Choosing a car often comes down to the main question: how reliable is it? Reliability is a key factor, as it determines whether a car will become a long-term companion without frequent unexpected repairs. Some manufacturers have gained a reputation for creating engines that are characterized by high durability and impeccable performance.
Experts analyzed the key brands that offer the perfect balance between power, durability, and ease of use. The top five brands are Ford, Chevrolet, Lexus, Honda, and Toyota.
Ford: American power and durability
For more than a century, the American brand Ford has been confirming its reputation as one of the most reliable manufacturers. The 5.0 Coyote V8 and 3.5 V6 EcoBoost models are characterized by high performance and have been in service for years. These engines have become the basis for both classic cars and modern hybrids and electric vehicles.
Chevrolet: legendary V8 engines
Chevrolet, a division of General Motors, offers some of the most reliable engines on the market. The LS series stands out in particular, as it has gone through several updates since 1997 and remains almost trouble-free. Another example is the LT1 engines that were installed in the Corvette and Camaro of the 90s. Their durability has ensured Chevrolet's place among the leaders.
Lexus: the benchmark for reliability in the premium class
The Lexus brand, known for its luxury cars, consistently ranks at the top of reliability ratings. Its customers spend only about $551 per year on maintenance. The RX model has become a symbol of durability and was named the most reliable car of 2023.
Honda: Japanese endurance
Honda has long maintained a reputation for creating "immortal" engines. The K, J35, and H22A series demonstrate a resource of more than 200,000 miles, often exceeding the expectations of owners. These engines are installed in Civic, CR-V, Pilot and other models.
Toyota: the undisputed leader in reliability
Toyota deservedly takes the top spot in the ranking. Its engines, such as the 2GR V6 or the legendary 1JZ and 2JZ, set the standard for durability and performance. Toyota is known for creating cars that require minimal maintenance and provide maximum driving pleasure.
The main secret to the success of these manufacturers is the quality of engineering solutions and focus on long-term operation. Their engines are able to operate without significant failures even under intensive use, experts say.
