Despite the instability of the ruble, in 2016 car manufacturers presented a number of premieres to the public in Russia. It should be noted that today, the market has seen a sharp decline in frame SUVs. However, among car owners who know a lot about cars, such SUVs are popular. That is why manufacturers decided to update a number of cars. These are completely new models that have made great strides in terms of comfort and state of the art equipment.

All these changes did not affect the most important part of the car, this is the frame arrangement of the chassis, which is capable of providing the SUV with high cross-country ability outside the asphalt. Let's take a look at the most memorable frame SUVs of 2016:

• Toyota Land Cruiser 200
• Mitsubishi pajero Sport
• Ford explorer
• Great wall H3
• Toyota Fortuner

Toyota land cruiser 200 specifications

Particular attention should be paid to the new version of the 2016 Toyota Land Cruiser 200. This model is the benchmark in its class. When updating specifications Toyota Land Cruiser 200 has not changed much, as they are quite powerful. This car has an eight-cylinder motor, 235 - strong.

The main changes affected the appearance of the car. The headlights have changed, the radiator grille is a bit similar to those used on brands such as Lincoln Navigator. These changes had a very good effect on the appearance of the car, it gave it laconicism, and it became less heavy in appearance.

By purchasing such an SUV in the basic kit, the driver gets a leather interior, a multimedia system, and a rear-view camera, which greatly facilitates the task of parking such a powerful unit.

The owners are completely satisfied with their choice. The very powerful engine and motor show incredible off-road driving capabilities.

Mitsubishi Pajero Sport: price on the market

It is impossible to ignore the updated Mitsubishi Pajero sport... The elegant visual change of the car will not leave anyone indifferent. Changed headlights have become more swept. But it should be noted that the changes also affected the cost of the car. Previous versions could be purchased from 1.4 million to 1.7 million, but the price of the 2016 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport is around 2.5 million rubles.

Updates have also affected the interior of the car, which is dominated by a chic finish only from high-quality materials. This unit has received a new seven-seat version. The improved aerodynamic performance has a great influence on the noise level while driving. The new adjustment also affected the car body itself, thanks to which it became larger. In terms of performance, the updated SUV features an 181-horsepower engine that has an eight-speed gearbox, additional off-pavement features, and fuel-saving capabilities.

2016 compact crossovers: who we will remember

The 2016 Ford Explorer also received an impressive array of updates. Changes in the exterior, redesigned headlights, and a new grille. Such changes had a good effect on the appearance of the car. The interior has received the latest trim from quality leather, and the expensive versions have got inserts from ash and aluminum. The car acquired several rear-view cameras for easier parking, increasing the viewing angle to 180 degrees.

Ford Explorer received a parallel parking assist system, as well as a number of other interesting features. It's worth noting that previous variants of the car have been criticized for the power of the large car.

In this version, the developers finally awarded the car with a turbocharged engine of 280 forces. The motor has a six-speed transmission. Car owners should appreciate sufficiently significant changes in the model, however ford price Explorer 2016 has grown significantly.

Great wall h3

It is worth noting the updated frame SUV of Chinese developers - the Great Wall H3 2016. This car has significant changes in relation to its descendants. The appearance of the car also succumbed to innovations. He received a new wide grille, which has become quite large and not at all characteristic of these car brands.

Improvements have overtaken the interior of the car, the central control system has become more modern in terms of design and functions. As for the little things, it is worth noting that the developers have become attentive, and in the cabin it is almost impossible to find uncovered bolts rather than a wound. As for the power of the car, there have been no significant changes, the car uses a four-cylinder gasoline engine, and owns 116 forces. It has mechanical box gears in five steps.

Toyota Fortuner

It is worth noting another novelty of the updated frame SUV Toyota Fortuner 2016. Unfortunately, this model is not yet available for sale in Russia, but the residents of Kazakhstan were able to appreciate the updates.

The updated design was able to outshine only the power unit of the car. It has special features when choosing light or heavy fuel. Their volume is 2.5 and 3 liters. The developers paid special attention to diesel engine, and were able to bring its environmental friendliness, low fuel consumption and noise reduction, as in gasoline analogues. The changes affected the car's interior.

More expensive configurations have got a beige leather interior, as well as an electric tailgate system. There is a possibility of contactless door opening, as well as starting the engine using a button. Many more features were acquired by this SUV, which until now were possessed only by cars of a higher class.

Summarize

It is worth noting that the automotive world has undergone a number of worthy updates, thanks to which the performance and equipment of cars has leaped forward. The body design, changes in functionality, power and equipment with modern control systems could not but affect the cost of frame SUVs. Of course, improvements to the machine also affect the increase in the cost of the unit. Most of the models that received restyling were not presented to the Russian market, due to the unstable economy and a decrease in interest in expensive cars.

The appearance of updated versions of frame SUVs proves the demand for their operation. Despite the replenishment of the market with crossovers, which have good performance when passing a test drive, SUVs will not lose popularity in the automotive markets, as they are the main way of a comfortable ride regardless of road conditions.

The outgoing year turned out to be one of the most difficult for the automotive market in our country over the past ten years. Rising prices and, as a result, a sharp drop in demand for vehicles negatively affected the profits of almost all car manufacturers. These destructive processes led to the fact that many models left russian market, and the output of new products has temporarily "slowed down".

Nevertheless, the relative stabilization of the ruble exchange rate led to the fact that in 2016 a number of automakers decided to present their premieres in Russia. This also affected the SUV market in 2016 model year, which will also appear in our country.

In this article we will try to talk about real frame SUVs that will be available in Russia in 2016. There are not so many of them, but each of the presented cars is significant in its own way.

General situation on the frame SUV market

IN last years the market for "purebred" frame SUVs shrank significantly. The reason for this was the emergence of a large number of "parquet" crossovers, which, with tolerable cross-country parameters, provide the comfort and controllability of a passenger sedan or station wagon.

However, practice has shown that frame SUVs have their own consumer audience, and their buyers do not agree to "half measures". It is for this reason that in 2016 almost all SUV manufacturers decided on a major update lineup.

They presented a number of completely new models that have gone far ahead of their predecessors in terms of comfort and equipment with modern systems, but at the same time retained the main feature of the chassis frame layout - high cross-country ability.

So let's see what they are - 2016 SUVs.

Japanese

It is known that on the Russian market the main part of frame SUV models is offered by Japanese automakers. Almost all of them offer completely redesigned versions of their vehicles, which are in different price ranges, but at the same time offer a high level of off-pavement cross-country ability.

Perhaps the first SUV of 2016 that deserves the closest attention will be the restyled version of the Toyota Land Cruiser 200.

The developers of the car did not significantly modify technical part SUV, which is already one of the benchmarks in its class.

Video - Toyota Land Cruiser 200 (2016):

The changes affected only the appearance of the car and the interior. In particular, the updated "Kruzak" received completely new headlights, somewhat similar to those used on the Lincoln Navigator and a new grille. It is worth saying that such changes clearly benefited the car, and the appearance of the car began to look much more harmonious and less heavy.

Video - SUV 2016 Toyota Land Cruiser 200:

Inside the cabin, attention is drawn to a new multimedia system with a touchscreen, a different shape of the dashboard and center console, as well as improved quality materials.

Even in basic configuration the new Land Cruiser will receive leather trim and a range of electronic assistants, including one that greatly simplifies parking the huge SUV.

The power unit for our market will remain the same - it will be a well-proven eight-cylinder 235-horsepower engine working with.

Among the premieres of Japanese automakers, no less significant for the Russian market is the appearance of the third generation of the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport SUV, which received a completely new design and reached a qualitatively new level of its technical development.

The premiere of the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport 2016 model year took place in Thailand in August, and the novelty was based on a platform from a new generation of Mitsubishi L200 pickup truck, sales of which, by the way, also started in our country.

The first thing that attracts attention in Mitsubishi Pajero Sport is its design, made in the spirit of new corporate trends. Sharp edges, complex shape of arrow-shaped lighting technology - all this works favorably on the image of the car.

Video - Mitsubishi Pajero Sport 2016:

The visually utilitarian SUV in the former has become more "premium". Perhaps this fact will slightly smooth out the strong rise in price of a car in Russia, because the novelty will be sold here at a price of two million rubles (as you know, the previous generation of Mitsubishi Pajero Sport before the crisis was estimated at 1 million 400 thousand for the simplest configuration, and after the price increase increased to 1 million 700 thousand rubles).

Positive changes have also taken place in the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport 2016 model year. Of course, the interior is similar to a similar finish used on a soplatform pickup, but the quality of materials has become significantly better in comparison with the previous generation of the car.

Moreover, the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport has not only a standard five-seater, but also a seven-seater version, which makes the car a good choice for a family. However, this news does not play a significant role for Russia, since “seven-seaters” have never been in particularly high demand here.

In accordance with the latest trends in automotive fashion, the center console of the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport 2016 is equipped with a touchscreen display with good graphics, which is responsible for setting up multimedia systems, as well as controlling some car functions. The ergonomics have also improved significantly, and the improved aerodynamic performance has a positive effect on the level of driving noise in the vehicle interior.

The dimensions of the new generation Mitsubishi Pajero Sport have also been adjusted. The car has become a little larger - now its length is 4785 mm with a wheelbase length of 2800 mm.

Video - comparison of 2016 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport and 2016 Ford Everest:

The latter factor made it possible to increase the capacity in the back row of seats, and in front the range of longitudinal adjustment of the seats was increased (on a car of the last generation, the limited range of adjustments caused questions from drivers who were more than 180 centimeters tall).

The SUV's ground clearance has also been increased, but here the difference with its predecessors is minimal and is only three millimeters - for the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport new version, the ground clearance is stated at 218 millimeters. However, this indicator is already very good and speaks eloquently that the novelty has completely retained the excellent parameters of geometric cross-country ability, which were characteristic of cars of past generations.

By the way, the increase in the retail price had a positive effect on the configuration of the car, which is already in its initial version, seven airbags, heated seats and steering wheel and parking sensors.

A 181-horsepower 2.4-liter engine will be available for the Russian market as a power unit for the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport 2016. It will be paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, which has a number of modes for off-road driving and allows when driving on the highway.

Speaking of the new Mitsubishi Pajero Sport, one cannot but recall its "older brother" - the Mitsubishi Pajero SUV, which has long been outdated morally and physically. Last year, in one of our materials, we expressed the hope that a new generation of the iconic SUV will be released in 2015.

Many automotive experts suggested this, but financial difficulties forced the Japanese manufacturer to reconsider its plans. According to some reports, new Mitsubishi Pajero may appear in 2016, but it is too early to say with confidence.

Let's just remind that the new generation car should become one of the most interesting proposals in the class, both in terms of cross-country ability and saturation with modern comfort and safety systems.

Speaking of 2016 SUVs built on the basis of pickups, one cannot ignore the iconic Toyota Fortuner for many countries, which has also been completely updated this year. In general, we wanted to talk about it at the very beginning, talking about the new generation of Toyota Landcruiser, but nevertheless we decided to talk about the car after the story about Pajero Sport 2016.

The fact is that these models have a lot in common and in most markets they are direct competitors.

Video - 2016 Toyota Fortuner Vs 2016 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport:

However, to the great regret of Russian motorists, Toyota Fortuner is not for sale in our country. However, there is hope that with the change of generations and the beginning of the release of new items in Kazakhstan, Toyota will nevertheless revise its marketing policy and decide to bring this relatively affordable frame SUV to our market.

So what is so special about the 2016 Toyota Fortuner? Like its counterpart from Mitsubishi, primarily by design. Car new generation has gone far ahead of the rustic appearance of its predecessor. The quality of the interior panels has also improved significantly, so that according to these criteria, both competitors are quite worthy of each other.

For Toyota Fortuner 2016, the creators have provided for three power units at once on "light" and "heavy" fuel. The petrol 240-horsepower engine with a working volume of four liters will become a kind of "flagship" in the range.

There will also be presented two turbodiesels with a capacity of 144 and 171 horsepower, the working volume of which will be 2.5 and 3 liters, respectively. At the same time, when creating diesel engines, the developers focused on environmental friendliness, low fuel consumption, as well as reducing noise and vibrations, bringing engines closer to gasoline analogues in this parameter.

Video - SUV Toyota Fortuner 2016:

The economy has also significantly improved - "Fortuner" with the least powerful diesel engine can consume about 8 liters of diesel fuel per hundred kilometers in a combined driving cycle, which is excellent result for a full-size SUV.

At the same time, all units can be equipped with both an automatic transmission with four or five steps, and a five-step "mechanics", which expands the customer's options in choosing a transmission based on their own tasks and preferences.

Already in the starting version, Toyota Fortuner has permanent all-wheel drive and rear brakes disc type with anti-lock braking system. Also, for a surcharge, it is possible to install an anti-skid system, which has special modes for driving on gravel or snow, as well as an assistance system when starting on a slope.

The interior equipment of the Toyota Fortuner 2016 has also gone far ahead of the concept of utility. In expensive trim levels, the car can have a beige leather interior, be equipped with an electric tailgate, rearview video system, multimedia and navigation system with a touchscreen display, keyless entry to the salon and starting the engine with a button and a number of other technical solutions that until recently were characteristic only of SUVs of a much higher class.

In this case, the instrument panel and the center console in expensive versions have leather trim, which is also uncharacteristic for a car created on the basis of a utility pickup.

Ford

Continuing the conversation about frame SUVs of 2016, built on the basis of pickups, one more car should be noted, which, like Toyota Fortuner, is not yet represented on the Russian market, but has a chance to get on it. We are talking about Ford Everest 2016, built on the platform of the latest generation Ford Ranger pickup truck known in our country.

Unlike Toyota and Mitsubishi, Ford engineers have relied on the conservative and brutal design typical of the pickup when creating the Ford Everest. Of course, the exterior of the car has undergone adjustments, but the overall style remained the same, which had a positive effect on the recognition of the model.

It is worth noting that new Ford Everest is a classic full-frame SUV with a length of over five meters and a mass of over two tons.

The comfortable interior of the car can accommodate, depending on the version, five or seven people and is made, as well as the exterior, in a rather conservative manner.

Video - SUV Ford Everest 2016:

At the same time, expensive configurations are distinguished by the presence of many modern systems and quality finishes using polished aluminum and leather inlays. The center console features a high-quality eight-inch touchscreen display in front of the driver and passenger. The dashboard is also equipped with two electronic displays, which show the information the driver needs.

The engine range offered for the 2016 Ford Everest includes three units. The first of them is a two-liter gasoline engine that develops a power of 240 horsepower. The other two engines are diesel, with a working volume of 2.2 and 3.2 liters, developing the same power of 250 forces. For a less "volumetric" engine, the engineers managed to achieve such indicators through the use of turbocharging.

At the same time, two transmissions are available for diesel engines at once - a six-speed "automatic" and a traditional "mechanics". The gasoline version of "Everest" is completed exclusively with an "automatic".

Structurally, the Ford Everest is a classic SUV with independent suspension at the front and continuous axle at the rear.

The car is equipped with an electric power steering, an all-wheel drive transmission already in the basic version, as well as an anti-skid system that has algorithms for working in snow, sand and grass, as well as acting as an assistant during a steep descent.

Brake system is also common and offers ventilated discs at the front and drum brakes at the rear. Expensive versions of this SUV can be equipped with most modern systems, including a complex for tracking "blind spots", traffic lane and others. The preliminary price of the Ford Everest 2016 will be 35 thousand dollars, however, the Ford concern has not yet informed about the start of sales in our country.

Another novelty in the SUV market in 2016 can be considered the Ford Explorer, which has undergone a number of improvements. In fact, the car known in our market is a cross between classic SUVs and large crossovers, offering a monocoque body and comfort typical of large crossovers. At the same time, the car has a large number of systems focused on off-road driving, which allows us to consider the Ford Explorer 2016 in this review.

So how does the car differ from the previous version? First of all, the design of the car has undergone changes. In particular, the updated Ford Explorer received optional lED headlights headlights of a new design, a different grille, fog lamps in the form of brackets, integrated into the redesigned bumper. In general, the changes have clearly benefited the large SUV and had a positive effect on its external perception.

In addition to the exterior changes, the interior of this large 2016 SUV has also undergone improvements. These changes for consumers are very significant and are expressed in a significant improvement in the quality of interior materials (recall that the car of the previous generation was often scolded for rather budget finishing materials).

Now, the interior of the car in expensive versions is trimmed with expensive Nirvana leather, and on the front model, inserts made of natural ash or polished aluminum are used.

Also, the multimedia system with an eight-inch screen has undergone modernization, which now features improved graphics and speed of response to commands. The "multimedia" menu was also somewhat simplified in use, since the previous version "sinned" with a number of flaws in this regard.

The vehicle's optional equipment has also been revised by the manufacturer. In particular, to facilitate parking of a five-meter SUV, two rear-view cameras are now installed at once, equipped with a self-cleaning system and having a viewing angle of 180 degrees. In addition, the car is equipped with a parallel and perpendicular parking assistance system and a number of other interesting technical solutions.

Past ford generation The Explorer was often criticized for its relatively low-powered engine for a car of this size and class. Updated SUV 2016 model year is now equipped with a turbocharged 280-horsepower engine of the Eco Boost family, developing a torque of 420 Newton meters.

Video - an overview of the equipment and capabilities of the Ford Explorer 2016 SUV:

This motor is aggregated with a six-speed automatic transmission. The fuel consumption of an SUV in a mixed mode of operation is about 13.1 liters per hundred kilometers. Also, a V6 power unit is offered for the car, which has a working volume of 3.5 liters and a power of 365 horsepower.

Mercedes

Analyzing the market of American and European SUVs, one cannot fail to mention the facelift that the GL-Class from Mercedes has undergone. From now on, this large SUV is offered with a new name to match the changed model nomenclature of the Stuttgart automaker. — Mercedes-Benz GLS.

The changes for the car are not very significant and include new lighting equipment, made in accordance with the trend of the latest models of the company, as well as new bumpers and aerodynamic body kit.

Video - 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLS:

The interior of the car has also undergone revision and resembles that of the Mercedes-Benz GLE. Also has undergone improvements legendary Gelendvagen, which received an upgraded suspension, as well as minor interior improvements.

Korean

Speaking about the "giants" of the automotive industry, it is worthwhile to separately talk about manufacturers of relatively affordable all-wheel drive SUVs from Korea and China. There will also be some changes here in 2016.

In particular, Ssang Yong is actively testing its flagship 2016 Rexton SUV. While the appearance and technical characteristics are kept secret, it is already known that the design solutions used in the exterior of the novelty will overlap with those on the SsangYong LIV concept car, which was presented in 2015 in Korea.

Video - SUV 2016 Ssang Yong Rexton:

It is only known that the basis of the car will be frame structure, that is, Ssang Yong Rexton 2016 will retain the main advantages of its predecessor - high cross-country ability.

Chinese

Among the Chinese SUVs, frame models are still represented by Great Wall cars, and specifically by the five-seat H3 SUV of the 2016 model year.

Despite the fact that this machine is based on a frame platform old model Isuzu Axiom, this car enjoys well-deserved popularity in the Russian market thanks to affordable price, which even in the crisis of 2015 did not exceed reasonable values, stopping at just over 900 thousand rubles for an all-wheel drive SUV with air conditioning and a number of additional comfort elements.

Great Wall H3 2016 has changed significantly in comparison with its predecessors. In particular, the design of the car underwent improvements: it received a new radiator grill, which became monumental and large.

Also, the interior has undergone improvements: ergonomics have improved, the quality of assembly of individual panels, and the center console has become much more modern in design. I must say that Chinese engineers began to pay attention to trifles - from now on, there are practically no undisguised self-tapping screws and other technical deficienciesthat met on previous cars.

Technical characteristics of the Great Wall H3 have not changed. As a power unit, a 116-horsepower four-cylinder gasoline engine with a working volume of two liters, working with a mechanical five-speed gearbox, is also used.

Video - test drive Great Wall Hover H3 New off-road:

The traction characteristics of this motor are quite enough for a leisurely ride on the track and off-road assault. At the same time, high geometric cross-country ability, frame structure and four-wheel drive allow you to effectively cope with very difficult road conditions.

At the same time, the Great Wall H3 is distinguished by its high roominess and provides a high level of ride comfort, in which it significantly surpasses many frame SUVs, including its main competitor - domestic UAZ A patriot who, as you know, has undergone another modernization.

Domestic

Domestic range of all-wheel drive SUVs in 2016 is well represented famous models Lada 4x4, UAZ Patriot and Chevrolet Niva.

Of these, only the UAZ has undergone significant revision, which received new front lighting equipment with LED running lights of an unusual shape, a modern multimedia system with a touch screen and other dashboard.

Video - updated UAZ Patriot:

However, changes in the domestic car market are also planned - it was recently announced that work on the creation of a new generation of Chevrolet Niva, which had been previously suspended, has been resumed. The joint venture plans to present the car of the new generation by the end of 2016 - the beginning of 2017. There is no data on the technical characteristics of the car yet, but the engineers assure that the new product will retain the high cross-country ability of its predecessor.

Final analysis of the SUV market in 2016

As you can see, the SUV market in 2016 underwent a number of changes and was replenished with new and very interesting models. It's a pity that many of the cars mentioned in the article are not yet supplied to our country, and the manufacturers have not yet made an exact decision on the start of sales.

This is connected, of course, with a difficult economic situation and a sharp stagnation of the market, as a result of which manufacturers have become very wary of the domestic car market.

However, despite this, the appearance of a number of cars from the category of "purebred jeeps" speaks of a revival of interest in this kind of cars, even despite the widespread distribution of crossovers (by the way, by 2016, manufacturers "stocked" much more of them than frame models, and about we will tell you about the novelties of this segment in a separate article).

Real sales will show how justified the tactics of companies focusing on the development of the frame model segment will be, but already now we can say that last year's price increase will surely lead to the fact that the demand for SUVs in Russia will be very moderate.

After all, the pricing policy of most manufacturers has been adjusted towards a significant rise in price, and even budget models of frame "crooks" find themselves in the same price range as "luxury" crossovers and sedans.

Against the background of this economic situation, an increase in interest in Chinese and Russian-made SUVs can be predicted. Despite the rise in price, price adjustments affected them to a lesser extent, and therefore 2016 could be a russian car industryas well as manufacturers from the Middle Kingdom are very interesting in terms of sales growth.

However, there is a chance that the stabilization of the market will nevertheless lead to a decrease in prices and a return of the level of sales to previous indicators. Perhaps, in this case, the auto companies will adjust the cost of their 2016 SUV models and still decide to withdraw many interesting models that are discussed in this publication. It is difficult to predict how the situation will develop in reality.

How to quickly get rid of scratches on the car body

Modern developments in the classroom passable cars really surprise with their manufacturability. In 2014-2015, the new SUVs will amaze customers with their performance, cheap trim levels and efficient engines. Already at the end of 2014, many companies plan to present jeeps with updated parameters, and at the beginning of 2015, several absolute new products will be presented - models that we did not know before. Let's look at how inexpensive it will be to get in a new jeep.

Nissan Pathfinder 2015 - update is coming

Rough design and excellent technical characteristics - this is what characterized a real Japanese SUV. Many skeptics argue that Nissan is too active with Chinese manufacturers, but in fact this only positively affects the price, making the updated Pathfinder relatively inexpensive. The car will receive many innovations:

The introduction of dynamics into the design, the look of a completely new SUV;
official photos show an increase in usable space in the rear of the car;
the whole philosophy of the appearance and interior of the Japanese jeep will change.

If the price stays the same or even drops, the SUV is guaranteed success in 2015. It's hard to say that the current generation Nissan Pathfinder is a success, but next year the manufacturer is set to launch a completely new SUV with a different positioning.

Jeep Grand Cherokee - new with major updates

If you want to buy a cheap SUV, for example, up to 900,000 rubles, you should bypass the new Jeep. In 2014, one of the most successful cars in the class was updated, offering customers even more dynamics, power and beauty. Among the visual changes are the following:

The new Jeep looks very modern, no trace of the past conservatism remains;
narrow front optics changed not only appearance, but also technology;
in the photo you can see completely new stampings and ribs on the body;
the interior has changed significantly.

Among the new jeeps, this sample is distinguished by the clear character of the winner. The unique design features are designed to attract young people and representatives of various social circles to buy a jeep.

Skoda Snowman - presentation already in 2015

There were various rumors about the 2015 Skoda model. Many said that the price of new items would be up to 600,000 rubles, someone argued that it would be a copy of the Touareg. In fact, the Skoda Snowman hasn't even decided on the name yet. There are only a few really known facts about the Czech jeep that will see the world in 2015:

The cost of a new jeep will obviously not be lower than 800,000 rubles;
appearance in the spirit of corporate design updates;
the size of the car will be in the gap between the VW Tiguan and Touareg;
the car will receive equipment from the C-class of Volkswagen Corporation

The Jeep from the Czech Republic does not yet claim to have serious achievements in terms of sales, because we do not know even a tenth of the information about the car. Nevertheless, the car has become the expected novelty. After all, Czech offers are one of the few options on the market that exceeds the growth dynamics of Chinese cars.

2015 Mercedes GL is a chic SUV with the best features

When it comes to Mercedes SUVs, we are not talking about prices of 500 thousand rubles or other budgetary limits. Here the question will be about millions, but the cost clearly does not care potential buyers GL-class. This car became a legend even before it left the assembly line of the corporation, because it offers the following features:

The 2014 version and the novelty have a branded German discreet design;
the company offers technologies that are far from the causal Chinese quality;
even in the current unofficial photos, the new generation German jeep looks great;
the updated Mercedes is able to surprise with technology, even if little is known about it.

We are convinced that the technical characteristics of the new SUVs from Germany will be very successful and prevent the company from getting into an unpleasant sales situation. Very little is known about the price of the new Jeep in 2014. Nevertheless, you can already find a lot of people who want to ride the new SUVs.

Summing up

Interesting developments, which will see the world in 2014-2015 or at the beginning of the next season, really surprise with their design and technical findings. More about each new SUV will be known after the official presentation in Russia and test drives performed by specialized magazines.

So far, one thing is clear - if you are interested in the price of a car for 700 thousand rubles, you should not dream of a new jeep. It is better to pay attention to the cheaper car classes of 2014-2015, purchase compact options with good quality and high reliability.

The organizers of the annual professional award "Off-road Vehicle of the Year 2015-2016" in Russia selected the best jeeps and crossovers in eight nominations. The selection of the winners was carried out on the basis of testing carried out by professional experts, as well as on the basis of the Internet voting of motorists. As a result, two ratings of the best SUVs were formed: in the opinion of professionals and car enthusiasts.

The best jeeps and crossovers 2015-2016 according to experts

Range Rover - premium segment

2015-2016 SUV rating in the premium segment topped the most best jeepwhich is what Range Rover professionals think. This premium off-road car has impressive exterior and interior designs, as well as quite impressive technical characteristics.

In general, this model is simply flawless, but hardly anyone wants to test its off-road potential due to the minimum price of this car at 5.3 million rubles.

Volkswagen Touareg is a full-size SUV

This model has recently undergone a re-styling, while the line power units remained the same with a potential in the range of 3-4.2 liters, however, all power plants have undergone pinpoint revision and reconfiguration, which made it possible to reduce the fuel consumption of an off-road car, the price of which starts from 2.55 million rubles.

BMW X4 is a mid-size SUV

The mid-size best SUV of 2015, the price and quality of which are the most balanced, was recognized bMW model X4. This off-road car is a small copy or younger brother of the BMW X6 crossover coupe. However, the winner in its class differs from the latter in its sufficient typicality with the presence of additional sportiness.

The line of power units is represented by three gasoline engines and three diesels, while it is almost similar to the equipment of the X3 crossover. The cost of the car starts at 2.74 million rubles.
