In a crisis, a brand new SUV or crossover is too expensive a treat. But there is still the option to purchase a used car. With proper care, a powerful iron horse will serve the new owner for many years. And to make it easier for you to make a choice, we present ranking of the most popular used SUVs and crossovers.
When compiling the top 10, the data of the Russian analytical agency Avtostat were taken into account. Its specialists monitored the sales of used crossovers and SUVs in the I quarter of 2016.
10. Mitsubishi Outlander
5200 units were sold on the secondary market.
The Japanese-made crossover with a huge clearance and trunk, in which you can "walk". It withstands with dignity all the "charms" of Russian off-road, including ruts, ravines and holes.
Disadvantages: high cost of hull insurance.
9. Kia Sportage
The number of used cars sold is 5400 units.
Which used crossover is better to buy for tall drivers or a large family? Kia Sportage. There is enough space in the cabin of this crossover even for passengers high and wide in bone, and a comfortable driver's seat will not let your lower back get tired on long trips. But it should be remembered that the Kia Sportage is still not an SUV, and can get stuck, for example, on an icy and bumpy area.
Disadvantages: if you stop in the cold from 20 degrees and below, at idle the temperature of the coolant drops to 75-80 degrees. This problem is faced by many owners with the G4NA engine. When moving, the temperature returns to 90 degrees.
8. Nissan Qashqai
The number of used cars sold is 5700 units.
The advantages of this crossover include: high clearance (200 mm), average appetites (11-12 l / 100 km in urban "traffic jams" and 7.5 liters on the highway), a driver's seat for any figure and a roomy trunk.
Disadvantages: the interior heats up for a long time and cools quickly.
7. Honda CR-V
The number of used cars sales is 6400 units.
The best family crossover liquid in the secondary market. Advantages: easy operation, good climate control, a spacious lounge and a quick factory even in cold weather (from minus 30 degrees).
Cons: the clearance of 185 mm is inferior to the previous model from the rating of the best crossovers in the secondary market.
6. Nissan X-Trail
6400 units were sold on the secondary market.
Crossover with strict lines, devoid of all glamor. The stove, according to the reviews of the owners, heats perfectly, the brakes are very tenacious, the suspension is elastic and soft. Everything you need for travel and a little more will fit into the huge trunk. Starts up in cold weather without any problems.
Minus: poor interior insulation.
5. Toyota Land Cruiser Prado
The number of sales is 7300 units.
This iron samurai is designed for heavy off-road battles, from which it invariably emerges victorious. At the same time, it doesn’t “overeat” the owner, spending on the highway from 7.5 to 8.0 liters per 100 km.
Disadvantages: one of the most stolen cars.
4. Land Cruiser
The number of sales in the used car market is 7800 units.
Everything said about Land Cruiser Prado fully applies to one of the most reliable SUVs in the secondary market.
3. Toyota RAV4
The number of sales in the secondary market is 8300 units.
The most reliable crossover with mileage, Japanese assembly. Confidently holds a snowy, dirty and water-covered road. On steep climbs, the “sport” mode helps, so that the car starts to accelerate. The average fuel consumption in city traffic jams is 10 liters. Included in the list of best-selling diesel cars in Russia.
Disadvantages: long warm up the interior.
2. Chevrolet-Niva
The number of used car sales is 15600 units.
If you are faced with the question of which used SUV is better to buy, then we can say that the Chevrolet-Niva is a relatively quiet SUV with good build quality. The trunk seems small (320 liters), but this is balanced by the folding seats. The chassis, suspension and brakes of the car owners have no complaints.
Disadvantages: in cold weather, there may be a problem with startup.
1. Lada 4 × 4
22800 units were sold in the used car market.
Headed by the most reliable mileage SUVs. The list of the best used SUVs in the Russian market is completed by the domestic car. Why do car owners appreciate it? For excellent cross-country ability (it can even drive along a track left by Kamaz, albeit with a slip). Riding a Lada 4 × 4 fishing trip, mushrooming, off-road to the village is a pleasure.
Disadvantages: the body is highly susceptible to corrosion, the car is noisy and voracious.
