20 popular crossovers and SUVs

This model of the domestic crossover is still “young” enough to talk about its popularity. Nevertheless, the manufacturer has high hopes for the Lada XRAY cross SUV. Last year, the start of sales of this model fell on the beginning of November, which allowed the total sales of the Lada XRAY brand to reach its maximum - 34,807 transactions were concluded in Russia in just a year.

This figure exceeded last year's threshold by 1,500 vehicles, and the current reporting period is expected to be more interesting. As for the secondary market, Lada XRAY cross is still difficult to find on it, because sales are still isolated.

The good old Niva continues to interest car owners - last year 32,949 buyers purchased a brand new compact all-terrain vehicle.High reliability, unpretentiousness and affordable price make the Lada 4x4 SUV one of the best-selling cars in its class. Many consider this car a real bestseller in Russia.

This clearly demonstrates the secondary market. Lada 4x4 is invariably in the TOP-10 best-selling crossovers. Such popularity of used cars is explained not only by a more attractive price, but also by a decent margin of safety, which every owner can be sure of.

Domestic SUV Chevrolet Niva attracted attention even at a well-known presentation with the participation of the president. But the manufacturer did work on the mistakes and continued the glorious tradition of the Niva car. It should be noted that all the filling was preserved from its predecessor, only the Soviet design was changed to imported. The machine is able to overcome the most difficult off-road areas, carrying a large amount of cargo. The updated model has become more comfortable for the driver and passengers.

Unfortunately, some of the shortcomings of the famous Niva also migrated to the Chevrolet Niva. This is the gluttony of a low-power engine, inefficient noise isolation, and weak dynamics. Leaves much to be desired and anti-corrosion protection.

The Korean crossover Hyundai Creta very quickly gained popularity in different countries of the world. Experts believe that one of the reasons for the rush demand for a car is a stylish appearance and a modern interior.If you add to this a high-tech security system and high-quality stuffing, you get quite an interesting crossover for little money. In addition, people who are accustomed to take care of money are impressed by the low fuel consumption, unpretentiousness and reliability of the car.

Hyundai Creta also has some disadvantages. Car owners are annoyed by hard plastic in the cabin, delicate bumpers, severe pollution of the engine compartment.

The budget crossover Renault Duster has become wildly popular in a short time. Potential buyers had to stand in line for a long time to buy a French car. There are several reasons for the popularity of the crossover. The manufacturer made the car stylish and functional. The car is characterized by economical fuel consumption, powerful engine, soft suspension and spacious interior. Due to the high clearance on the Duster, you can safely go out of town or park in a cramped yard, not paying attention to high curbs.

It should be noted that Renault Duster is not a full-fledged SUV, so you should not make high demands on it.

The updated model of the popular SUV again interested the new owners.Last year, 22878 cars were sold, which is more than 2200 more than the previous figures. The natural growth in popularity was caused by a deep update of the model.

This is one of the best-selling cars in the Russian secondary market - a domestic buyer appreciates the car for its reliability and spacious interior. At the same time, for a five-year Nissan X-Trail, they ask for an average of about 1 million rubles, which is not so little for a car with a mileage of under 100 thousand km. This only once again speaks of a decent margin of safety for this crossover.

Last year, 13909 people became the owners of this crossover model in Russia. This, of course, does not take into account the indicators of the secondary market. It cannot be said that Kuga is particularly popular, but the fact that there is a stable demand for it is a fact.

10.5 thousand copies separate from the best-selling category leader Ford Kuga, but due to recent events and the withdrawal from the Russian market, this will be a historical maximum sales of this model (compared to the previous reporting period, there was an increase). In many ways, the decline is explained by the rise in price, which has become an unacceptable condition for some of the potential buyers.

Since 2004, the Hyundai Tucson crossover has been winning the hearts of Russian motorists. The vast majority of owners consider the main advantage of the model to be the combination of an affordable price and a rich set of functions. Although there is a category of motorists who enjoy the elimination of minor flaws.The car is quite comfortable, it behaves well on an asphalt road and on a broken country road. In the secondary market, the crossover is not an extra, they are interested in the car and buy it even after 10 years of operation.

Experts are critical of such Hyundai Tucson components as a driveshaft, radiator, and optics.

One of the main reasons for the popularity of the Toyota RAV4 model is the high reliability of this Japanese crossover. It was this quality that made it possible to maintain a leading position in sales throughout the world for several years. The history of the SUV begins in 1990, RAV4 was one of the first foreign SUVs to appear on domestic roads. Attracts experienced motorists and the fact that the liquidity of the model in the secondary market is higher than that of competitors. In numerous test drives, the crossover has consistently risen to the podium.

The main problem of Toyota RAV4 car owners call poor sound insulation. The proposal for configurations, the choice of engines for the Russian market looks poor.

Over the past year, 33,530 Volkswagen Tiguan cars were sold by an official dealer in Russia. This is one of the most sought-after and best-selling crossovers, which decently outperformed (almost 10,000 transactions) the more affordable Hyundai Tucson model.

The high popularity of the SUV continues in the secondary market. For a five-year "Tiguan" the new owner will have to pay no more than a million rubles.A slight drop in value suggests that investments in this crossover can be considered a reasonable waste of money, allowing most of them to be returned when selling a used car.

Unlike the more affordable (in comparison with the Audi Q7) youth crossover has many fans in Russia. He, of course, is not the best-selling car in this category. Nevertheless, he confidently proved his right to become one of the most popular models, having almost completely won back the recession of 2017. During the last reporting period, almost 3,200 Audi Q5s were sold through car dealerships.

The secondary market does not indulge this model with special attention. After five years of careful operation, the owner will be able to return (approximately) half of the money spent. Affects the high cost of maintaining a high-tech SUV.

Quite quickly, the Chinese SUV Haval H9 gained credibility among fans of large cars. A huge frame-based body captivates not only with high passable properties, but also with rich equipment. So far, the rapid growth in sales is constrained only by the origin of the SUV. Even critics note the harmony of the car, good build quality, the absence of "childhood diseases".The model has similarities with the Prado 150, perhaps this fact adds interest to the car.

So far, service maintenance for Haval H9 cars has not been developed in Russia. Therefore, there are difficulties with repairs and the search for spare parts. Doesn't like SUV to take turns at high speed.

Not a single specialist can clearly explain the reason for the popularity of the American SUV Jeep Cherokee in Russia. The car captivates at first sight, so the number of fans remains high. What some motorists consider as pluses, others consider as disadvantages. A powerful motor gives good dynamics, whether it is a diesel or a lighter. The spacious and comfortable interior looks impressive, the appearance is charismatic.

Opponents find many flaws in this machine. This is a high price, high fuel consumption, lack of spare parts, expensive repairs. But Russians choose the Jeep Cherokee with their hearts, but you can’t command your heart.

The compact crossover BMW X1 appealed to motorists who need a combination of large capacity and good cross-country ability. The low, swift body indicates the crossover's high-speed qualities. The car confidently passes turns, easily maneuvers in a close city stream. Models with diesel engines ranging from 143 to 258 hp are especially popular. With. The car is perfect not only for daily driving around the city, but also for long-distance travel.

Car owners should take into account a few "buts". The car does not have a spare tire, and driving on a flat tire is not recommended.The fuel tank valve is made narrow for European pistols. Russian owners have to carry an adapter with them.

This "budget" model perfectly complements the sales statistics of the flagship among SUVs of this brand - 7222 copies were sold last year. The popularity of the NX series crossover is built into the price - it is decently cheaper than the base RX version with many similar parameters.

It is not surprising that this model sells well in the secondary market - with a mileage of up to 100 thousand km, the LEXUS NX is valued at an average of 1.8-2 million rubles. The high popularity of the SUV is determined by a relatively moderate drop in cost, which can be considered a practical investment.

Somewhat inferior in sales to the 5 series sedan, this SUV is very popular in Russia. Last year, brand new BMW X5 made 4927 owners happy, which once again confirms the stability of demand over the past 5 years.

The picture will be incomplete without the secondary market - here this crossover is deservedly and traditionally considered the best-selling in Russia. Moreover, the price tag for a five-year-old SUV looks much more attractive, and, depending on the configuration, varies from 2 to 3 million rubles.

One of the most talked about cars on auto forums is RANGE ROVER. The interest in the SUV is huge, some admire the luxury of the car, others are surprised at its cross-country ability. The turning point in the formation of this model, experts consider 2002, when the third generation appeared. The car eclipsed many elite representatives from Germany, Japan and the USA. In different countries of the world, an SUV began to be called a "yacht on wheels". In the secondary market, you can buy a 10-15-year-old car at the price of new Lads.

This British subject has a number of weaknesses. Some of them can be leveled with regular maintenance and care, while others will require serious financial investments.

The most popular crossover in our country can be called the Volkswagen Touareg. And it's not about accessibility, but about the increased interest in the car. And there is something to admire for ordinary people. In terms of technical stuffing, the crossover is not inferior to the famous relative of the Porsche Cayenne. "Nomad" feels great both in the city and in nature. A lot of owners prefer VW to be closer to ordinary people. Indeed, for an inexperienced motorist, the model is associated with affordable Golfs and Tradewinds.

In general, the Volkswagen Touareg is a reliable and balanced crossover. Often it is necessary to repair the suspension, and with the active use of the brake pedal, discs often warp.

The civilian version of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class in the back of the W463 has become an idol for the worship of many motorists around the world. This SUV is used by sheikhs, monarchs and Russian businessmen. 39 years have passed since the appearance of the model, more than 200 thousand cars have been made for military and civilian consumers. Despite the fabulous price, cars do not linger in warehouses. And thanks to competent tuning and additional tuning, the comfort and capabilities of the Gelika increase even more.

But even such a cult SUV is not without flaws. The paintwork in new cars has become surprisingly weak, shock absorbers and rear springs quickly fail.

SUV Toyota Land Cruiser 200 does not need a special introduction. For more than 15 years, the car has been considered the standard of cross-country ability and elegance in our country. In terms of the total sales of these cars, Russia has bypassed all countries of the world. Domestic car owners love the legendary Japanese jeep for its frame structure, outstanding off-road performance, indestructibility, and comfort. The scope of application is unusually extensive, from law enforcement agencies to hunters, fishermen, tourists. Over the years, the car does not lose value, so 10-year-old cars are sold in the secondary market in the region of 2 million rubles.

The weaknesses of the SUV, experts call high stealing, smooth brakes, dim head light.
