Of course, every car owner dreams of buying the most reliable and hassle-free car - so that the hood rises only when oil change, and car service signs rushed past without forcing us to taxi onto car lifts to identify the next malfunctions.
It used to be that it was with German cars that such concepts as reliability and durability were associated. But is this true in today's reality?
1. Mercedes Benz GLE
Yes, to this day, quality standards can be found in the modern automotive market, and the Mercedes Benz GLE can serve as such an example today. A completely new modification of this car is aimed at correcting old mistakes, so there can be no doubt about the reliability of this device.
To increase confidence in the durability of powertrains, you should pay attention to diesel OM 656 and gasoline M256 engines, in which no problems.
And cars on these new engines have managed to drive more than 150 thousand km. km of run. Manufacturers and all auto experts unanimously say that everything will be in order with reliability in the future, and they really want to believe, because Mercedes shows this in practice.
The popular automatic transmission 9G-Tronic has a resource declared by the manufacturer of 200 thousand km. km without repair. However, as practice shows, if you take care of such a box correctly, change the oil every 60 thousand km. km, do not test it for strength, properly operate and maintain it at an authorized dealer, the resource can be almost doubled.
The suspension is relatively simple and reliable, time-tested. Sophisticated and insanely expensive air suspension is not supplied to Russia, and perhaps it's for the best, because it costs more than one million rubles.
Therefore, today we have one of the most reliable Mercedes representatives with proven engines and gearboxes, simple and reliable suspension, as well as a very high-quality assembly, in the reliability of which there can no longer be any doubt.
2. Volkswagen Touareg, restyled version
The car has a common platform with Porsche, Audi and Lamborghini, which is very reliable in all respects.
As for the box, there is a ZF "automatic" - hardy and very high-torque, which is able to withstand enormous loads. The margin of safety of this unit is up to 3.5 tons over the curb weight of the vehicle. The operating mode of the box is able to adapt to the driver's driving style, thereby increasing the resource of power units and suspension.
The night vision system allows you to see obstacles on the road at night, to prevent emergency situations, including in automatic mode. It is not recommended to trust the control of holding in the lane - the car can be thrown into the oncoming lane. Other than that, safety is top notch.
The open-type air suspension is simple and does not present the owner with any problems for the entire service life - moreover, it saves the life of the suspension and protects it from destruction on a bad road.
The cast-iron block of the diesel 3-liter engine is reliable and durable, time-tested. For 12 years of production, no serious problems have yet been identified.
The car is equipped with intuitive safety systems, which makes it even more reliable. For example, an automatic braking system that will not allow you to break the car on an obstacle ahead.
3. mercedes benz c180 2019
It's the best-selling Class C car in the world, which means it's up to the automaker to make it reliable and predictable.
The 274th motor does not bring big problems. Chain replacement may be required at 120 thousand km. km, other problems with the engine simply do not exist by definition. In addition, it is one of the most reliable engines in the world, according to auto experts. Of course, he will not drive a million kilometers, like the earlier editions of Mercedes, but by 300-400 thousand km. km of run without serious repairs can be counted. For a modern car, this is a serious statement.
In a box with an automatic transmission 9G-Tronic nine speeds - it perfectly adapts to the driving style of a particular driver, which further saves its resource. There are no global problems and cannot be, unless, of course, you change the oil on time and, at the slightest hint of a malfunction, be serviced by an authorized dealer.
All components and assemblies are designed in such a way that even with the onset of intensive wear, the car it was possible to operate without problems for another couple of months, in general, until the complete “dying” of the unit or node. This indicates an increased degree of safety margin for all parts of the machine as a whole. If everything related to maintenance is done correctly and in a timely manner, you can own this car for a very long time without unnecessary expenses and headaches.
The AMG package includes blind spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control and a host of other safety features to make this car even safer.
Be sure to note the reliable LED optics, excellent, high-quality assembly, sound insulation, smooth acceleration and braking, skid protection, warning about possible, including the most dangerous, side collision - everything is aimed at ensuring that the reliability and safety of the car is confirmed in practice in real situations.

4. Audi a4 B9
This car should be considered with the most hassle-free 1.4-liter gasoline engine. A simple, lightweight and more than once proven reliability power unit can surprise you with high mileage and unpretentious maintenance.
With a two-liter petrol engine with 190 or 249 hp. problems should not arise either, however, the owner of such a car runs the risk of “falling into” a high transport tax.
The box here is a robotic DSG - very good, reliable, modified after the last unsuccessful versions. Under the condition of proper operation, 200-250 and even more thousand work. km without a hint of any problems. The variator is not recommended to take because of its increased "problem".
Chassis runs up to 200 thousand km. km without repair, and if you drive carefully and carefully, then even more. Audi A4 B9 owners who buy cars with mileage of 150-190 thousand km km, noted the need to replace shock absorbers - as a rule, this is the biggest waste on this car at such kilometers.
The Audi a4 B9 comes with all-wheel drive, while the resource of the transfer case assembly with the cardan shaft exceeds 250 thousand km. km, which is quite good, despite the fact that the car itself is capable of passing up to 500 thousand km. miles without major problems.
5. Opel Insignia
What is 500 thousand km for the "German"? For Opel Insignia, this is like a second wind. As the owners of this car note, during such a solid run, the most serious intervention may be the need for every 100 thousand km. km to change the oil pump gasket.
Diesel 2.0 has no problems at all with its timely maintenance. This car is complemented by a reliable transmission, which has practically no flaws throughout the entire period of operation. The only thing that can give you a headache is the adaptive Flex Ride suspension. Therefore, it is recommended to select a car with a conventional suspension - it is easier to maintain, reliable and durable.
The car as a whole requires careful attention, since its main “disease” is the leakage of process fluids through gaskets, which can lead to disastrous consequences. But in general, it is easy to monitor the condition of the gaskets - this phenomenon is quite rare, and the work of replacing the gaskets is not difficult and can be carried out in a regular service.
It is worth noting the intelligent road lighting at night, including cornering lighting, automatic light control with an approaching oncoming car, as well as a very long and trouble-free operation of the optics.
The car has 5 safety stars, according to EURO NCAP. It has a lot of space, especially in the trunk. Excellent handling, reliability and durability. Many auto experts seriously argue that the Opel Insignia is one of the most underrated cars in the world.
Meanwhile, modern cars have less resource than in the 1990s.
