The most popular used cars. What cars are most often bought in Russia. Unpretentious and unkillable foreign cars

The second-hand foreign cars of Ford, Toyota and Renault companies are most in demand among Russians. In the segment of the most affordable cars, AvtoVAZ reigns supreme.

Sales of new cars are falling from month to month. High prices and decline financial opportunities in the crisis forced many Russians to think about buying a used car instead of a new one. Thanks to this, the market for used cars from January to July 2016 increased by 9.3% to 2.9 million cars, according to the analytical agency Avtostat-Info. The most popular used cars on the Russian market in the Life review.

Foreign cars

Ford Focus

The leading position among foreign cars is held by american car Ford Focus. From January to July this year, about 77 thousand Russians chose this car, which is only 0.7% lower than the same period last year. To a greater extent, motorists prefer the second generation of foreign cars. It was this car that turned out to be successful in terms of price and quality. Demand for the Focus is supported by affordable parts. In Russia, the car was sold in three body types: sedan, hatchback (three- and five-door), station wagon. On average, a used Focus can be taken for 250-420 thousand rubles.

Toyota Corolla

The Toyota Corolla sedan is not in vain called the most popular car in the world, in Russian secondary market it also sells quite well. As of the end of July, a total of 66.5 thousand cars were sold (-0.03%). The Japanese foreign car has won the image of a reliable and non-capricious car in maintenance. The most popular for resale are the ninth and tenth generations of the car. Moreover, the Auris hatchback, in almost all aspects, except for the body, is identical to the Corolla sedan, and does not have a tenth of its popularity. "Live" copies of Corolla can be found on average for 285-650 thousand rubles.

Toyota Camry

At first glance, the popularity of second-hand Toyota Camry in Russia defies logic. Unpretentious equipment, a simple interior, lacquered wood inserts, evoking associations with budget Chinese cars. High price (about 400-950 thousand rubles) in comparison with competitors ... However, Camry is credited with reliability, a long resource of components and assemblies. For people who buy a new car, this is perhaps the most important trump card. In addition, Toyota's bidding success created an "bureaucratic" image for the Camry. It seems that many are willing to pay for an aura of respectability that has not yet evaporated. For seven months, 43 thousand people (+6.6%) chose Camry for themselves.

Renault Logan

Cheap, unpretentious and fairly reliable - that's all you need to know when buying a used Logan. For seven months, 40 thousand sedans were sold (-3.4%). Such popularity is ensured by the first generation of the model; in good condition, a car can be purchased for 200-350 thousand rubles. Demand is positively influenced by a widely branched network Renault dealers and cheap parts.

Daewoo Nexia

Cheap mass foreign car Daewoo Nexia with Uzbek and Korean-American roots were bought by 39.8 thousand (-9.5%) motorists. The sedan has its pedigree from the 1984 Opel Kadet. Ergonomic miscalculations, doors and body sills rusting over time do not become barriers for choosing Nexia when it comes to price: in good condition, a car can be purchased for 80-250 thousand rubles. The advantages of Nexia also include economical engines, the ability to take a car with power steering, air conditioning and power windows.

Domestic

Lada Samara

Of all domestically produced cars in the secondary market, the Lada Samara family is the most popular, which includes the Lada 2108 and 2109 hatchbacks, the 21099 sedan and their restyled versions ("Samara-2"). In total, 254,000 Samars were sold in the first seven months of 2016, which is 15% less than in the same period last year. Cars of this family were produced for almost 30 years, from 1984 to 2013, so there are enough of them on the used car market. Popularity is also facilitated by the fact that the car is affordable and has front-wheel drive. In addition, at the end of Samara's life, AvtoVAZ eliminated a large number of shortcomings that had been chasing the "chisel" for a long time. The approximate price of these cars is 70-230 thousand rubles.

"Zhiguli"

The very first model of AvtoVAZ became the ancestor of a whole family of Zhiguli cars, which is also called the "classic". For 44 years, seven models have been produced (VAZ 2101-2107), which are united by one thing - rear drive, longitudinal arrangement of the engine, mechanics and general ascetic interior design. And if for 1970, when the production of the VAZ-2101 started, the car was relatively modern, then by 2000 the Zhiguli design itself was morally and technically obsolete, even despite numerous upgrades. However, cars of this family are still popular in the secondary market, 188 thousand Zhiguli were sold in seven months of this year. different models(-twenty%). For the most part, they are purchased for learning the basics of driving, and the "four", for example, is the most popular car in the small business environment. An incomparable plus of the Zhiguli is the most affordable price for a "live" version: 20-160 thousand rubles.

Lada 110

Cars of the so-called tenth family in the first half of 2016 sold 144 thousand copies (-13%). Total this model It was produced in three versions (sedan, station wagon and hatchback with three or five doors), and its life on the assembly line was short compared to the "classics" and "Samara" - "dozens" were produced for 13 years. The release started in 1996, and before the advent of "viburnum" and "priors" this car was the most modern and prestigious in model range AvtoVAZ. Now the trump cards of the tenth family in the used car market are the lower price and availability of spare parts compared to foreign classmates. The average price is 90-180 thousand rubles.

Lada Priora

"Priora", which is the result deep modernization model VAZ-2110, is inferior to it in the secondary market: in the period from January to July 2016, 96 thousand used Priora were sold (+ 3.7%). This is primarily due to the higher price and the fact that the model that entered the assembly line in 2007 is still being produced. Accordingly, in the secondary market you can find a "fresh" copy. At the moment, AvtoVAZ offers this car only in a sedan body, earlier the plant also produced a hatchback and station wagon. The four-door will also soon finally move into the class of used cars. For a car in the condition "sat down and drove" they ask 180-290 thousand rubles.

Lada 4x4

The top five leaders of the Russian secondary market among domestic cars closes the VAZ long-liver - a 4x4 SUV, better known to Russians as the "Niva". The car got on the conveyor in 1977. AvtoVAZ regularly modernizes it and is not going to withdraw it from production. In 2016, 66.9 thousand cars were sold (-7%). The quality of roads in many Russian regions still leaves much to be desired, which is the key to the popularity of the SUV. In addition, Niva is the only cheap SUV with a minimum level of comfort, penny spare parts and ample opportunities for refinement. You can take a used 4x4 if you have 50-300 thousand rubles.

It is generally accepted that buying a used car is akin to a lottery, where the probability of losing is many times higher than the chances of drawing a winning ticket. But no one forces you to play blindly: it all depends on how you approach the choice of car. And if you do not plan to spend money on repairs, you can start by studying the reliability ratings of cars that are sold on the secondary market. What cars worth up to 800,000 rubles. have proven to be the least problematic?

Mazda 3 BL (2-3 years)

With the start of sales Mazda 3 2013 model year previous generation began to actively explore the secondary market. The model with the BL index attracts buyers both with its up-to-date design and low mileage, and with good chances for further resale. Indirectly, this is indicated by the demand for the “troika” of the first generation, which is still a real bestseller.

On average, car prices for 2011-2012 start at 550,000 rubles. Most often there are modifications with a 1.6-liter gasoline engine with a capacity of 104 hp, and those who want to buy a car with a 150-horsepower engine with a volume of 2 liters will have to spend some time searching. Both power units do not cause serious complaints from the owners. On a 1.6-liter engine, oil may leak from under the timing cover bolt. Most often, to solve the problem, it is put on a sealant.

Both gearboxes - automatic transmission and mechanics, are considered quite reliable. The weak point of the Mazda 3 of the second generation is the steering rack: there are cases when it began to knock at a run of 20 thousand km, and by 60 thousand it needed to be replaced. On average, about 50 thousand walks the left engine mount and stabilizer struts, the remaining suspension elements can withstand more mileage.

Pads have a smaller resource, they are changed every 20-30 thousand, and brake discs 2-2.5 times less often. When buying, it is useful to pay attention to the condition of the body: given the good demand in the secondary market, this model is often restored after serious accidents. Also, remember that the Mazda 3 BL is one of the top most stolen cars in the world.

VW Passat CC (4-5 years)

Despite the fact that the 4-door "comfort coupe" appeared in dealerships back in 2008, its appearance remains relevant today. The average cost of the 2009-2010 Passat CC is very close to our price point. However, for this money, you can choose a modification equipped with one of the supercharged gasoline engines, 1.8 and 2 liters with a capacity of 160 and 200 hp, as well as an economical 2-liter turbodiesel developing 140 hp.

In general, power units do not cause any particular problems, with the exception of some nuances. In particular, 1.8 TSI with the BZB index requires attention to the timing chain tensioner - with a run of over 70 thousand, the chain may loosen and jump. In addition, a car with a mileage of more than 100 thousand km. often squeezes out the crankshaft oil seal. A motor of the same size with the CDA index, which has been installed on the Passat CC since mid-2010, is prone to high oil consumption.

An engine with a volume of 2 liters is considered more reliable. As for the turbodiesel, cases of stuck throttle are known. The most reliable among the gearboxes remains mechanics, in which even the clutch life exceeds 200 thousand km. Automatic transmission may require replacement of the hydraulic valve block, however, the 7-speed has earned the reputation of the most problematic box DSG robot who “does not like” traffic in traffic jams. Repair of this node is a rather expensive procedure.

For the suspension, replacements are mainly required by consumables, but the front levers and rear wheel bearings go on average a little over 100 thousand km.

Ford Fusion (6-7 years old)

This is a real urban “workhorse”, or rather a pony - quite simple, budgetary and reliable. On average, prices for copies of 2007-2008 start at 270,000-300,000 rubles. The runs are quite decent - about 80-90 thousand, but if you wish, you can find cars that have passed no more than 60 thousand. The model is equipped with only 2 gasoline power units, with a volume of 1.4 and 1.6. l., which develop a power of 80 and 100 hp.

Both engines belong to the Duratec family - by no means the most modern, but without serious flaws. Therefore, problems with them during regular maintenance should not arise either for 100 thousand or 200 thousand. Like many Ford models, weak point is the fuel pump: often it needs to be replaced already at 100 thousand km. But it is not necessary to change it to the original assembly with the “glass”: you can pick up the pump itself in the catalog of substitutes.

The best option is to buy Ford Fusion with manual transmission: in this case, it may only be necessary to replace the clutch, the resource of which is measured at about 100 thousand mileage. The Aisin “automatic” is also quite reliable, but the “robot” is more problematic: it often fails actuating mechanism, electrical wiring corrodes, and clutch replacement will cost more than on mechanics.

In the suspension, stabilizer struts most often require replacement, the remaining elements go over 100 thousand. At the same time, along with original parts and consumables, it is easy to find more available replacements. The disadvantages include only the high cost of body parts.

Toyota RAV4 (8-9 years old)

The Japanese compact crossover is in demand in the secondary market, so car prices start at 500,000 rubles. For this amount, you can buy a second-generation RAV4 of the last years of production with one of two gasoline engines: 2 liters, 150 hp, and 2.4 liters, developing 167 hp. Modifications with a 125-horsepower engine for the 2005-2006 model year are much less common.

With timely maintenance, the resource of both motors significantly exceeds 300 thousand km. It is necessary to change the candles every 15-20 thousand, wash the nozzles for 40-50 thousand and throttle valve, and after 200 thousand, the timing chain may need to be replaced. “Automatic” and mechanics are reliable, but the life of the first is significantly reduced by active off-road driving. In turn, the clutch on the mechanics takes care of 150-200 thousand km.

Chassis is also strong: 70 thousand may require replacement of the struts and stabilizer bushings, and at 100 thousand the front shock absorbers often begin to flow, but the rest of the suspension elements live longer. Some cars experience a leaky steering rack oil seal, but this can be easily fixed with an inexpensive repair kit.

VW Golf (10-11 years old)

Production of the fifth generation VW Golf began in 2003, and today the range of prices for used cars of the 2003-2004 model year is 300,000-350,000 rubles. The most common in the secondary market are cars with a 1.4-liter gasoline engine with a capacity of 75 and 90 hp, as well as a 1.6-liter engine that can develop 102 or 115 hp. But if you wish, you can find cars with a 2-liter 150-horsepower power unit or one of two turbodiesels.

Golf body V differs in rather high resistance to corrosion: a guarantee of the manufacturer - 12 years. As for engines, engines with the FSI index, with a volume of 1.4 and 1.6 liters, have a relatively small timing chain drive resource - chain replacement is often required already at a range of 120-130 thousand km. The engine, with a volume of 2 liters, has a belt drive, and usually the belt also does not take care of the 180 thousand km assigned to it.

Power units with the MPI index, they do not cause any particular complaints, like both manual transmissions. The clutch in them goes over 120 thousand km. Reviews regarding the reliability of the 6-speed robotic box DSG gear contradictory: many owners complain about the malfunction of the “robot” ECU.

As for the suspension, the silent blocks of the front levers and stabilizer struts are primarily subject to wear - their resource is 70-80 thousand km. The rear suspension has a resource of more than 100 thousand km. Among other problems, a EUR malfunction is possible in cars of early years. The advantage of the VW Golf V is that the cost of used copies decreases very little over time.

Every year, analysts summarize and provide visual information about the situation on the market. The past year was no exception, as auto sales data for 2018 was recently made available to the public. The rating of the best-selling cars in Russia for 2019 is just beginning to be calculated, since there is still a lot of time before the end of the reporting period. But so far the situation is developing well. There is a certain probability of maintaining positive dynamics in the sale of new cars. But the situation can change at any moment. Therefore, we will talk about the leaders in car sales in Russia, which were most often bought from official dealers. The Association of European Businesses was involved in the calculations. According to their data, it was possible to determine the most purchased cars in Russia in 2018 and roughly draw a picture for the upcoming results of 2019.

Most Popular Models

Now let's look at the rating of the most popular cars in Russia specifically by model. We shouldn't expect big surprises here, as the situation on the market turned out to be rather stable. But still in the top popular cars has its own nuances. Let's talk about them in more detail.

This is the best-selling car in Russia in 2019. A breakthrough for the AVTOVAZ model - LADA Vesta, of course, will take its rightful place among such iconic cars of the Volga Automobile Plant line as: VAZ-2101, 2109 and 2110. It is not surprising that the international team worked on the exterior and interior of the model.

Cons of LADA Vesta

Transmission. Some owners say that while driving, extraneous noises are heard coming from the box. Serious defects of this kind were not observed. There were complaints about bugs in the original firmware (important for robotic) that caused crashes when switching between gears. The "ailment" is treated with firmware from an authorized dealer.

Some owners also complain about "mechanics", bearing problems and difficult shifting.

Chassis of the car. On the Cross modification, the rear suspension has been upgraded and front shock absorbers with springs have been installed, all due to a 25 mm increase in ground clearance. There is an opinion on the Internet that the supports were delivered with sufficient quality, that at the turn there was a backlash over time.

Another kind of “disease” is the flying plugs of the central part of the wheel. Over time, the fastening part comes out of the grooves from the shrinkage temperature.

Engine. Keep an eye on the oil level in the engine from the moment of purchase.

Salon Vesta. Over time, the interior begins to "creak". Interior elements creak due to the lack of seals. At least in Runet there is an opinion that cleaning the steering braid will help get rid of the problem.

Wiper blades - an unexpected drawback. The part can also quickly fail.

A failure of the windshield heating has been noticed (the firmware is to blame or the need to check the fuses), sometimes the ignition coils fail (warranty case). Door hinges creak (rarely), elastic suspension SAG exhaust system.

Of course, these are not all the shortcomings of Vesta. But they have one thing in common - serious damage, complete renovation engine or gearbox replacement has not happened yet.

Advantages of LADA Vesta

AvtoVAZ has become better. Don't expect major damage. Yes, there are problems with the little things that we managed to find on the net, but they most likely belong to the “children's” category. The automaker is working on fine-tuning new products and is really listening to its customers and Vesta users. He made a big bet on the model, because reputation and huge investments are at stake.

Engine. Good horse. Those drivers who have already managed to drive more than 100 thousand km, no additional complaints were announced.

Clearance really helps in everyday urban use. Where the usual Vesta will not pass, the Cross version will easily overcome the obstacle without damage.

European level? It is not surprising that the "West" is actively promoted in the markets. In general, versatile and not only looks modern and attractive (at least for most users). Therefore, the departure of AvtoVAZ from the "bricks" on wheels is another plus.

Although Kia Rio The 2019 model is a cheap model, far from being just a mainstream mode of transport. High performance security of this subcompact car make it good choice for families on a limited budget. Responsive handling also allows the Rio to offer a surprisingly enjoyable driving experience. While the sedan version provides trunk security, some drivers will be lured extra space for storage. Does the new Rio stand out from the competition?

For 2019, Kia decided to reduce the number of available trim levels. Unfortunately, the mechanical one will no longer be offered. On the other hand, buyers are now getting more equipment for their money.

Every new 2019 Kia Rio is powered by a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. It develops a total of 130 Horse power. Although the Rio isn't fast, Kia has tuned it to give it good acceleration around town. This is one of the reasons the Rio is so recommended for a city car. You can easily move from one traffic light to another. The six-speed automatic transmission does a good job of keeping the Rio in its ideal powerband.

Review statistics show that it is even and confident economy car. The 2019 Kia Rio drives a lot better than the typical economy car. While the Rio is aimed at city dwellers, it rides smoothly enough for highway travel. Reliable handling further distinguishes the Rio from the cheapest cars. Despite the main Rio tires it feels very manageable. Drivers will love it wheel with a thick frame that will allow you to securely hold the grip on the road.

Fuel economy. People in the market for a small commuter car don't want to spend a lot of money on fuel. While some cars in the class run better on gas, the 2019 Kia Rio certainly fits the description of an efficient car.

Good car for your money. With a starting price of just over $15,000, the 2019 Kia Rio is perfect for young people just entering the job market. It's also great for families looking to save money. Kia's 100,000 mile transmission warranty covers the engine and transmission for quite some time. There's also enough standard equipment to keep you satisfied. Some of the most important functions include a 5.0-inch touchscreen, heated mirrors, SiriusXM radio and rear camera display.

The front panel looks particularly sporty. The mesh grating is included in standard equipment. If you choose the S version, you will be rewarded with LED headlights and side lights. Premium colors such as black and red currant further enliven the look of the Rio.

Small cars are great for getting from point A to point B. However, the 2019 Kia Rio is not just a low-cost proposition for students and young families. It also happens to be an amiable family vehicle. As soon as you step into the new Rio, expect to be surprised by its amount of passenger space. This car will have no problem transporting four adults. IN center console there is also enough space to store smartphones.

Impressive safety performance for small car. In the past, many cars were considered less safe. Fortunately, things have changed for the better. Selected as a Top Safety Pick+ by the IIHS, the Kia Rio definitely passes the most critical crash tests. Its collision avoidance is considered by the IIHS to be the best. Available LED headlights also received a good rating for visibility at night. The S model is equipped with automatic emergency braking.

An excellent choice for any family or company. Among the main reasons why Russians choose this particular car:

• It has almost negligible noise in the cabin.
• The solid suspension ensures a comfortable ride.
• The aerodynamics are amazing, as are the ergonomics.
• You will feel that the car is going 50 km/h, but in fact 100. This is a proof of Hyundai's performance and quality.
• The interior is a treat for the eyes.
• It has an excellent infotainment system along with Bluetooth controls.
• Looks, as you all already know, amazing.
• It is developed using the latest technologies which makes the controls quite smooth.
• The standard speakers are fantastic.

Volkswagen Polo so well known that it hardly needs an introduction. If you like Ford Fiesta, Audi A1, Peugeot 208 or Vauxhall Corsa - or any other supermini - you should definitely at least consider the Polo.

The new Polo is bigger and more technologically advanced than its predecessor. For example, its occupancy is 25% larger than before, while VW's optional "Active Info Display" is digital. information panel- is the first for the supermini class. Adaptive cruise control, self-parking system and panoramic sunroof on the roof are options that offer systems and functions from the class above. Although the new car is still recognizable as a Polo and hardly has a radical aesthetic appearance, it is markedly different from its predecessor, reminiscent of the more spacious Golf with intricate headlight design and a geometric rear end.

The Polo is offered with a wide range of engines. We propose to abandon the 1.0-liter petrol engines with 64 and 79 hp whenever possible. from. - not because they are bad, but simply because VW's 1.0-liter turbocharged TSI petrol with 94 hp. more practical.

The sale also offers a 113-horsepower version of this engine and a 1.58-liter

Power 148 l. s., while the Polo GTI gets a 2.0-liter turbocharged petrol. A DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission is offered as an option across most of the range.

The Polo has always been a light car to recommend with its class-defying looks and comfort, and the new model builds on those. strengths. At speed, it's impressively quiet.

However, there is one small minus: this new version of the Polo is practically a copy SEAT Ibiza released a few months earlier. There are differences: the Polo's vents are set lower and the dash fairing is shaped differently, but the Polo seems to have lost some of its mature, sensible vibe in the process.

Build quality is higher thanks to perfect millimeter gaps between body panels and an impressive sense of solidity inside. Even though there are one or two dashboard surfaces that could be made from simpler materials, it's important to keep in mind that this is a supermini - albeit built to exacting standards.

The 351-litre boot tops some of the competition in the class above, while rear space is ample for adults and really impressive for a supermini. In this regard, Polo easily beats Fiesta.

The Polo's steering is a little light and ultimately lacks feel compared to the Fiesta, but it's more fun to drive on back roads than its predecessor. There is almost no wind, road, or engine noise on the expressway, which in most trim levels gets in.

All vehicles feature autonomous emergency braking and LED daytime running lights, as well as an eight-inch infotainment screen. The youth-oriented Beats trim adds a higher quality stereo system and a few aesthetic touches, while R-line model will provide some of the sporty trappings of the Polo GTI without much of an increase in price and running costs.

Powerful standard safety equipment has helped the Polo achieve a five-star Euro NCAP crash safety rating, and Volkswagen owners, as a rule, remain very loyal to the brand. Reliability also looks reasonable, with about 11.5% of VW owners reporting at least one problem with their vehicles during their first year of ownership.

Volkswagen Polo is sharper and more agile than before. Excellent build quality and decent standard equipment. Volkswagen Polo is the first supermini to feature a digital dashboard. Spacious, comfortable and with a large boot, this is a practical supermini. Standard offline emergency braking enhances security.

"LADA" with a VAZ 21129 engine of 16 valves with a capacity of 1.6 liters. and a capacity of 106 liters. from. at the end of last year, it could be purchased for 700,000 rubles. As for the consumption of gasoline, 8.5 liters are consumed when driving off-road, and 9-9.5 liters in the city.

Trunk volume is 700 liters. The ceiling is quite high. If desired, you can put a chair in the trunk and turn a 5-seater van into a 7-seater family car. In the cabin, users distinguish deflectors that can not only be opened and closed, but also rotated in any convenient direction.

most big problem in operation LADA Largus Cross were not even specific "jambs" of the car, but the attitude towards the owners of official dealer centers. Users felt that the prices for spare parts for the car were too high. In addition, some time after the purchase, suspicious noises under the hood may be heard.

The dealership told him not to worry, and he was told that the adsorption valve was touching, and this was not a warranty case. The same dealers said that when the lights started to shine in the new LADA Largus Cross, they were inspected only after filing an official complaint.

In general, it is reliable and unpretentious car, It has excellent performance and, in general, has more advantages than disadvantages.

Dacia has earned its reputation in the RF by offering a huge amount of features for its price. No model exemplifies this more than the Dacia Duster, an SUV that nearly matches the Nissan Qashqai in size but with a price tag close to Nissan Micra supermini, and running costs to match.

The latest generation is just as highly regarded as its predecessor - its starting price is slightly higher, as is the level of its standard safety equipment. Reassuringly, Dacia stuck to its nonsense roots at a time when SUVs have never been more fashionable. Skoda Karoq, SEAT Arona and Renault Captur are just some of the rapidly growing list of competitors.

With Duster who became so loved and widely recognized car, you can't blame Dacia for wanting the latest model to closely resemble the original. Indeed, while the Romanian company Renault boasts that the Duster's sheetmetal was brand new for 2018, its shape, proportions and character have hardly changed.

Look closely and you will find many new details. The Duster wears the latest Dacia signature style: a grille that is wider than before, flanked by headlights with a more three-dimensional appearance. The window line is slightly raised compared to previous version, which makes it more rigid, and the impression of strength is even more expressed in bold wheel arches in the front and in the back. Park first and second generation Dusters next to each other and today's model is more attractive.

This Duster is available with a 113-horsepower 1.6-litre petrol engine or a similarly powerful 1.5-litre. A more powerful 1.3-litre turbocharged petrol engine is new for 2019, offering either 128bhp or 128bhp. s., or 148 liters. from. As before, front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions are offered, but not yet. automatic box gears.

In true Dacia style, the range opens with the rampant Access edition, revealing the secret to the Duster's bargain price - many of the charms that SUV shoppers take for granted are missing from this model. This means that there is no receiver and air conditioning, but the standard power windows, central locking with remote control and LED daytime lights mean that Access is not completely uncivilized.

However, many will be pleased with the Essential model, which introduces air conditioning, a DAB stereo system with Bluetooth connectivity, and improved looks with front fog lamps. Even more upscale, Comfort adds sat-nav, alloy wheels, cruise control and on-board computer, while the Prestige version enlarges these alloy wheels to 17 inches and provides warning about dead center, universal camera and keyless entry.

While the optional kit of the last two models is attractive, we recommend that you pair your sat-nav-equipped smartphone with the more expensive 1.6-liter Essential petrol for a fantastic inexpensive SUV with a solid appearance and all the necessary space. Inside there is a lot of space for a family, and the interior is thought out to the smallest detail. It's even a pretty pleasant car to drive - it doesn't have the sharp reflexes of the SEAT Arona, but it's stable, grippy and doesn't lean too much into corners.

However, it's disappointing that the optional Prestige Safety Kit for the car line can't be added as an option to other models, and features like autonomous emergency braking and active cruise control are conspicuously absent. Given the Duster's attractive pricing, we don't expect it to be necessarily standard, but it seems like it's not available at all. As a result of an independent crash test, Euro NCAP experts gave last Duster 3 star safety rating.

Dacia's last place in our 2019 Driver Power owner satisfaction survey doesn't inspire confidence either, but the results are largely attributable to Duster's even cheaper Dacia Sandero stabilizer. The newest Duster certainly has a lot to offer - it's big step ahead of its predecessor in terms of design and demand, and the lack of sophisticated protective equipment- the only real stain.

Neither the purchase of a Dacia Duster nor its operating costs can harm the family budget. The Dacia Duster isn't a leader in handling, but handling is safe, responsive and enjoyable. The Dacia Duster is now more comfortable and refined than before, but not as plush as more expensive rivals. As with the original, the latest Dacia Duster delivers astounding practicality for the price. This is one area where the Dacia Duster's cost issue is an issue.

Analyzing the results of the study, we can say that Russians to a greater extent prefer domestic cars and. There is also a serious trend of increasing interest in crossovers. An increasing share of the market is occupied by the SUV category. And here, too, they mainly acquire more affordable crossovers. The reporting period clearly showed a positive trend. But experts fear that the results of this year will be much less positive. The instability of the economy, the growth of the exchange rate and the increase in the cost of cars negatively affect purchasing power. Although in the first months sales are at a fairly high level.

The best prices and conditions for the purchase of new cars

Surveys conducted among Russian car enthusiasts show that only every third of the buyers of used vehicles, when choosing a car, puts its reliability at the forefront. Most people prefer to be guided by desires and feelings: if you want, you buy! Someone proceeds simply from how much finance he has available. Others look at the vehicles of friends and neighbors when buying. And in vain! A reliable used car will save the owner from frequent calls to the service center. And, therefore, the owner will save money, time and nerves.

Autocode will tell you which used car is better to buy, based on the degree of its reliability.

What are the criteria for determining the reliability of a used car?

According to experts, reliable used cars must meet the following requirements:

• long service life;
• low failure rate;
• affordable service (repair or replacement of parts and components should occur as soon as possible and with the least number of problems);
• good susceptibility to "gray" consumables.

The opinion of the specialists of this company is most interesting to car owners from Russia for three reasons:

• Information when compiling the rating is collected by independent technical experts, therefore, the information obtained in this way is considered the most objective (for example, the British Warranty Direct does this on the basis of reports received from insurance companies, and consumer reports from the USA - according to information collected from vehicle owners).
• Approximately 10 million used cars, aged two to 11, are inspected annually
• Most brands and models of cars from the TÜV rating are supplied or have previously been supplied to our country, so you can easily buy a used car of the required modification from an ad in a newspaper or on the Internet.

The TÜV rating is based on inspections of 100 used vehicles of each model. The more faults the experts find, the lower the vehicle's position. Which cars are considered the most reliable, according to the TÜV rating, read below.

The most reliable car with mileage 2006-2007 of release

Here, the representative of the German automobile industry, the Porsche 911, is the leader. Even after ten years of operation, driving such a used car is comfortable and safe (less than 5% of the tested vehicles did not pass the technical inspection, which is an excellent indicator for this age). True, for most Russian car owners, this "iron horse" will remain a dream. To buy a used 2006 Porsche 911, depending on the condition and mileage, you will have to fork out between 1.5 and 3.5 million rubles.

The most reliable cars with mileage 2008-2009 of release

The leader is the same - a beautiful and inaccessible Porsche. In addition to the 911, experts advise paying attention to the Porsche Boxster and Porsche 993.

The most reliable cars with mileage 2010-2011 of release

In this category, manufacturers from Germany lost the palm to engineers from Japan. Experts recognize Toyota Prius and Mazda 2 as the best used cars that you should pay attention to when buying (about 12% of vehicles did not pass inspection).

The most reliable cars with mileage 2012-2013 of release

The best option among vehicles with mileage in this age category is the Toyota Prius (the figure is slightly more than 7% of vehicles that “failed” the technical inspection). Also, when buying, you should pay attention to:

• Ford Kuga;
• Porsche Cayenne;
• Audi A4.

The whole VW family deserves attention: Tiguan, Passat CC and Golf Plus.

The most reliable cars with mileage 2014-2015 of release

And now a small fly in the ointment! German experts are testing used vehicles that "run" on high-quality foreign roads. On the Russian off-road The number of used car breakdowns is on the rise. Without imploring the merits of the used cars listed above, let's turn to the opinions of experts from Russia.

Which reliable used cars are best suited for Russian roads

Kira Kaddaha, editor of autospot.ru:

"If you want to buy reliable car with mileage, feel free to give preference Japanese manufacturers: Toyota, Lexus, Infiniti. These brands are renowned for quality, especially Lexus and Toyota. But keep in mind that they are on the list of the most stolen. Also, Japanese brands are more expensive than Korean ones. Spare parts are 15-20% more expensive than those of the "Koreans". Therefore, the positions of manufacturers such as Hyundai and Kia have strengthened not only in the primary market, but also in the secondary market. In the past few years, the "Koreans" are among the leaders. They are chosen for quality, warranty (Kia has 5 years) and, of course, reliability.”

It should be noted that the opinions of domestic experts diverge from the rating of German specialists. And, most likely, this is due to the fact that not every Russian can afford to buy a 3-5-year-old BMW, Audi, Lexus or Mercedes (not to mention a Porsche). Therefore, the main task for most Russian buyers is a search for an optimal compromise between price and quality (reliability).

For those with a small amount of money the best option will become:

• Hyundai Solaris (a 3-4-year-old used car can be bought for 420-550 thousand rubles);
• Ford Focus (the cost of a used car in 2012-2013 is 450-550 thousand rubles);
• Renault Logan (purchase of a 2013-2014 Logan will cost 370-400 thousand rubles);
• "Lada Kalina" (the price of the vehicle in 2013 is 250-270 thousand rubles).

And again, nowhere without representatives of the "people's car" from Germany: "Polo", "Passat" and "Golf". Prices for 5-7-year-old vehicles of these models range from 400 to 600 thousand rubles.

Ilya Ushaev, automobile agency "Forsage":

“Usually a person, when buying a car, looks for it according to the following parameters:

• price;
• year of issue;
• mileage;
• liquid, so as not to lose in price;
• “I want it to be like new ...”;
• better with one owner in TCP;
• unbeaten and unpainted.

This is how the majority sees the vehicle they want to buy. But once people face reality, things get a lot more complicated.

Up to 150 thousand rubles. it is better to buy a Renault Logan or Hyundai Accent (if in good condition - a win-win option).

Budget up to 300 thousand rubles. - leader of Mitsubishi Lancer 9, Renault Logan, Chevrolet Aveo, Hyundai Getz.

For 450 thousand rubles. it is better to buy Ford Focus 2, Nissan Tiida, Honda Civic and Ford Fiesta (the latter is better for girls).

With a budget of 600-700 thousand rubles. there are a lot of options. For family people, this is the Skoda Octavia 1.8 (automatic box, produced from mid-2012, not to be confused with DSG box, we do not recommend it), Toyota Rav 4, Nissan Tiana (but be careful with the CVT - this thing is very difficult to diagnose, and even after diagnosis it can run 150,000 km). Someone will be satisfied with the "Volvo S40" with mileage (expensive to maintain, like any "European").

For 800,000 rubles. it is better to buy a Hyundai ix35 or Kia Sportage, Santa Fe, Lexus IS250, Honda CRV. From Europeans, you can buy "Audi A6", "Citroen C6" (restyled) and "BMW X5 (E70)".

In addition, for those who have at their disposal an amount from 800 thousand to 1.2 million rubles, according to experts, it is better to pay attention to the Chevrolet Captiva and Nissan X-Trail 2013-2015 when buying.

Summing up, it remains to be noted that if you want to buy a reliable used car, it is better to choose a vehicle of German or Japanese origin.

Buying vehicle with mileage, it should be remembered that, in addition to reliability, it is also important legal purity cars. You can check the vehicle for the presence of traffic police restrictions, find out whether it is pledged or under arrest by bailiffs, in a few minutes using the all-Russian Internet service "Autocode". Also on our website you can download a book from which you will learn how to profitably and safely buy a used car.
