The German Automobile Club ADAC Reliability Index for 2024 rates 156 models of 20 car manufacturers between three and ten years old, of which at least 7,000 have been registered in Germany in some period between 2014 and 2021. The ADAC Reliability Index is calculated from the number of Yellow Angel roadside assistances per 1,000 registered vehicles.
In the executive/full-size class, none of the cars achieved particularly bad results. Even the 2015 Opel Zafira, which did not perform well last year, stayed in the orange this time. Traditionally, the best performers in this category were the Audi and BMW models, as well as the Volkswagen Touareg.
