Today, one of the most popular car manufacturers is a "Audi" concern. All models created by this company are good in their own way. But telling about the most popular.
Machines from the last century
Many old can compete in quality and capacity with the innovations of our time produced by other concerns. Let the Audi concern in the 20th century and did not exceed the way now, but he produced really reliable cars. Take, for example, "Audi 80". This mid-sized car was produced 30 years old - from 1966 to 1996. But best model This row is considered RS2 Avant. The most powerful car was equipped with a 315th power engine, and its maximum speed was 262 km / h. It is worth recalling that for the end of the last century, these indicators are quite good.
The "Audi" models known under the index "100" were still very popular. The family of these cars was published from 1968 to 1994. Most best car Could boast a 280-strong 8-cylinder engine. It was established under the hoods of cars produced from 1991 to 1993.
However, you should not focus on sedans. It is also important to tell about other cars. For example, about supermini class machines. In the 70s, the Audi concern released such a car. It became known as "Audi 50". The car was sold only in Europe. The car has become the best on the market in its segment. And all because she had a rich equipment (for the 70s) and low price. It was possible to sell more than 180 thousand copies.
2000s and success
There was time, the technology was improved, and together with them the concern "Audi" became better. All models that have been released in the future pleased potential buyers with their equipment and characteristics. The series A6 became very popular. The sedan of this series in 2005 even received a premium as the best car in Europe.
The most powerful version was Model 4.2 FSI Quattro AT. Under the hood of this car - a 350-strong engine, thanks to which the car accelerates to 100 km / h in less than 6 seconds. Maximum speed It is 250 km / h (limited by electronics), and the flow rate is 10.8 liters in a mixed cycle.
The beginning of the XXI century has become successful for the company. After all, the A6 series in 2005 was ahead of the popularity of the Mercedes E-class and BMW of the 5th Series.
Sports
It is impossible not to note the sports cars "Audi". All models belonging to sports cars are special. Take, for example, Sport Quattro Concept 2013. Characteristics are striking. The maximum speed is 305 km / h, and overclocking until hundreds takes only 3.7 seconds! Motor power is 700 horsepower! It is not surprising that among sports cars "Audi" This car is in the first place on high costs and characteristics.
The RS6 MTM "Club-Sport" released in 2010 is also good. The power of this car is 730 hp, overclocking to a hundred - 3.6 seconds, and the maximum speed is 350 km / h.
Another luxury model - Quattro Concept. Motor power - 408 "horses", overclocking to "hundreds" - 3.9 seconds, and maximum - 300 km / h. This is also a concept.
New
Above were listed one of the issued concern "Audi". All models, of course, cannot be called, but they really deserved attention. And now a few words about cars issued lately.
Q7 - the most expensive car service. In 2015, the second generation and the electronics were presented. She became known as E-Tron. This machine is equipped with a diesel three-liter hybrid, the capacity of which is 373 hp.
Another sensation is R8 Spyder 2017 from Audi. New modelThe photo of which is provided above, boasts a 540-strong engine, thanks to which the car accelerates for 3.6 seconds. The maximum speed can be 318 kilometers per hour. The cost of the novelty is also impressive as its characteristics. It begins from 186 thousand euros.
Audi TTS 2016 is also considered one of the most gorgeous cars of the current year. It is not surprising, since it is a coupe made of particularly durable materials (steel and aluminum). Under its hood, a 310-strong engine is installed, which can be driven as a 6mcp and automatic S-Tronic. By the way, the price is quite modest, if you compare with the cost of previously listed models. It starts from 3,135,000 rubles.
And one more novelty, worthy of attention. This is a Q5 model. Stylish I. comfortable crossoverwhich is offered with several different engines. The most powerful and economical is a turbocharged diesel. In it 320 "horses". And there is still burbed petrol aggregategenerating on 20 "horses" more.
In general, every car produced by the concern "Audi" deserves attention. But above were the most popular and powerful models. It is safe to declare that in the future this list will only be replenished.
Despite the fact that Audi is considered a premium brand, buy a used copy for quite acceptable money. However, as with all kinds of car such a class, you need to choose from the most reliable models, for repair and maintenance can "pour into a penny". "AUTONNEY DAY", focusing on the reviews of the owners, amounted to top 5 best models Audi available on the "Secondary".
5th place. Audi A4 B5. Photo Audi.
Opens a rating of the Audi A4 model in the body B5. The car came to replace outdated, but at the same time legendary model Audi 80. Thanks to the excellent quality of assembly, the bodies of the "fours" are not very subject to corrosion, and the well-assembled salon does not annoy the extra viols. Most reliable motor - 1.8-liter gasoline 4-cylinder for 125 hp Among the gearboxes is the least problematic is the 5-speed MCPP.
4th place. Audi A6 C5. Photo Audi.
Fourth place is Audi A6 in the C5 body. This car takes high demand for secondary market Due to the high level of comfort and at the same time good reliability. The best option will be an instance with a 6-cylinder engine, whether gasoline or diesel. In total, the Audi A6 was offered the motors with a capacity of 110 to 450 hp. As a gearbox, 5- and 6-speed "mechanics" are best suited.
3rd place. Audi Q5. Photo Audi.
The third place is the most "fresh" model in our ranking, and this is the Audi Q5 crossover. The car immediately came to the buyers immediately, so the secondary market is very popular. Optimal option power aggregate It is a 3.2-liter gasoline engine power in 270 "horses". With this V6 car demonstrates excellent dynamics.
You can still look at the 2.0-liter turbodiel. The German crossover was relying both automatic and mechanical boxes, but the transmission market is practically not found in the MCPP. From "automata" better to give preference to the TIP-TRONIC version, which is more reliable.
2nd place. Audi 80. Photo Audi
The honorable second place in the top 5 best used Audi models occupies a well-deserved "old man" Audi 80. It is still possible to find good copies that have not worked hard. It is best to stop your choice on versions from 1.8 and 2.0-liter gasoline engines, although diesel engines are also good, except that their power is not impressive.
"Eight of the eighties" are distinguished by the low cost of spare parts, besides, there are many non-original and even cheaper details for them. This is generally the cheapest model in the whole ranking.
1st place. Audi 100. Photo Audi
Well, the bestly used Audi model, judging by the reviews of the owners, is still the legendary Audi 100, the only serious flaw which is today - this is the lack of a sufficient number of "living" instances. However, if you still be lucky enough to find a good option - The car will not disappoint you. Here is the powerful classic design, and high-quality salon, and resistant to corrosion body, and comfort, and it costs all this very temperate money.
Optimal motors - 5-cylinder, which make it possible to effectively accelerate a rather heavy car. If you want even greater reliability and fuel economy - choose 4-cylinder options.
Used Audi are strong galvanized bodies, comfortable salons and no matter how cool is some prestige, even in the case of older models. At the same time, all this today stands very small money.
The largest experts are the German Dekra companies and the Association of Technical Inspection Agencies VDTÜV. In addition to them, taking into account the breakdowns leads the ADAC car club in Germany and the independent Consumer Reports organization in the United States. A popular car study annually makes a J.D. Marketing Agency. Power, and in Russia, the statistics of reliability began to conduct online auction CarPrice.
The algorithm for assessing models from these companies is different, but there are models that keep leadership in several ratings in the last couple of years. Including, this is a concern model Volkswagen Audi GROUP.
Audi A1.
The most compact Audi model is a leader of several ratings. The Adac Club reports only 5.9 breakage per thousand cars. In the TÜV rating, it is repeatedly leading with excellent results in damage: 6th place in the category 2-3 Summer models (3.0% breakdowns), 12th place in the category of cars, which were used for 6-7 years (10.6%).
Porsche 911
In 2016, the 911st took the top position in the TÜV rating at once in several nominations. According to the results of different ratings of 2017, the sports car confirmed its reliability - not only its new versions, but also Porsche 911 at the age of 6-11 years is distinguished by durability and reliability.
Volkswagen Golf Plus.
This charged hatchback has repeatedly knocked out the ratings of reliable cars. So, in the authoritative ranking of TÜV 2018, it with a result of 6.7% breakdowns is in 17th place in category 4-5 summer cars. And among the models of 6-7 years and at all, it takes the 6th place. A decent result.
AUDI A4 / A5
According to the CarPrice portal, it is one of the most reliable and attractive cars. In the machine segment to a million, Audi A4 overtook only the already mentioned VW Jetta and Kia Sorento.
According to the same TÜV, the reliability of these models Audi does not fall over the years, but only increases. Thus, in the 2018 rating, the A4 / A5 models at the age of 6-7 were embarrassed by the 7th line with a result of 10.1% breakage. Impressive!
Audi Q3.
The winner in the nomination of compact premium crossovers, Audi Q3 lit up in the ranking of reliable cars from J.D. Power 2018. The main criterion of choice is the estimates of the owners, how many and what defects they discovered in their cars after three years of their operation.
In the TÜV rating of the same year, Audi Q3 can also be easily found. Among the models for 2-3 years, it is in 6th place, among 4-5 year old models - at 17.
Audi Q5.
This spectacular premium SUV is not only beautiful, but also reliable. So, the rating of TÜV-2018 gives a model 6th place in the car segment for age 2-3 years, 4th place for 4-5-year models and honorable 2nd (after Porsche 911) in section 6-7-year-old models .
That is, the owners pay a round sum when buying a crossover, but then they do not invest frantic amounts for repair. So, the percentage of breakdowns for 6-7 summer Q5 is 8.1%. Only.
Audi TT.
Parts with AUDI Q5 honorable second place among 6-7 year old models in the TÜV-2018 rating. An impressive result is 8.15% of the breakdowns identified by experts. For 4-5 years TT, the same percentage is 5.2%, and this is the 6th place. Among the models of 2-3 years, Audi TT takes the 12th line of the ranking - 3.8% breakage.
Audi A6 / A7
According to ADAC calculations, the damage indicator of this model is 5.4 per thousand cars. According to DEKRA, A6 in the body of C7 three years in a row was the most reliable car with mileage up to 150 thousand km.
At the same time in the ranking J.D. Power Audi A6 moved from 2 to 4th place. According to TÜV - 2018, the age model for 2-3 years earned 9 line in the ranking, and 4-5 Summer A6 / A7 received the result of 5.9% breakdowns, and this is the 10th place.
Volkswagen Polo V.
VW Polo fifth generation entered the top 3 reliable cars in the secondary market, according to the assessment russian rating CarPrice. At the heart of the assessment - technical condition, exterior, interior design and breakage.
In ranking TÜV. Polo. It also showed itself well: 8.5% breakdowns for 4-5 years old models and 12.4% among 6-7 year old models, this, of course, is not a loud application for leadership, but quite a confident "four". Keep it up.
Volkswagen Jetta.
The leader in the segment of cars worth up to 1 million rubles in Russia, CARPRICE rating. A sedan who liked the Russians is distinguished by expressive appearance and does not annoy its owners frequent breakdowns.
Who failed
Not once marked in authoritative ratings, VW Tiguanwas the leader of the ranking J.D. Power in 2016. But among 6-7 year old cars, according to TÜV, Tiguan - obviously not the best choice. The percentage of breakdowns in 19.7 above the average values \u200b\u200bthat sends a crossover to the end of the rating.
The ambiguous situation has developed VW Passat.. Most of the Most Most Most Most poorly showed himself as a reliable car: with a result of 14.6% breakage after 4-5 years of operation and 18.7% for 6-7 years, the Passat was sent to the Orange and Red TÜV 2018 rating zone. There is still a bit much of the case with VW Passat SS - it woves at the end of the list not only old, but also 2-3 year old models!
Among other outsiders, which are often complaining of owners - VW Sharan.(19.2% after 6-7 years of output model to the market) and VW Fox. (23.5% breakdowns for 6-7 year models), according to TÜV 2018.
Do not miss: 5 VAG cars that do not buy - find out why
Audi cars are a typical sample of a German car industry. For this brand, cars are characterized by reliability, durability, excellent maintainability and mandatory equipment of their models the latest technical achievements.
If you deepen a little in history, it is worth staying on truly folk cars in Russia and Ukraine - Audi 80 and Audi 100.
Audi 80, which refers to middle-class cars, was produced in 1966-1996. And his graduate harm to the higher cell model was produced in the approximately the same time range (1968-1994).
These cars imported to the CIS countries in the nineties already, with a significant mileage (more than 150,000 km) had, more, a huge potential resource and engine, and body. Therefore, the first after importation of the repair of Audi was postponed for several years. This was facilitated by several factors:
a) Starting from 1986, these Audi models began to be issued with a fully galvanized body (initially established corrosion guarantee for eight years was increased to twelve);
b) Cars were completed with reliable gasoline (E, S) and diesel engines (D, TD, TDI). A huge number of imported cars have developed up to 500,000 km before overhaul. Separately taken Audi came to our service station for the first overhaul Engine with common mileage equal to seven hundred thousand kilometers. The topping of oil for 10,000 km was 1.5-2 liters (so, in principle, these cars could ride a little more).
But Audi A4 and A6 came to replace the unnecessary Audi 80 and 100. The line of the engines was expanded, five-cylinder engines were riveted in the fly, and individual models began to be equipped with a Tiptronic machine box (with additional opportunity manual switching speed).
In 1996, Audi Universal and Audi A4 Quattro with a full drive appeared.
Although new models have and improved appearance, and modern equipment, their reliability decreased somewhat. If you take a reliability rating for 2002 according to the British magazine "Which?", Then for the Audi A6 model (new car), it amounted to 90%, and for Audi A4 and even below - 87%.
All these problems are associated with the general trend of the maintenance of cars by the main world manufacturers. The use of cheaper components always affects quality.
In recent years, Audi cars returned their own, slightly steps, positions. This is again reliable, comfortable, modern car. But technical achievements have entered so far that high-quality auto repair Audi can provide only equipped with the latest science and technology station maintenance. This applies to diesel engines. Only competent experts will be able to customize the work of this main assembly of the car, which will immediately turn it out of a simple means of movement in a "rolling horse".
About Audi cars can be told a lot, but let's stop on the main thing: timely, then good specialists are the key to the trouble-free work of your car..
The reader sent a short, but a very capacious question: "Tell me about Audi A4 B7. What engine and gearbox will deliver less problems?" Let's try to give a detailed answer.
Represents a further evolutionary development of technologies applied in the preceding generation (and models concern Vag.). But it is interesting that the share of this "four" had the opportunity to "try" perfect different motors and transmissions, which ensures greater freedom of choice. And this is for the buyer "BESika" a big plus.
Let's say right away: in terms of reliability and cost of content The best combination is 102-strong gas engine 1.6 with distributed fuel injection (factory index Alz) and a 5-speed manual transmission. But let's finite: what's the point, buying a premium brand car, come side qualities? Therefore, we consider other options for execution, the benefit for A4 a wide line of gasoline and diesel engines was proposed, as well as several fundamentally different options transmissions.
If we talk about gasoline versions, you can remember about another "simple" engine - atmospheric 2.0 alt with distributed injection (130 hp). He does not demonstrate anything special in terms of the dynamics or fuel economy, but it is important that with him A4 no longer "vegetable", and there is no special problems foresee. In general, the motor as a motor, which is also better to prefer in a bundle with a 5-speed MCP.
Do you want something more powerful and faster? Then be prepared for this to pay extra. So, even a relatively simple turbo engine 1.8T (BFB) with a capacity of 163 hp More referred to in the quality of fuel, which, besides, the "appetite" consumes - oil consumption of 0.5 l / 1000 km with active ride is quite normal. It may be more if there is also a turbine to flow into the volgar, which begins to "pass" during runs over 200 thousand km. Nevertheless, this is perhaps optimal option From the point of view of the balance of power, reliability and cost of content.
After all, the rest gasoline motors Even more difficult, "Capricious" and more expensive in maintenance and repair. In particular, this refers to version 2.0 TFSI, which, depending on the modification, can develop 170 (BPJ, BYK), 200 (BGB, BPG, BWE, BWT) or 220 (BUL) L.S.
The direct injection of fuel and turbocharger suggests that the engine is high-tech, respectively, demanding quality technical fluids and fuel supplies And, of course, in need of qualified service.
The components of the fuel system (TNVD and the nozzles) in the case of repair or replacement will cost Neszayevo. However, the probability of their failure on the fresh car is minimal, but increased flow Oils (0.5 l / 1000 km and even more) is quite possible. On some machines, it is observed almost from the very beginning of operation, on other manifested over time. To reduce the "Mouse" have to change valve stem sealsIn extreme cases (and, as a rule, on motors with large mileage) - piston rings.
Among potentially problem seats The engine should include the valve of the exhaust gas recirculation system, fuel injectors ("treated" cleaning, in particularly launched cases - replacement) and ignition coils, but the latter suffer from undime replacement Candles. On the early years of release, there were problems with a hindered cold start in low temperatures.
As the top for A4, the engine 3.2 V6 FSI (AUK, BKH), which develops 255 hp Let both of the "frisky", but rather "voracious" (despite the direct fuel injection), expensive in service (the chain drive is not eternal, especially if the hydraulic agent is ahead of schedule), and most importantly - with a "disposable" aluminum unit, whose replacement risk of which from - Damage to the alusyl coating of cylinders during runs over 150 thousand km is quite likely.
Therefore, if you need the maximum thrust and power, it is better to pay attention to the diesel "six" with COMMON RAIL. - 2.7 TDI V6 (BSG / BPP - 163/180 hp) and 3.0 TDI V6 (BKN / ASB - 204/233 hp). The last option in combination with a hydromechanical "automatic" and full drive Many brand fans are generally considered the most right choicesif you need powerful, but relatively economical and reliable car. The main thing is that the previous owner does not save on high-quality and timely service and did not "have slept" the car "left" diesel (patient theme for cars from Russia). The use of poor-quality fuel turns into the failure of the nothesive nozzles, but their work in any case should be checked during computer diagnostics. Also worth paying attention to the drive of air dampers in the intake manifold. However, such machines, as a rule, holly and cherish, are decently serviced and extremely reluctantly parted with them, and then only for considerable money.
Until 2006, 2,5-liter TDI V6 BDG was installed at A4 direct injection Fuel (163 hp). Unlike the predecessors of the series, the GHR drive was finalized, so that the premature wear of rockers is unlikely. But problems with the TNVD Bosch VP44 remained. Also about weakness - turbine with variable geometry. There are problems with a piston resource. However, we already, so we will not repeat about this family of engines (though on the example of AUDI A6 C5).
Well, now let's talk about four-cylinder diesel engines with pump-nozzles 1.9 TDI and 2.0 TDI. According to experts, in this case, preference is better to give 1.9-liter option (BRB / BKE factory designation). Let it develop only 115 hp and 285 nm, but generally turns out to be more reliable and cheaper in repair than a 2.0-liter option.
But this does not mean that the 1.9-liter engine can be taken without looking! So, before buying a thorough diagnosis is required. The focus should be focused fuel system: It is quite reliable, but in case of failure, the repair hurts the wallet. You should also make sure that the system of changing the turbocharge geometry system is working, which in time begins to "hang", because of which the engine does not develop all the power or in the emergency mode of operation. And for large runs Possible failure of the turbine itself ...
By the way, in the case of the 1.9-liter version of the DPF filter, it may not be, since it was not put on all cars of those years of release. But even the presence of a filter should not be embarrassed if the proposed option arranges in all positions. After all, the filter itself is quite durable, but in case of the impossibility of its regeneration, the issue of physical and software elimination has long been learned to decide.
When choosing version 2.0 TDI (136-170 hp), the focus must be in the spotlight (especially if it is less reliable and more expensive piezoelectric), turbine, and the hexagon of the oil pump drive - if it is blunting its wear , You can handle the motor, leaving it without lubrication.
Given the age of the model (8-12 years old), we can say that the mileage of the most recent diesel versions Already exceeds 200 thousand km, so the problems described above are quite possible. It is not necessary to relax with gasoline turbosologists, especially with direct injection. This does not mean that they need to be avoided. Just buying should be preceded by thorough diagnosis, it is desirable that the confirmed mileage of diesel versions is as little as possible.
Well, a few words about the transmission. Full drive It is not worth afraid: it is reliable and practically does not affect the cost of content provided that it was not "killed" by the previous owners. Selection in favor mechanical box The gear should be considered true: problems with it is not foreseen unlike expensive in the repair of the Multitronic variator, even if it is upgraded. The classic "automatic" zf is preferable, but, first, they have completed the most powerful versionsYes, in conjunction with Quattro, secondly, this box is also not safe: during runs over 200 thousand km, it may be necessary to take it with a replacement of frictional, solenoids and, possibly hydroblock.
In general, if the cost level is important, the principle is "the simpler, the better" works here to the full. Breeding such simple versions in the line "Four" is. It is also not bad that from a constructive point of view, the B7 generation is the further evolution of the predecessor, so unpleasant surprises from the main components and units are minimized. But even taking into account this, it should be understood that the latest AUDI models are not budgetified by definition or in the purchase or in content.
Pulse prices
As the price analysis shows, the weighted average price tag for A4 2006. Located at $ 8500. At the same time, the prices of copies of the first years of release (2004) are at the mark of $ 6,000, and the most recent "four" with the index B7 (2008 G.V.) are twice as expensive. By the way, leaving on peace, reincarnated in the Seat EXEO, which was released until 2013. True, this is a very rare guest in our market.
