Which crossover is better to choose?

Before you go to a car dealership to buy a crossover, you need to decide what exactly you are choosing it for. Vehicles in the SUV segment are divided into three categories. Each group has its own distinctive features.

Compact crossover. The main advantage of this group is low cost, so most of those presented today in Russia belong to the budget category. This option is chosen mainly by residents of cities, since the size of both the cabin and the trunk can be changed at the touch of a button. The compact differs from large cars in less “gluttony”, and from other segments (sedan, hatchback, etc.) in good cross-country ability and all-wheel drive.

The disadvantage of a small crossover is that such a car is unlikely to venture into serious road imperfections. The best representatives of compact crossovers sold in the Russian market are Toyota RAV4, Ford Kuga, BMW X3 and Renault Capture.

Mid size crossover. The best crossovers in terms of price and quality are representatives of this category. In addition, these cars are more versatile. A mid-size crossover is almost a full-fledged large SUV, with high seats in the cabin (high driving position), but its main advantage is certainly more economical fuel consumption.

On representatives of the best mid-size crossovers, you can safely go into the forest without worrying about off-road. From this category, the following should be distinguished: Honda Pilot, Ford Edge, Toyota Highlander, Skoda Kodiak, Renault Koleos and so on.

Full size crossover. Representatives of this group are the best family crossovers. In the cabin of such a car, from 7 to 9 seats can be provided, but it is worth remembering that a large crossover consumes much more fuel than its smaller counterparts. When choosing a full-size crossover, people primarily focus on a spacious and comfortable interior, as well as the ability to overcome the most difficult off-road conditions.

Keep in mind that the price range in this segment is huge. This group includes the brightest representatives: Volkswagen Touareg, Land Rover Discovery, Ford Flex and so on.

Official parquet statistics: According to AUTOSTAT analysts, in the first four months of 2019, 36 new cars in the SUV segment were sold in the capital. SUVs accounted for 700% of the entire Moscow market.

If you are wondering: “Which crossover to choose so that price and quality are well combined in it?”. First of all, you need to decide on the budget that you plan to spend on buying a car. Currently, the most budget crossovers are made by Chinese companies.
