In the current circumstances, when the “secondary” was filled with very dubious cars, both technically and legally, the choice of a used car should be approached very carefully. And especially when it comes to SUVs. There are many cars of this class on the market, but some of them can literally break down. Yes, and selling them after a few years is problematic. About the dark “horses” of the segment and tells the portal “AvtoVzglyad”.
There are some pretty interesting ads on marketplaces. For example, for 1,600,000 rubles they sell a 2017 Peugeot 3008. “Frenchman” is quite spacious and “full”, but you should not mess with him.
A 1.6-liter engine with an output of 150 forces accelerates the car slowly, because it is too heavy. In addition, the engine is prone to soot buildup, which causes explosion. We also note problems with the timing drive. And the suspension elements suffer from excess weight of the car, silent blocks wear out prematurely. Yes, and only front-wheel drive, which is a big minus for our citizens.
The Nissan Pathfinder in the back of the R52 is also not popular. After all, this is no longer the SUV with an old frame (index R51), but a model with a self-supporting body. In the design of the all-wheel drive – the usual electromagnetic clutch, and instead of the “machine” – a variator. At the same time, the image of the “all-terrain vehicle” remained. Therefore, many drivers drove it in different “dirty” directions. The result – almost all used ones have problems with the clutch and gearbox. The suspension also does not withstand loads.
Renault Koleos is another victim of marketing. The first generation of the “Frenchman” was much more accessible. And the second “Koleos” has grown in size and noticeably more expensive. At the same time, this is technically the Nissan X-Trail.
The increased price tag drove citizens away. And those who nevertheless bought such cars got into trouble. The variator turned out to be erratic (especially on 2017-2018 copies), and the four-wheel drive system required constant attention.
The next drawback is the abundance of electronics, the diagnosis of which requires dealer scanners. Not so simple and with body parts. Some have to wait, because the car is rare and it is not profitable for private sellers to import large quantities.
Go ahead. The Cadillac XT5 was sold until 2022, but lines were never formed for it. Connoisseurs of the brand preferred larger models, such as the Escalade. Yes, and you need to service the car at a specialized service, which will not cost a little. Add to this the problems with the supply of original spare parts. Non-original consumables are also not easy to find, since the car is rare on Russian roads. The 3.6-liter engine with a capacity of 314 liters completes the interest in the model. Of. Few are willing to pay a huge transport tax for it.
Chevrolet Captiva, like its double Opel Antara, was assembled at the GM plant in St. Petersburg. At the same time, Chevy turned out to be less popular than Opel. Here is where the main problem lies in the engine: the 2.4 liter unit of the A24 series is expensive to maintain. You often see cracks in the intake manifold. Also, the car is famous for its increased fuel consumption, requiring 15 liters of fuel per hundred kilometers, which will quite hit the owner of a used SUV.
