Every year, various automotive publications conduct surveys among motorists. The main purpose of these ratings is to find out the popularity of certain car brands. In such ratings there are several nominations. Usually the best people's car, family car, TOP cars are chosen. But on our roads you will see top cars infrequently. Let's find out what models and brands are popular among ordinary Russians.

People's car

These cars are inexpensive, unpretentious and hardy enough, and also economical. The first truly popular brand in our country was the Zhiguli. This symbol of the era of the USSR is still moving in large numbers on Russian roads. More than one generation has grown on this machine. By the way, each country has its own people's car.

One can argue for a long time whether this or that brand of cars is popular. But we won't do that, ehlet's see the ratings of authoritative publications.

10 most popular cars in Russia

According to a popular men's magazine, neither firefighters nor police are looking for these cars. They are looking for people, ordinary Russians. This ranking contains the most popular cars according to the popular search engine.

This rating shows what models the people of Russia were most interested in. Of course, they don't completely cover the sales picture. After all, manufacturers could not provide the required volume, and buyers did not wait a year or two, but bought another car. But still, let's see.

Renault Duster

This machine was supposed to replace the Niva, Chevrolet and other jeeps of the lowest price category, popular with the people. This is a cheap parquet SUV. The car, despite the price, according to motorists, has a very reliable suspension.

There is an opinion that it works no worse than on foreign cars. Also, manufacturers wisely approached the choice of engines. The choice is either a 120-horsepower gasoline unit or a 90-horsepower diesel.

Assembly quality at the level. At least a little better than domestic cars. In total, about 80,000 such machines are produced at Russian facilities a year, and the queue for it is four months.

Lada Largus

This is the most capacious people's car. Largus can easily accommodate 6 people (except the driver).

The design of the car is not new, it is a modernized "Logan". But motorists trust this model. At AvtoVAZ factories, the car is assembled separately, on its own assembly line, and great attention is paid to assembly.

Volkswagen Polo

This is the most popular car in Russia. This is claimed not only by automotive publications, but also by motorists themselves. It is believed that the German auto industry still managed to put something indestructible on Russian roads.

For example, the Volkswagen Polo (sedan) is the perfect car for Russia. The model was built on the basis of the fifth generation Polo hatchback. Assembly is carried out in Kaluga. This model has a very good demand from motorists.

The exterior of the people's car is quite strict and concise. The design is very similar to other models of this manufacturer. Seeing the body, it's hard to say that we have a budget car. The appearance is completely harmonious.

Volkswagen Polo looks somewhat larger than its hatchback cousin. Engineers slightly increased the wheelbase. In general, this sedan is one of the largest in its class. The longer base allows for more space in the back. The trunk is also rather big, because this is a budget family model.

This sedan was created by German engineers for Russian realities. The car has been adapted to our roads, our weather and fuel. The ground clearance has increased, the body is galvanized, the suspension is more reinforced, the climate control is designed for low temperatures. The base model is equipped with heated seats,as well as ABS.

In this version, this machine fully works out all the money that buyers invest in it. Even without additional options, the Volkswagen Polo looks and works just like a completely solid foreign car. So you can’t immediately say that this model is budgetary.

You can say that the Volkswagen Polo is a people's car. Golf is also very popular.

UAZ "Patriot"

This car has earned itself the fourth place in the popularity rating. Car enthusiasts became interested in the car after the design change, when the front panel, climate control, and radio were replaced. Also, interest in this model was fueled by a new 2.2-liter diesel engine from ZMZ.

"Patriot" is an honest, people's SUV with a cost of 500,000 rubles. The car has acceptable comfort, it does not behave quite perfectly on the track, but in more severe conditions it is able to drive out of any mud.

Opel Astra

The car took the number of sales. The previous generation of golf cars sold well in general.

New modifications are also popular. The car is assembled here in St. Petersburg. The model is positioned as a budget family car.

Renault Logan

These cars at one time, if they did not stage an automotive revolution among budget models, then they certainly put this very automotive world in an uncomfortable position.

Initially, the model was positioned as a budget model for residents of Eastern Europe. However, a little later, the model under the brand name Dacia became popular everywhere. This people's car is quite roomy, quite high quality. And in general, this is an extremely successful model, especially considering its cost.

Recently, a newer Logan model has been released, but even the most powerful model with automatic transmission can be afforded by any Russian.

Lada Granta is the most affordable state employee

This is quite an affordable people's car in Russia, and one of the best selling ones. Granta has managed to stir up a lot of interest. This sedan is perfectly kept in the top five in sales. This is an economical, compact model. The price of this budget sedan is quite attractive, which makes it an excellent choice for many Russians.

"Granta" has no similarities with other models from JSC "AvtoVAZ". She has a dignified and quite serious appearance. The bumper is quite expressive, large headlights make the car look solid enough for its class.

In the cabin, everything is simple, but attractive enough. There is even air conditioning, although the front panel is decorated quite ascetically.

The seats are good, comfortable, the cushion is of sufficient length, so both the driver and passengers will be able to appreciate them. The trunk has a rather large size, which allows us to say that the "Grant" is a family car.

The car can be purchased in three trim levels. These are "standard", "norm" and "luxury". The basic equipment is equipped13" rims, fabric interior, noise isolation, driver's airbag, immobilizer.

In the maximum configuration, the car has ABS, power windows at the rear, alloy wheels, climate control and multimedia.

The car is quite safe, and the driving performance is quite good for its price. In addition, some models are equipped with automatic transmission.

Hyundai Solaris

This manufacturer also introduced its budget car model. It can also be considered popular. The car is a direct competitor to the Volkswagen Polo.

The machine started to be produced in 2011 in St. Petersburg. The market is presented in five trim levels. The basic one will cost customers 400,000 rubles.

"Solaris" is equipped with four-cylinder gasoline engines with multi-point injection technology, as well as a system of continuous variable valve timing. Manufacturers claim that fuel consumption will be about six liters.

Also, the machine is equipped with an energy-absorbing body made of good steel. Heated rear window, washer reservoir with level sensor will be standard equipment.

Recently, the company conducted a survey that was supposed to show the best car from the manufacturer's line for the Russians. The people's rating of cars showed that the best representative is Solaris. This car is also listed in the all-Russian rating.

The selection criteria were different, as were the nominations. We chose the most family-friendly, most practical, brutal, and also women's car.

Folk names of cars

Popular car models among car enthusiasts also receive nicknames or simply popular names. Sometimes these alternative names reflect the essence of the car.
