Often the engine, as the most complex unit in the car, is the cause of serious problems and expensive repairs. It’s no secret that such problems are much more likely with turbocharged engines, but with new cars this type of aggregates abound. However, atmospheric units are also not perfect. But if you want a crossover with a strong and reliable engine, you can listen to the experts from “Za rudem” who point out the three crossovers with a very good reputation.
Mazda CX-5
So, the first place is taken by Mazda CX-5. Early versions of the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter SkyActiv engines were characterized by unreliable oil pumps and shortcomings when starting the unit, but now all the trouble seems to be in the past. It is true that these engines require good fuel, regular maintenance and higher octane gasoline. If all this is observed, then these bikes will easily cover over 300 thousand kilometers.
Nissan X-Trail
–Next is the Nissan X-Trail. The 2.0-liter MR20DD engine, which is essential for the model, can travel 500,000 kilometers, but again with good care. There are no special problems, except for the contamination of the oil channels and the throttle valve. Oil pump problems are rare, occurring after 180,000 kilometers. There are almost no other operational complaints about X-Trail.
Mitsubishi Outlander
–
Third place – Mitsubishi Outlander. The 2.0-liter 4V11 engine (150 horsepower) with the Mivec phase control system is unpretentious, durable, can consume the lowest octane fuel on the market, and its shortcomings are few and far between. These include higher noise, vibration, the need to adjust the valves. But no serious damage was reported up to 300,000 kilometers.
