This year we saw the second generation Nissan Qashqai, which has every chance of becoming as popular as the first. And although at first glance, Qashqai looks like a small SUV, in fact, such an SUV, by the way, is suitable as a family car.
The interior of this "Japanese" is well thought out and assembled. Nissan Qashqai is equipped with both petrol and diesel engines - both options allow this family car to occupy one of the first places in terms of efficiency. Alas, the 7-seater version of Qashqai is no longer produced (all Nissan fans should pay attention to Nissan X-Trail), but even despite this unfortunate fact, the “Japanese” is rightfully included in the top ten SUVs of this year.
Price: $27 - $43 thousand
Our assessment: 4.6/5

Dacia Duster is one of the cheapest SUVs on the market today. For less than $15,000, you get a brand new 4x4 compact with a full warranty and a pleasing feature set. Behind the pragmatic exterior hides a car that feels quite confident off the road, and, despite its compactness, has enough space for both passengers and luggage. Of course, there are a number of drawbacks behind such a “tasty” price. For example, the interior plastic looks cheap and outdated - although you can’t blame the build quality. In addition, the old Renault engines installed in the Dacia Duster, despite their satisfactory efficiency, are still underpowered and also too noisy. This SUV only got three stars in the crash. NCAP tests– while most of its direct competitors have achieved 5 stars.
Price: $15 - $24 thousand
Our assessment: 4.7/5

In general, the Mazda CX-5 embodied the standard of a 4x4 family car. It's nimble on the road and sits firmly on its four wheels - exactly what midsize SUV buyers want - plus the CX-5 is light enough and its engine fuel efficient.
It is also worth noting a small CO2 emission, which is very important in the current realities. But what's most interesting: The Mazda CX-5 combines a smooth and quiet ride, characteristics typically found in smaller hatchbacks with less off-road capability. Of course, it was not without drawbacks: the main disadvantage of the “Japanese” is the interior made of cheap plastic, which, of course, spoils the most pleasant impressions of this SUV.
Price: $21 - $30k
Our assessment: 4.3/5

The Skoda Yeti has been around for a long time, and as it used to be, it is one of the best small family cars in the SUV category. Unlike most of the cars presented in our rating, Yeti looks more like an ordinary car, which is slightly stretched and raised in size, rather than a full-fledged menacing SUV. By the way, if you need a car with a formidable and fearless look, you should pay attention to the Yeti Outdoor model. As for our model, it compact dimensions will appeal to those who are afraid of the gigantic size of real SUVs. Czechs release like all-wheel drive model, and the model with two driving wheels. It should be noted that the Yeti with two driving wheels is more economical in terms of fuel consumption.
Price: $26 - $42 thousand
Our assessment: 4.5/5

Many model Range Rover Sport may be associated exclusively with the pickup/pickup of children from school. There is some truth in this - the car has enough space for comfortable transportation of the whole family - however, in addition to this, this SUV feels very comfortable on the road and behaves even more confidently off-road. It is also worth noting that the name fully lives up to expectations; The first generation Range Rover Sport was one of the best in the sport utility vehicle category, and the second generation is even better. Hidden behind the polished design is a high-quality interior that is a symbiosis of wood and leather. In the front seats, it’s a sin to complain about comfortable space, which can hardly be said about the rear seats.
Price: $93 - $140 thousand
Our assessment: 4.5/5

The Range Rover is just as good as the Range Rover Sport. So it's no wonder there's no end to buyers willing to pay the extra thousands for a full-size Range Rover. What is the reason for such popularity? Range Rover is the first and best luxury SUV that rightfully deserves comparison with an equally popular car line. Mercedes S class. Of course, this car is not as sporty as the Range Rover Sport, but it is more comfortable, and few people can get around it when driving off-road. Despite its size - the SUV turned out to be huge, especially due to the size of the wheelbase - the Range Rover turned out to be a surprisingly economical 4x4 car, consuming an average of 7.5 liters of fuel for every 100 kilometers.
Price: $112 - $270 thousand
Our assessment: 4.5/5

While the Suzuki SX4 S-Cross feels quite confident off-road, we still think it's more of a 4x4 family car than a full-fledged SUV. Salon "Japanese" is quite spacious and equipped with everything you need.
Thanks to all-wheel drive, the SX4 S-Cross feels quite confident on the road, and responsive handling is also worth noting. Of course, it was not without drawbacks.
For example, the suspension turned out to be somewhat stiffer than desired, and therefore all the bumps and pits encountered on the road are felt more acutely while driving.
Price: $24 - $35k
Our assessment: 4.4/5

Land Rover Discovery has an intriguing set of features. It is this Land Rover that is purchased for long-distance expeditions to remote corners of our planet. In addition, this model is a great family SUV with five passenger seats as standard, and the ability to optionally increase the number of seats to seven. Of course, you won't find the luxury of a Range Rover here, or the speed and agility on the road that the Range Rover Sport has in abundance, but the Discovery model is quite comfortable and fully justifies its price of 60 thousand dollars. It is also worth noting the trunk, which opens in two parts - the lower part is folded into a comfortable seat.
Price: $62-$89k
Our assessment: 4.3/5

Nissan X-Trail may no longer look like a formidable SUV, but the manufacturer decided to focus on the spaciousness of the cabin in the second generation. This means that X-Trail can rightfully be called a family SUV. This SUV has partially replaced the Nissan Qashqai + 2 - at the moment it is the only Nissan brand SUV designed for seven seats. The design of the X-Trail is equally good, both inside and out. Also worth noting is the economical 1.6-liter diesel engine, which allows you to spend only 4 liters of fuel for every 100 kilometers. For the buyer, both an all-wheel drive version and a model with two driving wheels are available. You also have the choice between automatic and manual box gears.
Price: $35 - $47k

Volkswagen Touareg- This is a full-fledged SUV that is equally comfortable on the road and off-road. Under the elegant appearance hides all-wheel drive SUV, capable of challenging almost any surface on which he was lucky enough to be.
Despite its impressive dimensions, the Volkswagen Touareg is quite economical - an average of 6 liters of fuel is spent per 100 kilometers. One of the biggest drawbacks is the lack of model range the seven-seat version, however, in fairness, the five-seat model has enough comfortable space for all passengers.
Price: $65 - $72 thousand
Our assessment: 3/5

The 600 horsepower engine helps the all-terrain vehicle cope with any difficulties.
3 Bees Bike
Surprisingly, the Bees Bike is one of the best SUVs of 2015. The most important thing to say about this vehicle is that it has a unique frame. It, in turn, allows for “deep tuning” of all structural elements, fitting the bike with maximum comfort for a specific cyclist.
4. Swincar Spider
The eccentric Swincar Spider kart looks more like a child's toy than a brutal all-terrain vehicle, but appearances are known to be deceiving.

Ditches, pits, potholes and any other features of rough terrain are not a problem for him.
