Crossovers for those who don't like service stations
In a world where a trip to a service station has become almost a ritual, there are crossovers that only their happy owners and… bored mechanics know about. These models can drive for years without serious investment.
Toyota RAV4: reliability at the highest level
Toyota RAV4 has long been a symbol of the "eternal" car. The 2.0 and 2.5 liter engines are especially praised. With regular oil changes and careful driving, they go 300-400 thousand kilometers without major repairs. Suspension, gearbox, electronics - everything works and does not require visits to the dealer.
Honda CR-V Reliability
Stability is the CR-V's second name. The Japanese crossover survives more than one set of brakes before it gives any reason to look under the hood. The chassis swallows potholes, the CVT (if you don't torture it) lasts for decades. The secret is in the simplicity of the design and proven solutions.
Subaru Forester: all-wheel drive and no whims
Many are afraid of Subaru for its "boxer" engines and complex gearboxes. But the Forester with an atmospheric engine and a simple "automatic" or manual transmission is a tough nut to crack. The main thing is not to pour oil on chance, and the car will thank you with reliability. The all-wheel drive works like a clock, even after years.
Mitsubishi Outlander Reliability
The Outlander is not a delight, but its repair book is empty. Especially if we are talking about the version with a 2.4-liter engine. The Mitsubishi's CVT has long been brought to mind, and the body and electrics withstand Russian winters without hysteria.
Mazda CX-5: style and reliability
Stylish, controllable, but also very durable. Mazda CX-5 with a naturally aspirated 2.0 or 2.5 engine almost never breaks down. Consumables - and that's it. Some service station mechanics joke: "The CX-5 arrived - it means just to have a coffee."
What is a crossover?
A crossover is a car with increased ground clearance, on a passenger car platform, but having certain features typical of an SUV - in particular, the appearance, the high seating position of the driver and passengers.
Conclusion
These five crossovers are a real find for those who want to drive and not think about constant repairs. Of course, there is no car that does not require attention at all, but these models definitely give their owners more freedom and confidence on the road.
