5 most affordable all-wheel drive crossovers and SUVs in Russia
Crossovers continue to actively gain popularity among consumers, and almost every self-respecting car enthusiast dreams of all-wheel drive in the conditions of useless Russian “directions”. The AvtoVzglyad portal got acquainted with most of the budget offers in the SUV 4×4 segment.

At the end of last year, our compatriots spent more than three trillion rubles on the purchase of new cars, which became a record in the entire history of the Russian car market. In the coming year, the cost of cars will not slowly but surely rise again and purchasing power will fall. However, this does not stop consumers from dreaming of an “iron horse”, and even with all-wheel drive. Plus, the class has something to make money without the help of a mortgage and the sale of their organs. Let’s talk about the most affordable four-wheel drive vehicles…

LADA NIVA LEGEND

“Starushka-Niva”, of course, is not a crossover, but a real SUV, which can be taken to places where “SUVs” will die for a long time. Permanent four-wheel drive, ease of maintenance and the ability to repair it in the garden of your own home with a hammer and a strong word make this car truly unique. Although at the same time it still remains dirty and aesthetically unappealing. However, the lack of beauty and comfort is more than compensated by the price – only 830,000 rubles.

LADA NIVA TRIP

The more modern version of the Niva, which evolved from the Russian-American Chevrolet Niva, has a more ergonomic interior, advanced options and a modern (by AVTOVAZ standards) design. This is probably why they decided to sell the car almost 400,000 rubles more expensive than the classic model. In addition, the Travel’s engine is three ‘horses’ weaker than its ‘brother’, although this has no significant effect when slipping in the mud and overcoming gullies.

UAZ “HUNTER”

And this utilitarian SUV will demand the same amount as the VAZ Travel – about 1,200,000 rubles, but unlike the Niva, the UAZ is unlikely to provide its owners with the opportunity to travel far. As you know, cars of the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant break down much more often than they run. However, which does not deprive them of the opportunity to become popular among lovers of construction toys and adventures. In addition, the car is ready to offer much more powerful engines, ranging from 112 to 136 hp. Of.

UAZ “PATRIOT”

Almost 1,500,000 rubles will have to be paid for a more bearable body wrap, an abundance of functionality and a spicy 150-horsepower engine. In addition, future owners will certainly appreciate the incredibly spacious “patriotic” interior, “multimedia” that understands the language of smartphones, navigation and climate control.

HAVAL JOLION

And this is the most affordable foreign car with all-wheel drive: a Chinese Haweil with registration near Tula. For 2,000,000 rubles, buyers get a really comfortable crossover (compared to products of the domestic automotive industry), and with a lot of different options and safety systems, including even an automatic parking function.

But the ride here will be simpler: connected via a link. Although, to be honest, no one will go into the wilderness with this “Chinese”, but he will certainly pull him out of a snowdrift in the yard. As for the engine, under the hood rustles a turbo engine with 150 “horses”, which are driven by a “robot” prone to overheating, whose resources leave much to be desired.

It is worth adding that in the price range up to 3,000,000 rubles there are other all-wheel drive models, including Geely Atlas Pro, Haval F7 and Chery Tiggo 7 Pro Max. Only they will all be Chinese.
