According to research company ALG, diesel cars retain 63% of their value 36 months after purchase. Cars with a gasoline engine manage to save only 53% of the cost, and cars with hybrid engines - 55%. This is due to the small number of diesel models on the market and their efficiency. What diesel cars are most in demand in the Russian car market?
The analytical agency "AUTOSTAT" answered this question. His specialists made rating of the best-selling diesel engines in Russia 2016 year.
10. Toyota RAV4
Average fuel consumption (combined cycle) - 6.5 l.
Introduced in the late 1990s, the Toyota RAV4 was one of the first models in a small crossover segment. Today's RAV4 is much larger than the miniature original, but the classic blend of everyday versatility, good fuel economy and reliability remains unchanged.
9. Mercedes-Benz GLC
Average consumption (mixed cycle) - 5.5 l.
The first, but not the last SUV in the ranking of popular diesel cars in 2016. The embodiment of luxury and convenience, coupled with German quality. It has a nine-speed automatic transmission and a huge number of elements that increase ride comfort, including heated front seats, four-stage head restraints for the driver and someone who rides in the front seat.
8. Hyundai Santa Fe
Average consumption (mixed cycle) - 6.7 liters.
An SUV with a large trunk, comfortable ergonomics and a thoughtful driver's seat with good lateral support and lumbar support. Those who are used to the “heavy” steering wheel should use the “Sport” mode. In Comfort mode, the steering wheel is very gentle.
7. Lexus LX
Average consumption (mixed cycle) - 9.5 liters.
This powerful handsome man will find a common language with the most impassable road. Good feedback was given to the quality of road lighting with LED optics, interior noise insulation and the function of the climate concierge, which combines climate control with heated seats, steering wheel, etc. We can say that the car adapts to the preferences of the owner.
6. Audi Q7
Average consumption (mixed cycle) - 7.5 liters.
Auto station wagon, with excellent handling, even at decent speed. Thanks to the suspension, road irregularities are almost not felt. Car owners complain about poor insulation, which is strange for a car of this level.
5. BMW X5
Average consumption (mixed cycle) - 6.2 l.
Another crossover in the top 10 best-selling diesel cars in the Russian Federation. The letter X in the name means that the model is all-wheel drive. The diesel engines installed in this representative car are not inferior to gasoline units in terms of dynamic characteristics, while they have more torque.
4. Toyota Hilux
Average consumption (mixed cycle) - 7.3 liters.
Japanese pickup with smooth ride and handling. The cabin is made both beautifully and soundly, there is enough space in it for very overall passengers. Of the shortcomings, motorists note a very noisy engine and freezing of the wiper area in the cold.
3. Renault Duster
Average consumption (mixed cycle) - 5.3 liters.
The most economical option in the top ten diesel cars. This crossover is praised for its high ground clearance and good cross, a huge interior and a very good stove (those who have to travel a lot in winter will appreciate). For anglers and travelers, the diesel Renault Duster is a reliable friend.
2. Toyota Land Cruiser Prado
Average consumption (mixed cycle) - 8.2 l.
A real tank on wheels. Neither pits nor bumps are terrible with him. At the same time, the SUV has an exquisite design, excellent ergonomics and cheap components. As some car owners say: Toyota cannot break, you can get tired of it.
1. Toyota Land Cruiser 200
Average consumption (mixed cycle) - 10.2 liters.
This maneuverable diesel SUV, responsive to the gas pedal, was purchased by 3292 people in 2016. This is almost double as compared to 2015. This car, perhaps, has the best price-quality ratio in the rating and excellent liquidity in the secondary car market. The Land Cruiser 200 is one of the best used SUVs we recently published.
