Many owners, dreaming of a crossover, want the car to have a soft suspension. Comfortable ride in the city and on the highway - what else do you need? And so that the suspension is as reliable and indestructible as on heavy SUVs. Is it possible to combine this?

We've checked all of the original market models for the softest suspension crossovers, and we invite you to read our review. There are no luxury cars here, with the exception of the closest to the people and the popular Lexus. The rating took into account not only the characteristics of the car's shock absorbers, but also the opinions of the owners, who in practice learned how soft and comfortable the ride on one of the presented crossovers turned out to be.

Top 5. Renault Koleos

Rating (2022): 4.36
Accounted for 700 reviews from resources: Otzovik, Drom.ru
The best ratio of price and quality

Optimum comfort characteristics, a smooth ride and soft response of a reliable suspension on uneven roads are in perfect harmony with the established value of the car. Of all the proposals participating in the ranking, Renault Koleos has the best balance of all these factors.

  • Average price: 2216185 rubles.
  • Country: France
  • Max. speed, km/h: 201
  • Suspension type: independent, spring
  • Ground clearance: 208 mm

Let's make a reservation right away that we are considering the comfort of the suspension of the restyled Koleos - it is soft even compared to the first series of the model. Engineers, who initially focused on reliability, in the updated version of the car added greater composure and stability to the chassis, while maintaining the indestructibility of the elements. Despite the soft actuation of the suspension, the crossover makes it quite noisy, at least some owners directly point out this. At the same time, even from large potholes and pits, only a slight swaying reaches the cabin. The shock absorbers are excellent at comparing the impacts of paved roads, and the recumbent “cops” can comfortably pass at 40 km / h, and the owners did not notice any gaps in the work.

Pros and cons
  • Reliability and comfort
  • Wide range of kits
  • body design
  • Illiquid on the secondary
  • Price of original spare parts

Top 4. Hyundai Santa Fe

The softest suspension among Korean crossovers

In terms of comfort characteristics, Santa successfully competes with its longtime rival Sorento Prime. The latest generation of the crossover has become even more attractive and comfortable, including in terms of driving performance.

  • Average price: 2522000 rubles.
  • Country: South Korea
  • Max. speed, km/h: 195
  • Suspension type: independent, spring
  • Ground clearance: 185 mm

The fourth generation Santa Fe is no match for its predecessors. This fully applies to the comfort of the suspension.If earlier the hodovka of this crossover was characterized as reliable and indestructible, then with the update such unusual characteristics as softness and comfort appeared for it. The multi-link design with aluminum trunnions and vertical shock absorbers on the rear axle performs as well as air bellows. They are reinforced and do an excellent job of loading cars, excluding subsidence. The use of polyurethane foam sound insulation completely allows you to forget about the unevenness of the roads - only sometimes large potholes make themselves felt by swaying the body.

Pros and cons
  • capacity
  • Equipment
  • Inexpensive maintenance
  • High fuel consumption

Top 3. Nissan Qashqai

Rating (2022): 4.41

Best price

The closest competitor participating in our rating turned out to be almost 400 thousand rubles more expensive than this crossover.

The most popular

In Russia, Nissan Qashqai is considered the best family crossover with attractive performance and appearance, spaciousness and price. The combination of these factors determined its high demand from the domestic buyer.

  • Average price: 1827500 rubles.
  • Country: Japan
  • Max. speed, km/h: 182
  • Suspension type: independent, spring
  • Ground clearance: 200 mm

A favorite of tens of thousands of car owners, Nissan Qashqai was in the rankings for a reason. The reliable operation of the suspension, although not designed for off-road, works out one hundred percent over bumps and small pits, protecting the driver and his passengers from excessive shock load. At the same time, many go to the trick, lowering the pressure in the cylinders to 1.9.With these parameters, even the R16 provides a comfortable ride on bad roads. If you strictly follow the manufacturer's regulations, then for an ordinary road the suspension will be simply unkillable. Soft work on small potholes is ensured by the excellent properties of the original shock absorber, and many people prefer to install the same original ones during routine replacement - since the price tag for them is quite affordable.

Pros and cons
  • Practicality
  • economical engine
  • Comfortable spacious interior
  • cold saloon
  • Weak off-road suspension

Owners appreciate it for its indestructible and energy-intensive suspension, reliable engine and comfortable premium interior. A reliable car provides a comfortable ride over bumps and potholes due to the design of the shock-absorbing unit. Its soft work is provided by air springs that swallow even serious damage to the roadway without looking. Perfect sound insulation perfectly complements the work of the air suspension, which also allows you to change the vehicle's ground clearance in accordance with the speed limit.
