It so happened that a car with a price tag of about 2,000,000 rubles is now considered a budget crossover. Cheaper – sedans only. And since you really want a “jeep”, grab your money – the Chinese will be happy to master it. Fortunately or unfortunately, there are simply no other “foreign” products in the segment. The AvtoVzglyad portal got acquainted with the most affordable SUVs on the Russian market.
It is curious that the Chinese began the attack on our brother with expensive models, trying to make a profit not on sales volumes, but on high margins. But, apparently, realizing that the Russians are not ready to pay excessive amounts for the “heavenly” auto industry, the Asians diluted the line of their crafts with more affordable options. Let’s actually talk about it.
LIVAN X3 PRO
Livan X3 Pro is rightfully recognized as the cheapest crossover on the Russian market. After its reincarnation, the Lifan brand, which came under the wing of Geely, rolled out a subcompact SUV similar to Suzuki products, but only in design. Otherwise there are technologies from Volvo and technical solutions from mother Geely. Under the hood is an indecently modest 103-horsepower 1.5-liter engine, and a variator works in tandem with it. Prospective owners will have access to a minimal set of life amenities and front axle drive.
Price: 1,700,000 rubles.
BAIC X35
A little more space, and at the same time “horses” will be offered by the BAIC X35 crossover that has risen on the Kaliningrad “Avtotor”. The novelty is not distinguished by a breathtaking design, but is driven by a 1.5-liter atmospheric engine, producing excellent 116 forces.
But the gearbox is still only mechanical – five-speed. The variator appears later, but the drive remains in the front. But in the appendix, a full power package and a choice of four body colors is offered.
Price: 1,800,000 rubles.
JETOUR DASHING
And here the design is clearly lucky – the new Dashing crossover from Jetour (a sub-brand of Chery) boasts an eccentric exterior that fans of sporty motifs will clearly appreciate. Not bad and the interior with interactive design and a lot of integrated electronics. Of the benefits of civilization, the “warm” options, a 16-inch multimedia touchpad and dual-zone climate control are worth highlighting.
Drives a front-wheel drive car with a 1.5 liter engine with an output of 147 hp. with., and a six-speed “mechanics” helps him. There is a “robot”, but the additional cost for it will amount to no less than 250,000 “wooden”.
Price: 2,340,000 rubles.
CHANGAN CS55PLUS
More powerful and more expensive will be another freshly baked crossover from Changan with the model name CS55 Plus. Along with an acceptable number of options, the car boasts an extraordinary design and a turbocharged engine that “blows out” 181 liters from a “one and a half” car. Of.
The transmission is pre-selective and distributes traction only to the front axle. The car can see pedestrians, keep itself on the road and stop for a possible accident.
Price: 2,470,000 rubles.
GEELY ATLAS PRO
And this is the most expensive crossover in our review, which once had the status of the cheapest in the Geely line on the Russian market. Apparently the extra functionality and the PRO prefix have done their job and certainly not in favor of the buyers.
A model with a familiar design, but updated multimedia “rides” thanks to an engine strangled to 150 “horses”, in a duet with which a traditional six-speed “automatic” performs. The drive in the most economical version – exclusively at the “front”. However, for those who don’t mind shelling out three “lemons” of cash, there’s also 4WD.
Price: 2,689,000 rubles.
