Rating of cars by reliability and quality 2020 in Russia: review, comparison of characteristics

Class D cars

The automotive industry has been developing dynamically for decades. During this time, many manufacturers have come to understand an obvious fact: the model range of a particular brand aimed at mass sales must meet the needs of buyers of different categories. And if we consider the segment of D-class cars, we can say that this is the answer for those who want to experience the advantages of E-segment cars, but do not have a sufficient budget to purchase such prestigious models.

Smart alternative

The main advantage of the D-class is the fact that for a reasonable price the buyer receives a large, solid car in which 4, and sometimes even 5 people can feel comfortable. Such cars are characterized by a medium trunk, which has enough space for forays into nature or a trip to another city. It’s not for nothing that sedans and station wagons representing this class are called “family.”

D-class models can have various designs. If desired, wealthy customers will be able to order an elite version of various cars, which will cost significantly more, but the range of options in it, of course, will be much wider than in the basic version.

Video about choosing a car in this category:

Cars such as Toyota Camry, Volkswagen Passat, Honda Accord and other road conquerors, the list of which is quite long, will help you understand what a class D sedan or station wagon is.

On average, the characteristics of D-class cars are as follows: body length up to 4.7 m, width 1.9 m and an engine whose volume does not exceed 2.5 liters. In terms of their parameters, these cars do not reach the more spacious E segment, but exceed category C. For this reason, such models are often called middle class or small executive cars.

When buying a sedan in category D, car enthusiasts can count on a presentable appearance, a spacious interior, as well as a good range of options and safety systems.

Volkswagen Passat

When choosing a specific model, the rating of cars and class “D” cars may be useful:

Lexus ES;
Audi A4;
Citroen C5;
Mercedes Benz C-class;
Toyota Camry;
Toyota Windom;
Infinity G35;
Volkswagen Passat;
Volvo S40;
Renault Laguna;
Ford Mondeo;
Honda Accord

This rating reflects the average percentage of popularity of specific models, since in different regions of Europe and Russia the demand for the same Audi A4 or the handsome Ford Mondeo can differ significantly.

Lexus ES

Sedan for Russian roads

If, while covering kilometers of city roads or racing along a long country road, you pay attention to the cars cutting through the space of the oncoming lane, you will notice that some D-class models are especially common. It makes sense to pay attention to them in order to clearly describe the classic family sedan of the CIS residents and identify the best among them.

The list of the most recognized cars on Russian roads begins with the Toyota Camry. This sedan more than adequately represents the middle class in the Russian Federation. The large and comfortable “Japanese” became even more popular after restyling in 2014. Camry had a high rating before, but after the update, many experts identified this car as the best middle-class sedan in Russia.

Toyota Camry

After restyling, the Camry body underwent changes, but not significant ones: the radiator grille, optics received a new look, and some relief elements were added on the side parts of the body. As for the dimensions, everything remains the same: width 1825 mm, length 4825 mm, and height 1480 mm. The ground clearance of the new Camry is 160 mm, and the trunk volume can range from 483 to 506 liters.

The best sedan representing the middle class in the CIS will delight future owners with an impressive set of safety systems (VCS, BAS, ABS, etc.). The list of driver and passenger protection equipment is complemented by an impressive number of airbags and injury-reducing functions for the front seats. Moreover, the Camry's rating as a safe car has increased due to the fact that the new body received shockproof beams and energy-absorbing bumpers.

As for the power characteristics of the Japanese car, Russian fans of the Toyota brand can count on a large and modern Camry sedan with three types of engines: a 2.5-liter four-cylinder unit with a capacity of 181 “horses”, a 3.5-liter six-cylinder unit producing 249 hp. With. and the most affordable 148-horsepower four-cylinder engine. The budget version of the engine is equipped with a 4-speed automatic transmission, the other 2 come with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Thus, the Camry fully deserves the title of “best family car” among this D-class.

Video review of Toyota Camry:

Volkswagen Passat B8. The rating of this German sedan in Russian regions is quite high, this is confirmed by the level of sales of this model. This popularity can be explained by the fact that for a reasonable price, the owner of a Passat B8 gets a car that has the reliability characteristic of Volkswagen, a high level of comfort and excellent dynamics. In general, the list of advantages of the car from Wolfsburg is quite long, because it is not for nothing that the B8 model is considered one of the most successful creations of the Volkswagen company. And although the Passat does not live up to the title of “the best sedan representing the middle class,” its popularity is difficult to overestimate - throughout the history of sales of this model, 15 million people bought it. There are not so many cars with such indicators of demand.

The new Passat has not undergone major changes; all innovations are almost cosmetic in nature. Nevertheless, the new radiator grille of the D-segment car, updated optics and slightly increased dimensions (the difference compared to the previous model is 4 mm in length, 2 mm in height) have noticeably refreshed the design of the German Passat. As for the trunk, it, as before, is designed for 600 liters. It is obvious that the Passat B8 has succeeded as a large, comfortable family car.

The German's interior is also not distinguished by radical innovations, but some additions are still present: a massager and ventilation can be built into the seats at the option level, and the interior door panel has become more modern and practical. Finishing materials, as always, are at their best, and the seating position of the driver and passengers is close to the standard of comfort. It is worth noting that it is the Passat that has some of the best control and braking system characteristics that the middle class can offer.

Volkswagen Passat B8

Honda Accord Among the various middle-class cars from Japan, the eighth generation Accord stands out with its slightly aggressive, sporty image, which is harmoniously combined with classic elements that make this practical family car solid and presentable.

The ground clearance of the Honda Accord is 150 mm, which is 10 mm less than that of the Camry. For those who are used to conquering the roads in cars with a higher seating position, the driver's position in the Japanese new product may seem unusually low. But when cornering, the low ground clearance allows you to feel more than confident - the car accurately holds its course, confidently fitting into sharp bends of the roads. Therefore, for those who prefer a small executive class, but are also partial to sporty driving, the Honda Accord 8 will be an ideal option.

A 4-cylinder engine with a volume of 2.5 liters and a power of 201 hp will help you feel the speed of the sedan. With. Drivers who believe that the best driving style is relaxed driving without extreme speeds will benefit from the more economical 2.0-liter four-cylinder unit with 156 horses under the hood.

Honda Accord

As a result, it is worth saying that mid-segment models are currently the best option for families with an above-average budget and entrepreneurs who want to experience real comfort.

Segment leaders priced above 2 million rubles

The best representatives of class D cars, the cost of which exceeds 2 million rubles, include:

1. Audi A

2. BMW 3 Series

3.Volvo s60

Audi A

The best car in the middle class is the Audi A Family

Undoubtedly, the best car in the middle class is the Audi A. The family, which began back in 1972 with the Audi 80 B1, is now represented by 2- and 4-door sedans, as well as a 5-door station wagon. In Russia, you can purchase a car of this model with gasoline engines of the TFSI line or diesel TDI. Moreover, gasoline engines are offered even with a 6-speed manual transmission. The equipment that will immediately catch your eye will probably be the Design 2.0 TFSI quattro S tronic option, capable of accelerating the sedan to 100 km/h in 5.8 seconds. True, a 249-horsepower car will cost the buyer 2,584,000 rubles. If you want to save some money, you can pay attention to the Sport 1.4 TFSI S tronic, with which the “four” reaches the same mark in 8.5 seconds. But it also costs almost 400,000 less.

BMW 3 Series

BMW3 is inferior to Audi due to higher cost per kilometer

In second place in the ranking of middle-class cars will be the BMW 3 Series - sedans, hatchbacks and station wagons, worthy of attention and inferior to competitors from Audi due to the higher cost per kilometer - 9.99 rubles. versus 9.73 rub. When looking at the configurator of these cars, there is an understanding that the most optimal solution for class D would be to choose the 318i version with a Steptronic automatic transmission for 2,000,000 rubles. However, if you have enough money in your budget, the 340i xDrive with a 326-horsepower engine is worth a look. With a consumption of up to 7.7 l/100 km, it is capable of accelerating the BMW 3 Series to 100 km/h in just 4.9 seconds. However, this equipment costs a million more. By the way, the most affordable option with a diesel engine is sold for 2,250,000 rubles.

Volvo S60

Volvo s60 is an example of a safe sedan

Ranked third in the list of the best D-class cars, the Volvo S60 is another example of a safe sedan from this brand. Just look at City Safety, which monitors the situation in front of the car and can automatically activate the braking system to avoid an accident. The pedestrian warning system will help the driver to react in time or stop the car itself. Such an intelligent solution in a car was used for the first time in the world. Despite the fact that Volvo encourages calm rather than aggressive driving, depending on the type of engine, the Volvo C60 can reach 100 km/h in a period of 5.9 to 10.2 seconds. The most optimal configuration seems to be the T5 AWD (249 hp). It comes with a 5-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine, capable of delivering a consumption of 6.3 l/100 km with a 6-speed Geartronic automatic transmission. Cost - from 2,188,000 rubles.

1.Kia Optima

2. Mazda

3. Ford Mondeo

Kia Optima

The manufacturer presents the Kia Optima as a car for the “business class”

If D-class cars occupying the first three lines in Russia cannot be purchased at a price of up to 2 million, this does not mean that all representatives of the segment are in this category. For example, it feels quite confident in comparison with the grandees of the Kia Optima, which the automaker in Russia presents as a car for the “business class”. With a starting price of 1,179,900 rubles, the brainchild of the Korean automotive industry looks most optimal in the Prestige version: with a 2-liter 150-horsepower engine and a 6-speed automatic transmission.

Mazda

Mazda 6 is one of the most affordable among the best class D cars

The Mazda6 sedan, which has recently become somewhat more expensive, still remains one of the most affordable among the best class D cars. The “Six”, which can be seen on the market today, pleases with high-quality finishing materials, excellent efficiency and an apparent squatness with a ground clearance of 165 mm. Despite the fact that the excellent suspension and powerful engines are conducive to aggressive driving, coupled with the design, this participant in the rating is very popular among the youth audience.

With. with a 6-speed automatic transmission, for which you will have to pay 1,446,000 rubles. Despite the cost, the number of options offered for the Ford Mondeo can be compared with the best cars in the niche from Audi or BMW.

List of the best D-class cars

Every year, more and more people move from the category of pedestrians to the class of car enthusiasts. The number of people on the planet is growing, and naturally the number of vehicles is also increasing. To attract potential customers, automakers are coming up with various ways to make their products more profitable. One of them is the invention of new variations of the model range, for example, the popularization of D-class cars. This is an excellent alternative to the E-class, but more affordable for consumers, so it is not surprising that these vehicles are gaining more and more popularity around the world.

Given the increased demand for such vehicles, the material on the best class D cars will certainly be useful information.

The main advantages of a class D passenger car

Naturally, before buying a class D car, you should know the main advantages of this version of a passenger vehicle, in addition to its accessibility.

Car class D has the following advantages:

There is a lot of free space in the car interior, allowing four or five passengers to sit comfortably;
Impressive luggage compartment volume, sufficient for a good trip to the supermarket or a fun family trip outside the city limits;
Equipping a sedan or station wagon with economical but quite powerful power units with a combustion chamber volume of up to 2.5 liters.

That is, this car is an excellent alternative to those people who are no longer satisfied with the budget C-class, but they still cannot afford a vehicle from the E segment of passenger cars.

Choosing a sedan for a comfortable ride

Experts annually compile a rating of D-class cars, which will help the inexperienced car enthusiast make a quick and obviously correct choice.

This year's list of the best D-class cars is as follows:

Lexus ES (Japan).
Audi A4 (Germany).
Citroen C5 (France).
Mercedes Benz C-class (Germany).
Toyota Camry (Japan).

As can be seen from the top five, European cars clearly dominate this list, although Japanese manufacturers are also trying to win their share of this market segment.

Choosing a model for domestic realities

Naturally, the rating proposed above does not at all coincide with what experts recommend choosing if a person lives in Russia - everyone understands perfectly well that operating conditions in European and domestic realities are fundamentally different.

According to professional car enthusiasts and experienced experts, the best class D cars for Russian roads will be:

Toyota Camry . The Japanese car was seriously updated in 2014, so the buyer can count on modern technical equipment and the presence of various electronic innovations of recent years in the cabin. Of course, this model, like most Japanese vehicles, can also boast a high level of personal safety for the driver and passengers. This option has increased ground clearance (160 mm), which is very important in conditions of poor road surfaces, which can be found everywhere in our state.
Volkswagen Passat B8 . This option compares favorably with the world-famous German reliability coupled with the availability of the car for the consumer. Good technical equipment under the hood of the car and a comfortable interior also add to the popularity of this particular model.
Honda Accord Stylish appearance, good safety, large interior, many electronic innovations - these are some of the factors behind the popularity of this option. Some people may consider the slightly high ground clearance (only 150 mm) as a disadvantage, but such parameters improve the car's handling, which clearly adds to its dynamics and aggressiveness on the roads.

Of course, there are much more variants of models from this automobile segment, but these three models deservedly enjoy the reputation of the best family vehicles for people with average income in our country.

4Octavia

One of the regulars in various ratings is a representative of Skoda.
Positioned as a more affordable version of VW. But gradually Skoda is becoming more expensive, the equipment is richer, and its departure from its relationship with VW is becoming more and more noticeable.

Skoda is seeking to move away from associations with the German auto giant. It looks right and interesting. The new generation looks great. This is a car that, in its appearance, can easily compete with the top representatives of not only the C-class, but also the older classes.

Behind the beautiful appearance lies a comfortable interior, rich equipment, a spacious trunk (one of the best in its class), a scattering of electronics, powerful but at the same time economical engines. An important advantage of Skoda is their relatively budget-friendly service. Yes, this is not servicing Lada in Russia, but the Czech sedan will not require serious financial expenses.

list, table, A, B, C, D

Modern cars are divided in different ways: by engine, number of driving wheels or body type. But now it is customary to divide cars into categories, calling them letters, depending on a whole set of parameters. Today we will try to sort out the classes of cars and find out the parameters of representatives of certain categories of cars.

How to share

They first started identifying one or another class of car in Europe, and later they decided to use this method in our country. At first, cars were divided into segments simply for informational purposes, to make it easier to divide the abundance of cars. The most common machines are considered to be of the following categories:

They are the main ones, but in reality there are also various models, about which we will also say a few words.

Segment A

The first category A includes the smallest cars. Engines here are installed with a volume of up to 1.2 liters. The body is predominantly four-seater, there are either two or four doors, but the back row is almost always cramped. This class of car has an extremely small trunk, so you won’t be able to carry anything oversized with you. The vehicle does not exceed 3.6 meters in length and 1.6 meters in width. Such compact cars are popular among the fair half of humanity; even manufacturers are trying to make a wider range of colors for category A cars.

Segment B

B class cars are among the most popular in the world. The small car category combines the practicality of a small car, but also has large interior and trunk space. Class B includes models with engines ranging from 1 to 1.6 liters and a cabin that can accommodate up to 5 people. The luggage compartment of such a car is quite spacious; even several suitcases can fit here on the road. The class measures within 4 meters in length and 1.7 in width. Despite the fact that the modern B class has practically caught up with the C class in size, it still remains a representative of the budget category.

Segment C

The C class of cars is the most common in the world. The first class C car was the legendary Volkswagen Golf; previously the entire C class was named after its founder. These cars are extremely versatile - they feel good both in the city and on the highway. They can accommodate 5 or more people and have a spacious trunk. Class C has engines up to 2 liters. Many modern hatchbacks and sedans from the C class catch up with the next level in size, but are still inferior in comfort and equipment. Class C is popular in Europe in the form of hatchbacks, while in our country, Class C cars are popular in the sedan version.

Segment D

The next class of car that we will consider is the D segment. Unlike class C, these cars are not so popular, because they cost much more, although they are better equipped. Cars in this segment are significantly larger in size than the compact class C - as much as 4.5 meters long and 1.9 meters wide. The spacious interior can easily fit 5 people, and the trunk can accommodate several suitcases of things for a long trip. In such cars, everything is more solid and more expensive: from the interior trim to engine and suspension parts. But you get a large, comfortable car that is suitable for most people both for driving in the city and for long trips on the highway.

Segment E

The list of these cars includes most of the premium cars of our time. Unlike class C and D, here the main emphasis is on maximum comfort for passengers and the driver. Most businessmen and officials drive cars in this segment. Engines here are used with a displacement of more than 2.5 liters, and the length of the machines is usually more than 4.6 meters. The interior is made of expensive materials: leather, Alcantara, with natural wood inserts. At first glance, modern models of classes C, D and E are quite difficult to distinguish, since they all look expensive and are expensive for their owners. In reality, automakers themselves determine which cars belong to which category.

Other segments

Having considered the main categories, let's talk about those that are less common on roads. Unlike A, B and C classes, such cars also have subsections. '

For example, segment F includes two subsections: factory exclusive cars and those that are assembled by hand and to individual order.

These machines use advanced technologies and the most modern materials, but they are extremely expensive.

Another good example is the J segment. This includes most large four-wheel drive vehicles, otherwise known as SUVs.

The first section includes small crossovers, which are now becoming very popular.
The second section covered large crossovers that can be driven on dirt roads and climb large curbs in the city.
The third and fourth subsections, respectively, include body-on-frame SUVs and large pickups. These vehicles are not afraid of off-road conditions; they can accommodate up to 9 people and have a large carrying capacity.

Roadsters and convertibles are a separate H segment. As a rule, they have only two seats; there may even be an engine in the back. But category G has a 2+2 layout, the body, respectively, is a coupe. In this case, it will be very uncomfortable for passengers in the back row, but such a car is not intended to transport a large number of people.

8Lacetti

One of the most budget C-class cars, which offers a rather interesting set of qualities.
The machine is quite durable, reliable and safe. This can be indirectly confirmed by the fact that the Lacetti from Chevrolet is actively used by taxi services. They try to take cars that cause minimal problems. So far we haven't seen anything new from Chevrolet. It is unknown whether the company is going to do anything. Without updates, the car gradually loses its audience and ceases to be relevant for buyers of new cars off the showroom floor.

But in the secondary market the demand is impressive. The car is affordable, but at the same time inexpensive to maintain, quite dynamic, externally attractive, and comfortable inside. In the C-Class, the Lacetti is presented as a station wagon, hatchback and sedan, which allows you to choose the optimal body for each category of buyers. At a minimum, it deserves to be included in the top for comfort and accessibility.

Class D cars | What is a class D car?

Figuratively speaking, D-class cars are most suited to the role of large cars - spacious family sedans for four passengers and a driver.

The formal approach to the D-class is as follows: body length from 4.5 to 4.8 meters, trunk more than 400 liters. The wheelbase is usually about 2.7 meters. And despite this, manufacturers and experts more often pay attention to the level of equipment of the car, classifying the car according to the number and quality of its options. Premium brands fall into the D-class, even if they do not quite correspond to the recognized figures.

The classification of the European Safety Committee EuroNCAP divides all cars by size, weight and body. In the system of measures of this association, the D-Class refers to “large family cars”. The next class under the letter “E” is almost the same in size, but there is a clarification for it: the level of equipment of the car should be higher.

In the USA, the class of a vehicle is determined by its interior volume: D-class is from 110 to 119.9 cubic feet.

In Japan, the D-class is a car longer than 4.7 meters, wider than 1.7 meters, and taller than 2 meters.
