SUVs in long-term tests: which models are the most reliable?

W.How carefully are our cars designed and processed? How reliable are they in everyday life? AUTO BILD is investigating this question in an endurance test. Every defect, every one, becomes more than 100,000 kilometers Glitch of a test vehicle recorded and evaluated. Defects that are not noticeable in normal use will be cleared no later than the final dismantling of our DEKRA experts discovered. Since 2014 we have been summarizing all the results of the endurance tests in a perpetual ranking. Here we have the popular vehicle segment of the SUVs singled out and in its own Ranking summarized!

They did really badly by now 18 SUVs tested only a few. So far, the Subaru XV (Grade 4-) has brought up the rear, with a whole series of problems (including: worn out coupling, Melting on pistons, corrosion on chassis parts). It didn’t go much better for the Audi Q3. In the end it had a little fewer error points than the Subaru – due to several defects (lambda probe, exhaust gas recirculation cooler, transmission), however, only the grade 4 remained.

The youngest long-term test graduate from the SUV segment is the small Kia Stonic. What place it occupies in the ranking and which model is currently in first place is shown by AUTO BILD in the gallery!
