Sergey Zinoviev, automotive expert of the magazine “Behind the Wheel” It has been said about the disadvantages of the new Hyundai Santa Fe crossover. According to him, cars mostly come to Russia from South Korea.
“The youngest and most affordable version has a naturally aspirated 2.5 engine (194 hp) paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. “Despite the fact that the engine has a complex combined injection system consisting of two rows of injectors, this combination of engine and gearbox seems to be the best in terms of reliability,” the expert said.
According to him, the basic configuration of the car already has ten airbags, climate control, heated steering wheel and all seats.
In addition to the complex engine, there is another drawback – high prices for the car. The cost of the initial version starts from 5.7 million rubles.

So the third generation Toyota RAV4 was officially sold in Russia only with 2.0 and 2.4 liter gasoline engines. The engines are reliable, but they are demanding on the quality of the oil. Saving on oil accelerates the failure of the timing drive, and the piston rings are already quite quickly overgrown with carbon deposits.
After 60-100 thousand km. The water pump fails and the crankshaft seals leak. In an all-wheel drive system, the sensitive element exposed to penetrating moisture is the clutch bearing. In the steering system, the joints of the intermediate shaft and plastic rack bushings wear out the fastest.
