What is the most reliable car in the world. The most reliable cars on the secondary market

Despite not the most best reviews about the domestic auto industry (often quite objective) in our country there are still quite a few lovers of Russian cars, and the fact that more than a third of those sold cars accounted for by the domestic manufacturer - proof of this. Still more affordable price and relatively expensive repairs and the service does the trick. Again, sanctions and the general crisis in the country have significantly raised prices for spare parts for foreign cars. So in soon, in spite of everything, one should not expect a decrease in demand for the domestic auto industry (as sales statistics show). Therefore, we decided to compile the following rating of the best Russian cars , for which we selected the 10 most popular cars among Russians and summarized the data on them (ratings and reviews) on the country's leading car portals. If you want to know which cars in Russia are the best, most reliable, most comfortable, most in demand, the most beautiful and the most “stuffed”, what are their advantages and disadvantages - then you are here ...

10th place: Lada 4×4 (Niva)

69 out of 100 points

In 10th place, we can say the legendary, indispensable for any summer resident, hunter and fisherman car - VAZ-2121 "Niva" . Designed and launched back in the distant 80s, a car with permanent all-wheel drive, a high ground clearance of 22 cm and small body overhangs, which together provide excellent cross, quickly found its fans not only in our country, but also abroad. Moreover, it is this car that is essentially considered the progenitor of the class of compact SUVs that are so popular in our time. Our SUV, on the other hand, is distinguished by its low price, unpretentiousness in operation and repair, minimal equipment (the motto is “only the most necessary”). With a 4-speed engine with a volume of 1.6 liters and a power of 80 hp. Tagliatinskaya "Niva" picks up speed of 100 km / h in 17 seconds, while its maximum speed according to the passport is 142 km / h.

Advantages of Lada 4x4:

• Patency. Machine for Russian roads.

• Reliability.

• Liquidity.

• Controllability. Good handling both on the track and off-road.

• Service cost. Inexpensive to operate and repair.

Disadvantages of Lada 4x4:

• Dynamics. Weak engine- hence the weak acceleration.

• Profitability. Big expense fuel.

• Noise isolation. As such, there is no sound insulation - the cabin is noisy.

• Build quality. Poor build quality and materials used.

• Paint quality. Bad coverage, rusts quickly.

It should also be noted here that the more advanced Lada 4x4 Urban, which has been produced since 2014, looks more cheerful and is better equipped: there is air conditioning, as well as heating and electric side mirrors. Reviews for this car are much better, and in our ranking it would take a place closer to the middle.

Lada price 4x4 (3 doors) at the beginning of 2016: from 465,700 rubles. up to 493,200 rubles.

Price Lada 4x4 (5 doors) at the beginning of 2016: from 506,700 rubles. up to 514,200 rubles.

In 2015, more than 35,000 new Lada 4 × 4 cars were sold in Russia - this is the 4th place among Russian models and 9th place among all car models.

9th place: Chevrolet Niva

70 out of 100 points

In 9th place we have - “ Chevrolet Niva”, which is essentially a “daughter” of the VAZ Niva, but in fact it has not gone so far from it (as they say “an apple from an apple tree ...”). Despite the fact that Italian designers worked on the appearance of this car, and in 2002 Niva passed to the General Motors concern, some of its shortcomings remained from its “mother”, but some of it acquired itself. Although, of course, she has acquired many advantages, mainly related to improved comfort. These are the power steering, power windows, alarm and other trifles available in the basic configuration. Again, do not forget about the full-fledged five-door body.

If we compare the VAZ and General Motor Niva, then both have good cross-country ability and reliability (of course, by the standards of Russian cars), only Lada 4x4 is less expensive and less comfortable compared to Chevrolet. Which of these cars is better, is it worth overpaying for a car by 20% more and do you need this comfort, if you are already used to harsh Russian fishing or hunting - it's up to you ...

Advantages of the Chevrolet Niva:

• Patency. Machine for Russian roads.

• Reliability. Reliable car - usually does not fail.

• Liquidity. Good value for money.

• Controllability.

• Salon. Sufficiently spacious interior.

• Microclimate. And the stove heats well, and the air conditioner decides.

Disadvantages of the Chevrolet Niva:

• Dynamics. They say that the dynamics are even worse than those of the Lada 4x4.

• Noise isolation. Rumble at high speed.

• Build quality. Not the best build quality and materials used.

• Trunk. Small trunk.

8th place: Lada Kalina

72 out of 100 points

We got 8th place "Lada Kalina" - you can say "cinderella" domestic auto industry". Kalina, which began production in 2004, went through many ups and downs: at first (as always) the new car that came out seemed raw, AvtoVAZ even had to recall some batches of these cars from time to time. Kalina was positioned as a workhorse: a simple, unpretentious, convenient and cheap car to operate, and in the end it began to be perceived by the Russians, which confirmed the first place in sales in Russia in 2011.

In the wake of this success, VAZ decided to make a significant modernization of the Lada Kalina, and in 2013 the “second generation” model was released - “Cinderella” tried on new shoes. And, I must say, she liked them - new engine, new box gears, improved suspension, again improved design and comfort level - all this turned Kalina, if not into the “most desirable” car, then into a completely interesting, dynamic and pleasant car to drive and operate. Spacious interior, high ground clearance, low fuel consumption, value for money - all this also makes Kalina one of the best and most reliable, as well as one of the closest to Russian realities by car.

Advantages of Lada Kalina:

• Salon. Despite the apparent diminutiveness, the interior is quite spacious.

• Reliability. Quite to yourself reliable car.

• Liquidity. Good value for money.

• Controllability. Holds the road well.

• Fuel consumption. Moderate fuel consumption (on the highway -6l / 100km, in the city - 8-9l / 100km).

• Patency. Big ground clearance.

Disadvantages of Lada Kalina:

• Noise isolation. Very poor soundproofing.

• Build quality.

• Additional compartments. Small glovebox. Lack of all kinds of drawers and shelves for things.

The price of Lada Kalina at the beginning of 2016: from 415,000 rubles. up to 564,000 rubles.

Sales statistics of Lada Kalina in Russia in 2015.

7th place: Lada Priora

74 out of 100 points

Our 7th place is occupied by “ Lada Priora" , which is essentially a restyled model of the usual "tens". Nevertheless, during its creation and development, many errors and diseases characteristic of the tenth model were “cured”. In addition, Priora received a more interesting and aesthetically pleasing appearance and a richer and comfortable interior: soundproofing was improved, better upholstery and more pleasant so-called “soft” plastic began to be used.

A 98-horsepower engine can accelerate our Priora to 100 km / h in 11.5 seconds. The maximum speed is 183 km/h. At the same time, fuel consumption is quite moderate - 7.2 liters per 100 km. In general, if “raw” cars about AvtoVAZ scare you, then you should take a closer look at the Lada Priora, as a car whose development has already been almost 20 years old and to which the definition “brought to mind” can be attributed to some extent.

Advantages of Lada Priora:

• Service cost. Cheap parts and, as a result, inexpensive to operate.

• Reliability. Reliable car - usually does not fail.

• Dynamics. Pretty good dynamics.

• Controllability. Excellent handling.

• Salon. Sufficiently spacious interior.

• Fuel consumption. Acceptable fuel consumption.

Disadvantages of Lada Priora:

• Noise isolation. Bad soundproofing.

• Build quality. Not the best build quality and materials used. Squeaks and rattles have a place to be.

• Paint quality. Unstable paint.

• Transmission. Not the clearest operation of the gearbox.

The price of Lada Priora at the beginning of 2016: from 389,000 rubles. up to 464,000 rubles.

Sales statistics of Lada Priora in Russia in 2015.

In 2015, more than 28,000 new Lada Priora cars were sold in Russia - this is the 6th place among Russian models and the 13th place among all car models.

6th place: Lada Granta

73 out of 100 points

Ranked 6th "Lada Granta" in essence, it is positioned as a budget car, which, in principle, is justified to some extent - having received a more modern layout and reaching a more high level security, Granta remains one of the most available cars on Russian market. It was this car that in 2011 replaced all by that time obsolete VAZ cars: “Samara” and “classic”, and in the future it was supposed to displace (replace) the Kalin family, on the basis of which Grant was actually developed.

If appearance Grants can be safely called tasteless, but in terms of the distribution of internal space, the car came out very even nothing - the interior turned out to be very spacious and to some extent comfortable, and the trunk is very roomy. In the “Standard” configuration, the Grant is equipped with electric power steering, front power windows and on-board computer. In the luxury configuration, the car gets a very good level of equipment for Russia: air conditioning, heated front seats, alloy wheels, mirrors with heating and electric drive.

By the way, in 2015, Lada Granta became the best-selling car in Russia - AvtoVAZ sold more than 120,000 new cars.

Advantages of Lada Grant:

• Salon. Salon is spacious enough.

• Reliability.

• Liquidity. Good value for money.

• Controllability. Holds the road well.

• Fuel consumption. Moderate fuel consumption.

• Dynamics. Enough frisky car.

• Trunk. Big trunk.

Sales statistics of Lada Granta in Russia in 2015.

In 2015, more than 120,000 new Lada Granta cars were sold in Russia - this is the 1st place among all car models sold in Russia.

5th place: UAZ Patriot

75 out of 100 points

If you like larger and more solid cars, then you are in 5th place in our rating. Here we have "UAZ Patriot" - our full-fledged SUV, which is somehow hard to call budget, nevertheless, compared even with the “inexpensive” Chinese “GreatWall” (from 850 thousand rubles) and Korean “SsangYong” (from almost 1 million rubles), it is quite can be called more accessible. And if you take into account the fact that by handing over an old car under the recycling program, you can achieve a discount of 90,000 rubles, and when buying on credit, you can add a discount of another 50,000 rubles here, then the price for the initial configuration is only around 640,000 rubles . But first things first.

Released in 2005, the UAZ Patriot replaced the UAZ Simbir, which can be considered our first a full-fledged SUV(similar to foreign analogues, and not to army all-terrain vehicles). At the same time, the Patriot received a spacious five-seat interior and a very roomy trunk, in which, if necessary, 4 more seats can be installed. The rear seats can also be converted for ease of transport. oversized cargo(volume luggage compartment increases to 2500l.).

During all this time, the UAZ Patriot has been repeatedly restyled, which, on the one hand, gradually relieved it of numerous “sores”, and, on the other hand, increased the level of comfort, safety and aesthetics. Released in 2015 updated Patriot offered with air conditioning, parking sensors, heated front and rear seats, heated windshield, with multimedia and navigation system. Any of the configurations is possible with 2 engines to choose from: a 135-horsepower 2.7-liter petrol injection or a 113-horsepower 2.2-liter diesel. Both engines are quite frisky - up to 100 km can be accelerated in 11-12 seconds. Fuel consumption can also be said to be moderate - 11-12 liters per 100 km.

In general, if you are not afraid of our cars with their not always high-quality assembly and it is not known where the “sores” come out from, you are limited in funds, but you want a solid and “towering above all” car, then the UAZ Patriot is quite a good option.

Advantages of UAZ Patriot:

• Patency. Great ground clearance. High permeability.

• Salon. Very spacious interior.

• Liquidity. Fairly good value for money.

• Controllability. Excellent handling both on the track and off-road.

• Trunk. Just a huge trunk.

• Reliability. To some extent a reliable car.

Disadvantages of UAZ Patriot:

• Paint quality. Not always good paintwork.

• Build quality. The build quality and materials used sometimes leave much to be desired.

UAZ Patriot price at the beginning of 2016: from 779,000 rubles. up to 1,099,000 rubles

UAZ Patriot sales statistics in Russia in 2015.

In 2015, almost 20,000 new UAZ Patriot vehicles were sold in Russia, which is 7th place among Russian models and 21st place among all car models.

4th place: Lada Largus

77 out of 100 points

In 4th place, we also have a monopoly to some extent - practically the only budget station wagon in Russia "Lada Largus" . A car that appeared not so long ago (in 2012), which is essentially a copy of Dacia Logan MCV, immediately found its fans, who were attracted to Largus by its versatility and versatility. At the same time, AvtoVAZ offers 5 different options versions: 5-seater and 7-seater ordinary station wagons, 5-seater and 7-seater station wagons Largus Cross with increased (by 25 mm) ground clearance, as well as Largus van, that is, you can choose a car specifically for your purposes.

In terms of equipment and design, Lada Largus does not stand out in any way, nevertheless, a nondescript car in appearance is unpretentious in operation and very practical in use. A 102-horsepower engine is usually enough (if you don’t load the car “to the very tomatoes”), and the increased base and soft suspension add to the car controllability and comfort in motion.

Advantages of Lada Largus:

• Salon. Very spacious interior.

• Reliability. Reliable car - usually does not fail.

• Liquidity. Like it or not - one of the cheapest station wagons.

• Suspension. Very soft and “indestructible” suspension.

• Trunk. Big trunk.

Disadvantages of Lada Largus:

• Dynamics. The engine is rather weak - the loaded car is barely moving.

• Profitability. Weak fuel consumption.

• Noise isolation. As always, not great.

The price of Lada Largus (station wagon 5 seats) at the beginning of 2016: from 524,000 rubles. up to 634,000 rubles.

Sales statistics of Lada Largus in Russia in 2015.

In 2015, almost 39,000 new Lada Largus cars were sold in Russia - this is the 2nd place among Russian models and the 7th place among all car models.

3rd place: Lada Vesta

78 out of 100 points

The prize three is opened by a brand new recently released "Lada Vesta" . If we were to rank the most beautiful Russian cars, then the new AvtoVAZ would confidently take first place, but we have a rating of the best, and here, despite the fact that Vesta offers the most advanced set of functions in Russia, there are still a lot of questions.

The assembly of Vesta takes place in the city of Izhevsk at the Lada Izhevsk plant (formerly Izh-Avto), and the chassis, engine, gearbox and some other parts are delivered there from Tolyat. In the first six months from the moment 1 car left the assembly line (September 25, 2015), 15,000 cars have already been produced.

Lada Vesta is equipped with a 106-horsepower 1.6-liter gasoline engine, which allows it to accelerate to 100 km / h in 11.8 seconds. and achieve top speed at 178 km/h. In the near future, it is planned to give the novelty another 1.6-liter 114-horsepower engine produced by the Renault-Nissan automaker.

We bring to your attention an article in which you will find the following information on Lada Vesta: the most detailed analysis, specifications, equipment and prices, advantages and disadvantages, owner reviews, differences between mechanics and a “robot”, sales statistics, crash test results, pros and cons when buying Vesta, and much more.

In Lada Vesta, even the most basic equipment (Classic for 529 thousand rubles) pleases with good equipment:

• electric power steering
• front power windows
• electric drive and electric heating of exterior mirrors
• heated front seats
• two airbags
• function of automatic locking of doors when driving
• central locking
• Daytime Running Lights
• stability control and ABS

The Comfort package already includes air conditioning, parking sensors and an audio system. The top-end configuration is equipped with light and rain sensors, a heated windshield, a rear-view camera, a multimedia and navigation system, and alloy wheels.

On all trim levels (except the base one), it is possible to change the manual transmission from Nissan to robotic box gear from Tagliati. Issue price - 25,000 rubles.

Once again, I note that the car is new and still quite "raw", so there are not so many reviews and ratings on it yet, because in the near future its rating can both rise and fall. But I would like to hope that such a good-looking and conceived device will ultimately meet our expectations.

Advantages of Lada Vesta:

• Salon. Spacious and comfortable interior.

In a society of disposable phones, cars, people, few people know what a good car is. An iron friend becomes a consumable that you need to buy on time and get rid of in time, about five years later. In this rating there are only cars with a soul, character, albeit sometimes with a bad one. At the same time, their cost is not particularly high now, any car from this list can be bought for relatively little money. We are talking about sedans of different classes, but they are united by reliability, popularity among the people and other features. We present you the top best cars and so we went.

Top 15 most desired cars

Ford Crown Victoria

Fifteenth place there is a car from the USA - Ford Crown Victoria. Honestly, I have never driven an American car, I could be wrong - I stupidly state from the words of friends who had such an apparatus, they say - a demonic car, reliable and trouble-free, more than five meters, 4628 cm3 - engine size. Most of the owners of this car have never lifted the hood, because it is too heavy, and what is there to watch - it goes and goes.

And this is an indicator, taking into account the fact that this model was produced back in the early 90s, it is a cool, stylish, powerful “car” from youth. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to find a “live” copy on the used car market.

at number two we have a Markovnik, "Samurai", he is also a teapot, he is also a "Cross" - this machine gave rise to entire subcultural currents of mark-like ones. It's not a car, it's a sexual orientation. I would call it a work of art, the pinnacle of engineering. Perhaps this is one of the best cars in history, but in the first place - unkillable cast iron on wheels, the most underestimated car of our time -.

They were made from the mid-70s - 80s, they can withstand the hit of a tank shell. It is almost impossible to break this car - it goes even when it should no longer go. Mercedes 123 can now be found cheaper than Zhiguli, and he enjoys incredible respect on the road - this is just the case when you can say about the forty-year-old Mercedes 123 that it will go more than any new car.

Top 15 Most Reliable Used Cars

Not every car enthusiast can afford to buy new car, and after a few years of operation, until he, as they say, began to “crumble”, get rid of him. That is why many are interested in which car is the most indestructible and durable. It's one thing to change consumables, without it, nowhere, no matter how unpretentious the car is, but quite another serious damage due to the wear of spare parts, the development of their resource.

We will try to compile a kind of rating of the most unpretentious, indestructible, durable cars, based on publicly available statistics and surveys of car owners. And since domestic and foreign ratings differ, we will consider each of them separately.

The most durable cars according to domestic users

On the second he confidently settled down Volkswagen Polo. The German auto industry is generally in high demand among domestic motorists, being considered an unpretentious and durable vehicle. They rarely break down, and the cost of spare parts is almost the same as for our VAZs.

Kia Rio- Korean middle class, took an honorable third place in the ranking of the most indestructible cars. For a reasonable price, the owner gets a very reliable vehicle.

European rating of good cars

The most indestructible cars, according to Europeans, are different from ours. In the first place is Toyota Camry, which almost never breaks down, and therefore is very much appreciated by foreign buyers. Even a used copy is considered a bargain.

Audi A4 rightfully takes second place, with its most indestructible suspension. The price, of course, bites, but this machine is definitely worth its money, and it will definitely work it out. Therefore, if you have the necessary amount to buy an Audi, you can take it without hesitation.

The third place was shared between Volvo and Mercedes-Benz, and not some specific models, but all the cars of these automakers. Although it must be confessed, the maintenance of these prestigious cars is expensive.

The worst cars

General opinion

Well, since we touched on the topic of reliability, it would be quite appropriate to mention the worst, often breaking cars. Here we will also operate with publicly available information, and do not pretend that everything published is true. Below we provide a list of the most broken cars, frequent visitors to car services and service stations.

The first place in the list of the most breaking cars is occupied by the British Rover SityRover. The careless build quality of this brand quickly made itself felt, which led not only to the disappearance of this car from car dealerships, but also to the complete collapse of the manufacturer itself. To date, such a company as the Rover company does not exist.

No matter how strange it may sound, but the next on the list is notorious in our country Honda car Civic 2012. We consider this car reliable and economical, while Western experts unanimously assert that it cannot be worse. Terrible handling, poor noise insulation and interior trim, led this model to second place in the list of the least reliable cars.

Dodge Grand Caravan earned notoriety thanks to frequent breakdowns electricians, poor handling, and poor quality interior assembly.

TUV List (International Expert Organization)

But besides the opinion of the people, there are also expert ones, for example, from such organizations as the German ADAC and TUV.

The TUV list is as follows:

• Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara
• Hummer H3
• Jeep Liberty Sport
• Chevrolet Aveo LS
• Dodge Nitro SLT
• Toyota FJ Cruiser
• Toyota Yaris
• Suzuki Forenza
• Jeep Patriot Limited
• Chevrolet Trail Blazer LT

Whether to trust the opinion of the organization, whose direct duties include technical inspection of cars, everyone decides for himself, but in the automotive world, the opinion of these experts is taken into account.

ADAC (German Automobile Club)

The ADAC automobile club has compiled its list, which included:

1. Smart Fortwo was the worst because of the eternal problems with electronics, the high cost of spare parts and repairs.
2. Chevrolet Matiz excelled weak suspension, damage to which can occur even after hitting a small pothole.
3. The Honda Jazz (Fit) has many electrical deficiencies.
4. Fiat Punto failed to properly organize the cooling and air conditioning system. And if the second one can somehow be survived, then overheating of the engine is a very unpleasant phenomenon, and can lead to very expensive repairs.
5. Hyundai i20 did not bring to mind the EUR, automatic transmission and suspension.
6. Hyundai i30 could not pass crash tests, which is why it fell into the rating of unreliable cars.
7. Peugeot 308 is famous for the same weakness of the suspension and electronic stuffing.
8. Seat Ibiza / Cordoba, like the car from the first line, glorified itself with unreliable electronics and high repair costs.
9. Volkswagen Eos sins bad job machine and electronics.
10. Ford Mondeo is not properly fueled, which leads to malfunctions.

On our own, we can only add that before buying a car, it makes sense to turn to several sources, and based on the information received from them, make your choice in favor of one or another.

Every car enthusiast wants not only to be the owner of an "iron horse", but also to have a durable and trouble-free vehicle. Currently, the most reliable cars are produced by various companies from countries such as Germany, Sweden, the USA, Japan and others. It is about these very cars that will be discussed in this article.

How is the degree of reliability determined?

The reliability of a vehicle is understood as the ability to perform its functions, while maintaining the established performance indicators within the conditions of use. This is a complex property consisting of the following criteria:

• Durability - the vehicle must always be on the move, regardless of mileage and year of manufacture. Shows how long the vehicle can be operated with regular and high-quality maintenance.
• Reliability is the resistance of parts, assemblies and mechanisms to destructive effects. This takes into account such factors as the constant operation of the vehicle, as well as timely replacement Supplies.
• Maintainability - the ability to prevent and detect the causes of failures and maintain a healthy state through maintenance and repair. If breakdowns occur, the manufacturer must provide for the possibility of their fast way elimination.
• Safety - the car is obliged to maintain performance during and after the period of storage and transportation.

The reliability of a car decreases as parts and mechanisms wear out, as the probability of failure of each subsequent node increases. It can be assumed that all new cars can be considered reliable, but over time this criterion decreases. The material presents vehicles, which over time and operation are able to maintain their previous properties, that is, they have a minimum degree of wear. To determine the highest quality cars, the following criteria are taken into account:

1. Owner reviews;
2. Research;
3. Crash tests;
4. Tests in difficult conditions.

What are the most reliable car brands in the world?

Before presenting the ranking of the most reliable cars, it is necessary to identify the top car brands, which have high rates of this characteristic. These are auto manufacturers different countries, which have been producing vehicles with high levels of maintainability, safety, durability and reliability for many years.

The competition among the leaders of the global automotive industry is colossal, and every year it is more and more difficult to name a real leader in terms of reliability

1. The first place in the ranking is occupied by the Japanese brand Toyota. This brand produces vehicles with different body- pickups, crossovers, hatchbacks, sedans and SUVs. Toyota brand vehicles combine high quality and affordable price. The Japanese really know how to produce high quality parts, so they don't need to buy German and American fixtures.
2. Second place goes to another Japanese Lexus brand. In most ratings, this brand even occupies a leading position, but in terms of price-quality ratio, they lose somewhat to Toyota. Literally in five years, Lexus cars were able to rise from the bottom and become leaders. This once again proves that the Japanese really know how to make cars.
3. The third place can rightfully be given to the Japanese brand Honda. For some time this brand was supplanted by the American Ford competitor, but the Japanese do not give up, and today the Honda brand occupies a leading position. It is not possible to overtake Honda of their compatriots, but it is only a matter of time.
