Experts have called the emergency and accident-free brand

What cars are most frequently involved in an accident?

Some machines are more likely to get into accidents, some less. If you look at the overall statistics, it appears that most "emergency" are the most popular models. This is understandable: they are just more on the roads. Looks much more interesting a rating of "specific accidents". It shows how often a particular model or brand gets into an accident, given its prevalence. The rating of the emergency and accident-free brands and models made service auto.ru the outcome isocele "news".

The "threat" turned out to be the Audi S5, Citroen C4 Aircross, Jaguar X-Type, Cadillac CTS and the Volkswagen Phaeton. From 37 to 43% visited at least once in an accident. To be honest, the company is extremely heterogeneous and even strange. Cars from different classes and even different eras. It is difficult to tie together sports coupe Audi S5, a "quiet" French crossover Citroen C4 Aircross, relatively old classics Jaguar X-Type and a conservative Executive sedan Volkswagen Phaeton. Probably, the owners of Audi S5 like "dance" that leads to a large number of accidents, but to say the same thing about other models cannot.

But the Mercedes-Benz G-class, Jeep Wrangler, Porsche 911, Land Rover Defender and Chevrolet Camaro were the most "safe". Here at least we can distinguish two opposite camps: the brutal SUVs and sports coupe. But as they were neighbors? Too hard to explain. Perhaps the owners of the Porsche 911 and Chevrolet Camaro little they go, so in an accident less. A "jeep" is simply not conducive to aggressive driving.

No less curious looks by brands. At risk were Honda, Mazda, Jaguar, BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Perhaps they became hostages of their male image. The owners of these cars love to show their brutality, which often leads to clashes.

At the opposite pole was Bently, UAZ, Great Wall, Smart and MINI, the British luxury brand, two manufacturers of budget SUVs and two brands of miniature cars. What they have in common? At least the fact that their share has fallen the least amount of broken machines.

What conclusions can be build on accident? First, buy a "live" Audi S5 will be very difficult, as her neighbors. The same applies to brands with a male image. At the same time in no event it is impossible to correlate this rating with safety. In the end, it all depends on the driver. And if we talk about passive and active safety, the frequency of getting in an accident is also not affected by her influence.
