Despite its small size, and, in general, a pleasant price, the South Korean small car has a whole range of advantages that distinguish it from its closest competitors. In terms of its safety parameters, it managed to leave behind even the more expensive model of the FIAT 500 car. In addition to traditional airbags (the equipment already includes side AirBag in the base), there is an AEB collision avoidance system and tire pressure monitoring.

4 Renault Logan
Country: France (Produced in Russia)
Average price: 534000 rub
Rating (2022): 4.4
Over the long years of operation on the roads of Russia, the Renault Logan car has shown itself to be an unpretentious and reliable transport unit, which has become a real helper and friend for many Russians. The nodes in the car are distinguished by endurance, and if they are replaced, the owner is not at all afraid of the cost of spare parts. Despite the fact that their price does not belong to the cheap segment, due to the increased resource of components, the total operating cost is one of the most affordable.
Renault Logan is also valued for its unusually spacious interior - its use is not limited to the transportation of passengers. It is enough to assemble the rear seat to significantly increase the cargo compartment - there is no partition between the luggage compartment and the backs of the rear sofa. This allows you to place oversized items with a length of up to 168 cm.

3 Ravon Nexia R3
Country: South Korea (produced in Uzbekistan)
Average price: 499000 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.5
This car deserves to take one of the top places in our rating. In its price, it has not gone far from the domestic Lada Grants, and is quite a comfortable means of transportation, despite its cheap cost.This is not to say that the car is not assembled with high quality, but sometimes you can sometimes find glaring flaws in the form of not fully latched plastic interior trim. It is the fact that this is rare that allows the build quality to have absolutely no effect on the choice of the buyer.
In terms of comfort, the Ravon Nexia R3 may well give odds to its closest competitors - Grant and Logan. At the same time, the operation of a too stiff suspension and insufficient sound insulation cause criticism, however, for this price segment, it is not entirely correct to call such things a disadvantage. In addition, the presence in the basic configuration of auto systems ESP and ABS, AirBag for the driver, good ground clearance and acceptable fuel consumption make the cheap Ravon Nexia R3 a serious competitor to more expensive models.

Rating (2022): 4.8
Japanese quality is fully represented in the Datsun on-DO. After the revival of the brand in 2012, it was decided to produce cars with a certain set of qualities for each country. Russian motorists were offered inexpensive cars adapted to our climate, roads and gasoline. It was possible to achieve a low price with high consumer characteristics thanks to the location of production at the AvtoVAZ premises. Datsun on-DO is assembled on the same platform as the domestic Grant. But the Japanese model stands out with its appearance and interior design. The sedan is powered by an engine (1.6 liters) with a capacity of 87 liters. With. In combination with a mechanical 5-speed manual transmission, it is possible to accelerate the car to 165 km / h.
Car owners speak positively about the Datsun on-DO package, the quality of parts and the affordable price. Most of the shortcomings are due to the imperfection of the Russian assembly.
The cheapest crossovers

4 Renault Sandero Stepway
Country: France (Produced in Russia)
Average price: 723000 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.4
This crossover, despite its cheap cost, attracts new owners rather than scares and repels them with its availability.In addition, the basic version of the car has a rather interesting package. There are already provided frontal airbags for the driver and passenger, there are power windows and mirrors, as well as a very relevant element of comfort for Russia - heated seats.
Of course, this compact car is worth the money. Energy-intensive suspension, maneuverability (the turning radius is only 4.85 meters) and excellent dynamics are found in more expensive cars, but for the budget category, such an offer cannot be called anything other than luxurious. In cars, even the bumpers and wheel arch linings are made of scratch-resistant plastic. As for the interior, it is quite capable of providing a decent level of comfort on long trips. If this is not enough, then in the Confort configuration, the owner will be pleased with the climate and multimedia systems.

1 Lada XRAY crossover
Country: Russia
Average price: 610000 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.8
The cheapest crossover in our review was the domestic representative of Lada XRAY. Some similarities in the model can be traced with the state employees of the Mitsubishi company. A distinctive feature in appearance was the "dents" on the doors. AvtoVAZ designers immediately responded to the identified shortcomings, most of the problems were eliminated. A 16-valve engine (1.6 l) with a capacity of 106 hp is installed on a car with a basic configuration. With.2 pillows help to increase safety on the way, the doors are automatically locked after starting off, and an alarm is activated in case of emergency braking.

4 SUZUKI JIMNY
Country: Japan
Average price: 1175000 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.4
If you need an SUV, the reliability of components and the build quality of which does not cause even the slightest criticism, and the budget is limited, you should pay attention to SUZUKI JIMNY. This is the most economical SUV - fuel consumption is just under 8 liters per hundred. The 1.3-liter engine seems weak for off-road, but due to the light weight of the machine, it does its job quite well (especially since the engine has two camshafts and its traction characteristics look pretty decent). The frame structure of the car body and a short wheelbase provide excellent cross-country ability in difficult rocky areas.
Wheel drive adjustment and high ground clearance are obvious advantages of this model.SUZUKI JIMNY has a rather simple interior and is deprived of many options of more solid jeeps, but in terms of its cross-country ability it is not inferior to them at all. Very soon (in the next 6 months) sales of the 4th generation of this model will begin in Russia, in which, in addition to fresh design solutions, a more powerful engine will finally appear. However, the cost of such a car will cease to be one of the cheapest and most affordable.

A worthy follower of the once popular "Niva" was a cheap updated model Chevrolet NIVA. Cooperation with a well-known American concern had a positive effect on the technical parameters of the car.

Rating (2022): 4.7
The most difficult sections of the road do not become an obstacle for the inexpensive domestic SUV UAZ Patriot.The constructors and designers of the plant did a good job on the car, now it is not a shame to appear on the city streets on it.

The combination of good off-road qualities, a high level of comfort and an affordable price has led to the popularity of the Great Wall Hover H5 in Russia. Now outdoor enthusiasts can cover long distances off-road, while maintaining cheerfulness and optimism. From its predecessor, the car got a powerful gasoline unit (2.4 liters, 126 hp) and a manual transmission. In more expensive versions, you can choose a diesel engine with mechanics or automatic. The Chinese manufacturer did a good job on the interior. The salon looks bourgeois, there are no cheap materials and the smell of plastic anymore.
