The desire to drive a brand new car is quite natural. However, before making a purchase, you should carefully weigh the pros and cons, including future maintenance costs. After all, even the most prestigious and modern cars can hide unpleasant surprises like expensive repairs.
Automotive experts have named several 2025 models that are likely to require significant financial investments for maintenance, GOBankingRates writes. This is especially true for premium cars and models with complex technical characteristics. Several new cars may turn out to be more expensive than they seem.
Lincoln Navigator 2025
This is a luxury car, but its maintenance will not be cheap. Specialized mechanics familiar with the brand charge $120-200 per hour (about 8 thousand UAH). For routine maintenance, such as oil and tire changes, owners spend up to $1,300 annually (55 thousand UAH).
Mercedes-Benz G-Class
This model has become quite popular among automotive enthusiasts, but experts doubt its attractiveness. The delayed throttle response and complex design mean high repair costs in the event of a malfunction. The car combines prestige with considerable maintenance costs.
Ram 1500
Ram 1500 owners could face serious costs due to a recall over defective sensor rings. This affects the vehicle's stability control system, posing a safety hazard. Additionally, problems with the fuel injectors have also been reported that could cause the engine to run erratically.
Jeep Wrangler 2025
The Jeep Wrangler has always been popular among off-road enthusiasts, but active use leads to more frequent suspension repairs. Annual maintenance costs an average of $694 (29 thousand UAH), and frequent wear and tear of parts can cause even bigger costs in the first years of ownership.
When choosing a new car, it is important to consider not only its price but also potential maintenance and repair costs. In 2025, premium models and cars with high technical requirements may become a challenge for owners' budgets.
