20 cheapest car maintenance

Among the cars produced in Russia, it is impossible not to mention LADA XRAY. In addition to the fact that the car is offered at a fairly cheap price (we are talking about the minimum configuration), the model demonstrates unpretentiousness in maintenance. The cost of maintaining this car does not cause complaints from users - they are within comfortable limits, and practically correspond to the cost of servicing cars in this category.

So, the first six MOTs of a new car with a VAZ engine will come out at a total cost of about 42 thousand rubles (this is on the official service, ordinary service stations will come out even cheaper). Considering that some owners can spend 7-10 years on a run of 90 thousand, the figure is not so big.In addition, the quality of the new flagship of the domestic automotive industry cannot be compared with the classics - against their background, the XRAY looks like a completely reliable foreign car.

Another domestic car, which the owners consider to be quite economical and the most durable - these are the statements made by drivers who have been driving Grants for almost 5 years. This, of course, is not a foreign car, but the modern Lada model takes its accessibility and practicality, and it is on top of the car! The car has an economical fuel consumption (7.1 liters), and, as a rule, the absence of serious breakdowns - the parts are of high quality and take care of the time allotted for them before the replacement is due. Maintenance work is traditionally carried out every 15 thousand km (standard rates).

Spare parts please with cheap cost, and despite the fact that the machine is unpretentious in operation and very hardy. The engine resource, with proper and timely maintenance, allows you to easily roll back more than the 300 thousand km provided by the plant (of course, the nature of the operation also affects). High ground clearance and R14 (R15) wheels provide the efficiency of an energy-intensive suspension that demonstrates enviable durability.

Despite the French roots (this is practically the same Logan), let's pay tribute to the Lada nameplate on the body of this car, including it in the "Made in Russia" category. This practical station wagon can carry a lot of passengers and is the first assistant in the household.In addition, its average consumption does not exceed 8.2 l / 100 km, depending on the load. The prices for regular maintenance of the car do not differ much from other domestic cars (modern), and the interval for their implementation is the same - 15 thousand km. At the same time, the reliability and practicality of the car are in no way inferior to Renault products and are at a very high level.

Repair of "Lada Largus" is definitely cheaper than foreign cars. Even despite the fact that the car has a large capacity (and axle load, respectively), the ball joint costs only 720 rubles. The owners who operate the Largus to the fullest are satisfied with the car: it rarely breaks down, with a caring attitude it lasts a long time, does not require any special attention. And the presence on the market of everything necessary for maintaining the car from the owners finds only a positive response.

A robotic gearbox, a steering rack like that of a Nissan Qashqai - this is what a domestic car looks like today. Lada Vesta has been running on the roads of Russia for three years, and during this time it has managed to win the hearts of many drivers. It is recognized as safer than such foreign cars as Hyundai Solaris and Ford Focus. And much more practical to maintain.

Consumption per hundred is up to 8 liters. You can fill in the cheapest gasoline - the 92nd brand. The cost of rubber is a little high - the car uses R15 or R16, but it is more comfortable with them, and the suspension does not perceive the peculiarities of Russian roads so sharply. For spare parts, judge for yourself - the ball joint costs an average of 500 rubles, and a good rear shock absorber (Trialli) - 1450.The first maintenance of the car (carried out every 15,000 km) will cost the owner about 5,000 rubles. The second will come out a little more expensive due to the routine replacement of spark plugs, air filter, lubrication of door hinges, battery terminals, etc.

Reliable and unpretentious, Soul perfectly copes with the role of a family car. Many mistakenly consider it a crossover, but this is far from the case. Although the car does not have a reinforced suspension, the car copes with the roads in Russia perfectly. Among the Kia lineup, it was the Soul that became a member of the rating, although the Rio, the best-selling model, also had a lot of chances. However, a stiffer ride and good endurance of the constituent elements determined just such a choice.

The very first models may have problems with the catalyst. Kia service centers allowed the auto manufacturer to correct all the shortcomings in a short time. The owner of a new car can safely drive for 3-5 years without spending a penny on repairs. At the cost of regular maintenance - everything is very affordable, including consumables (even if you do not take the cheapest ones).Details such as shock absorbers will require the attention of the owner no earlier than after 130-140 thousand km. A set of front struts (South Korean Mando) will cost the owner of Kia Soul only 2500 rubles.

In the Russian automotive market, Hyundai Solaris is one of the most popular models. The reliability of the parts used, the high quality of the assembly, the level of comfort underlie the popularity. Fuel consumption is between 5.7 and 6.6 liters, depending on the engine displacement. Timely maintenance and routine maintenance has a positive effect on the durability of the car, allowing you to delay as much as possible such unpleasant events as an unplanned breakdown.

Service intervals are 15,000 km. The cost of work in service centers is considered by many to be overpriced, but before the expiration of the warranty period, the owners still prefer the official service. It is valid for 3 years or 100 thousand kilometers, and the obligations of the Hyundai concern for the engine and gearbox last for 5 years at all. With self-maintenance, the cost of operation is drastically reduced. Foreign car components are always in stock and are presented as cheap analogues, as well as the most expensive, original products.

This is an ordinary car, with a simple and reliable engine, but it entered the Guinness Book of Records as the best-selling car in history. More than 44 million cars have been sold throughout the existence of this brand.In Russia, Corolla is valued for practicality, moderate fuel consumption (depending on the engine, 11th generation models consume 5.6-6.6 l / 100 km), high build quality and reliable components.

The maintenance of this foreign car for the first ten years will be reduced to the banal replacement of consumables and routine maintenance (well, how could it be without them). The motors in the machine are reliable, with a long resource, a caring owner will please oh how long. With so many cars sold, spare parts are not uncommon, and they cost acceptable. The original ball joint will cost 1050 rubles. for a normal stabilizer bushing they ask from 200 to 800. The price tag is not the cheapest, but such Toyota Corolla suspension parts “go” decently, unlike other cars that did not find a place in our rating.

The popular Czech brand has created a good replacement for the Skoda Fabia by releasing the Rapid, which is no less thoughtful and cheap to maintain. Being of interest to most drivers in Russia with its affordable price, the car also earned 5 Euro NCAP stars in addition. The average fuel consumption is no more than 6 liters of gasoline per hundred (depending on the type of internal combustion engine, driving style, etc.).

Regular maintenance is inexpensive, consumables and components are always available. In operation, Rapid is simple and unpretentious, with a careful and scrupulous owner, you can do without breakdowns for a long time, more than five years - that's for sure. The prices for spare parts of a Czech foreign car are very affordable - a high-quality ball joint costs only 550-650 rubles.

One of the most popular models in Russia quite deservedly heads this category. Among passenger cars with low maintenance costs, Renault Logan is also the leader in terms of its cost. At the same time, a completely identical sedan model with increased ground clearance, named Stepway, no less successfully occupied its niche among budget pseudo crossovers. However, the stable demand for Renault Logan is caused by a completely different reason - you rarely see a car at a service, because it will not be difficult to change oil, filters or candles, and you still have to try to break the hodovka even on our roads.

Judge for yourself - for a run of about 140 thousand km, all maintenance costs will hardly exceed 120 thousand rubles (TO is carried out every 15 thousand km). With a moderate mileage, this amount will stretch for 6-8 years, no less. If you use it for work purposes (which happens most often), then the car will serve for 3-4 years with virtually no complaints. And after this period, Renault Logan will retain its attractiveness - popularity in the secondary market is a confirmation of this. The car is reliable, unpretentious, and, despite the harsh operating conditions in Russia, with careful attitude, it can surprise with its resistance to unplanned breakdowns. The high quality of components and the relatively affordable price of spare parts are additionally serious advantages of this car.

This popular SUV is practically devoid of flaws. Spacious and modern, it has proven itself in the harsh conditions of Russia. By purchasing a new car, the owner will provide himself with reliable protection against unplanned repair costs. For the next 10 years, all maintenance costs for the car will be reduced exclusively to routine maintenance, the purchase of tires and accessories. In any case, these are the reviews given to this car by its owners.

At the same time, no more than 6 thousand rubles will be required to replace the cabin filter elements and oil in the Nissan X-Trail engine - the price tag is quite acceptable for a serious foreign car. Maintenance is carried out after 15 thousand kilometers (or once a year). In addition, if you do not buy the cheapest consumables (there is definitely no benefit in saving), the X-Trail will fully meet the owner's expectations.

This legendary SUV manifests itself in two ways: on the one hand, low maintenance costs and cheap components, on the other, a rather high fuel consumption (from 10 to 16 liters of AI-92). Given the high cross-country ability and low level of comfort, multiplied by low-speed, most likely, few people will go on a long journey (say, to the Crimea) on this car, but resisting the impassability of the Russian hinterland is the very thing. It is also perfect for fishing or hunting trips - usually the length of such trips is 100-150 km, no more.

The engine is very reliable, capable of a long and trouble-free service until overhaul.Traditional minor flaws in a new car are a given for the domestic automotive industry, and you can’t do without them. Many owners cannot stand it - they break into a total tuning of everything and everything, trying to improve the comfort of the car. But this, as a rule, is more indicative of an initially wrong choice, because in those Spartan conditions for which this car is designed (and it is definitely not for city trips), all this does not matter.

Many car owners in Russia consider it a female car (due to its compact size), but this is an unfounded stereotype. The frame SUV of the popular Japanese concern has a huge advantage over other models - it is very compact, which means that its weight is lighter (about a ton). This factor, as well as a 1.5-liter engine and a manual transmission (there are models with automatic transmission) determines its fuel consumption, which ranges from 6 to 10 liters, depending on the conditions and nature of operation. And this is with constant all-wheel drive!

A reliable power unit, Japanese components, a sufficient level of comfort - everything meets the expectations in terms of quality. The car is unpretentious and hardy, in caring hands it is able to serve for 8-10 years without any serious breakdowns (when performing routine replacements of parts that have expired their resource, and not on the principle of "break - change"). High reliability and light weight determine the large safety margin of the suspension.In addition, thanks to the smallest wheel size among jeeps (R 15), JIMNY's maintenance can be clearly seen as economical. Spare parts for this foreign car are not sold on every corner (albeit small, but Japanese), but everything is there. Original parts have an acceptable price, and if you wish, you can always pick up a cheaper analogue.

For more than forty years on the market, the owner of world fame as the most affordable and reliable vehicle with high cross-country ability - VAZ 2121 NIVA has become the undisputed leader in the rating in the SUV category. The peculiarity of this car is that in Russia, on the Niva, few people turn to an official dealer for after-sales service, preferring to carry out all routine procedures on their own. Yes, and how to go to a branded service station, when the design of the car is so simple (and, therefore, very reliable) that the hands themselves literally reach out to take and twist something in it.

Spare parts on the market - the sea, for every taste and budget. High-quality front pads will cost 400 rubles, and a ball joint - 220. This is one of the cheapest and most unpretentious cars to maintain, which is not picky about consumables and fuel quality, while differing in enviable endurance.

A lot of controversy has been caused over which category the model belongs to. After weighing the pros and cons, we will proceed from the fact that this is a crossover with the ability of an SUV. Chevrolet Niva is the second most popular SUV in the Russian market. The car consumes an average of 11 liters in the city and 9 on the highway - this is a good indicator for a domestic car. Maintenance does not represent any special financial burden - everything can be done by hand, except for computer diagnostics.

Spare parts are available, a large selection of manufacturers and prices, although the frankly cheap segment is best used only in the most cramped circumstances. So, decent TRW brake pads will cost 600-650 rubles, and a PILENGA front wheel bearing (good quality) will cost only 250 rubles.

Outwardly elegant, with an unusual design due to the perforated bumper insert (in front, the Kodiak resembles a grinning whale), this crossover impresses with its efficiency. Only 6 liters of gasoline per 100 km - not every small car is capable of this. In addition to external advantages and a fairly spacious and comfortable interior, Skoda Kodiaq, however, like all modern cars of this brand, is distinguished by the reliability of components and build quality. This allows us to talk about a serious margin of safety, which allows you to operate the car for a long time without any repair costs.

The current maintenance of this foreign car in any service center in Russia is relatively inexpensive - the price may vary from the selected manufacturer of oil and filters. Of course, there is no reason to purchase the cheapest consumables, because.it can remind you of itself pretty quickly. And the cost of spare parts is quite democratic. Judge for yourself: a water pump costs 1900 rubles, a branded timing belt - 1040 rubles. Brembo front pads will come out at 3200, and the original ball joint (which will be needed not so soon) - 3600 rubles.

This is one of the most popular crossovers in Russia. Its diesel installation (1.6 l) consumes about 5 liters of fuel. Gasoline engines of this car are no less economical - from 6.9 to 7.7 liters, depending on the type of engine. Maintenance of a Nissan Qashqai car for quite a long time will be reduced to regular service maintenance and routine maintenance to replace one or another part.

The car is very reliable (for which it is most valued), which means that there should be no unforeseen expenses for repairs with a caring attitude. Parts prices are reasonable. So, the front ball joint from Delphi costs 1150 rubles, and MILES can be purchased for only 400. A set of consumables such as brake pads (CTR) will cost the owner 1200 rubles. Not the cheapest cost, but for a reliable foreign car of this class, it’s very good.

One of the bestsellers in the world car market, having appeared in 1994 as the Recreation Active Vehicle, it still retains its popularity today. In the urban cycle, this legendary crossover consumes only 7.7 liters of AI-95, on the highway - 6.4.As befits the machines of this manufacturer, the RAV-4 is made soundly, using high-quality and reliable materials. This determines its economical operation, despite the fact that the car has its weaknesses. However, they rarely appear, and the owners almost never complain, but only praise their car.

Maintenance of the new TOYOTA RAV4 for a long time will come down to visiting a service center every 10 thousand km (with aggressive operation, it is better to reduce this interval to 6,000). The fuel filter is subject to a scheduled replacement for 8 MOTs, and the installation of new spark plugs awaits the owner at 100,000 km. With the accuracy and attentiveness of the driver, this car will last for a long time, and the cost of maintenance from an official representative (on average - up to 10 thousand rubles) can be significantly saved by visiting a service with cheaper prices.

Domestic minibus for difficult road conditions. Despite its hopelessly and obsolete design, it is still sold in Russia. This is the only domestic minibus with the characteristics of an all-wheel drive SUV, which is currently on the market.Despite the fact that the car body has not changed at all since 1965, the power units could not resist evolution and are modern and hardy examples of domestic technology, with a large margin of safety.

This is not a foreign car, and it is not customary to talk about any comfort in the UAZ 2206 - here it is exclusively Spartan practicality (spring suspension front and rear). Maintenance is carried out, as a rule, independently - the machine is simple, unpretentious, and it does not require special conditions. Spare parts are inexpensive and always available. With a good owner, who eliminates shortcomings in time (cheap components cannot provide the desired quality), the car will never let you down.

This is one of the most profitable minibuses to maintain, was awarded the "Van of the Year" nomination and earned 5 Euro NCAP safety stars (in 2012). Despite its size, the car consumes fuel very economically: in the city - up to 10 liters, on the highway - 8.5. This is just the beginning of the advantages of the car. The engine is reliable, and is able to drive more than half a million kilometers without major repairs. The rear suspension is spring, and if it is not overloaded, it will go indefinitely. R15 rims can be fitted to optimize maintenance costs (R17 can also be used but is more expensive).

The maintenance of the Ford Tourneo Custom is cheaper than other foreign cars in this category. The frequency of the interval between scheduled maintenance is 15 thousand km.Subject to the rules of operation, timely replacement of consumables and parts with an expired resource, the machine does not cause any trouble at all. If there can be breakdowns, then some insignificant little things, no more.

The most common and popular car in Russia in this category. Despite a lot of shortcomings, drivers who have to deal with them every day speak more than positively about them, using such epithets as “hard worker”, “nurse”, etc. Such a caring attitude demonstrates the reliability, endurance and unpretentiousness of the car. These qualities, which play an important role in the conditions of our roads, have helped the owners more than once.

The availability of consumables and spare parts is also highly appreciated. We can say with confidence that the widest assortment is presented on the market for this model, and the owners of Gazelles are not familiar with such a phenomenon as a shortage. This is not a foreign car, and the prices for components are so cheap that it makes no sense to get upset in case of a breakdown. So, the gas-oil shock absorber of the German company HOFER costs about 900 rubles. The front brake pads will cost about the same price. It turns out that a minibus in service is no more expensive than a domestic passenger car.
