Secret developments of the Gorky Automobile Plant. The coolest Russian car novelties in digital format Mapping from Toyota

When choosing a car, many buyers face a difficult choice: to buy a used foreign car or to buy a new model of a domestic automaker from the showroom. If even 10 years ago this question would have been rather rhetorical, today it makes sense to study the market well, because new products Russian car industry, which should arrive in the showrooms of the Russian Federation during 2018-2019, are in many ways not inferior to cars from European, Asian and American manufacturers. Of the advantages of cars developed by the best automakers in Russia, it is worth noting:

• reliability and readiness for harsh operating conditions;
• affordable price;
• stylish modern design;
• excellent technical characteristics;
• inexpensive repairs and maintenance.

New AvtoVAZ 2018-2019

public Joint-Stock Company AVTOVAZ is the largest Russian automaker, more than 50% of whose shares are currently owned by Renault-Nissan Alliance. The result of cooperation between engineers and designers of the two enterprises will be new models that will surprise you with a spectacular exterior, comfortable interior and high functionality.

Lada Kalina

The popular model in 2018 will receive a new design, as well as a number of significant technical improvements.

The car has slightly increased in size, received a stylish front bumper, upgraded running system, more comfortable lounge in 2-color design, high-quality sound insulation and a number of modern features to help the driver.

As before, the car will have three body options:

1. compact hatchback;
2. classic sedan;
3. roomy station wagon (Cross).

Also in 2019, it will be possible to purchase a sports version of this model, called Lada Kalina NFR. In the basic configuration, the car will be front-wheel drive, but the manufacturer promises that as an option sports viburnum can get all-wheel drive.

Lada Vesta

Soon, several new versions of the front-wheel drive will go to car dealerships at once. passenger car Lada Vesta.

• classic station wagon SW;
• off-road models SW Cross and Cross Sedan;
• elongated Signature sedan.

All models will receive an elegant body shape with a sharply lowered rear pillars roof line, recognizable x-shaped front design, stylish interior trim, a wide range of useful features, as well as economical power units with a capacity of 106 and 122 hp.

Lada Largus

In 2018, the Lada Largus station wagon will be sold under the name Dacia Logan Stepway. In addition to the new name, the model will receive updated exterior, stylish interior design and a number of modern technical solutions that will significantly improve the technical characteristics and functionality of the car.

The new Largus is planned to be released in three versions:

1. 5-seater station wagon;
2. 7-seat minivan;
3. van.

The 2019 Largus line will not do without a novelty with improved characteristics, because it is these models that attract the attention of European motorists to models of the domestic auto industry. Spacious, roomy, reliable and ready for realities Russian roads, Largus Cross should arrive in showrooms in the second half of 2018.

Lada Priora

With the release of a number of new models, interest in Priora has somewhat decreased, which prompted the manufacturer to another restyling.

The car of 2018 and 2019 received:

• completely new design front bumper and radiator grilles in the X-style characteristic of the new models;
• updated LED headlights;
• reinforced body;
• comfortable salon;
• economical petrol engines of 1.6 and 1.8 liters.

Otherwise, the model will remain the same, because the management of AVTOVAZ has repeatedly announced the cessation of production of Priora, and therefore finds it inappropriate to carry out a more significant restyling, which requires large investments.

Lada Granta

Reliability and efficiency, classic design and good driving performance, affordable prices for Consumables and spare parts, as well as the availability of models with both manual transmission, and with automatic transmission, last year raised Grant to the first positions in the ratings of domestic cars. Granta became the best-selling VAZ model in 2017, and the updated version took the place of the most anticipated novelty of the Russian auto industry, the release of which should start during 2018-2019.

What will be the serial all-wheel drive Lada, we will be able to evaluate this fall. Previously, the model had to receive two modifications:

1. Urban crossover with all-wheel drive.
2. Off-road vehicle with constant FWD, 6-speed manual transmission and low gear.

Lada XRAY

For 2019, the much-loved XRAY will receive significant changes that turn it into a stylish and ready-to-ride crossover not only on the ideal streets of megacities.

At the end of this year, two new models should appear in the salons of Russia:

1. XRAY Cross;
2. XRAY Sport.

The cars received not only a noticeable restyling, which added sporty dynamism and masculine aggressiveness to the stylish X, but also a serious refinement of systems and components, which had a very positive effect on the main indicators of the car.

The main difference between the sporty and comfortable urban version will be in the powertrains. For the Cross model, these will be economical engines that develop power of the order of 114 and 123 hp, and for the Sport modification - a turbocharged 150-horsepower engine.

Lada X code

Another conceptual crossover that has become the trendsetter of the new fashionable X-style of Lada cars. Stylish exterior with a pronounced off-road character complement noteworthy specifications.

If outwardly the X-Code somewhat echoes the style of the new XRAY models, then in the cabin it is really unique. The combination of minimalism and high functionality, combined with high-quality materials and modern technologies, will make the interior of the conceptual novelty of the automotive industry unique and unlike any domestic car produced in 2018 and 2019.

Also, the car will receive a hybrid power plant.

New UAZ 2018-2019

The slogan of the company: "UAZ - Natural Drive" / "UAZ - the Nature of Movement", is fully realized by the engineers and designers of the company.

Of course, representatives of such an elite class will not be launched in mass production, but the manufacturers promise that in 2019, those wishing to become owners of the Cortege series models will be able to purchase a custom-made car, choosing the desired equipment in the optimal price category.

The cost of cars will vary from 6 to 25 million rubles.

The possible release of a stylish crossover in today's popular SUV segment was first discussed back in 2015. Preliminary images of the car were registered with Rospatent.

But it’s hard to say what the expected domestic UAZ crossover will really be. It is known that the Italian studio Pininfarina won the competition for the creation of the exterior of the novelty. But the sketches and developments submitted for the competition are carefully hidden.

On this moment The project has been suspended, but there is no talk of closing it yet.

the site tried to bring together all the most interesting and promising projects of the domestic automotive industry, which, in turn, are not directly related to the largest Russian vehicle manufacturers.

Note that most of the independent renderings that you will meet below are made by the designers of the popular domestic publication Kolesa.ru. In addition, in the material you will see images of domestically produced models that were created by other designers.

It is also worth saying that some of the presented digital projects, most likely, will remain “live in virtual world". At the same time, some of the drawn cars actually give an idea of ​​what this or that model of large Russian companies.

Every motorist wants not just to be the owner of " iron horse”, but also to have a durable and trouble-free vehicle. Currently the most reliable cars release various companies from countries such as Germany, Sweden, 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 factors such as continuous operation TC, as well as timely replacement of consumables.
• 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 that, 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 rating 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 a different body - pickups, crossovers, hatchbacks, sedans and SUVs. Toyota brand cars combine high quality and affordable price. The Japanese really know how to make parts. High Quality, so they do not need to purchase devices of German and American origin.
2. The second place is occupied by another Japanese brand Lexus. 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. The Japanese took a course on build quality, and refused to cooperate with suppliers with an unreliable history.
4. The fourth position in the ranking is occupied by the American concern Ford. The brand has been famous for its cars for more than a dozen years. recent update Focus models had a positive impact on the strengthening of their positions in the rankings.
5. Dodge is on the fifth position of the rating. Many may argue with the brainchild of the Chrysler group, but thanks to its Charger and Dart models, it is well ahead of the Subaru and Nissan brands.
6. Sixth place goes to the American brand Chevrolet, owned by the General Motors group. The quality of Chevrolet cars over the past five years is noteworthy. Chevrolet's Cruze and Silverado models received dramatic improvements over the 2000 models.
7. Japanese is in seventh place. Nissan brand, which for a long time lost to brands such as Subaru, Toyota and Honda. Nissan ahead of Subaru, but get around Honda brands and Toyota hasn't succeeded yet. The most popular models of this brand in Russia are Teana and Sentra.
8. The Subaru brand of Japanese origin occupied the eighth position. Subaru vehicles are highly durable. At the moment, Subaru cars that were produced more than 10 years ago are used on the roads. It was this factor that influenced the assessment of this brand in a positive direction.
9. At the ninth position of the ranking is the GMC brand of American origin. Car owners american brand General Motors praise them for having an inexpensive Maintenance compared to competing brands. Most Chevrolet parts fit GMC.
10. Tenth place is occupied by the Japanese brand Mazda. The concern has long been famous for the durability of its cars. The second advantage of this brand is the cheapness of a used car with a mileage of over 100 thousand km. Universal cars that combine quality, reliability and affordable price.

Class Leaders

Now consider the leaders by models. Let's divide our rating into classes, which will be represented by three best models car.

Passenger cars A and B class

The leaders in this segment are the following brands and models of machines:

1. Honda Jazz or Fit. In 2007, this model has undergone major changes that directly affect the reliability of the car. In 2013, the third generation Honda Jazz was introduced. Family style, spacious interior and ergonomic design are the main trump cards of the car, but it was recognized as reliable due to its technical indicators.

   

2. Chevrolet Aveo is a car of the American concern, the start of production of which falls on 2002. The car went through three generations, which had a positive effect on its safety, comfort and reliability characteristics. This model is based on two gasoline engines, whose power is 110 and 115 Horse power.

   

3. Mazda 2 - auto Japanese made, which has always been famous for the reliability of internal combustion engines. The engine on the Mazda 2 is recognized as reliable even despite its voracity (6.3 liters per 100 km on the highway and 10 liters in the city). The problem of this car was once low adaptability to frost, since already at a temperature of -20 there were problems with starting the engine. Motors of the second and third generation of Mazda 2 are devoid of these shortcomings and are among the most reliable in their category.

   

Middle class C

In this category, there was an active struggle for a place in the top three, as many brands produce quality cars middle class. After a thorough analysis, the following leaders were identified.

1. Toyota Corolla is a Japanese brand that has been a huge success among buyers for over 40 years. It is worth noting the high rates of corrosion resistance of the car, which is due to zinc spraying, the layer of which is 5-15 microns. The car does not have an excessive amount of electronics, which undoubtedly allows you to win in terms of reliability. In the case of modern maintenance, cars with a mileage of up to 200,000 km are considered practically new. On average, engines run over 400,000 km.

   

2. Toyota Prius is another model of the Japanese concern, which has a breakdown index of 2.34 per 100 cars. It is also worth noting that Toyota Prius occupied a leading position in terms of reliability in all years of its release. The fuel consumption of this car corresponds to the level of diesel engines, and high indicators of durability and maintainability bring the vehicle to an honorable second place.

   

3. Mazda 3 is a car produced since the beginning of 2003. The reliability of the unit has been determined over the years, since over the years this model has shown fairly high rates of maintainability and safety. The Mazda 3 sports car, thanks to its dynamics, ease of control and maneuverability, is perfect for driving around the city as well as outside it.

   

It is worth noting that all the presented models are products of the Japanese automobile industry. It was Japanese cars that conquered the market, and have been in the lead for five years.

Reliability leaders in class D

Class D includes big cars designed for family trips. The length of such cars is from 4.5 to 4.8 meters, and the volume of the trunk is up to 400 liters. The most reliable vehicles in this segment include:

1. Volkswagen Passat is a car of a German brand that got rid of the status of an unreliable car quite recently and has already earned an honorable first place in its category. In the seventh version of the Passat, most of the shortcomings were eliminated, however, based on previous experience, buyers do not actively prefer this model. The control unit, the rear caliper mechanism were replaced in the car, and the usual lever was returned. parking brake instead of a button.

   

2. Toyota Avensis - in the D class, there was also a representative of the Japanese auto industry. Avensis is produced in three bodies, but it was the sedan that gained great popularity. This car is designed to work, which proves their many years of operation. There are practically no drawbacks to this brand of car, with the exception of oil voracity, from which models produced before 2005 suffered. Of course, cases of breakdowns are also found on modern Avensis models, but these breakdowns are minor and have nothing to do with the internal combustion engine.

   

3. Honda Accord is another Japanese car that has received the status of the most reliable vehicle in class D. The car has a sports aggressive appearance Why is it called the Japanese BMW? However, the Honda Accord deserves positive reviews not because of its beauty, but because of the high reliability factor. In the eighth generation of the Honda Accord, the lack of corrosion instability and unsatisfactory quality were eliminated. paintwork, as was typical of the seventh version.

   

Crossovers

The following car brands are recognized as reliable crossovers:

1. Mitsubishi ASX is an urban crossover built on the Outlander platform. In Japan, the first crossover model was released in 2010. The owners of the ASX with the basic configuration of the engine noted the problems with starting the engine: the start occurs from the second or third time. There were also problems with squeezing oil through the dipstick and seals in frosts above -30 degrees. However, these shortcomings were inherent in first-generation cars until 2012, and only for gasoline units with a volume of 1.6 liters, and restyled models do not have such problems.

   

2. Dacia Duster is budget crossover, produced in two variations with front and all-wheel drive systems. It is not only reliable, but also inexpensive and universal car designed for movement both in the city and off-road. Outwardly, it is very difficult to say that this crossover belongs to the category of budget models, however, by visiting the salon, you can see the simplicity of the car.

   

3. Opel Mokka is a German crossover that is popular among European youth. The crossover has a recognizable appearance, which is emphasized by the large cells of the radiator grille, as well as big headlights. Interior trim materials have a remarkable and expensive look, but in reality they are not. The car is available in two versions with petrol and diesel engines. Both types of motors show good results in durability, reliability, maintainability and safety.

   

SUVs

Among SUVs that occupy a leading position in terms of reliability, the top three should be noted.

1. Toyota Land cruiser The 200 is a legendary off-road vehicle that has consistently been a leader in its category. The reliability of the car is due to the frame structure and powerful engines V8 volumes from 4.5 to 5.7 liters. Unlike its younger brother, the Land Cruiser Prado, this model is assembled in Japan and then brought to car dealerships in our country.
