What is the best crossover of the year. Budget crossovers


Passable cars are the passion of Russian buyers. Therefore, the class of true crossovers and urban SUVs never goes unnoticed. Today we will consider the ratings of the most interesting cars in this segment. After looking at the rating of crossovers, you can choose an excellent car for yourself in terms of price, quality, practicality and cross-country ability, as well as taking into account the parameters of reliability and attractive design. Of course, in many ways these criteria cannot be objective. In particular, a good design will be different for everyone, and practicality in operation is determined by the scope of the car.

To choose the best SUV among all the offers, you need to go for a test drive and get more information about those cars that are for sale. No crossover rating will give you a more complete picture of the car than a personal ride on it. Choosing a SUV among the 2015 model line, you will be forced to reconsider a lot of offers, since this segment is very popular in Russia. Accordingly, all manufacturers are trying to launch their representative of the crossover class into the rating. Often the competition is reduced only to price indicators.

The best offers in the crossover class for Russia

Good SUVs - the concept is quite extensive. You can choose an inexpensive representative of the Chinese market and call it quite good, or you can consider a premium version of a car from an expensive corporation. In Russia, there is a huge amount of transport in this segment, but the most popular offers and optimal purchases in terms of the ratio of all important characteristics are as follows:

  • Renault Duster is the undisputed leader of the class, which received an update in 2015, but kept the cost in the affordable range;
  • Hyundai ix35 - a very popular Korean SUV, participating in various ratings, and also has a nice price;
  • Toyota RAV4 - Japanese, occupying almost a quarter of the market for cars with relatively high cross-country ability in Russia;
  • The Nissan Qashqai is a favorite family SUV that received a new look in 2014, as well as several other technologies in the characteristics.

If we ignore the rating of crossovers, you can see the really high potential of all the presented cars in their segment. And this is not because they have gained popularity in Russia. To date, each of the presented models is one of the best representatives of the SUV segment in the world. Excellent reliability and low price unite all presented flagships of different corporations.

Best value for money solutions



In the crossover rating, one cannot forget about such an important combination of factors as cost and reliability. In 2015, these criteria are the most important when choosing a car, so in most cases, buyers use these reasons to buy. However, not always optimal crossovers in this rating become the most popular. We note such representatives:

  • Nissan X-Trail - with an updated appearance in 2015, this model claims leadership in its narrow class, the price has remained affordable;
  • Subaru Forester - despite the lack of wild popularity, the car is considered one of the most interesting in the world in terms of reliability and cross-country technology;
  • KIA Sportage - the Korean is somewhat cheaper than its popular compatriot and platform brother, and the SUV also has a more modern design;
  • Hyundai Santa Fe - despite the immodest price tag, you get a great SUV with plenty of space and a comfortable ride.

Among the important advantages of all presented cars are high reliability, excellent level of quality. As you can see, the crossover rating in this category offers only Japanese and Korean vehicle options. Perhaps this is unfair, but in our country this is exactly what the market ordered. Buyers give the best ratings only to these representatives.

Optimal offers for reliability and cross-country ability

Among the important functions of the SUV for each buyer, we can highlight the quality of the implementation of all technical details. It should be noted that many representatives of the class are not comparable with the leaders in terms of reliability. Of course, the price of the best offers is quite high. But buyers are willing to pay to get a universal car for all occasions. The models in this ranking are as follows:

  • Subaru Tribeca is a great big crossover with good all-wheel drive and powerful engines as standard;
  • Lexus RX350 - a luxurious luxury car with all the features of a real Japanese SUV;
  • Volkswagen Tiguan is quite simple compared to competitors, but a very reliable representative of the European automotive industry;
  • The Toyota Highlander is a big crossover for those who love luxury driving experience and high purchase price tags.

It must be admitted that for most buyers this technique will be too expensive. You can buy less expensive competitors in the class, but they will definitely not be as passable, reliable and unusual. It takes a few minutes to drive one of the best representatives of the segment to feel all the important benefits of buying such a car.

The best crossovers in 2014-2015

It is impossible to complete the ranking without considering the newcomers to the market who are just entering the competition. So far, we don't know much about them, but many of the updates have already made a great statement and are ready to sell, exceeding all expectations and breaking leader records. In 2014, the world did not see many new products, but the 2015 model year is filled with interesting proposals in the class:

  • Suzuki Vitara - a new development of the Japanese company, which will become one of the representatives of compact SUVs;
  • Lexus NX - a car that started sales this year, received great feedback from first buyers and experts;
  • Skoda Polar and Volkswagen Taigun - the expected European premieres, built on new bases and using new technical modules;
  • Mazda CX-5 is an interesting proposal from the traditional leader in sports style among Japanese manufacturers.

Cars are full of unique offers, but among such a variety it has become very difficult to find your own model with the necessary characteristics. You need to deal with this on test drives, as well as reading customer reviews. The opinions of experts will help to get only a small idea of ​​how good this or that SUV is.

Summing up

The rating of cars in the crossover class is a great opportunity to discard unsuitable models and choose a few leaders for yourself. This is the most correct way to purchase a car, because this way you can find the best deals. Among the representatives of the market today there are a lot of worthy SUVs.

So that the crossover rating does not confuse you when choosing a car, rely not only on dry facts, but also on personal feelings from the operation of the equipment. After all, any representative of the market can be a good buy if you really like it. This is the basis for choosing your car in modern diversity.

It's not hard to see why everyone is so enamored with crossovers and SUVs. Vehicles boast raised seats, more breathtaking views, cargo space, and other SUV perks. If you're in the market for an affordable compact SUV, check out our list of the best budget crossovers of 2019.

Subaru Crosstrek 2.0i $22900

The Subaru Crosstrek is the only crossover on our list that comes with all-wheel drive as standard equipment. However, the car does not quite belong to the class of SUVs; instead, the Crosstrek is essentially an Impreza hatchback with a modified suspension for higher ground clearance and some stiff body cladding.

The Impreza makeover is a good idea, given the resulting Crosstrek's car-like handling, good build quality, and the long list of safety features and technologies available. The engine doesn't excel in power, but if you absolutely need true off-road capability and all-weather traction at minimal cost, be sure to check out the Subaru Crosstrek.

Chevrolet Trax LS $22300

This is a cheap mid-range crossover. The Trax has plenty of standard features (including a 7.0-inch touchscreen display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto Phone integration) and neat driving dynamics. On the downside, its styling is bland, the turbo engine is weak, and the available active safety features don't match the competition's offerings.

Toyota C-HR LE $2200

In 2019, Toyota began offering its cool C-HR in more trim levels, and the new base LE model costs a couple of thousand dollars less than last year's standard XLE trim. The LE has steel wheels with hubcaps, cloth seats, and not many tech features. But every C-HR still has automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning and cruise control as standard, and new to the feature list is Apple CarPlay.

Even though it's one of the most powerful crossovers on this list, the front-wheel-drive C-HR is one of the slowest, averaging 15.7 liters in testing. per 100 km. The C-HR's style-focused design also makes it far less practical than all of its rivals, but style is exactly what Toyota is betting on.

Mitsubishi Outlander Sport ES $22,000

Mitsubishi's Outlander Sport is the oldest car on this list, having first debuted in 2010. Several upgrades over the years have done little to modernize it. For 2019, the Outlander Sport will get new active safety features, though none of them can be found in the base ES model that matches this list for the price. Higher revs are quickly pushing Mitsubishi's price up, but we should note that, like the Subaru Crosstrek, the Outlander Sport comes standard with a manual transmission.

Honda HR-V LX $21,500

For 2019, Honda has updated its smallest SUV, the HR-V. The overhaul brought improved design, new specifications and more refinement. Unfortunately, it uses a six-speed manual transmission, just like past generations of HR-Vs; but now each version has a machine to choose from.

On the other hand, the HR-V now has an actual volume knob, which is more user-friendly than last year's touch control panel. And Honda didn't bother with the HR-V Magic Seat's clever system, which allows the rear seat backs to fold down or the rear seat cushions to lift up to create a full-width rear-seat cargo area.

Mazda CX-3 Sport $21,300

The eye-catching CX-3 is the most popular choice in the subcompact crossover segment of 2019, which is no surprise. Almost every Mazda is one of the most attractive cars in its class. The car may not be very fast, but the CX-3 delivers unrivaled driver satisfaction among its competitors with quick steering response and a truly commendable performance.

Mazda also offers one of the most compact SUVs out there, though the CX-3's small size means it's not as roomy or luggage-friendly as most competitors. For 2019, the CX-3 has been improved with more accessible active safety features and technology, an updated interior, and Mazda's sophisticated but effective G-Vectoring Control.

Hyundai Kona SE $21,000

Although Hyundai only debuted in the 2018 model year, it has already released a refreshed 2019 Kona large subcompact low-cost crossover with some new features. Collision warning, lane keeping assist and a driver warning system are now standard on all trims; A second front USB port and softer interior panels are also a welcome upgrade.

Although the new features have brought a slight increase in the base price, the Kona remains as affordable as it was last year, even with the base SE having standard features that its competitors are optional. Experts recommend looking at the turbocharged 1.6-liter engine rather than the naturally aspirated 2.0-liter four-cylinder found on the SE and SEL, but you'll need to pay at least $26,600 to upgrade to a turbocharged engine.

Ford EcoSport S $21,000

The Ford EcoSport has been available in other markets since 2012, so it's kind of obsolete despite getting an update before it goes on sale in Russia in 2018. Probably because it's intended for foreign markets, the EcoSport is tiny: at just 409cm long, it's shorter than any other SUV on this list.

The front-wheel drive EcoSports even uses a tiny engine, a 1.0-liter turbocharged three-cylinder. For all-wheel drive models, a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine is available. None of them are very powerful, and the EcoSport, in particular with higher trim levels, is quite expensive.

Sitting below the Ford Escape compact SUV in size and price, the new Ford EcoSport is the latest model in a fast-growing subcompact SUV segment that includes the Chevrolet Trax, Mazda CX-3, best-selling Honda HR-V and more. Subcompact SUVs are the most affordable way to get the secure, elevated seating position, truck versatility and affordable all-wheel drive that take SUV popularity to unprecedented heights.

The Ford EcoSport is one of the few subcompact SUVs to offer a choice of engines. Based on the power-to-weight ratio, it's safe to say that EcoSport models with the smaller 3-cylinder EcoBoost engine won't be very popular. And those equipped with a 166-horsepower 4-cylinder engine should be among the more popular models. Fuel economy for the smaller engine is about 12 hp on average. per 100 km. in mixed driving style.

Unmistakably the little brother of the Ford Escape, the Ford EcoSport has one of the smallest body styles at just over 400cm. some attraction.

The base Ford EcoSport S starts at $21,000 (and includes a 123 hp 3-cylinder engine, 6-speed automatic transmission, front-wheel drive, automatic headlights, 2 USB ports, and infotainment system sync.

The fully equipped Ford EcoSport offers features such as a sunroof, leather seats, Sync 3 infotainment system, remote control keyless entry and push button start, reverse control, 8-inch touch screen, navigation system, blind system, spot rear cross-talk monitor, premium sound and built-in Wi-Fi.

The base Ford EcoSport engine is paired with front-wheel drive, while the upgraded transmission is exclusively with all-wheel drive. Choose a bigger engine and you'll have one of the fastest subcompact SUVs on our roads. The maximum towing capacity is 900 kg.

Jeep Renegade Sport $23,000

Aside from its flashy looks, the Jeep Renegade will take you where its rivals can only dream of. The entry-level Renegade Sport uses a 1.4-liter turbocharged MultiAir engine with 160 horsepower. With. Together with a six-speed manual, the engine consumes 10.2 liters on the highway. and 13.1 liters. per 100 km. around the city (in front-wheel drive configuration).

Inside, the Renegade Sport offers a Uconnect 3 infotainment system based on a 5-inch touchscreen display, Bluetooth, rear backup camera, phone holder and more. Other standard features include 16-inch steel wheels, steering wheel-mounted audio controls and keyless start.

In the competitive realm of subcompact SUVs, the 2019 Jeep Renegade is a very compelling proposition. Unlike the Mazda CX-3 or Honda HR-V, the Renegade offers two engine options plus an advanced all-wheel drive (4WD) system with settings for snow, sand, mud and, on the Trailhawk, rocks or rocks. The new engine this year offers more power with impressive torque, and the updated interior is made more user-friendly. The boxy design of the Renegade maximizes space, comfortably seating four adults, though cargo space remains small. The Renegade is slightly more expensive than the Hyundai Kona, Kia Soul or Fiat 500X, but it's the only one in the group that can handle tough off-road conditions.

If you're looking for a small, fuel-efficient SUV with real off-road ability, quirky styling, and plenty of cool features, the 2019 Jeep Renegade deserves a special look. The vertical view provides good visibility from the outside, while the overall image of the Renegade is that of a clean Jeep.

When it comes to driving, you will have more fun with Mazda CX-3 or Nissan Kicks. The Honda HR-V offers better reliability, as do many Renegade competitors. The slightly larger Subaru Crosstrek beats the Renegade by offering better fuel economy and standard all-wheel drive.

For 2019, the Renegade will get a new design, an upgraded instrument panel and a new 1.3-liter turbocharged engine in Limited and Trailhawk trims. New options include 19-inch wheels, adaptive cruise control and parallel parking assistance. The manual transmission is downgraded along with the 1.6-liter turbo.

The Jeep Renegade for 2019 comes in four flavors: Sport, Latitude, Limited, and Trailhawk. The base model's starting price of around $23,000 is enticing and gives you immediate access to the Jeep brand, but is fairly easy to maintain with simpler features such as AM/FM radio with USB input, 6-way adjustable driver's seat, reclining/ telescopic steering wheel, rearview camera, power windows and door locks. The most striking impression is the lack of standard air conditioning and cruise control. We recommend opting for a more expensive trim that combines these two core features and the Uconnect 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

All-wheel drive is optional on all new Jeep Renegade models except the Trailhawk, where it is standard. The 1.3-liter turbocharged engine is standard on Limited and Trailhawk models, optional on all others. Other options that vary by trim include blind spot monitoring and lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, leather seats, navigation, heated seats and steering wheel, 506W Beats Audio with nine speakers , a removable My Sky system, rain-sensing wipers, dual-zone climate control and a parallel parking assist system.

Nissan Kicks S $19600

Nissan's newest model, the Kicks, also happens to be the smallest crossover. This makes sense as Kicks takes the place of the wild looking and now updated Juke. Unlike that funnier turbocharged model, the Kicks is fairly conventional, pairing a 125-horsepower four-cylinder engine with a continuously variable automatic transmission for front-wheel drive. Four-wheel drive is not even available.

However, the Kicks is crossover shaped and priced higher than most. It also delivers top fuel economy (15 hp/100 km), decent handling and incredible agility. Even the base Kicks S has standard features like automatic emergency braking, a 7.0-inch touchscreen, and power windows and door locks for less than $20,000.

The Nissan Kicks is starting its second model year relatively unchanged. Replacing the discontinued Juke, this low cost crossover SUV is designed to meet the needs of singles or couples looking for expressive style, rich technology and advanced safety features. To that end, the 2019 Nissan Kicks comes standard with automatic emergency braking and advanced features available, such as rear cross traffic alert and a 360-degree surround view camera. Perhaps the most attractive, the Kicks S starts at $19,600. Unfortunately, all-wheel drive is not available. However, the Kicks is a smart choice for novice drivers or others on a budget, and it does 15.3 liters. per 100 km. on the highway. The main competitors are Honda HR-V, Toyota C-HR and Mazda CX-3.

If you're looking for a crossover SUV priced around $20,000, the Kicks deserves your attention. It's stylish, efficient and practical, plus it boasts personality and comes standard with automatic emergency braking. If you want all-wheel drive, you need to look elsewhere, perhaps the Nissan Rogue Sport, Hyundai Kona, or Honda HR-V. These SUVs are also more powerful and responsive to drive.

Because the Nissan Kicks was a brand new car in 2018, not much has changed from the 2019 model. It still has an efficient 122-horsepower 1.6-liter engine, but the all-wheel drive option we hoped for for the 2019 model year hasn't been implemented.

Kia Soul $17400

Topping our list is the Kia Soul - its base price is $2,000 lower than the second-place Kicks. The Soul won't change much for 2019 - a new model is coming soon - but every trim level now has a 5.0-inch touchscreen with standard voice recognition.

Like the Nissan Kicks, each version is front-wheel drive (all-wheel drive isn't even offered). The base trim comes with a manual transmission – an automatic is available – and a healthy dose of character that many of the more budget-oriented models on this list lack.

As more compact cars evolve into sleek performance hatchbacks, the 2019 Kia Soul is appreciated for retaining its boxy, "upright" design. With tall taillights and a classy interior, the Soul has always been cool, but the arrival of new competitors like the Toyota CH-R means the Soul can't afford to rest on its laurels. Its roomy and versatile interior is impressive, offering eye-catching features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. While the Soul lacks the all-wheel-drive traction of cars like the Mini Cooper Countryman and Fiat 500X, it's still a competent daily companion, offering good fuel economy, an optional 201bhp turbocharged engine, and a 201bhp turbocharged engine. With. and a 10 year engine warranty. There is even an electric version.

The 2019 Kia Soul is a functional little car that appeals to both novice drivers and those looking for budget crossovers. Offering good fuel economy, the latest high-tech audio and driver assistance systems, and a surprisingly long standard warranty, the Soul is a great option.

Unlike many competitors, the new Soul's driver-assistance features are optional and only offered on one mid-level Plus trim. Those looking for daily wear may be happier in a Mazda CX-3 or Toyota CH-R, while those looking for the ultimate in fuel economy should look to the Honda Fit.

For 2019, the Kia Soul carries over with minor changes - a 5-inch touchscreen with rear view monitor and voice activation is now standard on the base model, as is automatic on/off headlights. Inferno Red paint is now also available as standard.

As you can see, choosing an affordable inexpensive crossover is quite easy. The rating can be continued with several more models of 2019, but they are slightly inferior to those presented in our top budget SUVs in terms of price or availability of modifications.

Review of new crossovers in 2015: what to choose?

The segment of crossovers and SUVs is still very popular among Russians, despite all the political and economic vicissitudes. There are even some crossover sales ratings for 2015 already. So, in the winter months, the following models were best sold:

  1. Lada Niva 4x4;
  2. Renault Duster;
  3. Hyundai ix35;
  4. Toyota RAV4;
  5. Chevrolet-NIVA;
  6. Nissan Qashqai;
  7. KIA Sorento;
  8. KIA Spotage;
  9. Mitsubishi ASX.

With the first two models, everything is clear - these are budget SUVs that have undergone a significant update, which has affected their sales level. The statistics are surprising - in January 2015, the Russians bought about 3 thousand units of the Lada Niva, which is 28 percent more than in January 2014.

Main reasons:

  • extended recycling program;
  • update;
  • the desire to quickly spend the accumulated money - as we remember, in December-January the dollar exchange rate fluctuated greatly, and many decided not to keep money under their pillows or in banks, but to invest in cars.

To date, the price of the new Niva Urban starts from 450 thousand rubles, Renault Duster, depending on the configuration and technical characteristics, can be purchased for 480-620 thousand.

We will not dwell on the description of these cars, since we have already paid enough attention to them on our website, talking about budget crossovers and SUVs. Let's take a closer look at the new models that have appeared or will appear in our showrooms in 2015.

Lifan X50

Lifan X50 is a compact urban crossover with a sporty appearance. It was presented to the public at the end of 2014. It was planned that sales will begin in the first months of 2015, but we have not yet been able to see this car in showrooms.

It is reported that the new Lifan will cost around 500-520 thousand rubles, that is, cheaper than its older brother Lifan X60. According to its technical characteristics and mass-dimensional indicators, the novelty will fit into a number of hatchback crossovers such as Renault Sandero Stepway or Geely MK Cross.

The car is equipped with two engines:

  • 1.3 liters, 95 horsepower;
  • 1.5 liters, 103 hp

Fuel consumption in the combined cycle - 6.5 liters, manual transmission or CVT variator, ABS + EBD, disc brakes front and rear, on the front axle, on the rear - lever semi-independent.

It is also interesting that in China itself, sales are in full swing, and if we translate prices from yuan into rubles (60-90 thousand yuan), then 320-520 thousand rubles will come out.

Haima S5

Haima S5 is another budget crossover presented at the Moscow Motor Show at the end of 2014. It was expected that production would be carried out at the facilities leased from UAZ, and somewhere in the spring and summer this car could be bought for 550-600 thousand rubles. Well, let's wait.

It should be said that Haima S5 stands out in terms of its technical characteristics. So, in addition to the fact that the new crossover will have various auxiliary systems - ABS, EBD, emergency braking system, electronic differential lock, parking sensors, all-round cameras - the car will be equipped with a modern multimedia system with a 7-inch monitor.

There will be two types of engines:

  • 1.6-liter gasoline with 122 hp;
  • 1.5-liter turbo diesel with 154 hp

The petrol variant will be paired with a manual transmission, while the turbodiesel is available with both manual and CVT.

It is worth saying that while the new crossover has not appeared on sale, you can pay attention to the sample available today - Haima7, which will cost 600-780 thousand rubles.

Mazda CX-5 and CX-3

Mazda is traditionally a success in Russia, Mazda 3 has become one of the best selling hatchbacks in 2014-2015. The CX-5 crossover has undergone a significant update: the entire front part has been changed (radiator grille, head optics, foglights), the rear optics have also been noticeably modified.

(function(w, d, n, s, t) ( w[n] = w[n] || ; w[n].push(function() ( Ya.Context.AdvManager.render(( blockId: "R-A -136785-3", renderTo: "yandex_rtb_R-A-136785-3", async: true )); )); t = d.getElementsByTagName("script"); s = d.createElement("script"); s .type = "text/javascript"; s.src = "//an.yandex.ru/system/context.js"; s.async = true; t.parentNode.insertBefore(s, t); ))(this , this.document, "yandexContextAsyncCallbacks");

In technical terms, everything remained unchanged:

  • front-wheel drive;
  • two and 2.5-liter gasoline engines with a capacity of 150 and 192 hp;
  • turbocharged diesel 2.2 liters for 175 hp (not present in Russia at the moment);
  • automatic or manual transmission.

Prices - in the range of 1.2-1.7 million rubles.

Mazda CX-3 is a more compact version of the popular crossover, although it was built on the basis of the Mazda 2 hatchback. That is, we have a cross-version of the hatchback that is popular today, which is ideal for urban conditions.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to say anything specific about prices - there is no pseudo-crossover in the showrooms of official dealers yet. Based on the analysis of technical characteristics, it can be judged that the price will range from 900 thousand to 1.2 million.

Mazda 2 engines, created using SkyActiv proprietary technology, will be installed on the new crossover:

  • four-cylinder gasoline 2-liter, 150 hp;
  • 1.5-liter diesel 105 hp

Front- and all-wheel drive versions will be available. The diesel will be supplied with an automatic transmission, but it will not be available for sale in Russia, and all-wheel drive versions will not be presented either.

BMW X4

The BMW X4 is a completely new crossover model, its production version was introduced in March 2014. Models that are exhibited in Moscow showrooms cost from 2,785,000 to 3,197,000 rubles.

It is clear that such an expensive car is equipped with everything necessary for a safe and comfortable ride.

Even in the base model we see:

  • sports automatic transmission (8 ranges);
  • 2-liter engine with 245 horsepower;
  • 232 km / h - maximum speed;
  • acceleration time - 6.4 seconds;
  • 18-inch alloy wheels;
  • 5 seats.

It makes no sense to list all auxiliary functions - they are all there.

By 2015, BMW updated the X3 and X6 crossovers - updated versions can also be bought in Moscow.

Volvo XC90

The Volvo XC90 is a record-breaking crossover that hasn't been updated in 12 years. And in 2015, it was decided to modernize the already luxurious car.

If you can collect 3,270,000 rubles, you will become the owner of a 7-seater off-road station wagon. For a large family - the best choice.

The class of cross-country vehicles is one of the favorites among Russian buyers of new cars. It is quite possible to buy a high-quality and reliable crossover for reasonable money today, because in this class there is a serious competition between manufacturers. So which crossover to buy in 2014?

Traditional market leaders can safely be called Japanese cars, but this year a representative of Korean production entered the race, and traditionally a German car joined the list of the TOP 5 best crossovers of 2014. Consider the most promising models: we present to your attention the rating of crossovers 2014.

Fifth line of the rating - Toyota RAV 4

Traditionally, this Japanese flagship ranked higher in the ratings, but this year the car let us down with an experimental design. Many potential buyers refused to purchase the RAV 4 because of its unconventional appearance.

But the style suited many, because the crossover takes an honorable fifth place in the ranking of SUVs. The car has the following features:

  • excellent assembly and maximum refinement of all elements and assemblies;
  • powerful and economical power units, a lot of configuration options;
  • the cost of the basic version is slightly below 1 million rubles, which is quite good in this class.

Due to its positive properties, Toyota remained in the ranking, although it moved to the bottom section. Demand for the car has faltered, but today flagship sales are gaining momentum again.

Volkswagen Tiguan - fourth position

The fourth place in our ranking went to the favorite of the ladies and the patron of active youth - the Volkswagen Tiguan. Recently updated, this crossover in 2014 has become even more modern and bright. The corporate style of the front optics perfectly suited the exterior of the car.

  • spacious and practical interior with an excellent level of passive and active safety;
  • high-quality equipment, a new 2-liter diesel engine;
  • utilitarian and peculiar only to German cars appearance.

The quality of the car is beyond doubt, and its cost is slightly lower than the previous participant in our rating. In basic versions, the price of Tiguan starts from 920 thousand rubles.

Subaru Forester - golden mean

One of the most expensive participants in the rating became the third in the list of the most promising crossovers in the Russian market. It is worth noting that Japanese engineers made a global update of the model last year, which was accompanied by a complete change in design, as well as the improvement of many technologies.

Today, the Forester in the database will cost the buyer 1,188,000 rubles, but for this money the driver will receive:

  • branded all-wheel drive, which is considered the best in the world;
  • sports powerful engine with a huge resource;
  • a lot of necessary technologies on board the car;
  • recognizable and very expensive outwardly design.

Here, perhaps, are all the advantages of the Japanese crossover. A Subaru buyer is a person who knows what he is paying for.

Hyundai Santa Fe - unexpected second place

The second position in the ranking of the best crossovers in 2014 quite unexpectedly went to the Korean market representative. The updated crossover SUV Hyundai Santa Fe turned out to be incredibly successful. Huge interior, impressive comfort and advanced technology - this is just the beginning of the list of advantages of the model.

To everything else, it is worth adding the cost of 1,199,000 rubles. If you think that it is expensive, it is worth asking the price of competitors in the class. It is also impossible not to notice the following features of the new car:

  • elegant and rich design;
  • no unpleasant surprises in the cabin (excellent plastics, high-quality assembly);
  • ergonomics and control of the car at height;
  • the driver's seat is overly richly equipped.

Even in the basic configuration, the driver will actually get a rich car. The Koreans were able to surprise not only by getting to the top lines of the rating, but also by the comprehensive quality of their new product.

Honda CR-V - update succeeded

The leader of the crossover rating in 2014 is a Japanese SUV with many years of experience. This is a Honda CR-V that received an update last year. The design and ergonomics of the driver's seat were slightly changed, but the philosophy of the car remained the same.

The base price of a car has increased slightly - 1,149,000 rubles. But for this price, the buyer gets a much more modern car:

  • selected engines from the rich range of the legendary manufacturer;
  • exclusively Japanese assembly with incredible quality;
  • transformation of the salon at the level of fiction;
  • the comfort of the trip exceeds all the expectations of the driver.

It is for these reasons that the Honda CR-V topped the list of the most promising crossovers for 2014. It remains only to follow the growth in popularity of the cars described above and draw intermediate conclusions about the correctness of the forecasts.

Summing up

Very worthy rivals got into the TOP 5 of the best crossovers of 2014. We hope that the current year will also pamper us with novelties in the automotive world, like the past year. Perhaps, among these new products, an excellent competitor is being prepared for all the five crossovers described above?
