Automobile expert Ryazanov lists cars with the most reliable engines – Rossiyskaya Gazeta

“In fact, almost all modern engines have a service life of several decades, it all depends on the intensity of operation, timely maintenance, as well as the quality of components and consumables that change during the process of car ownership.

In addition, the engine design plays an important role: gasoline engines are, in some cases, more durable than diesel engines. The most reliable models are considered to be Toyota and BMW, Mitsubishi and Honda, Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen with six-cylinder engines that do not have unnecessary vibrations.

For example, the top version of the Volkswagen Passat B7 is equipped with a six-cylinder naturally aspirated engine with a displacement of 3.6 liters and a power of 300 hp. It remains one of the most popular cars on the Russian secondary market. Six-cylinder engines were also installed in BMWs of the third, fifth, sixth and seventh series,” the specialist noted.

Previously, car experts interviewed by RG talked about which cars are best to consider for purchase with a budget of 1 million rubles. Criteria to rely on: not a robot, but an automatic transmission and a mileage of up to 200,000 km. At the same time, it is better not to consider cars older than 2013.
