Meeting the established budget, and at the same time not depriving yourself of important and necessary options, is one of the most difficult tasks when choosing a car, especially if we are talking about a new car, and not a used one. One and a half million rubles is a considerable amount, and for that kind of money you can get a good crossover, but the market is full of various offers and it can be very difficult to choose something really worthwhile.
We decided to simplify this task for you and selected the 10 best crossovers worth up to one and a half million. When choosing a car, many factors were taken into account:
- Reliability,
- comfort level,
- Appearance,
- The presence or absence of additional options,
- Maintainability and cost of spare parts,
- Engine power and car in general,
- Permeability and clearance.
And this is only part of the criteria from which we started when choosing.So, reviews of real users of specific brands and the results of tests conducted by independent experts were taken into account. The top includes both Chinese and Korean cars, which are initially budget, as well as more expensive models from Japanese and European concerns.
TOP 10 best crossovers up to 1,500,000 rubles
10 Chery Tiggo 7
Country: China
Average price: 1200000 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.3
Approximately every two years, the Chinese concern Cherry introduces a new model of its flagship called Tiggo. The fifth version of this crossover has become the most popular on the Russian market, but in 2019, the 7th version was born, and experts say this is a completely different model. At least outwardly. Indeed, the car is very different from its predecessors. Changed headlights and grille. There are new lines and curves on the body. A lot of changes in the interior of the car. Here we see an updated panel and a lot of simulated wood and aluminum inserts.
Apparently, the manufacturer decided to expand its consumer audience, and the new crossover has become more youthful, so to speak. But the bottom line is that this model is perfect for drivers of all categories. A fragile blonde girl and a respectable businessman will look harmonious in it, and all this at a price of less than one and a half million rubles. As for the technical equipment, the 7th model has not undergone significant changes. Here is the same 1.6-liter engine with a capacity of 105 horses, which, however, is quite normal for such a compact crossover.
9 Geely Atlas
Country: China
Average price: 1100000 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.4
Having a budget of 1,500,000 rubles on hand, as a rule, you have to limit yourself in some way, denying some aspects. But in this case, you are not only unlimited in the choice of configurations, but also have a unique opportunity to save money. We will begin to consider this crossover with the richest version, equipped with a two-liter engine, automatic transmission and permanent all-wheel drive. It costs only 1.4 million rubles, and this is in the presence of all imaginable and unimaginable options. The best equipment offered by the manufacturer.
If you do not want four-wheel drive, and you are ready to replace the automatic transmission with mechanics, it becomes possible to save about 150 thousand, but that's not all. By ditching the 140-horsepower 2.0-liter engine and replacing it with a 1.6-liter gasoline engine, you save another 200,000. As a result, we get a crossover that is quite efficient in terms of performance, at a price of only a million and a little, and this is the best price on the market even for a Chinese car.
8 Skoda Yeti
Country: Czech
Average price: 1140000 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.5
Czech manufacturers do not lag behind in terms of quality, producing a unique Skoda crossover. First, the presence of the maximum set of options. Everything is here, from the usual parking sensors and heated seats, to various weather sensors and even heated rear-view mirrors. Secondly, this crossover is equipped with a relatively powerful engine. Its volume is 1.8 liters, and the output power is 160 horsepower. It is worth noting that engines with such indicators are often installed even on SUVs, and in front of us is a crossover, and a compact one at that.
But the main distinguishing feature of this brand and this particular model is the best build quality.This is evidenced by both buyers and users of cars, as well as numerous independent experts who have conducted hundreds of different tests. All tests showed excellent results, and based on them, we can safely say that we have the most durable car in front of us, capable of being compared with much more expensive products of the Japanese or American car industry, but at the same time at the most attractive price on the market.
7 Ford Kuga
Country: USA (Made in Europe)
Average price: 1200000 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.6
Initially, Ford is an American company, but today, under this brand, cars are produced all over the world and models made in Europe are most popular. Before us is the European model, thanks to which it got into this section of our rating. For this money, we get the most complete set that you can imagine. 2.5 liter engine with 160 horsepower. Automatic transmission. Pluggable all-wheel drive and lockable differential. A full-fledged SUV, if not for the relatively small dimensions and the highest ground clearance.
But the most interesting thing is that Ford broke all stereotypes. As a rule, cars with a diesel engine are more expensive, due to their fuel economy and rare repairs. In this case, a car with a diesel is on the contrary cheaper, and this is strange. Yes, the engine is less voluminous, but for a diesel this is not a problem. What is the reason for such a reduction in price is not clear, yes, however, it does not matter, since you can even buy a new Ford with a diesel unit for less than a million rubles, which in itself is a rarity for the European and American auto industry.
6 Mazda CX-5
Country: Japan
Average price: 1370000 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
One of the most popular cars on the Russian market. Approximately once every two years, the manufacturer restyles this model, and accordingly the price is constantly increasing. For 2019, this car barely fits into a $1.5 million budget, and for that money you get a 150-horsepower 2.0-liter engine, as well as front-wheel drive and a manual.
In fairness, it should be noted that there is not much variety in the modifications of this car. If you go beyond the budget, you get only permanent four-wheel drive, while the engine remains the same. There are also modifications with an automatic transmission, and as for the internal equipment, it is standard for all versions. There are a lot of necessary and useful options on board. Such as rain and fog sensors, heated seats, parking sensors in the amount of 8 pieces and other little things that make the car really comfortable. In addition, this is a Mazda, which means the best car in terms of reliability and durability, as evidenced by numerous owner reviews, as well as independent test results.
5 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross
Country: Japan
Average price: 1400000 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
To reach a larger audience, manufacturers often go for tricks, as is the case with this car. In general, this is a sports version of the crossover, and the new car costs more than two million, but in this case, only the body remained from the classic sports car, and the filling was changed to the no less legendary ASX.
There is a 1.5 liter four-cylinder engine that produces 150 horsepower.No longer a sports car, but quite a worthy crossover, albeit not with the highest performance. The drive is exclusively front-wheel drive, although the original model assumed all-wheel drive and the presence of low gears for greater cross-country ability. The box is mechanical. You will not receive any CVTs and automatic machines for this money. But, get the most attractive appearance. A compact car with the makings and design of a real sports car, but at the price of an ordinary urban SUV. By the way, dynamics and controllability remained from the sports car, which means that you will feel as comfortable as possible in the city, which is also very important for a car of this class.
4 Nissan X-Trail
Country: Japan
Average price: 1450000 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
Many will now say that this is not a crossover, but a full-fledged SUV, but this is an erroneous opinion, since the only thing from an SUV is its dimensions and high ground clearance. Yes, the dimensions are really impressive, which is not particularly important in a city, and often even becomes a minus, but five people will comfortably fit in the cabin and will not feel any embarrassment.
Let's be honest, this model got into our rating with a big stretch, since, without going beyond the established budget, you can only afford the basic equipment with a 1.6-liter engine and 140 horsepower. The indicators are quite acceptable, but we remind you that the car is very heavy and bulky, which means that it will not be very convenient to move comfortably around the city or highway with such an engine. The box here will also be only mechanical, and the drive will be exclusively front.Slightly going beyond the set amount, you can already choose a more powerful engine, as well as replace the box with a variator, and the drive with a full one.
3 Hyundai Creta
Country: Korea
Average price: 1050000 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.8
Korean manufacturers are trying to reach as large an audience as possible, so they always offer several options for assembling their cars. For example, a new Hyundai of this brand in the basic configuration will cost only 800 thousand, but we are considering an improved model that will not limit you at all, neither on city roads, nor on the highway, nor off-road.
Under the hood of this crossover is a two-liter engine with 140 horsepower. You can also purchase a diesel option, which also fits into our budget. The box to choose from, automatic or mechanical, as well as the drive, which can be either full or front. As for the optional functionality, regardless of the filling, you get the maximum offered by the manufacturer. You don't have to buy or redo anything. Everything you need is already on board, even such trifles as rain sensors or heating of all seats. In addition, tests have shown that this is the best car in terms of safety. Out of a hundred possible points, he received 90, and this is an excellent result.
2 KIA Sportage
Country: Korea
Average price: 1390000 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.8
The very name of this car tells us about its belonging to the sport. And here it’s not just the manufacturer’s fantasies, but reality, since under the hood of this compact crossover there is a 2-liter unit or a 1.7-liter diesel engine.The engine produces more than 140 horsepower and accelerates the car to a record 160 kilometers. Of course, in the conditions of the city, such speed is not needed, and maneuverability is more important here, which is also at the height of this car.
A new Kia in the basic configuration can be bought for less than a million rubles, but for 150,000 you get a car with all the bells and whistles that are possible. Here and 8 parking sensors, and modern multimedia, and heated seats. Everything you need for a comfortable ride. Moreover, comfort here is relevant not only for the driver, but also for passengers, and if you often travel out of town, and cross-country ability is also important for you as speed, then there is the opportunity to purchase a car with all-wheel drive, which will cost a little more.
1 Hyundai Tucson
Country: Korea
Average price: 1300000 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.9
This brand is one of the most popular among Russian motorists. Quite budget cars that meet all modern requirements. Before us is one of the best-selling models on the local market, which showed excellent results in independent tests. There are really a lot of pluses for a car, and let's start with convenience.
This is a compact crossover that does not differ in large dimensions. However, manufacturers managed to maintain a high level of passenger and driver comfort. Three adults can comfortably sit in the rear seats, and a trunk with a volume of almost 500 liters will accommodate all the necessary luggage. Both outside and inside the car looks very stylish and modern. The curved lines of the body and the characteristic “squint” of the optics make the crossover brutal, and numerous decorative inserts make you feel like you are in the interior of a real luxury car.Under the hood is a 1.6-liter power unit. Not the most powerful engine, but quite sufficient to feel comfortable in the city and even on the highway.
