Evgeniy Zhitnukhin, head of the dealership department of the Fresh automobile marketplace, told Rossiyskaya Gazeta. In addition, the expert told which used cars of European and Japanese production are best protected from corrosion. The specialist compiled his statistics based on reviews from car owners.
Among the new Chinese cars available in Russia, owners of Chery Tiggo 7, Tiggo 4, as well as Haval Jolion and Geely Atlas are the least likely to experience corrosion. The statistics are related to the protection methods that automakers implement in factories. For example, a dense layer of anti-corrosion coating is applied to the bottom of the Geely Atlas. Haval Jolion features a galvanized body that protects the crossover from rust.
In the used car segment, the least likely to rust are the Audi Q5 and BMW X5 crossovers, as well as the 2008–2017 Volkswagen Passat and Opel Insignia sedans. Among Japanese cars, Toyota Corolla, Mazda 3 and Mitsubishi ASX are best protected from corrosion.
