Automotive expert Petr Ministerov believes that the most reliable crossovers under 5 years old and at a price of up to 2 million rubles in the Russian secondary market are Renault and Hyundai models.
“Renault Duster is a clear leader. In second place is the Hyundai Creta. You can also consider Renault Kaptur and Renault Arkana – like Duster, they are built on the B0 platform and are considered very reliable. “These are slightly different cars in terms of segment and positioning, but they have some common design features,” he said.
Also, the list of the most reliable SUVs, according to the expert, includes some modifications of Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage. For example, the interlocutor advises to consider buying Sportage with 2.4-liter engines, but does not recommend modifications to two-liter engines due to frequent problems with the cylinder-piston group.
“Before a significant price increase, these were the main players in the segment from 1 to 2 million rubles,” recalls Bakanov.
In addition, in the secondary market, you should pay attention to the Suzuki SX4 crossover, the auto expert praised the Japanese model for reliable engines and a good automatic transmission. Suzuki Vitara and Toyota RAV4 models with 2.5 liter engines have the same features.
In most cases, the first 3-5 years after purchase, new owners note that service cars are under warranty. However, in modern operation, this is too much due to the extended service intervals of 15,000 km, especially in urban areas.”
