are very strong and nursed decently before overhaul. It’s impossible to call this car inexpensive and economical, but with the right attitude, it can surprise with its reliability for a very long time.

Gelenvagen is a luxury SUV, one of the most popular cars of our time.Its reliability is legendary, but to understand this, just look at the prices of the secondary market. A car of this brand, released 10 years ago, can be purchased in Russia for 2-3 million rubles! Only Bentley, Aston Martin and Ferrari are more expensive.

Despite the serious mileage and used condition, the owners are in no hurry to get rid of their cars, because. even operation in the vastness of Russia (and our conditions are more than difficult) could not weaken the endurance and reliability of the Gelika. To do this, however, it is necessary to comply with a mandatory condition - timely maintenance and routine maintenance. Seeing a breakdown on the Gelenvagen highway (a punctured wheel does not count) is like witnessing a UFO flight - an isolated case in tens of millions. The Mercedes-Benz G-Class gained particular fame thanks to the engine - it is so thought out to the smallest detail and well-assembled. In modern models of this brand, the units are equipped with a start / stop system and the ability to turn off the cylinders. This allows us to consider Gelenvagen not only the most reliable, but also the most economical premium class jeep.

One of the most reliable cars in the world, at the top of our rating, belongs to the famous Lexus brand. In Russia, it is interesting not only in car dealerships - the model is no less popular in the secondary market. As a rule, the main mileage of the RX is the highway and the city, they are operated carefully, serviced according to the regulations, so the second owner who bought the SUV after 10 years of use more than gets a margin of safety.

In addition, the car belongs to the category of status vehicles, and owning such a car, even a ten-year-old used one, is no less prestigious. At the same time, one must be prepared for the fact that the maintenance of a Lexus RX with high mileage can become “a pretty penny” - one should not expect any cost-effectiveness in terms of repairs. This does not affect demand at all - the car is in demand on the market due to the high reliability of components and the liquidity of the brand. It is worth noting that the costs of many owners for 5-10 years can be limited only to the replacement of consumables and service work on schedule.
