These 50 Cars Wouldn’t Break Down Even After 400,000 Kilometers

48. Lexus RX350 / 450h

The Lexus RX was not launched in the European market until autumn 2000. It is part of Toyota’s premium brand and has been sold as a luxury sports model since 1997. The first two generations of the RX were sold in Japan as Toyota Harrier. The latest variant, the RX350 / 450h, is designed to offer even more. There is hardly any difference in reliability between the gasoline and hybrid versions. No wonder the Lexus RX already has a large fan base. Here too

48. Lexus RX350 / 450h

47. Honda CR-V

The compact SUV from Japanese manufacturer Honda has been in production since 1996. Now in its fifth generation, the SUV has long been available with a 5-speed manual gearbox. Incidentally, the model name CR-V stands for “Comfortable Runabout Vehicle”. As a compact crossover model, this Honda is naturally equipped with all kinds of useful features and very reliable engines. For example, the proven 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine is recommended. Not everyone likes the bulky design, but those looking for a long-haul companion can perhaps overlook this

47th Honda CR-V

46. Lexus ES 350/450

The Lexus ES has been a popular mid-range sedan from Japanese premium car brand Lexus for many generations. In Japan, it was initially sold as the Toyota Windom. Anyone familiar with the Toyota Camry or its sister model, the Toyota Vista, will recognize an old acquaintance here. The ES 350/450 makes up for its perhaps somewhat bland design with its durability. Its owners consider it a sturdy and happy investment. If you don’t put too much stock in a powerful engine, you should go for it

46. Lexus ES 350/450

45. Toyota Camry

Camry means “crown” and Toyota used it to designate the switch from rear- to front-wheel drive in the mid-size class. Although the first generation was sold in hatchback version, the family model is now also available. Actually, there is not much to say about it. The Toyota Camry is already a classic among fans of reliable cars. If you want to play it safe and aren’t looking for chassis, this model will satisfy you 100%

45th Toyota Camry

44. Toyota 4Runner

The first 4Runner was developed from the TrailBlazer/Trekker/Wolverine models, which in turn were based on the Toyota Hilux pickup. This is interesting because all of these models have been used off-road for a long time. The Toyota 4Runner is a particularly compact off-roader and therefore one of the most popular cars among off-road enthusiasts. Not only is it extremely capable off-road, but it is also offered with a range of engines that not only offer adequate torque, but are also robust enough to last for years on the trail. Incidentally, the 4Runner is manufactured at the Toyota plant in Tahara, Aichi Prefecture, and since 2009 also at the Hino plant in Hamura. The fact that this model has had a large fan community in the USA since 1984 speaks for itself

44th Toyota 4Runner

43. Lincoln Town Car

The Lincoln Town Car is Lincoln’s flagship model and was first launched in 1981. Its popularity in the US is due to the fact that it is perceived as a status symbol because of its looks, but it is still quite affordable. Since the Lincoln Town Car has the same platform as the well-known Ford Crown Victoria, you can also expect similar driving characteristics. Mind you, in the luxury version. The fact that the Lincoln Town Car has been one of the most popular models among Americans for 13 years and that the 4.6-liter V8 engine has barely changed in that time says it all. It’s simply a good and, above all, durable car!”

43rd Lincoln Town Car

42. Nissan Titan XD

Unfortunately, the Nissan Titan is only sold in North America. This is because the built-in Cummins diesel engines not only ensure robustness, long service life and high reliability. An optional 5.6-liter V8 gasoline engine is part of the standard equipment, which will not let the owner down for hundreds of thousands of kilometers either. However, we still prefer the 5.0-liter Cummins turbodiesel V8. Incidentally, the titan among Nissan models has been on the market since 2004 and shares a platform with the Nissan Armada and Infiniti QX. It’s good-looking too: it’s available in both a rear-wheel-drive city version and an all-wheel-drive model

42nd Nissan Titan XD

41. Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD

The Chevrolet Silverado can often be seen crossing the country in the U.S., and not without reason. This pickup from U.S. automaker General Motors ranks just behind the Ford F-Series in its class. Chevy and Ford have long been competing when it comes to these pickups, going head to head. Both brands have a loyal following. However, the Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD is just one of many pickups Chevy has produced to date. It is considered durable and nearly indestructible. Just take a look at the odometer on these rugged pickups. In most cases, it has been in the six-figure range for a long time with no complaints from the owner. Anyone familiar with the F-250 Super Duty can imagine what’s in store with the Chevrolet Silverado

41st Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD

40. Honda Odyssey

The Honda Odyssey has been humming along the roads around the world since 1994. However, there are different models depending on the country. The first generation of the popular minivan was based on the Honda Accord and was optionally available with all-wheel drive. In addition to the 2.2-liter and 2.3-liter gasoline engines known in Europe, the 3.0-liter V6 gasoline engine J30A was also used as a powerplant. These flexible 3.5-liter V6 engines can easily cover 400,000 kilometers without problems. Not only is the engine considered to be extremely robust, but the transmission and the rest of the mechanicals are as reliable as a Swiss watch. The only drawback in the eyes of some may be the design, but anyone looking for a reliable family car will be well served with the Honda Odyssey

40th Honda Odyssey

39. Acura RDX

Acura’s crossover SUV is one of the most reliable cars in its class. The sales figures speak for themselves from many satisfied customers and no wonder. The Acura RDX is made for a stressful automotive life. That means it’s powered by a 3.5-liter 279 hp 3.5-liter V6 and has a very stable engine. With regular maintenance, this SUV can easily surpass the 400,000-mile mark. The standard 6-speed automatic transmission also contributes to the maximum mileage. By the way, the Acura RDX is the little brother of the Acura MDX and is manufactured at Honda’s Marysville plant. If you get the idea, it looks like the Honda CR-V, but is very different inside

39th Acura RDX

38. Chevrolet Impala

Fancy name, fancy car. The Chevrolet Impala is a classic that has been produced in the USA uninterruptedly since 1958: after the demise of the Bel Air in 1976, the Impala became the manufacturer’s flagship model. If you want to choose not just a car, but a true life companion, the Impala is a good choice. Classic, down-to-earth and still making waves. However, to really get every mile out of this model, you should opt for the 305 hp 3.6L DOHC V6 engine instead of the standard 2.5L DOHC ECOTEC 4-cylinder. It comes with a smooth 6-speed automatic transmission

38th Chevrolet Impala

37. Toyota Corolla

The Corolla name is used by Toyota for a whole range of different car models, but it made its way from the lower mid-range to the compact class. For a long time, the Toyota Corolla was rightly considered THE long-haul car of Japan. In numerous cases, the small sedans surpassed the 400,000 kilometer mark. This already applies to older models from 1989 onwards, and the Corolla naturally benefits from the fact that the engines have been further developed since then. Conveniently, this applies to all models, regardless of where they were manufactured

37th Toyota Corolla

36. Honda Pilot

The Honda Pilot is currently one of the best-selling vehicles in its class in North America. There are good reasons for this. Originally, the Pilot was introduced as a five-door SUV and successor to the less successful Honda Passport. Both models are based on the Isuzu Wizard. Unlike many SUVs in the luxury class, however, the Pilot seems quite reliable in terms of its lifespan and maximum mileage. But beware: we’re talking about the new generations. As for the latest version, we’ll have to wait and see what our judgment is. Although this Pilot looks promising in terms of driving performance

36. Honda Pilot

35. Audi Allroad

The second generation Audi A4 Allroad was introduced at the 2016 North American International Auto Show as an off-road version of the Audi A4 Avant. This generation hit the market in the spring of 2009, but has been visually revised in the meantime. Comparable to the VW Passat, the crossover variant of the Audi A4 has proven to be quite rugged. The Audi Allroad achieves high mileage with almost all engines. As long as it is regularly maintained

35th Audi Allroad

34. Scion xB

Toyota’s Scion was specifically designed to appeal to younger customers. The pilot project for the Japanese domestic market in 1997 initially targeted only dealers in the United States, Canada and some Middle Eastern countries. However, the Scion brand was primarily produced in Japan. Like many experiments, the Scion polarized opinion. Some thought it was great, others thought it was terrible. Whichever way you look at it, you have to hand it to Toyota. The Japanese have once again developed a very reliable car. If you believe the happy customers, you can expect to go over 400,000 miles

34th Scion xB

33. Nissan Patrol

This Nissan SUV has been in production since 1951, but did not receive its casual name until the 1960s. It was later marketed in Japan as the Nissan Safari. The classic was available with wheelbases of varying lengths. Anyone familiar with the Toyota Land Cruiser will find its counterpart in the Nissan Patrol. The two competitors have similar engines, which are considered nearly indestructible, both are impeccably finished and are great off-roaders. In other words, this is not a sleek urban Jeep, but a true off-roader capable of tackling any terrain

33. Nissan Patrol

32. GMC Sierra 2500HD

If you don’t just want to drive your pickup around town to show off, but really need a powerful truck for hauling and towing heavy loads, you should take a look at the pickup model from U.S. automaker GMC, a subsidiary of General Motors. The Sierra is technically related to the Chevrolet Silverado and has been on the market since 1975. Less well known than the similar Chevy or Ford, GMC Sierra trucks are nevertheless considered an institution in the U.S. market. A solid body with a powerful engine make it a faithful companion for tough jobs

32nd GMC Sierra 2500HD

31. Mazda 6

Mazda’s production plants in Fuchū and Hiroshima, Ujina, Minami-ku and Hōfu manufacture models for customers all over the world. The Japanese manufacturer is not only able to put its feet on the ground with a Camry, but also knows how to offer luxury. In the case of the six-seater, that means sitting in a comfortable sedan with plenty of movement under the hood. Every stomp on the accelerator produces a sense of euphoria. And yet Mazda manages the balance needed to keep even safety-conscious drivers on their toes

31. Mazda

30. Toyota Tacoma

The second-generation Toyota Tacoma was named Truck of the Year by Motor Trend magazine in 2005 for good reason. Incidentally, the pickup is named after the U.S. city of Tacoma in the state of Washington. The model has been in production since 1995 and, of course, is constantly being tuned. However, it must be described as solid rather than outstanding. On the one hand, the Tacoma offers great payload and off-road capability, but lags behind its competitors in overall performance and interior equipment. Although it is very fuel efficient, it is a bit cramped. The standard engine is a 2.7-liter four-cylinder, 180 lb-ft of torque, mated to a five-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission. A 3.5-liter V-6 (265 lb-ft) is optional and mated to a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission. When properly equipped, the V-6 can tow 2,000 pounds (660 kg). However, if you’re looking for something wilder, you should opt for a high-performance suspension and the TRD Pro trim, also more upscale

30th Toyota Tacoma

29. Ford F-250 Super Duty

As of 2014, the Ford F-series had already been the best-selling car in the U.S. for 32 years and in 2010 ranked second worldwide behind the Toyota Corolla, with 34 million units produced at that time. The F-series has been available as a pick-up, bus or truck since 1948. After 13 generations, we still love this car. Because the F-250 Super Duty is a real elephant. From the frame to the engines, every part is designed to withstand maximum loads. From the beginning, it was assumed that the truck would be able to devour many miles in daily use. The odometer on this workhorse often only reaches the 400,000 mark

29. Ford F-250 Super Duty

28. toyota Sequoia

The Sequoia is the largest SUV currently sold under the Toyota name. It is only slightly larger than the Land Cruiser, offers room for eight passengers instead of seven and also has additional storage space behind the last row of seats. Unlike the Land Cruiser, however, all-wheel drive is somewhat weaker. Despite this, the Sequoia is a very reliable and robust SUV, typical of Toyota. Its engine, a 5.7-liter V8 with 6-speed automatic gearbox, survives the harshest conditions and can even be neglected for a while. Which is not to say that we advise it. But a reasonably well-maintained car should easily reach the 400,000 kilometer mark. Given its size, it naturally consumes quite a bit of fuel. By the way, the Sequoia is manufactured in Princeton, Indiana. Price-wise, it falls between the smaller 4Runner and Toyota’s flagship Land Cruiser

28th Toyota Sequoia

27. Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD

Even in current models, the Chevrolet Silverado still looks like a typical American pickup truck. That means: a driver’s cab that offers room for a second bench seat. A powerful engine. And, of course, the open cargo area with ladder frame. You can also choose between two or four doors for the double cab model. Since the Silverado 3500HD with the 6.6-liter Duramax® turbodiesel V can really handle it all and is well over the 400,000 mark, it is considered an extremely reliable and therefore popular heavy truck. The Silverado 3500HD is equipped as standard with the 6.0-liter Vortec® gasoline V8. It also devours miles like jelly beans

27. Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD

26. 28. Honda Civic

The automaker’s compact-class Honda Civic was introduced in 1972 and is now in its tenth model generation. As Honda’s mass model, it has been produced more than 18.5 million times to date. in 2014, the Honda Civic was the sixth best-selling car of all time. For the European market, the three- and five-door sedans are manufactured in the U.K. and the coupes in the U.S. Like the Toyota Corolla, the Honda Civic has always been considered a safe choice for down-to-earth people. It’s a small, reliable and economical car that does what you’d expect from a car. It’s not especially exciting. But its fans love the Honda Civic for its powerful engine and customization potential. And you can’t go far wrong with a used Honda Civic. By the way, the three- and five-door sedans for the European market are made in the U.K., the coupes in the U.S.

26th Honda Civic

25. Ford F-150

This reliable American workhorse was launched in 1948 with three different models. More than half a century later, the current and thus 13th generation of the pick-up model was launched on the market. The Ford F-150 can be seen everywhere in the USA, on every ranch and in many small businesses. No wonder the Ford F-series is considered an institution in the automaker’s home country. And for years it has been the best-selling vehicle in the North American market. Generations of Americans have grown up knowing they can rely on this car in their daily lives. Day after day and mile after mile. As always, good care prolongs the already decent mileage

25th Ford F-150

24. Chevrolet Equinox

The Chevrolet Equinox not only looks nice and cheerful, it’s a solid midsize SUV. Although General Motors markets it as a compact SUV despite its length of just under 4.80 meters. This may be due to its practical and well-insulated cabin. The well-balanced chassis leaves nothing to be desired. One of the three turbo engines runs under the hood. The 1.5-liter and 1.6-liter 170 hp diesel engines are equipped with a six-speed automatic gearbox, while the 2.0-liter 252 hp engine has nine gears. A 7.0-inch infotainment touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is standard. Those who want it can upgrade to an 8.0-inch screen, automated emergency braking or a lane departure warning system. However, the Chevrolet Equinox, which was launched in 2005, is only available in North America

24th Chevrolet Equinox

23. Saab 9000

This is an obituary. Unfortunately, the Swedish company’s Saab 9000 is no longer in production. It is one of the best examples of the Swedish car industry’s strengths in the 1980s and 1990s. It is not particularly attractive, but it is sturdy as a tank. The Saab 9000 was developed in 1979, but didn’t reach the U.S. market until 1985, and its owners loved it dearly for the loyalty it showed them. It was built on Fiat’s Tipo Quattro platform, which it shared with three other Fiat models, and offered a decent range of powerful engines. Which has a dejavu: Many body parts of the 9000 are identical in construction to those of the Fiat Croma, Lancia Thema and Alfa Romeo 164 models

Saab 9000

22. Toyota Land Cruiser

Soon after its market launch in 1951, the Toyota Land Cruiser earned a reputation as a reliable and nearly indestructible vehicle, especially in Africa, Latin America and the Arab world. Over the decades, the Japanese vehicle has been offered in a wide variety of versions. Along with the Toyota Hilux, the Toyota Land Cruiser is the first vehicle to reach the North Pole. (Of course, with fairly major modifications to the chassis, wheels and engine.) Outside the U.S., the Toyota Land Cruiser is considered one of the most rugged off-road vehicles you can buy. They are built like tanks, have excellent AWD systems and engines that are nearly immortal. This is especially true of their 4.2-liter diesel units. Not for nothing is the Toyota Land Cruiser the vehicle of choice for bush excursions, safaris or UN missions in war zones

22nd Toyota Land Cruiser

21. Toyota Prius

Latin speakers know that “prius” means “first.” But car enthusiasts also know that the Toyota Prius is definitely first in some areas. The “Hybrid Synergy Drive” gasoline/electric hybrid drive car model is considered the most popular hybrid. Among other things, because it is very reliable. The first generation of this vehicle was launched in Japan at the end of 1997 and was placed in the compact class market segment. The hybrid engine has proven itself many times over. The only disadvantage compared to the Camry is that you have to change the battery several times before the engine fails. As the cost of the battery packs is still quite high, the reliability of the motor suffers accordingly. Nevertheless, we can highly recommend it

21. Toyota Prius

20. 22. VW Golf 4 TDI

After the VW Golf, a whole generation became famous in Germany. For a long time, it was the car of the moment that everyone could agree on: Tuners, teachers, housewives and rich kids. It has been in production since 1974 and in 2019 entered its eighth generation with more than 35 million cars. Many enthusiasts still say that the standard 1.9-liter TDI engines in the four-cylinder Golf are among the best engines Volkswagen has ever made. These turbocharged diesel units were quite flexible, but also robust. That’s why it’s still worth keeping an eye on the used cars, some of which already have quite a few miles on the clock

19. Toyota Sienna

The Toyota Sienna was designed as a van specifically for long-distance travel. Manufactured exclusively for the US market since 1997, it was built on the revised Camry platform. In the U.S. it followed the Previa model. However, the front-wheel drive design was more conventional than that of its predecessor. The fact that the Toyota Sienna is one of the most reliable vans on the market also stems from the fact that many New York cab companies use it as a high-capacity cab. Unlike many of its competitors, it has a great 4WD system and its construction is really as stable and robust as you would expect from a long-haul vehicle.

19. Toyota Sienna

18. Toyota Highlander

Toyota’s Highlander was first introduced to international customers at the New York International Auto Show in 2000 and has since been sold in Japan, its home country, the U.S. and Australia. In Australia, however, it is sold under the Toyota Kluger name, as the Hyundai Terracan is sold there under the Highlander name. Since 2000, the Highlander has undergone several facelifts and now has much more cabin space. The rugged base of this SUV has not changed. In addition, the 3.5-liter V6 engine is too reliable and outperforms many of its competitors in this respect

18th Toyota Highlander

17. Ford Taurus

The Ford Taurus is one of those classic cars that really thank you if you take care of it regularly. The 288 hp 3.5-liter V6 engine easily reaches the 400,000 mark. That’s why it’s best to forgo Eco Mode with the 2.0-liter Ecoboost inline four-cylinder or the SHO’s 3.5-liter Ecoboost V6. The Taurus engine is equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission, which also has a positive effect on durability. By U.S. standards, the Taurus is considered a mid-range model. There have been seven model series since 1986. The sedan was joined by a family model in 2007. Since the fifth generation, the Ford Taurus has been considered a full-size car. If you take a look at Hollywood movies, you’ll notice that the Taurus is the standard vehicle for many authorities, especially the FBI. That should be enough of a seal of approval.

17th Ford Taurus

16. Subaru Legacy

Subaru’s boxer engines are known for their ability to cope with the harshest conditions. As usual, the Subaru Legacy is also equipped with a boxer engine and all-wheel drive. Subaru’s mid-range model has been in production since 1989. The current sixth generation of the model is not available in Germany. The engines offered in Germany range from 76 kW (1.8-liter four-cylinder since 1989) to 195 kW/265 hp (2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, since 2009). The Subaru Legacy comes standard with all-wheel drive and has a 2.5- or 3.6-liter engine equipped with a Lineartronic® CVT transmission. Depending on your tastes and needs, you can opt for a notchback as in the sedan or station wagon

16th Subaru Legacy

15. Hyundai Elantra

The Hyundai Elantra replaced the Hyundai Lantra in the mid-size class in the summer of 2000. In Europe, the two previous generations were already circulating under the Lantra name, as Lotus Cars wanted to avoid confusion between the Elantra and the Elan model among buyers. Although the Elantra was only produced until 1992, the name was retained. Only when the entire Elan production line was sold to Hyundai’s then competitor Kia in 1996, the Elantra generation launched in the mid-2000s was also given this name in Europe. This nice Hyundai Elantra small car is a solid car that is often forgotten just because there are so many good models in its class. It has a spacious and sensibly designed cabin and very comfortable seats. It also has a decent trunk. In terms of technology and safety, buyers can choose from a wide range of features. This Hyundai is also available in a hatchback version, the Elantra GT, which offers considerably more cargo space and a more powerful base engine. In one respect, however, the Elantra is a class favorite: it is simply very reliable, especially the 2018 generation.

15. Hyundai Elantra

14. 16. Jeep Wrangler

The direct predecessor of the Wrangler is the Jeep CJ. However, both models are historically based on the Willys MB, an off-road vehicle built by Willys-Overland for the U.S. government during World War II. However, to give the new Jeep Wrangler a contemporary feel, designers and engineers have generously revised its appearance. To modernize it, the windshield has also been tilted a bit more, but very carefully so as not to destroy Jeep’s classic and popular profile. And, of course, you can still drive the Jeep without a roof. That’s part of its charm, regardless of equipment.

14. Jeep Wrangler

13. 15. Ford Crown Victoria

A very cool car, the Ford Crown Victoria. But that’s not the only reason it’s the most famous police car in the world. It’s also incredibly popular in the Middle East. This Ford, which was offered in the North American market in the full-size category from early 1992 until the summer of 2011, regularly exceeded 500,000 kilometers on the odometer. As soon as the Ford Crown Victoria is retired as a police car, it is mostly used as a cab.Why? It runs and runs.

13th Ford Crown Victoria

12. Dodge Ram Cummins

When Dodge and Cummins came up with the idea of partnering for this pickup, they made the right decision. The Dodge Ram Cummins quickly became a sales success. No wonder, as it benefits from the talents of both brands. Chrysler’s Dodge Ram first hit the market in 1981 and was part of the Dodge D-series. It was sold primarily in the United States and Canada. However, until the 1990s, Dodge pickups were considered somewhat bland trucks, even in the Midwest. With this 1994 series, the image took a 180-degree turn. The huge offset grille became a trademark and reminded the connoisseur of the considerable engine power behind it. Two variants of the Cummins engine can be found in the latest Dodge Ram models. The 5.9-liter turbocharged inline 6-cylinder and its newer 6.7-liter version. Both have devilish revs and deliver excellent peak performance

12th Dodge Ram Cummins

11. Mercedes-Benz E-Class W124

The Mercedes-Benz E-Class W 124 was originally considered by Daimler-Benz to be a “mid-range model series” when it was launched in 1984. However, the nomenclature of Mercedes passenger cars changed in mid-1993 and the W 124 continued to be known as the E-Class until 1997. With this model, Mercedes Benz introduced the updated version of its legendary diesel engines from its predecessor, the W123. As a result, the models continue to promise very high reliability and longevity. If you invest a little care and maintenance, you can easily drive your Mercedes for more than 400,000 kilometers

11th Mercedes-Benz E-Class W124

10. Jeep Grand Cherokee

If you’re a true off-roader, you can’t go past Chrysler’s Jeep Grand Cherokee. The Grand Cherokee belongs to the upper-mid class and is one of the best SUVs when it comes to rough terrain. Everything about this model, available since 2016, is specifically designed for the trail. From the 295 hp 3.6-liter V6 and eight-speed automatic transmission to the rear-wheel drive. However, the Jeep can also be upgraded with a 240 hp turbodiesel or a 360 hp 5.7-liter V8. Three types of all-wheel drive are also available. While it can get dirty on the outside, the driver will find a tidy cabin with touchscreen infotainment and optional Wi-Fi. Perhaps one of the reasons why big-city housewives also like to drive Grand Cherokees. By the way, the Grand Cherokee for Europe was manufactured in Magna Steyr (Austria) until 2010. Its origins date back to 1983, when AMC engineers designed a successor to the Cherokee

10th Jeep Grand Cherokee

9. Mazda MX-5

The Mazda MX-5 sparked a revolution among roadsters in the early 1990s. With 1,000,000 units sold between February 1989 and April 2016, this sports car from Japanese manufacturer Mazda is considered the world’s best-selling roadster. Incidentally, in the U.S. the MX-5 is known as the Mazda Miata, while in Japan it was marketed as the Mazda Roadster. At first glance, it may come as a surprise that we present the MX-5 here as a particularly sustainable model. But for a sports car, the Mazda has an incredibly long service life. This is due to its extremely simple mechanicals, powered by a 2.0-liter Skyactiv inline four-cylinder engine. If you take the Mazda to the garage from time to time, you’ll put a lot of miles on it

9th Mazda MX-5

8. Nissan Altima

The Nissan Altima has been on the market since 1992 and is sold primarily in the U.S. as a mid-range model. It sits between the Nissan Sentra and Nissan Maxima in the Japanese automaker’s lineup. The successor to the Nissan Stanza is a powerful sedan that can be boosted in every possible direction. In the center is a very comfortable cabin. In terms of engines, there is a choice of a 182 hp 2.5-liter four-cylinder or a 270 hp 3.5-liter V-6. Both are equipped with a CVT. If you want to play around a bit, pick up the SR, which has a slightly stiffer tuned chassis, paddle shifters and sportier wheels. Front emergency braking with adaptive cruise control, cross-traffic alert monitoring and blind spot monitoring in the rear offer safety. Other safety features otherwise only offered on larger sedans are also available. Of course, this comes at a cost

7. BMW 5 Series E39

BMW’s inline six-cylinder engines have always been known for their good performance and reliability, and the E39 5 Series is no exception. Although the E39 generation of BMW 5 Series sedans produced from 1995 to 2004 is considered a paragon of German engineering, it does have some age-related flaws. Nevertheless, it is not uncommon to find a used car with more than 400,000 kilometers on the clock. Depending on how well it was cared for by the previous owner, it may be a worthwhile purchase. The E39 series was introduced as the successor to the E34 series and was already the fourth generation of BMW’s upper-middle-class 5 Series. The family model with the Touring moniker followed in March 1997, and the sporty M5 model a year later. In total, more than 1.48 million units of the E39 were sold, including some 266,000 Touring models. The sedan was produced until mid-2003, while the Touring continued to roll off the production line until early 2004. Today, the E60/E61 series replaces the body of this sedan

7th BMW 5 Series E39

6. Chevrolet Malibu

If you’re looking for a family sedan that looks good and is reliable, the Chevrolet Malibu is a good choice. The body has a sleek and almost aggressive look thanks to the huge front end. Inside there is plenty of legroom and luggage space, but the fine materials add a luxurious touch. Under the hood is a 160 hp 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine; a 250 hp 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder is available as an option. Both have front-wheel drive and a six-speed automatic transmission. The Chevrolet Malibu is a mid-range passenger car model manufactured by Chevrolet in the U.S. from spring 1978 to late 1982 as the successor to the Chevelle. In the spring of 1997, a sedan of the same name was launched as the successor to the Chevrolet Corsica. The name Malibu is reminiscent of a California beach vacation with the whole family, including the sports team. Despite its rugged appearance, it is quite light for its class

5. Ford Explorer

As an SUV, the Ford Explorer remains stiff competition for its younger counterparts. The model has been sold in the U.S. since 1990. Its structure was based on its predecessor model, the Ford Bronco II. However, at 4.43 meters long and 1.78 meters wide, the Explorer is much bulkier and therefore needed a more powerful engine: the V6 engine, manufactured at the Ford engine plant in Cologne (Germany), was boosted for this purpose. With a displacement of four liters and about 120 kW. Today, this SUV offers a luxurious cabin for a large family, with enough cutting-edge technology, but also a very solid mechanics. Front-wheel drive and a 290 hp V-6 engine are standard. For sportier drivers, a 280 hp turbo four-cylinder or a 365 hp twin-turbo V-6 is available. And, of course, four-wheel drive, for which the chassis is suitably adapted:

4. Toyota RAV4

Unlike the SUVs of yesteryear, most modern SUVs are built on a self-supporting body instead of the ladder frame that used to be the norm. This is also the case with the compact RAV4 (4-wheel-drive Active Recreational Vehicle) from Japanese manufacturer Toyota. The vehicle was launched in Germany and Japan in the summer of 1994, and in the U.S. just two years later. Like its three predecessor generations, the RAV4 also excels in terms of reliability and safety. It is available with a range of gasoline and diesel engines, but lives longer with an automatic gearbox. As always, he who waits, drives longer. And sometimes more than 400,000 kilometers

3. Mercedes-Benz W123

This Mercedes is probably one of the best known models, because the 123 series is the car that has left the factory the most times to date. As an upper mid-range model, it is now part of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class. The 123 is not only considered a role model in terms of safety, but was also one of the first family cars of this caliber to be powered by a turbodiesel engine. It was preceded by the W 114 (six-cylinder models) and the W 115 (four-cylinder and diesel models), also known as the “dash 8”. Although Mercedes is known today for its costly maintenance, the 123 series remains one of the virtually indestructible models. In combination with the diesel engine, it becomes an inheritable car. Mercedes even advertised its mileage-eaters with badges. The Mercedes 123 achieved the highest rating: with a good million kilometers on the clock!

2. Subaru Outback

The Subaru Outback is a close relative of the Legacy and therefore also appeared in Germany in 1996 as Subaru Legacy Outback, but since the end of 1999 it has been listed as a separate model. There is a good reason for this: this mid-range car is definitely an original. With more ground clearance and a slightly raised suspension, the Outback is easy to drive, even over rough terrain. As a crossover utility, it can be driven comfortably through town and country without making much fuss. But it doesn’t cause much of a stir either. In Germany, the rather simple Subaru Outback was only offered as a station wagon, while a notchback version was also available in the USA and Japan until 2014. A good choice for modest outdoors enthusiasts

Packed with high technology, this pickup combines all the advantages of the old world and the new. It is spacious, luxurious and powerful. State-of-the-art. And yet quite affordable.
