At the end of last year, car manufacturers literally bombarded Russia with their new products. Moreover, in all segments, without exception, for every taste and budget. And we are unlikely to surprise you when we tell you that they all come from China. It’s good that the “fresh” product turned out to be at least not the most frightening in terms of price.
However, to begin with, it must be said that today’s “state employees” cannot be called particularly cheap – today the affordable price segment is represented at the level of 2,000,000 rubles. Well, this is our new – Chinese – reality. However, there’s nothing you can do about it: if you want a new imported crossover, pay up. If you don’t want that, drive a LADA. There is no other choice. So what does the market offer us in the sector of the most mundane ‘heavenly’ SUVs?
JAC JS3
A compact SUV with a very controversial design and an attempt to win the battle for customers who choose Geely Coolray is offered for 1,799,000 rubles. At this amount a car with a fairly modest aspirated engine with a power of 109 “horses” and 150 Nm of thrust is estimated. The engine is accompanied by a six-speed manual transmission that distributes torque to the front axle. For an additional 200,000, the ‘handle’ can be replaced by a continuously variable variator, the air conditioning with climate control, parking sensors with rear view camera and the four speakers of the audio system with six.
Wuling Xingchi
In fact, this series of letters belongs to a joint venture between the Chinese company SAIC and the American car giant General Motors. And the first sign on our market was a compact SUV, similar in size to the Korean Kia Seltos. The front-wheel drive car has a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine that produces a paltry 90 horsepower and is driven by a variator. The equipment list is represented by a hefty set of options, including a rearview camera, air conditioning, keyless entry to the interior and a push-button engine start function. For this whole thing you have to pay at least 2,000,000 rubles.
BAIC X35
The fruit of the creations of the Kaliningrad “Avtotor”, at the insistence of the Chinese comrades, cost 2,000,000 rubles, although not so critical. For the basic version of a compact crossover with front-wheel drive, equipped with a “one and a half” turbo, dealers ask 2,200,000 “wooden”. However, the unit of the car has good dynamics thanks to a herd of 177 ‘stallions’ and a ‘preselective’ wet type with seven gears. The model’s arsenal includes heating and ventilation, a complete electrical package and a cascade of safety systems.
Kaiyi X3 PRO
And this is a redesigned Chery Tiggo 4, which received distinctive decorative elements and a new power unit, a 1.5-liter turbo engine with a power of 147 horsepower. The engine is combined with a continuously variable transmission that transmits power to the front axle. Among the joys of life available in the car, the all-round vision system, the panoramic roof, the heating of everything and everyone, as well as the alloy wheels with a diameter of 18 are worth mentioning. The price tag for the model is 2,400,000 rubles.
Lebanon X6 PRO
Another representative of the PRO family is a crossover with front-wheel drive and a 1.5-liter turbo engine in two power variants: 147 and 174 hp. Of. The gearbox is a seven-speed ‘robot’ with different driving modes. The newly minted brand, which emerged from the Lifan brand that came under the wings of Geely, offers three trim levels for its SUV, the thickest of which features a wide range of comfort and safety options. Starting price – 2,600,000 rubles.
