All about buying and selling cars

Domestic cars. Crossovers

New cars for 2017-2018 will be replenished with several crossovers, the appearance of which is eagerly awaited in Russia. Information about many models is classified, but reports from presentations, press releases from manufacturers and spy photos on the Internet give some indication of future bestsellers. Most auto giants followed the proven path of restyling, that is, the introduction of additional options and the refinement of the appearance of well-known brands. At the same time, there were companies that risked investing substantial financial resources in the creation of fundamentally new machines that are still unknown to the general public.

Hyundai Tucson: cheap and cheerful

Let's start the review of new products, perhaps, with the most budgetary version of the 2017-2018 crossovers - Hyundai Tucson. Unfortunately, the designers did not think long about the elaboration of the exterior of the car, as a result of which it looks pretty much like its "big brother" Santa Fe. Distinctive features are captured only in the 6-corner radiator grille, voluminous front bumper and narrow front optics with LED sections. There were no special transformations in the interior, except that there was a little more free space, and high-quality plastic was used in the decoration (it does not creak or peel off in the heat). Dimensions Hyundai Tucson surpassed its predecessor and amounted to:

  • length - 4475 mm;
  • height - 1645 mm;
  • width - 1850 mm;
  • wheelbase - 2670 mm.

As the main power units of the model, both gasoline (1.6 liters) and diesel versions (1.7 liters or 2.0 liters) are presented. On "diesels" there is a choice of gearboxes: either a 6-speed mechanics, or a 6-band automatic. On gasoline models, only a 7-speed robotic transmission is installed. The cost of the updated Tucson crossover, which will go to dealerships in Russia early next year, will amount to 1.2 million rubles in the basic configuration and 1.9 million rubles in the top version.

Honda CR-V - a Japanese miracle on Russian roads

The fifth generation of the Japanese model Honda CR-V will surprise buyers with its reliability, power, and reasonable price. The exterior of the car is not very impressive, but it looks quite passable against the background of competitors. The extremely narrow radiator grille, somewhat angular front optics and the volumetric air intake make the car look aggressive, while the "blown" relief smoothes this effect, giving the CR-V solidity. The developers have tried to equip the salon with everything you need, from comfortable leather seats to a 5-inch multimedia screen. The Honda Sensing safety package with automatically activated driving assistance systems deserves special attention. The dimensions of the new items are not yet reliably known, but according to information from competent sources, the crossover will be slightly larger than its predecessor, and the wheelbase will be 2700 mm. As for the power units, their characteristics are shown in the table:

The start of sales of the fifth generation Honda CR-V is scheduled for mid-2017 in the United States. In Russia, an updated crossover should be expected no earlier than 2018. Its price in the basic configuration will be from 1.5 mln. rubles, and the top version will cost the potential owner from 2.3 million rubles.

Kia KX7 is a new crossover for China

South Korean company Kia plans to conquer the Chinese car market with its new KX7. This car was designed on the Sorento Prime platform with some modifications. The exterior of the model turned out to be ultra-modern, combining volumetric elements (for example, front optics) with narrow details (for example, an air intake). Massive rims, numerous chrome inserts, high-quality interior trim made the car attractive for the middle and wealthy class. The dimensions of the Kia KX7 were:

  • length - 4730 mm;
  • height - 1730 mm;
  • width - 1890 mm;
  • wheelbase - 2700 mm.

It is reliably known about two power units that will be installed on the considered novelty of the 2017-2018 crossovers. This is primarily a petrol 2.0-liter analogue of 240 "horses", equipped with a turbine, and a standard 2.4-liter "aspirated" with a capacity of 189 "horses". The choice of the driver is also offered either a 6-speed manual or a 6-range automatic. The start of sales in China is scheduled for the summer, while the KX7 will appear in Russia no earlier than 2018. The basic configuration will cost the buyer 1.6 million rubles, and the version with all options - from 2.1 million rubles.

Geely Emgrand X7 is a really high quality crossover

While Kia is making another attempt to conquer the Chinese market, the Chinese auto giant Geely is going to present the world with the updated Emgrand X7 crossover. First of all, I would like to focus on the appearance, which the developers have tried to make as original as possible. The exterior of the Geely X7 really looks mesmerizing: the sweeping radiator grille, intertwined with the head LED optics, and the graceful stamping of the bumpers will impress potential owners. Interior trim with decorative elements, an informative instrument panel, as well as excellent ergonomics do not give the slightest hint that this car was released "slipshod". The dimensions of the X7 were:

  • length - 4500 mm;
  • height - 1707 mm;
  • width - 1834 mm;
  • wheelbase - 2661 mm.

1.8 are used as the main power units on the model; 2.0 and 2.4-liter petrol counterparts, combined with a 5-speed manual or the same variator. As expected, the novelty will enter the domestic market by the summer of 2017, so it will appear on the domestic market only closer to winter. The cost of the basic configuration is estimated at 1.3 million rubles, while the top versions start at 1.8 million rubles.

Volkswagen Teramont - a chance to revive the "people's brand"

The Volkswagen automobile concern is going through hard times. The outbreak of a scandal with the deliberate underestimation of harmful emissions into the atmosphere (recall that the manufacturer faked the results of testing diesel engines on its cars) led to billions of dollars in losses and loss of confidence among buyers. The “people's brand” is trying to return its former popularity by releasing new crossover models, one of which is the Volkswagen Teramont. The appearance of the car turned out to be quite restrained: of the original solutions, we note only the rectangular head optics integrated into the oblong radiator grille. The interior includes a touchscreen display, wood and aluminum trims, and comfortable leather seats. The model boasts impressive dimensions:

  • length - 5040 mm;
  • height - 1775 mm;
  • width - 1990 mm;
  • wheelbase - 2980 mm.

Despite the solid size, the weight of the car was reduced to only 2 tons due to the use of light metal alloys. Teramont plans to install only gasoline engines of 2.0 and 3.6 liters with a manual or automated transmission. The first sales will begin no earlier than spring 2017, and in Russia the model will arrive by the end of the year. The minimum price will be 3.5 million rubles, and more powerful versions will cost the owner 4.2 million rubles.

Mercedes GLE - the new flagship in the world of crossovers

Recently, sales of Mercedes have dropped significantly, but the company plans to remedy the situation with a new line of GLE crossover (continuation of the legendary ML series). The engineers of the concern are still working tirelessly on the model, so it can only be judged by spy photos. The exterior of the GLE will be very aggressive, which was achieved due to the volumetric wheel arches, a huge radiator grille, and narrow front optics. While the exterior is relatively clear, the interior remains a mystery, but it makes sense to hope for a dual digital screen, a rear-view camera and a lot of free space. The range of engines is likely to combine turbocharged petrol and diesel units with a large volume, because in order to give the Mercedes GLE maneuverability, you need a solid power. The official start of sales of the series is scheduled for the fall of 2018, and the version adapted for the Russian Federation will appear no earlier than 2019.

Renault Koleos - high-quality "Frenchman" at an affordable price

The flagship of the French mechanical engineering Renault presents another novelty of crossovers of 2017-2018 - Koleos. The exterior of the car will delight you with lush body lines, original "clips" of the rear optics, a massive radiator grill. The interior of the car was not surprising: the panel is almost identical to the Megane model, and the 7-inch screen has habitually replaced the pointer speedometer. For a small surcharge, Koleos will be equipped with seat ventilation, a panoramic roof, a heated steering wheel, but these options are not included in the basic configuration. Compared to its predecessors, the dimensions of the model have grown and amounted to:

  • length - 4670 mm;
  • height - 1695 mm;
  • width - 1840 mm;
  • wheelbase - 2710 mm.

It is planned to install 4 power units on the machine - 2 gasoline (2.0 liters or 2.5 liters) and 2 diesel (1.6 liters). The transmission will be either a 6-speed manual or a 6-band automatic. The Renault Koleos has already made its debut at the Beijing Motor Show, with the start of sales in Europe and Asia scheduled for spring 2017. The novelty will appear in Russia not earlier than next summer, and its cost will be 1.3-1.6 million rubles.

BMW X3 - prestige and cutting-edge developments

One of the most successful German brands over the past decade, BMW is set to showcase a number of new crossover products for the 2017-2018 lineup. The X3 version stands out among the cars, which is created on the innovative CLAR chassis (lowered the center of gravity and increased handling). In addition, the model will be equipped with adjustable shock absorbers, allowing the driver to independently adjust the suspension stiffness. All safety systems have been improved on the car, and the use of light metals has made it possible to optimize the vehicle weight up to 1720 kg. The dimensions of the BMW X3 were:

  • length - 4648 mm;
  • height - 1661 mm;
  • width - 1881 mm;
  • wheelbase - 2810 mm.

The novelty will acquire gasoline power units with a volume of 3.0 liters and 4.2 liters. As an alternative, a hybrid 2.0-liter version with two electric motors is available. The start of sales of the crossover is scheduled for early 2017, and in Russia the model will appear not earlier than summer. BMW X3 will cost the owner 2.5 million rubles (basic configuration) or 3.8 million rubles ("charged" version).

Ford Kuga is the best "American" without flaws

The second-generation Ford Kuga received flattering reviews at the Geneva Motor Show. The novelty of the 2017-2018 crossover was awarded not only with an adult appearance, but also with a luxurious interior with high-quality trim. Restyling clearly benefited the car, since the model has become much more attractive in the eyes of the consumer. The dimensions of the Ford Kuga are now:

  • length - 4524 mm;
  • height - 1745 mm;
  • width - 1838 mm;
  • wheelbase - 2690 mm.

As for the line of motors, they are represented by gasoline counterparts (1.5 L; 1.6 L; 2.5 L) and diesel engines (1.5 L; 2.0 L). A 6-speed mechanics and the same automatic are combined with the listed units. In Russia, Ford Kuga will be assembled at a plant in Yelabuga, so the cost of the car will be affordable for almost everyone (from 1.4 million rubles in the basic configuration).

Thus, the world is waiting for a lot of new cars, including crossovers of 2017-2018, which are distinguished by excellent dynamic characteristics, an acceptable price, a high level of safety and comfort. In Russia, traditionally, most of the "fresh" models appear with some delay, but millions of buyers are ready to wait to buy a well-proven foreign car instead of a domestic car.

The cheapening of oil, the increased interest of the public, the dynamically developing market has led to the fact that companies that have never produced them before in their history have begun to produce SUVs. The British company Bentley, which presented the luxurious Bentayga, was no exception. The British have declared that their crossover will become a symbol of luxury and power.

The Bentayga is equipped with a 6-liter engine and 608 horsepower. An 8-speed automatic acts as a transmission. The car really looks very luxurious, both outside and inside. Currently, the Bentayga is already on sale in Russia, but Bentley decided to slightly modify the car in 2017-2018, in particular, add a third row of seats. The current version of the car can be bought for 15,000,000 rubles.

2017 BWM X6

The new BMW X6 went on sale much later than the X5, so this car can be safely included in the new products of 2017. The X6 as a whole is somewhat similar to the X5, only the front bumper is strikingly different, which indicates the unified style of the brand's cars and the evolutionary direction of the changes.

Compared to the previous generation, the X6 has grown somewhat, with a particularly striking increase in length (by 39 mm), but the dimensions of the ground clearance and wheelbase have not changed.

The base engine for the X6 is a 3.0-liter xDrive 30d with 258 horsepower and an acceleration time to 100 km / h in just 6.7 seconds. If desired, the car can be equipped with a 4.4-liter xDrive 50i with 450 horsepower. Such an X6 will accelerate to 100 km / h in 4.8 seconds.

Prices for a novelty in Russia start at 4,570,000 rubles.

Mercedes GLS
The new GLS has become Mercedes' flagship SUV lineup. It is possible that an even more luxurious model under the Maybach brand will appear in the future.

When comparing the looks of the GLS and its predecessor (GL), it can be noted that not many changes have been made and the cars are similar. The main changes were the other optics, a new grille and a different type of bumper.

Inside the car, there are slightly more changes, most of them affecting the center console, which has received a different display for multimedia and a different design.

The base engine for the Mercedes GLS is a 3-liter engine with 333 horsepower. Sales of new items in Russia will start in the spring, the price for the base model will be 5,300,000 rubles.

Cadillac also decided to present new crossovers for the 2017-2018 model year. The company has decided to upgrade its flagship Escalade. Externally, the shape of the car remained the same chopped and sharp, but the new optics and the shape of the radiator significantly refresh the look of the car. Inside, the car has become more luxurious and modern, especially thanks to the use of a redesigned multimedia system. It is worth noting that from now on, a 12.3-inch display acts as a dashboard.

The base engine has a volume of 6.2 liters and 409 horsepower. It is worth noting that the engine is equipped with 8 cylinders, and in order to save fuel, half of them can be turned off at low engine load.

Prices for such a car in Russia start at 4,500,000 rubles, for an extended version they ask for 450,000 more.

The new Discovery looks strikingly different from its predecessors. Discovery has lost its angular look - the car has become smoother and more modern. In general, the car has become similar to its younger model Discovery Sport.

Depending on the version, the new Discovery can be either five- or seven-seater. Land Rover management notes that the third row can easily fit two adults up to 190 cm tall. Multimedia has also undergone significant changes, including the introduction of the InControl Touch Pro system, support for Apple Car and Android Auto.

The base engine for the car is a 3.0-liter engine with a capacity of 249 horsepower, acceleration to a hundred takes 8.1 seconds. The price for the basic version of the car equipped with such an engine in Russia is 4,033,000 rubles.

The new Audi Q5 was unveiled at the 2016 Paris Auto Show. It is likely that, like its predecessor, the new generation will be sold in large numbers.

The greatest changes took place in the anterior stage of development. The crossover received new optics, a radiator grill, a front bumper. In general, it can be noted that the SUV has become sharper and fresher. In addition, the Q5 is now based on the MLB EVO platform, which has reduced vehicle weight.

The salon has undergone significant modernization. In particular, the center console has been redesigned, the frankly outdated multimedia has been replaced with a modern one, the instrument panel has changed. Overall, the car looks very impressive.

The price for the current generation Q5 in Russia is 2,600,000 rubles. It is likely that due to the hype and novelty, the second generation Q5 will sell for a slightly higher price. The sale is expected in the spring of 2017.

The first photos of the XT5 appeared on the Web back in mid-2015, but this car hit the Russian market at the end of 2016. It is worth noting that initially this car was supposed to be assembled at the GM plant near St. Petersburg, but production there was curtailed, so you can find the XT5 and Escalade assembled in Belarus on sale.

The new XT5 looks much more expensive and more prestigious than the previous generation car. An abundance of chrome, an elongated radiator grille, massive bumpers and optics have significantly improved the appearance, brought some confidence and solidity to it.

The XT5's interior boasts high-quality finishes, advanced multimedia and security systems. The interior of the car has become more spacious and luxurious.

The base engine is a 3.6-liter 310 horsepower engine, which works in conjunction with an 8-speed automatic. The price for such an XT5 is 3,000,000 rubles.

The second generation of Niva, popular both among the people and among GM companies, was supposed to be produced in 2016, but the economic crisis has seriously adjusted the company's plans. According to rumors, AvtoVAZ is considering the idea of \u200b\u200ban independent release of a new generation (although they admit that as the economic situation in the country improves, GM will return to joint work), but the implementation of such a plan will require injections of 12 billion rubles. Currently, only a concept has been developed, while a production car may not see the light of day until 2018.

If we consider the current concept, then it can be noted that outwardly the car has become completely different. Niva 2nd generation has become more modern and fresh. The AvtoVAZ management assured that the production car will be as similar as possible to the prototype.

The base engine will be a 1.8-liter 135 horsepower engine, although AvtoVAZ notes that in order to reduce the cost, it is possible to use its own 122 horsepower engine.

It is expected that the price of such a car will be at least 650,000 rubles.

In addition to the development of the 2nd generation Niva, AvtoVAZ is working on a new Lada 4X4. At the moment, there is not even an image of the concept, only a sketch. We can only say with confidence that, like the 2017-2018 crossovers, the new Lada will look modern and stylish.

As an engine, the management of AvtoVAZ plans to use its own 1.8-liter engine with a capacity of 122 horsepower. It is noted that the new engine will comply with the Euro-5 and Euro-6 standards. It is possible that both a mechanic and an automatic machine will be used as a transmission.

Sales of new items may start in 2018 or 2019, while prices are promised to remain at the level of the current model, which looks unlikely due to the crisis that gripped the Russian economy.

Small crossovers are currently in the trend of the global car market. No wonder Audi decided to develop a crossover slightly smaller than the Q3. Meet Q2!

The premiere of the novelty took place in 2016 at the Geneva Motor Show. Ingolstad does not hide the fact that Q2 is aimed at a youth audience, which is why it received such an aggressive appearance, which is much more aggressive than Q3.

Inside, the car is reminiscent of the Audi A3, with round air vents and a free-standing multimedia display. To please young people, Audi offers a variety of striking interior designs.

Q2 will receive as many as 6 engines, the main one is a liter engine with a capacity of 116 horsepower. The most powerful for this model will be a 2-liter gasoline turbo-four with a capacity of 190 horsepower.

Car sales in Russia will start at the beginning of 2017, but at the moment there is no exact information about the prices for the model.

The second generation Mazda CX-9 was introduced at the end of 2019. It replaced the first generation, which has been produced since 2006.

Externally, the new 2017 CX-9 has a similar look to the CX-5. The car looks graceful and swift, a certain nobility is felt. The changes in comparison with the first generation are simply dramatic: new optics, grille, bumper, taillights and much more.

The interior has changed even more. Redesigned the front panel, changed the multimedia, steering wheel, instrument panel. Finishing materials have also increased significantly. The company notes that the engineers have done significant work on soundproofing.

The base engine is a turbocharged Skyactiv-G 2.5T with a volume of 2.5 liters and a capacity of 250 horsepower.

Currently, the Mazda flagship is assembled in Hiroshima, about 80% of the assembled vehicles are exported to the United States. The start of sales in Russia is expected in 2017, but the exact date and price of the car is still unknown.

The 2018 crossovers are joined by the new Alfa Romeo Stelvio, first introduced in mid-2016.

Outwardly, the car resembles the Giulia sedan, and, to be honest, evokes two associations: blood and sex, the new crossover is so fierce and stylish. Recognizable optics, branded radiator grille, flowing style - this is the all new Stelvio.

Inside, Stelvio is also similar to Giulia. There is a common steering wheel, air ducts, multimedia. Only the front panel looks more massive.

The base for the model is a 2-liter turbo engine with a capacity of 280 horsepower.

In the United States, sales start at the beginning of 2017, but in Russia this car will most likely not be sold, which is due to low demand. Currently, the prices for the car have not been announced yet.

Like other new cars 2017 2018, Mazda crossovers are waiting in Russia, in particular, the 2nd generation CX-5.

Externally, there are not so many changes, and mainly they are other bumpers and a radiator grill, which favorably influenced the appearance of the car. But there are plenty of changes inside. Mazda's designers have redesigned the entire front fascia as well as the steering wheel and multimedia system. It is noted that sound insulation has improved significantly.

A 2.0-liter gasoline engine is used as the base engine. Other characteristics of the engine have not yet been reported.

As for the start of sales, in Japan they will begin in February 2017. In Russia, the model should be expected in early summer. Information on prices has not yet been announced, but their increase is quite expected.

It should be noted that the Chinese automotive industry is developing rapidly. Modern cars cannot be compared to those that were sold 5 years ago.

The new Geely NL-3 received a rather spectacular appearance, made in the corporate style of the company. Inside, the car looks stylish, especially its multimedia system and dashboard.

The base engine is a 2 liter 140 horsepower engine. As a transmission, both a 6-speed manual and an automatic are offered.

The NL-3 will start selling in Russia in the summer of 2017, and these will be Belarusian-made cars. Prices have not yet been announced.

The Lifan Myway is a pretty cute Chinese crossover. Subjectively, its optics, as well as the rear, look especially impressive.

Externally, Lifan Myway looks pretty impressive, but this impression is deceiving. There is certainly enough space inside, but not as much as it seems from the outside. The car interior is simple, but neatly executed. Many experts point out the unusual wells of the dashboard.

The base engine is a 1.5-liter 110 horsepower engine combined with an automatic transmission.

Sales in Russia will start in mid-2017, prices start at 720,000 rubles.

The Toyota C-HR premiered at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show. The novelty is located one step lower than the Rav4.

Externally, the car came out aggressive, stylish, youthful, as evidenced by its spectacular spoiler and roof. Inside the car, it is noticeable that the center console is turned towards the driver, indicating that he is in charge of the car. Experts especially note the 8-inch display of the multimedia system.

The base engine is a 1.2-liter turbocharged engine with 115 horsepower.

The novelty is expected in Russia in mid-2017, but there is no exact information on prices yet.

For the first time, the European version of the HR-V debuted back in March 2015. Externally, the car looks in the style of the Honda company, but it is distinguished by the shape of the radiator, the sloping roof and the rear door handles hidden in the pillars. Inside, the car looks quite modern and dignified, the center console with a large multimedia screen stands out.

The base engine is a 1.5 liter 130 horsepower engine, which can be combined with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a CVT.

The company says that deliveries of the model to Russia are planned no earlier than mid-2017. No pricing information has been released yet.
