The experts of the German company Auto Bild named the most reliable crossovers of 2020 in the European market. Strictly speaking, their long-term rating is from 2014 to the present. The tests involved cars that covered 100,000 kilometers in one to three years.
Each failure, each defect was noted by test drivers and ultimately affected the assessment of the machine. The same applies to the state in which the vehicle was located after 100,000 kilometers. To evaluate this, the car was disassembled and checked for wear.
10. Peugeot 2008
The price tag for the minimum configuration is 1.2 million rubles.
A convenient and practical crossover with a 1.6-liter diesel engine, flew 100,000 kilometers without any breakdowns and almost without complaints from the drivers and experts of Auto Bild.
The only drawback: due to rattling sounds, the warranty workshop replaced the front shock absorbers. The rest of the mechanics examined the "hundred thousandth" Peugeot 2008 only for the purpose of routine inspection.
9. Fiat 500X
It is not officially sold in Russia.
This mini SUV offers a lot from an external and technical point of view. It looks stylish and dynamic enough to be a suitable machine for both men and women. Inside, the cabin is spacious enough to accommodate a family of 4 people. You can out of 5, but it will not be so comfortable.
The main advantage of the Fiat 500X is a large selection of engines, ranging from 1.4-liter gasoline to 140 or 170 hp. and ending with diesel engines of 1.3 liters (95 hp) or 1.6 liters (120 or 140 hp).
And after 100,000 kilometers, the researchers of the German edition did not reveal any significant flaws in the Fiat 500X.
Although this model does not ship to Russia, you can buy its technical twin brother Jeep Renegade prices for which starts at 1.5 million rubles.
8. Suzuki SX4 S-Cross
Offered for 1.5 million rubles.
A spacious interior, large windows, plenty of storage space in the trunk and a practical rear seat - these are the things the Auto Bild editor liked this crossover.
Small flaws in the finish - such as the shaky lever of the fuel tank cap, cheap fabric on the back of the seat or the piercing smell of plastic, when the interior is well “fried” in the sun, were criticized. But forgive them Suzuki SX4 S-Cross, since he managed to become one of the most reliable crossovers in Europe.
7. Mazda CX-5 Skyactiv-D
The initial configuration will cost 1.7 million rubles.
The Japanese handsome crossover with an AWD drive and a strong 2.2-liter diesel engine proved to be excellent except for a couple of small problems. The first was that the dealer did not update the software during the maintenance, because of which there was no timely warning about the need to replace engine oil.
The second lay in the improper installation of the brake pads, which caused problems with the front brake. However, all these problems are a human factor, and not the fault of the machine.
6. Hyundai Tucson
A new car will cost from 1.5 million rubles.
One of the most reliable crossover cars in 2020 got its name thanks to the town of Tucson, built in one of the American deserts. Thus, marketers wanted to emphasize that the Hyundai Tucson is characterized by excellent driving performance on rough terrain.
Having disassembled a car after 100,000 kilometers, Auto Bild employees did not find significant wear. In addition, they noted the efficiency of the car with a 2-liter diesel engine. Of course, 7.3 liters for every 100 km does not seem worthy of praise compared to the factory specification (4.2 liters / 100 km), but it should be noted that Tucson traveled most of its 100,000 kilometers during a fast drive on the freeway.
5. BMW X1 xDrive 20i
Basic equipment costs 2.6 million rubles.
A high-quality compact crossover with all-wheel drive and a 192 hp gasoline engine was able to satisfy all the high requirements of auto experts in the endurance test. One hundred thousand kilometers for him is just warming up.
“Nice size, plenty of space thanks to the transversely mounted engine and good all-round visibility,” said Auto Bild, the auto editor. Comfort while traveling, maneuverability in the city, safe grip - all this makes the BMW X1 xDrive 20i an ideal car for both one driver and the whole family.
4. Volvo XC60
Can be purchased for 2.3 million rubles.
This solid crossover lives up to its high price with exemplary reliability. Its three main advantages are drive, space and long-term quality. In tests Auto Bild participated model with a 190-horsepower diesel engine D4.
Experts noted that even at the end of the test the interior of the car looked like new, thanks to high-quality materials, which, moreover, can be easily cleaned. There is plenty of space inside the Volvo XC60, and even long-legged passengers won't have to ride with their knees pressed to their chests. Unsurprisingly, the XC60 is a popular touring car.
3. KIA Sportage
The minimum price for the diesel version is 1.9 million rubles.
The diesel version of this crossover with a 2.0-liter CRDi engine can withstand 100,000 kilometers without damage. The Sportage was found to be practically worn out after the final inspection. For which he received a well-deserved third place in the ranking of the most reliable crossovers.
2. Volkswagen Tiguan
Cost - from 2.1 million rubles.
A reliable German crossover with 4Motion all-wheel drive and a TSI 2.0-liter gasoline turbo engine easily traveled 100,000 kilometers without breakdowns or any significant problems.
Not without criticism. The touch screen gets dirty quickly, the noise insulation is not perfect, and the automatic robotic transmission (DSG) did not work quite smoothly. However, all this can be forgiven due to the large margin of safety, excellent performance and increased comfort of the Volkswagen Tiguan.
1. SEAT Ateca
The model is not for sale on the Russian market.
The best crossover in terms of reliability, equipped with a 1.4-liter TSI turbo engine, overcame 100,000 kilometers without any glitches.
Its weak point is the ergonomics of the driver's seat. Here, the Seat seems to have saved in comparison to the Wolfsburg models, because after long trips several drivers complained of back pain.
However, it was not possible to disassemble the SEAT Ateca for Auto Bild parts. This procedure was to be carried out at the Spanish headquarters of Seat. But the coronavirus made Spain temporarily inaccessible to visit. Therefore, Ateca continues endurance testing and winds additional kilometers on the speedometer.
