20 best crossovers

If for you the appearance of the car and its options are the determining indicators when choosing, be sure to pay attention to this model. Here, the engineers seem to have implemented all their developments, and fit a maximum of useful options into a relatively inexpensive car. Everything is here, from the banal heated seats and steering wheel, to the sliding panoramic roof and rain sensors. This is not to mention parking sensors and a huge 7-inch monitor on the control panel.

In addition, the manufacturer offers a huge selection of external modifications. Here they are not limited to the choice of color. You can choose from spoilers, body kits, grilles and more. In this case, the internal filling will not change. Here the choice is not so wide. Only two options are offered: a diesel or gasoline engine, as well as a manual or automatic transmission. Probably, this model cannot be called the best, since it is a typical SUV, of which there are many on the modern market, but it is very difficult to dispute that this is the most attractive car in appearance.

Sometimes it is very difficult to find the perfect balance of parameters such as price and quality. Especially when it comes to buying a crossover. But the French manufacturer, it seems, managed to find a golden mean, thanks to which this model has been the best-selling model for several years now, and is produced specifically for Russia. What is so remarkable about this car? Let's start with the fact that this is the most inexpensive option on the market today. At the same time, many experts equate it to a full-fledged SUV. And all thanks to the fact that a powerful gasoline or diesel engine is installed under the hood of the car, there is a plug-in all-wheel drive, and high ground clearance allows you to travel on the most difficult off-road.

And all this at the most attractive price, but are there any downsides? According to experts, this is the best crossover in this price category, but buyers have some complaints about the appearance. Indeed, this car can hardly be called the most attractive, although this is already a matter of taste. But if you need a workhorse, then this is the best option.

In the ranking, Jolion frankly looks like a newcomer. However, perfect proportions with a sporty and slightly aggressive exterior cannot leave anyone indifferent. LED optics and 18-inch light alloys emphasize the modern silhouette.

The owners of the car respond very warmly: a comfortable and modern crossover. For lovers of destinations, there are all-wheel drive versions with a reliable Haldex coupling of the 5th generation, and the build quality and paintwork is not only inferior, but, judging by the reviews, surpasses Korean crossovers. And the Jolion units are quite maintainable due to the simplicity of their design. However, there were some complaints about weak torque - 230 N * m for the all-wheel drive version and 210 with front-wheel drive.

The model last year received a radical update, and remains the most popular crossover in Russia. Creta offers not only a wide range of trim levels - 2 petrol ICEs (123 and 149 hp), automatic transmission or mechanics, front or all-wheel drive are available. The body is made of galvanized iron and resists corrosion quite well. The owners are frankly delighted with a fairly comfortable interior and modern driver support systems. In addition, the suspension is also important for Russia, and Crete has an independent, spring-loaded one (not only in front!).

Given the cost of maintenance, fairly economical consumption (for a 2-liter engine in a combined cycle - 8 l / 100 km, for an engine 1.6-7.1 l / 100 km) and a modern layout, Hyundai Creta demonstrates an optimal price-quality balance. For Russians, it is definitely more attractive than Chinese crossovers. At the same time, there are complaints. Many do not like thin metal and a relatively small motor resource.

This super-compact SUV with short overhangs has a surprisingly roomy interior and a memorable appearance. Good equipment with power units ranging from 124 to 204 hp. With. and the ability to choose a manual, robotic or automatic transmission determine its popularity with consumers.

To technical excellence, you can add four stars in the EuroNCAP safety rating and a fairly rich initial equipment: air conditioning, electric power steering, a six-speaker audio system and Bluetooth.

Users note a spacious interior, a large trunk volume (589 l) and excellent sound insulation of the SUV.The disadvantages include a clearance of only 180 mm and some lack of dynamics in extreme conditions.

Fuel consumption is one of the lowest in the class - 7.9 liters in the combined cycle for a gasoline engine and 6.3 liters for a diesel engine. Disadvantages - low ground clearance (183 mm) and the lack of all-wheel drive in the basic configuration.

Until recently, the Chinese auto industry remained in the shadow of its Japanese and European competitors. He was famous for his replicas and inexpensive cost. But times have changed, and today the Chinese car no longer seems to be something strange and tasteless. Just look at this model, released for Russia and entered the market in the summer of 2019. This is a full-fledged SUV, although it belongs to the class of crossovers, which is somewhat strange.

Under the hood it has a 1.5 or 2.0 liter petrol engine.The first produces 150 horsepower, and the second is already 190 and these are very high figures. In the basic configuration, the front axle is working, but for a small surcharge, you can install all-wheel drive. True, the box will remain the same. Here it is a seven-speed robot with the ability to turn on low gears. The build quality is also on top, which is very important for a Chinese car, since this was the main problem for all goods from the Middle Kingdom until recently.

The car quickly gained popularity, as it became the embodiment of the postulate of price and quality. The car has already been restyled last year, having received minor, but quite significant changes in the exterior and interior layout. In terms of technical characteristics, KAROQ is a 100% crossover. But at the same time, its dimensions speak of decent spaciousness, and the transforming salon corresponds to the traditional practicality of the brand. At the same time, more than a modest ground clearance of 163 mm suggests that he has nothing to do off-road.

Under the hood, economical units of 1.4 or 1.6 liters, nevertheless capable of developing a power of 150 liters. With. The main advantage that the manufacturer managed to maintain in this difficult time is the price. This is still an inexpensive and reliable car, as if it was produced specifically for Russia. It harmoniously looks on our roads and does not burden the user with excessive maintenance costs.

The initial equipment is front-wheel drive, the ground clearance is 200 mm, however, in more advanced versions, you can get the 4Motion Active Control all-wheel drive system, which allows you to switch driving modes depending on the type of road. The disadvantage of the basic version is the small screen of the media system (5 inches) and the lack of a navigator and a rear view camera. But this small flaw is more than compensated by advanced active and passive safety systems and five stars in EuroNCAP crash tests.

Looking for a fast car that develops incredible speed in a matter of seconds? Then you are clearly not here. But if such criteria as safety and comfort level are in the first place for you, then this crossover is especially for you. What distinguishes Volvo cars? First of all, their reliability.It will not work to call such an inexpensive car, but you can forget about repairs for many years.

This is a real cruiser. He will not give you a ride with the breeze and will not develop a hundred kilometers in three seconds. But, in his salon you will feel no less comfortable than at home. Also here are the best safety indicators and this is not an empty advertising statement from the manufacturer, but the results of numerous tests, on which out of a hundred possible points the car received attention, one hundred points.

Nothing superfluous and at the same time maximizing options that increase both the safety of the driver and passengers, and overall comfort.

We have the best combination of price and quality. Someone will probably say now, how is it, more than 3 million, is this an inexpensive car? Yes, that's right, because we have an Audi in front of us, which means the best reliability indicators and the highest build quality. This is an updated model, in fact, it is a continuation of the brand line, and there are no cardinal changes in this version.

Basically, the modification touched on the appearance of the car, which became even more stylish, although before it did not suffer much from the lack of various body kits and the complex interweaving of smooth curves. For Russia, this crossover comes in several trim levels, and the basic version is equipped with a 2-liter engine and automatic transmission.All-wheel drive is optional, and in this case it makes sense to purchase it, because despite the fact that this is a crossover, it easily copes even with moderate off-road and is stable on slippery roads in winter.

The updated Mazda flagship, the seven-seater CX-9 crossover, is presented on the Russian market in just two trim levels, not too different from each other. The base version is all-wheel drive, with a 2.5-liter turbo engine and a proprietary six-speed automatic Skyactive-drive. A fairly heavy car accelerates to 100 km / h in 8 seconds.

Convenient all-wheel drive control selector and digital instrument panel.There's also a windshield projector, a large multi-media combiner with a 10+ inch touch screen, and wireless charging for gadgets.

The price-quality ratio in the Sorento gives a serious advantage in favor of the second characteristic. Judge for yourself: there are dual-zone climate control (air conditioning for third-row passengers!), heated and ventilated front seats, a panoramic roof and many other premium features. At the same time, there are complaints about the weakness of the diesel engine (2.2 CRDI), but everything is in order with gasoline ICEs - 2.5 and 3.5 liters MPI.

This SUV is the flagship of the Nissan lineup. Its flowing, elongated, impetuous profile has won the admiration of buyers. The interior is not far behind - both the first and second row are equipped with Zero Gravity seats, developed in collaboration with NASA.

The base 3.5-liter unit is offered with a CVT and front-wheel drive. An interesting detail is that a hybrid engine is available in more advanced trim levels.

Here the manufacturer decided to return to the fifth version, and this is felt at first glance at this car. The car has become larger, a third row of seats has appeared. The appearance has also changed, but upon closer examination, you understand that this is a variation of the fifth and not the sixth model.

What does the manufacturer offer us for almost 6 million rubles? Choice of petrol or diesel engine. The first volume of three liters and a capacity of almost 400 horses. The diesel unit is weaker, but more economical and profitable in terms of repair. The box is exclusively automatic, and all-wheel drive is optional.

The latest restyling of the 4th generation of a luxury crossover from Japan will not leave anyone indifferent. The swift appearance, hinting at the sporty character of the model, is complemented by a line of gasoline engines of 2.0 and 3.5 liters.
