V recent times crossovers have become popular due to the all-wheel drive system, excellent visibility, significant ground clearance. And all this is complemented by the serious and solid appearance that such cars have. Naturally, its maintenance costs an order of magnitude more expensive due to fuel consumption and a more complex design than passenger cars. Therefore, the designers have created simplified versions of SUVs - off-road unikersals. They have a monocoque body, good ground clearance for Russian roads and off-road qualities, in comparison with simple ones. by cars... Moreover, the cost of such cars is lower than for SUVs.

Choosing the perfect inexpensive SUV

What kind of crossover to choose if the budget is limited, but you want to effectively use the resources to get a really high-passable and reliable car?

If you are purchasing a car for driving in an urban environment, then a powerful engine will be impractical.

It is better to choose a higher ground clearance (3-4 cm higher than obstacles), since the car sways when driving and can catch objects underneath.

It should be noted that diesel engines are considered more economical, but gasoline ones are better adapted to the Russian climate. But do not forget that the repair of diesel engines is always much more expensive.

It is better to initially set a budget for the purchase, which takes into account both the cost of the car and the cost of maintenance and insurance. You can pick up a car in the secondary market, thus saving money.

It is possible to pick up an inexpensive crossover and feel the advantages of a car with increased cross-country ability. To do this, it is enough to decide on the model of the budget crossovers presented above and choose the modification that suits you.

Choosing a car is not an easy task, and it must be taken very seriously, because many car owners spend more time in it than at home. In addition, a good car is a sign of the owner's success, and this is not counting the fact that he must fully cope with the tasks set. It is one thing when it comes to a women's shopping car, and quite another - an "iron horse" for real men. If you lead an active lifestyle, you should pay attention to an SUV or crossover, which will become part of your image and a good helper in difficult road conditions. Today, many world-renowned companies manufacture powerful cars designed to operate in difficult conditions, but there are clear favorites among them. Help do right choice can the 2016 crossover rating, which includes the most reliable cars in this class.

Top 5 best crossovers

Before you start choosing a crossover, and the crossover sales rating in Russia in 2016 differs from the reliability rating, you should understand the difference between it and an SUV, because many do not know that these differences are often significant. Like an SUV, the crossover is characterized by increased cross-country ability, it combines in its design many constructive innovations that make the ride more comfortable. The main characteristic features of the crossover are a high seating position, the presence of all-wheel drive, although there are front-wheel drive models, and a high ground clearance, but in comparison with an SUV, this type of car is more economical. Also, a distinctive feature of the crossover is the locking of the center differential and the mechanism for connecting the second axle combined into the transfer case. The 2016 crossover reliability rating looks like this:

More than 250 thousand crossovers are produced in Russia annually. Against the background of the crisis in the economy, the volume of production of these cars in 2015 fell in the country by 39.2%. Compared to other models, crossovers are the least likely to reduce their sales levels.

The relatively steady demand for this type of vehicle is due to the fact that crossovers have incorporated many of the things that motorists love so much. They have a large clearance, which is very important for Russian roads, high seating position of the driver and excellent visibility, trails while driving, excellent cross-country ability, increased comfort and interior capacity. Their price is slightly lower than large SUVs, which makes them more affordable for the buyer.

Crossover: new or used?

In 2016, new crossover models should come to the Russian automotive market, which have significantly changed their features and technical characteristics. It was by this period that many manufacturers decided to radically revise their model lines.

Top ten expected cars on the market:

The new domestic crossover Lada XRAY, the company of which is the updated Chevrolet Niva
Koreans release Kia Sportage, Hyundai Creta
Japanese - Infiniti QX30 2017, Mitsubishi Pajero Sport
Chinese - Chery Tiggo 5, Tiggo 3
Americans - Jaguar F-PACE
Europeans - Skoda Snowman, Volkswagen Tiguan

Domestic models of UAZ Patriot and Lada 4x4 cars remain the best-selling used crossovers in Russia. Over time, they lose the least percentage of their original value.

Among foreign cars in 2015, Russians preferred economical crossover models.

Pros and cons of new and old cars

According to statistics, the demand for used cars is 2.5 times higher than the purchase of new cars. The reasons for this:

The price of a used vehicle, which is significantly lower than the "straight from the tin" model that has just rolled off the assembly line. For less money, you can buy a luxury car equipped with a large number options and more secure
Large selection on the used car market
The crossover, with an increase in its mileage, significantly loses in its price. After 2-3 years of operation, a new car becomes 40-45% cheaper

Advantages of a new car: a vehicle warranty, during the period of which the owner is entitled to free repair and replacement of spare parts.

Which crossover is better to buy, each owner decides independently based on their financial capabilities, priorities and sympathies. When purchasing a used car, it is worth remembering that the mileage displayed on the speedometer may not correspond to the real, actual value. Traces of an accident may be hidden under the fresh paint, and the vehicle itself may be hijacked. When buying a used car, you need to carefully examine it and check the documents for their compliance with the vehicle sold on the market.

One of the safest ways to purchase a used vehicle is to buy a car from a dealer network or Japanese auctions.

What to consider when choosing a used crossover?

The main criteria when choosing a used car are such indicators as:

technical condition, maintainability, availability of spare parts and components
economy of the model, engine wear
transmission condition
equipping with security systems

To choose the best SUV for personal use, you need to understand what criteria for an SUV are important to you. Then it is worth creating a rating in a certain category and going on a test drive of the applicants. Of course, such indicators as price, popularity and reviews, as well as attitude towards the brand, will wedge into the choice. Therefore, any rating of SUVs cannot be called objective. Everyone thinks from their own point of view. Having chosen the factors of quality, reliability and cross-country ability as the basis for compiling a list of the best jeeps, you can find truly honored representatives of this segment of the automotive world.

Today we will offer you to consider the best jeeps among the offers of various brands. The fastest, most powerful, passable and brutal SUVs are ready to compete for the buyer in the most difficult challenges. In 2015 and in the previous 2014, you can find many reliable and efficient cars with a wide variety of characteristics. And customer reviews, expert opinions and various sources of information in the form of photos and videos will help build their rating.

Cross-country ability is an important factor for the jeep class

The most important metric for many SUV buyers is off-road capability. It is determined by many criteria, such as ground clearance, all-wheel drive system, as well as the power of the power unit. Real jeeps have mechanical differential locks, as well as a low range of gears in the transmission. Among the representatives of this class in our rating, it is worth noting the following models:

Toyota FJ Cruiser - no longer produced in 2015 for Russia, but has excellent all-wheel drive and huge off-road wheels;
Jeep Wrangler - short wheelbase, excellent high ground clearance and proprietary transmission make this representative one of the leaders in the rating;
Hummer H3 - also out of production in 2015, has a powerful engine and excellent body structure for high cross-country ability;
Land Rover Range Rover - a whole line of completely different jeeps with amazing cross-country ability and excellent technical qualities;
Nissan X-Terra is one of the most productive SUVs in the world, it is not officially sold in Russia.

Reliable cars that have become the best in their segment do not always withstand the competition and satisfy customers with their price. Productive technologies require development and upgrade costs. It is because of the high price that many leaders leave the SUV rating, despite their reliability, excellent cross-country ability and other positive qualities.

The best jeeps in terms of value for money

Reliable representatives of the world of jeeps today are also estimated by buyers in terms of cost. Often, inadequate prices discourage a potential customer from even considering an SUV as a purchase. Evaluating the unsurpassed quality, but looking back at the important price indicator, we can single out such leaders in their segments:

Chevrolet Niva - a joint Russian-American development at a cost of up to 500,000 rides well and shows good characteristics;
Jeep Grand Cherokee - passable and very high quality large jeep with premium performance and excellent value;
Toyota Hilux - a Japanese pickup with the functions of a passable car, excellent design and high build quality, much cheaper than competitors in the SUV class;
Suzuki Jimny is the optimal buy up to 1,000,000 if you want a real jeep with a very robust design.

Considering the price of all the models presented, you will notice that they belong to different categories. This rating of SUVs offers to look not at competitors, but at the leaders of subclasses, which have become the best offers in any narrow segment. It is enough to read customer reviews to understand all the features of these machines.

Comparison of the best jeeps in the world in terms of reliability

If you want an exceptionally high-quality SUV, and it is not so important for you how much such an acquisition will cost, it's time to look at the rating of SUVs in terms of reliability and potential. Of course, the price of such cars will make even a wealthy buyer think, but the performance of the cars is incomparable:

Toyota Land Cruiser 200 - a symphony of reliability at a very reasonable cost, an excellent car for all occasions;
Lexus LX 570 - the premium brother of the previous representative of the class with a more expensive finish and a clear improvement in comfort;
Nissan Patrol is a great new competitor in the class of expensive cars with high traffic and excellent reliability;
The Ford Explorer is a large American SUV with amazing workmanship in every detail.

Cadillac Escalade can also be attributed to this segment of jeeps, but the new generation of this car is still little studied. The company has made too many changes that need to be verified by buyers and experts. So for now, this premium car is stuck on the brink of ratings and is not the leader of any segment.

Best representatives of 2015

The price of cars continues to rise this year, so you need to quickly choose a car and buy it today. In 2014, any ranking of SUVs would look different than today, which proves significant changes in the automotive world. Considering all the factors that are important for the buyer of a car with an all-terrain vehicle, it is possible to invent another rating of SUVs, based only on the presented novelties of the 2015 model year:

Volvo XC90 - a unique development of the new generation, which will outshine all representatives of the elite class in its segment;
Skoda Snowman is one of the most anticipated representatives of the European jeep cohort with good popularity on the doorstep;
The Chevrolet Tahoe is an American dream that completely redesigned its design features and added power under the hood;
Land Rover Discovery is an excellent line of updated cars of the British company in a compact design with luxury equipment.

It is difficult to imagine more interesting new items that await us next year, but there are also a lot of them. Corporations that have seen a significant drawdown in interest in old models are transferring their flagships to a new design, complementing the equipment with the most productive powertrain options. This is an important point to stay afloat in today's most complex and highly competitive market.

Summing up

Considering the high price of equipment, the buyer today has become even more demanding and selective. The choice of a jeep is based not only on the selection of high-quality vehicles with great cross-country ability, but also on more subtle criteria, individual factors. The selection of vehicles has grown into a rather complex complex comparison process, so that many buyers choose the model they need for months.

Everything is complicated by the presence of a large number of complete sets. Some models in top-end versions can significantly outperform even the most expensive market representatives in terms of attractiveness. This is also worth considering when choosing a car, because this way you can significantly reduce the purchase price, but still get an excellent SUV with all the necessary functions and capabilities.

Always in demand. This demand is driven by the fact that they are roomy, most often very comfortable, have a high cross-country ability and have an impressive size that emphasizes your grip on the road.
