Chinese SUVs are becoming more and more popular in Russia. The growing interest in inexpensive models is justified by the significantly increased quality of cheap cars - budget crossovers with automatic transmission and all-wheel drive have become dangerous competitors for expensive brands even in the European market. Of course, their cross-country ability is far from traditional frame SUVs with a differential lock and a reduction gear, but they can’t be considered SUVs either.

Our review includes current models of the best Chinese SUVs that can be bought today in car dealerships in our country. The selection was carried out among all-wheel drive models with a gasoline engine and an automatic transmission. Not only the declared characteristics of the cars were taken into account, but also the objective opinions of the owners who had already made their choice.
