The expert identified five cars that will travel more than 300 thousand km without serious breakdowns.
The most durable vehicles were named by the head of the wheeled vehicle evaluation department of the Alfa-Leasing Group, Valery Antufiev.
In a conversation with Rossiyskaya Gazeta, the expert singled out the Ford Kuga with a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter engine.
This engine is simple and reliable. In addition, it is allowed to use 92-octane gasoline, which allows additional savings on fuel.
The expert included the “Koreans” Kia Rio and Hyundai Solaris among the hardy cars.
But these cars are not in the first place because the factory catalytic converter on these models can break down after 80 thousand km. This is fraught with serious engine failure.
The popular Renault Logan entered the rating. The average service life of these cars reaches 400 thousand km.
The expert also suggested paying attention to the Volkswagen Polo and Skoda Rapid with a 1.6 liter engine.
Their resource will last for an average of 350-400 thousand km if maintenance is carried out correctly and in a timely manner.
Another option is the second-generation Ford Focus. But the specialist recommends paying attention to diesel engines, as they are more durable in these models.
