Which Russian cars are the most reliable in 2021

When they talk about the most reliable Russian cars, as a rule, they mean the UAZ-3163 "Patriot", in fact, the domestic auto industry has something to boast about. By 2021, the auto concern LADA has created not only new cars for the middle class, but even premium cars and sports cars. Few people know that such cars as the Aurus-4124 Commandant (positioned as a government car), the modern Marussia F2 crossover and the real LADA Revolution I-III racing car are produced in Russia.

We conducted a study based on the feedback of experts and thousands of amateur drivers to determine the most reliable Russian car.

Modern cars produced under the LADA trademark can hardly be called backward from European competitors for a long time. The stereotypes that domestic cars leave much to be desired are becoming a thing of the past, thanks to such models as:

1. Lada Granta.
2. Lada Vesta.
3. GAZ 31105 "Volga".
4. UAZ Hunter.
5. Lada Largus.
6. Lada Priora.
7. Chevrolet Niva.
8. Lada 4 × 4 Urban.
9. Lada XRAY Cross.

Each of these cars deserves the title of the most reliable vehicle in the Russian car industry. Below we will tell you more about each of them.

Lada granta

The people's car in 2021 has become not only more spacious, but also much more comfortable. Equipped with not the latest technology, but no worse than foreign cars of the middle class, it receives more and more positive reviews from drivers.

In 2021, one of the most reliable cars in the Russian automotive industry is equipped with many functions that increase the safety of all road users. In different trim levels, the car is supplemented with options such as:

• ABS + BAS for emergency braking;
• EBD driver and passenger airbags;
• fastening child seats ISOFIX;
• immobilizer;
• standard alarm

The car shows excellent handling characteristics both when driving in dry and wet weather, responsive to the steering wheel. At the same time, the driver and passengers are well protected in the cabin, thanks to the use of high-strength metal alloys, which make the car resistant to collisions.

Lada Vesta

The B + class Lada Vesta is the flagship of the domestic auto concern, which has become even better after the 2021 restyling. Its advantages are not only diode optics, modern multimedia and new options, but also increased safety for passengers and drivers.

Now this Russian car also bears the title of one of the most reliable, thanks to:

1. Galvanized exterior body panels and roof.
2. High-quality paintwork.
3. Active lane markings in the reversing camera.
4. Increased visibility.
5. Good handling thanks to the energy-intensive chassis with good ride quality.

A large number of steering settings will allow you to maximize the car "for yourself" and ride comfortably on any surface. Being adapted to the realities of domestic roads, the manufacturer equipped the vehicle with a ground clearance of 178 mm, which is practically a record among cars of this class. The chassis has also been improved, which meets European standards in quality.

GAZ 31105 "Volga"

GAZ 31105 "Volga" is a classic of the domestic auto industry, which still finds its fans. This is one of the most reliable Russian cars, which differs in:

• pivot-free suspension (which does not need to be injected);
• anti-roll bars;
• modern checkpoint.

Despite the fact that the last car of this brand came off the assembly line in 2007, it is still popular with experienced drivers and is considered one of the most reliable.

UAZ Hunter

UAZ Hunter is a car that in its essence simply cannot be unreliable. It was created specifically for the most extreme off-road conditions and is widely used by the special services and the Russian army. The latest 2020 model is equipped with:

• all-metal roof;
• a modernized power unit (80 hp) with an elastic suspension and a 5-speed manual transmission;
• closed cooling system;
• power steering;
• safe "split" steering column;
• one-piece windshield.

The Hunter is a specialized machine designed to perform specific tasks, and therefore internal comfort plays little role in it. But in terms of reliability and cross-country ability in Russia, it cannot be found equal.

Lada largus

The Lada Largus is a C-class car that will cope equally well with the tasks of a family car and a commercial compact van. It is also called the "machine for workaholics", due to the ability to take on board a large amount of cargo. The purpose of the car simply obliges it to be reliable, which the designers took into account when creating it, equipping the car:

• front-wheel drive platform B0 manufactured by Renault-Nissan;
• classic MacPherson struts in front;
• semi-independent U-beam at the back;
• a wheel with a "gear-rack" scheme;
• hydraulic booster;
• front ventilated disc brakes and rear - drum;
• anti-lock braking system ABS.

Thanks to these characteristics, Lada Largus has become a direct competitor to the French Renault Dokker, which, although somewhat more aesthetic, cannot boast of such practicality for Russian roads.

Lada priora

Lada Priora is the dream of any active young Russian who has just embarked on the path of success and, perhaps, the most famous Russian car. Its reliability is ensured by modern security systems:

1. LED tail lights and brake lights.
2. Reinforced spars.
3. Reinforced front seat frame.
4. Side airbags for the driver and front passenger.
5. Liners between bumper and body made of material that effectively absorb rear impacts.
6. System of exchange rate stability.
7. A body that complies with EuroNCap standards.
8. Braking assistant.
9. ISOFIX child seat attachment system.

Such a car, although not replete with luxury, but thanks to these characteristics, driving it can feel almost like in a tank.

Chevrolet niva

The compact SUV Chevrolet Niva is widely used even as a police car, which is already an indicator of its reliability. A huge advantage was the high cross-country ability and durability of the car's undercarriage. Additional safety options include airbags, emergency braking system, immobilizer and central locking.

Lada 4 × 4 Urban

Lada 4 × 4 Urban is presented as a kind of urban SUV. It retains all the reliability characteristics of the NIVA in the form of ground clearance, as well as many other features. For example, in this version of the car:

• removable hitch;
• power steering;
• improved transmission;
• anti-lock braking system;
• fastening child seats;
• strong seat belts, etc.

Thanks to this, the Urban model can be considered one of the most reliable and safe among Russian-made cars.

Lada xray cross

Lada Xray Cross is a modern crossover of a domestic auto concern. Its main task was to compete directly with European models of this class, and our engineers managed to embody the best ideas. One of the main advantages of the car is the increased safety that meets European requirements:

• ground clearance 203 mm;
• ABS system;
• disc brakes;
• airbags;
• stability on the road thanks to the ESC control system;
• EPA-GLONASS system for emergency notification, which works even when the battery is off.

All this, together with high comfort and engine power, makes the Lada Xray Cross car desirable even for lovers of European business and premium cars.
